ObamaCare Repeal: Harry Reid Confronted in Gourmet Market
by G.M. Heller
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2011, 05:00 P.M. EST.
McLean, VA -- U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) may never go grocery shopping for his wife again.
While shopping this past Saturday afternoon amongst the food aisles at his local gourmet grocer in McLean, Virginia, Sen. Reid came across a fellow shopper who recognized him and asked a question that the senior senator from Nevada plainly did not want to answer.
The private citizen acknowledged upfront to the U.S. Senate's most powerful Democrat that he was a Republican and wanted to know from Mr. Reid himself why the Majority Leader was refusing to allow the just-passed House bill to repeal ObamaCare to come to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote.
Mr. Reid, walking beside the store's imported bottled condiments, responded to his questioner that he was focused on his shopping right now and did not wish to discuss the matter.
Mr. Reid's Republican antagonist was not to be put off and persisted in his questioning.
Leader Reid, who by now was perusing the store's extensive cheese selection, refused to say anything further.
Unfazed by the stony silence emanating from the Majority Leader -- and apparently not at all bothered by the unamused look on the face of the plainclothes Capitol Police officer shadowing the Majority Leader -- the persistent questioner was not yet ready to withdraw.
In a store crowded this busy Saturday afternoon with shoppers from tony McLean and surrounding Fairfax County, where the federal government-fueled economy makes per capita income and spending here amongst the highest in the nation, people know this gourmet grocery for its line of Prime, Natural, and Kobe-style beef, excellent wine list, fine cheeses and other high-end delicacies.
Amongst all this recession chic, Mr. Reid's Republican interrogator decided now was the time to go public.
In a voice that could be heard on the other side of this medium-sized food emporium, the shopper with ObamaCare Repeal on his mind -- no shrinking violet he -- loudly declared to his fellow gourmands (many in lines waiting to check-out) that indeed the graying personage standing right there amongst them was none other than "U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid," and, pointing directly at Mr. Reid, said, "This man is personally holding-up the ObamaCare Repeal bill by refusing to allow it to be brought to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote," and which law if left on the books "can eventually bankrupt the United States of America."
From the check-out area came applause, apparently at the spectacle.
The stony -- now red -- faced Sen. Reid, appearing both annoyed and mortified at being the focus of this unexpected public scolding in the midst of what was to be a quiet moment spent Saturday shopping, tried not to be noticed -- hard to do when one is waiting in a check-out line with someone just a few feet away loudly gesticulating and pointing.
Exiting the establishment as soon as practical, Sen. Reid, with more of his security detail now in evidence, hopped aboard one of two waiting black SUV's.
The mini-convoy pulled away from the curb and out of the parking lot, out of reach, for now, of interaction with pesky opinionated partisans. ###

I'm sure by now the IRS knows every detail about the annoyed shopper.

Yes!!!! Buy that man a beer!
BRAVO! You -- unknown, unafraid, unabashed, patriot -- are a good American.
I"m all for it. MORE of this. MORE OF THIS.
Is this supposed to be a parody of some American novelist? The prose is so indulgent and redundant. It has to be on purpose. Are you for real?
Look like ideological scanners will soon be installed in all DC markets. After all, politicization are a protected class.
Reid is part of the largest Ponzi Scheme in history! The manipulation of American taxpayer $$$ with DEBT in the trillions! He should have been bitchslapped!
When the citizens are afraid of the government, that's tyranny. When the government is afraid of the citizens, that's liberty! Well done, fellow American!!
No the real question is Harry Reid real?
AWESOME. Major Cajones!
Two black SUVs just to go grocery shopping? What kind of security detail does this clown get, and what is it costing us?
He'd have been tarred and feathered in the good old days.
More of this, please! We need such citizens in every aisle of every grocery store, on every street corner, asking questions and demanding that we all be heard. Bless you, whoever you are.
We need more of this.
HOOAH< Americans have NOT forgotten prince harry's scheming manuevers!!
Excellent post. It's about time someone ask Senator Reid publicly why he won't allow health care repeal to come up for a vote on the Senate floor. Lord knows nobody in the media will do their job, so we'll leave it up to private citizens to pick up the slack.
That's what you would expect from a stupid Republican. Thank God he did not have a gun and shoot Harry. Republicans love to RELOAD their guns. Normal people don't act like those Tea Bagger wackos. Where are the Death Pannels Consevative Republicans lied about for months. Oh yeah - Death Pannels are where the Iraq missles of mass destruction are. I guess with my statement I'm being an ass just like the person that annoyed Harry.What goes arround comes arround.
Well done, but now they are going to pass a law to ban that "violent republican rhetoric" in gourmet markets
Unconstitutional Obamacare, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

Well Done!!!
Yes!!!! Buy that man a dinner with champagne. I would love to meet him. This has been my dream to see Harry face to face. I live in Nevada. He is an emabarassment. He only won because of the unions.
Leader Reid, who by now was perusing the store's extensive cheese selection, refused to say anything further.
-- Typical liberal. The only time they choose to "debate" is when no one is there to challenge them. What a lamebrain coward, Reid is. If he truly believed in the monstrosity known as Obamacare, and was well versed on of all its damning rules and regulations, he should have argued them and stood his ground like a real man. Instead, he turned and ran, like a typical wuss liberal. That man who confronted him is a hero.
flash mob opportunity missed. ;(
Love this comment by the Florida Judge who delivered his ruling on Obamacare.
In his opinion, Judge Roger Vinson referenced the Boston Tea Party:
"It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place."
How great would it be if someone had video footage of this incident, then packaged it as a commercial against ObamaCare -- to be aired this Super Bowl Sunday! Now that I'd pay $3 million a minute to see!
Be proud of stating your opinion and asking a public servant(Reid) for an explanation. Also be proud of how you did it without violence or vulgarities. Our politicians need to be questioned more often.
What a very brave man! Reid is a coward and un-American. I will never forgive him for standing in Congress and saying the war is lost.
The only thing that is lost is the democrat's patriotism. They have allowed the Marxist element to take over their party and I will do what ever I can to defeat them in every election I can!
That's what you would expect from a stupid Republican. Thank God he did not have a gun and shoot Harry. Republicans love to RELOAD their guns. Normal people don't act like those Tea Bagger wackos. Where are the Death Pannels Consevative Republicans lied about for months. Oh yeah - Death Pannels are where the Iraq missles of mass destruction are.

Geez, talk about being "stupid" and the pot calling the kettle black.
-- Pannels
-- Consevative
-- Pannels
-- missles
-- arround
-- arround
Hey STUPID LIBERAL, those red lines under the words you misspelled (some repeatedly!) are there for a reason. They mean you don't know how to freaking spell! No doubt you went to a government school.
That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!
:)
/salute
what was the ''CARBON FOOTPRINT'' of all that SUV fleet used to transport that turd and his security entourage to shop for grey poupon..?
Since this turd is so eager to turn us stinky, unwashed masses back into serfs who dont travel by private car, once his 10 buck a gallon 'CAP AND TRADE' gas is out of our plebian reach,
why doesnt he walk to the damn store?
Not so worried about his own ''CARBON FOOTPRINT'' with that SUV fleet are you, you crook?
No more repugnant and vile a ruling class of valueless thieves has even help a population hostage as have these illegal alien importing, US Citizen raping Democrats and Neocon Republicans.
Well done Sir! Let this just be the start!
Awesome!
What another stupid Tea Bagger only wants Rand Paul in the Senate. Save us all from these balloon heads like Michelle "Revolution" Bachmann and Sarah "Reload" Palin. Do we really need dumb jerks like this running our country.Do you really want Republicans to get rid of social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits, Health Care - well I don't they will benefit me and my kids just like they helped my Purple Heart father and mother.
HANG this PUNK and ALL the rest of the DEMORATS!!!!
SCUM ESPECIALLY the NIGERO'S and SPICCKS!!!!
Mr. Reid should watch carefully what is happening in Egypt. When people have had enough of their tyrannical and oppressive government, they get loud and angry. Without firing a shot, the Egyptian protesters have forced Mubarak into stepping down. Mr. Reid, much to his surprise, may find himself (and his fellow henchmen) in the same predicament, sooner rather than later. Sleep poorly, Harry!
love the tone of this article, so obvious the "writer" has an agenda. it's amazing how many parrots are on the right ... the just follow the talking points! should be called the scarecrow party ... all scare tactics, buzz words and no brains.
way to go .....we should all be lucky enough to run into some of these.....elected officals
But Ried has cheese, so all is well with the world, I guess...eesh...
This shopper needs a commendation!
I'm totally against ObamaCare, but the local grocery store was not the place for this clown to harass Senator Reid. Give these politicians a little privacy. It's the decent thing to do.
Rather typical of an elected official, isn't it? Reid conducts his legislative business as he pleases and then seems confused and shocked when he is brought to task for it. It's this kind of cavalier dismissal of discontent citizens that sparks the heated political atmosphere in the United States.
www.libertyascendant.blogspot.com
That's right Harry, no time for the little people in this country. You can't even answer a question posed to you by an American. I feel the love you have for all of us out here Harry. Pompous, elitist, bigot.
"That's what you would expect from a stupid Republican. Thank God he did not have a gun and shoot Harry. Republicans love to RELOAD their guns. Normal people don't act like those Tea Bagger wackos.

Actually, you are being an ass of a different sort. You presume Republicans are murderers, you use the derogatory instead of the correct term for the "Tea Party", and toss in a couple for non-sequiturs for good measure. The ass that followed Mr. Reid was upset about a political decision, you appear to just be upset.
Notice how the Liberal Loon above tried to work in the following unrelated and assinine comments:
"Republicans love to RELOAD their guns."
"Normal people don't act like those Tea Bagger wackos."
"Death Pannels, Iraq missles of mass destruction"
One thing he got right: He's an ass.
Brilliance. Well done, that anonymous patriot shopper. Would that I could buy you a drink, my friend.

I believe we're all aloud opinions of our own. This is still a free country... for now.
But, I believe the talking points were:
1. Unemployment will stay below 8%
2. It will create 1M...no, 2M...no, 3M, jobs. Yah, that's it.
3. We'll have a depression if we don't spend a zillion dollars we don't have unless we steal it from your pockets or borrow it from our new buddy Commie Ch1na.
4. You'll get to keep your doctor
5. You won't lose coverage
6. Doctor's just wanna chop off your leg to make money
7. We'll have a depression if we don't spend a zillion dollars we don't have...oh wait...
I believe the D (for Donkeys) made those points pretty popular. But then, libs wouldn't know Truth if it hit them in the a$$.
let that wheezing, scrawny, old timer walk down to the store,
since he needs to take the same means of transit that he envisions for the ''little people'' if he gets his way.
Reid got elected on the backs of illegal and first generation LaRaza Mexicans,
who were turned out to vote against a america they cant roll over and do from behind.
'Hairy' is their key to keeping the usa bound, gagged, and on its belly to await the 'needs' of Mexicans.
Thank you sir for doing what most in this country would love to say to Mr. Reid. He doesn't deserve to serve our people and I don't feel he won the election in an honest way. Bravo!
Tell those annoying Tea Baggers to leave Harry alone.If he was not any good he would not have been re-elected by Nevada.These Republican wing nuts that caused all the loud outbursts at political forums before the election only use lies, fear, and hate to spread their twisted ideas. They also bring their guns to forums to spread fear and make them feel powerful, but they are not normal people.
WTG!!!!!! I mush more of us had the guts to confront these crooks!!!!
Too bad they didn't tar and feather the SOB (Reid) and run him out of town on a rail.
Way to go Mister!! We the People need to take these buffoons on in public! If only Reid would have been washed out to sea in the last November tide. I'd drink to that!!! Reid is such a jerk.
Someone should delete that comment above by the lib pretending to be a conservative (the one being all racist). I don't want to copy and repeat the nasty, but it's posted @7:39, I think...

How's the basement, Skippy? Maybe you should get some sun...they say it's good for the disposition.
Don't repeal Romney Health Care. It was Mitt's great health care plan put into effect in Massachusetts and now it is our country's Health care plan. Don't repeal because this is plan needed by the middle class. This plan will save many families that need health care.
they all should be confronted by the citizens and personally know what everyone else thinks. these demos need to go!!
What, praytell, is the honorable name of this intrepid interrogator???
Good job Sir!
I hope Reid is thinking
of all the people that
are unemploy when he is
out shopping for all
that gourmet food. I
hope he is enjoying
spending our tax money.
Awesome if this happened. Our politicians should not hold there heads in shame and if they do they should not be our politicians. Thanx you unknown great American
This is the right of the people to air their grievances. Whether he likes it or not......He works for us!
Funny part about most of you posting here. If this same thing happened to you in a store, most of you would want to start a fight with the person badgering you while you are shopping. Since it is Mr. Reid being badgered, that is alright with you. That is the problem with America today, most of you don't know the time or place or have enough common sense on how to deal with a problem.
Reid never would have been re-elected if SEIU hadn't been in charge of the voting machines in Las Vegas.
As was previously said, in the good ole days, this type of backroom politician would have been tarred and feathered. The only problem is, with oil at $100 per barrel, we can only afford the feathers.
"If this same thing happened to you in a store, most of you would want to start a fight with the person badgering you while you are shopping."
If it was my boss, I'd listen.
Bravo!! More please!
Obama is a better President than George W Bush was. Obama is a great speaker, smarter, and he is for the middle class. Three cheers for Obama who will get re-elected in 2012. Three cheers also for Harry Reid who has to put up with Bigots when he grocery shops.
It is not the place of the government to tell me I have to buy insurance. I have paid taxes and SS for 50 years and feel I am entitled to medicare-nothing else. If I want to buy it then its OK but I shouldn't be forced. What is next-make it illegal to ride a bicycle? Or ride a horse? Or eat french fries? That is common sense-not party lines. I am an American who possess a brain and common sense. I don't let anyone tell me how to feel and keep an open mind and listen to opposing positions and not oppose them only because they are a Republican or a Democrat.
"Politics may not be the oldest profession in the world but the results are the same" ~ Janis Joplin
You, guys are great encourage another person to confront someone going about their day. Shout him down, that,s the Great American way thank God he didn't hurt the man. Where were all of you doing the Bush years, going into an unjust war?
Good for this shopper. Every Senator should be stopped where ever they are and asked the same question. When they get back to their state, they should be stopped and asked every time they go out
Hey..Our wonderful leader said."get in your opponets face", anytime, anywhere. Apparently this only applies to DemocRATs, Socialists, and communists.
Wow. Do you all realize how paranoid and crazy you come off? Reid is not your enemy. Granted, he's not the best politician out there, but he's part of a group of elected officials that tried their asses off for two years to get YOU better and more affordable health care, which was stubbornly blocked by Republicans with corporate interests behind them. By fighting "Obamacare" as you call it, you're unknowingly shilling for insurance companies who value profit more than you. How has the right allowed corporate interests to get them to vote against their own interests. It's unbelievable that you all really think that the government is "tyrannical and oppressive." They are not trying take your guns and rule your life. Please, please just take a breath and read more independent and nonpartisan sites to find out what's really going on.
Excellent! Make these politicians and liars face there conscience.
We all know why he won't let it come to a vote...he knows if he does, some of the Democrat sheep that allowed it to happen the first time will roll over on him and vote for repeal! Then, uhhhhhbama will have to veto the bill...and cost himself votes in 2012. On the good side, this will just ensure Reid will go by way of Pelosi in 2012...when the GOP takes control of the Senate and the White House.
That's what we need these great Americans getting in the face of leaders and letting them have it. Great Americans, where?
This maggot should be confronted at ever chance. He is not deserving of any respect what-so-ever.
For some reason I can't muster any sympathy for an elite bolshevist snob like Harry Reid.
Public humiliation works! It doesn't matter how rich or how powerful these elitists are. It's our only defense against these scumbags. It works!
In Massachusetts we have to have insurance or we get fined at tax time. It is ok with me because everyone is insured and when there are Health Issues everyone who lives in Mass will be treated. I believe it is a great idea to insure everybody - I just would have been happier if there was a public option in the health plan, but we can make it better. It is great for all Republicans and Democrats in Mass to have health care and the majority support it. Mitt Romney was the Governor of Mass that got this great health plan passed. Thank you Mitt - we love you.
Senator Reid acts More Like a Communist Poltiburo Member than a Democratically elected Senator of the USA!
It simply laughable that the Democrats, liberals, leftists, and other assorted moral relativists consistently resort to name calling and distractions in their posts. Unable to actually defend Harry Reid's actions, policies, and statements with reasoned arguments of their own, they fall back on the tools that served them so well as children. Hey folks, there's a reason that a name-calling adolescent like Chris Matthews cannot articulate an argument against Michelle Bachmann and repeated falls back on calling her names. When all you have left is "Balloon Head" you're irrelevant and inconsequential, not to mention, simply wrong.

So tell us, when is the appropriate time??? A Townhall?? they don't let anyone in that they haven't hand picked themselves..A convention?? They don't let you speak, you are only there to listen and applaud stupidly at their every word...How about , nope not that either...so hmmmmm??? Tell us just when are we to speak to them???
You are not being an ass lib, you are just showing your stupidity while teabagging you boyfriend. Get you lips off Harrys cock already
Typical behavior from a POS T-Bagger Repuglican, couldn't expect less. This is nothing but harrassment and the security should have removed the man from the store. When a US Senator cannot peacefully go shopping then civility in the USA is gone, thanks to Limbaugh, Fox Noise, Beck, Hannity, Savage, Levin and other POS rightwinger talking heads. Harry should have punched the jerk in the nose!
I love Chris Matthews . He preaches the truth.I guess I come from a family that teaches love thy neighbor not from a "Baloon Head" family that preaches hate,fear, and lies.
Repeal ObamaCare completely.

Before then, defund it, win lawsuits against it, and keep working to pass legislation to repeal it.
""This is nothing but harrassment and the security should have removed the man from the store.""
Oh I seee, It is only harrassment when a concerned republican citizen does it but not when SEIU and other union croines of his do it at a bankers home scaring the heebeejeebee's out of a child, right??? It isn't harrassment when LARAZA or any other ILLEGAL group in here does it to a republican senator or candidate now is it??? You liberals sure now how to give dbl standard a new set of rules now don't ya???
This shopper is my new hero! I still can't believe the idiot's in Nevada that re-elected Reid to the Senate. My wife and I have vowed to not visit Nevada again until Reid is out of the Senate. Our international electronics company is owned by a very wealthy family...the day after Reid was elected, he canceled our corporate conference (700 employees for 4 nights) to be held in Vegas in October, and forfeited a $50,000 deposit.
Matthews is a slughead. Another "D" for dummy and deception.
""I love Chris Matthews . He preaches the truth.I guess I come from a family that teaches love thy neighbor not from a "Baloon Head" family that preaches hate,fear, and lies."""
And which part of Chris Matthews rants calling Palin names and wishing her death is part of that 'love thy neighbor' sermon?? You hypocrits wouldn't know truth and love if it slapped you in the head!!!!
Way to go shopper! Remind our incometent leaders who is really in charge.
Reid is a citizen. He deserves the same protections that we all enjoy, nothing more and nothing less.
If he is man enough to shove Obamacare down other citizens' throats, he ought to be man enough to stand and account for it.
What a dumb ass (not Reid)
Shocking a loud mouth republican who can't get his facts straight! and a bunch of repubsheep on here cheering his ignorance on.
Don't forget. Harry Reid is the one who, in 2008, complained about smelly tourists visiting the Capitol.
"In the summer because of the heat and high humidity, you could literally smell the tourists coming into the Capitol."
The communists are being challenged in public, HOORAY!
OUTSTANDING!!!!
Conservatives don't do flash mob tactics those are reserved for the Democrates children/teenagers in malls, schools, and on the streets. Conservatives stick to truth and don't muddy the waters with flesh and blood
This guy is a little like my personal hero, former Marine Michael Smith, who waited in line to spit tobacco in Hanoi Jane's face at one of her slimy book signings, in KC.
Not only the progressive politicians should we rightly challenge, but we should now challenge SEIU / AFSCME / AFL-CIO membership and leaders. Start with former leader Andy Stern. Then go after AFL-CIO. These people are ll parasites. If you know any of them, take their picture, find out who they are and post them online. It is time to eliminate the progressive left.
Good for the voter. Confront authoritarian dictatorship at all costs. These royal know-it-alls are a danger to our liberty. They must not be allowed to continue to ignore the will of the citizens and abuse their power. They are paid to work for us!
Confront them all, on both sides of the aisle. Public humiliation for those that break the public's trust.
Once again, Bravo!
Funny how little men like Reid just run away when faced with reality. I wonder which part of the socialist government mini-Reid will have torture that honest, curious voter.
Freedom of Speech! Way to go patriot. The truth rings true.
to those who are throwing out the comments about "reloading their guns" was it not our emperor who made the statement about taking a knife to a gun fight. to the other guy who made the statement about reading unpartisan sites. wow that is coming from a guy whose party whose leader said that the health care bill could be read after it was voted on. The guy who shot off about an unjust war and another guy who brought up weapons of mass destruction. There were terrorist training camps found in Iraq. There were weapons of mass destruction. Do your research there were large motor shells found attached to canisters of nerve gas, and I guess they used baby powder on the Kurds. You see an unjust war I saw a country who once their leader was deposed millions of common citizens elated at the thought that the torture of a regime was gone. You anti war whiners. do your research on the Iraq death chambers, and do not compare it to our interrogation of terrorist. we never hung people from the , used electrodes on their genitals, beat, cut off fingers and then killed them if the answers were not believed. I pity people who refuse to do their research. Im not afraid to leave my name. Libs do not waste your time attacking me. You have nothing to say.
Awesome, these people think they are above the so called "regular people" but we need to remind them THEY WORK FOR US!!!! check it out these guys should be part time and should live like us citezens live if we dont need protection then neither should they if this world or country is that dangerous then they need to find out why. to the great man that stood up to the tyrant at the store Thank you and Bravo!!!!!
Thanks Nevada for wasting your votes. You had the chance to reject this criminal and send him packing. You had the chance to rid the country of this pariah but you had an epic fail at the ballot box. You deserve to be relegated to the dust bin of the desert and suffer in your hugely popular unemploymeny rates you could have extricated yourselves from.

My brother went to school with Chris Matthews...he was a drunk then and he is a drunk now. Let him have his leg tingling Obama moments to himself. I don't want to hear it. Hopefully he will follow Keith Olbermann's career path shortly.
why are democrats such wimps? Why do they need government and hide behind beaurocracy? Must be genetic
Right on, bitter clinger!
How is harrassing a senator in the supermarket "brave" or "patriotic"? How would you like it if somebody came up to you in the middle of grocery shopping and demand you defend your politics right then and there? I'd tell them to go eff themselves. Lame, just plain lame. The repeal bill doesn't stand a ghost of a chance in the senate anyway, so why waste one second on it?
Mr. Wee Wee sez "yOu gO girl" and STAND FIRM BEHIND Barack!
2 SUVs? How much does it cost the tax payer each time the "leader" goes shopping?
Are those electric SUVs?
That man is a true Patriot!! Thank you! Harry Ried loves to be recognized by adoring fans, but is a smug jerk when he knows he is not liked.
Repeal the 17th Amendment and put the election of US Senators back into the hands of state legislatures. US Senators were never supposed to represent "you and me", they were supposed to represent the interests of the states against the federal government.
In his argument against the direct election of senators in 1911, New York Senator Elihu Root argued that passage of the Seventeenth Amendment would destroy state sovereignty and foresaw that the “time will come when the Government of the United States will be driven to the exercise of more arbitrary and unconsidered power, will be driven to greater concentration, will be driven to extend its functions into the internal affairs of the States.” Congressional Record, 61st Cong., 3rd Sess., 2243.

Rats eat cheese - Elitist rats eat gourmet cheese. What does a senile rat elitist senator eat?
We'll never know because he rushed in his security SUV paid for by our taxes.
I love this guy!!!!!!! Who is he? Get him on the news channels.
It takes a true AMERICAN citizen to do what the state run media refuses!!!!
You got it dude!!!!
Harry Reid, you suck! Nevada, for re-electing this @sshole, you SUCK MORE!
Joe the plumber??? I thought he lived in Ohio? We should all boldly ask our representatives why they are behaving the way they are.
Excellent! Best news I read all day today!
They failed to mention if he charged it all to us taxpayers... cheese, adult diapers, expensive wine, Grey Goose, Kobe, etc...
Probably did.
Now, the video surveillence tapes will have been seized, the man identified, and his life placed in turmoil.
Or, some of those VEGAS goons will show up at his door and shoot a video breaking his legs for one of the TV series...
Congratulations to the Patriot who had the mettle to publicly ostracize Senator Reid! More of this behavior toward every one of our Masters and the idiots who vote for them would go a long way to restoring some Constitutional respect in the population.
We can beat them, if we have the courage displayed here.

Reid is an idiot. He is destroying this country. The liberals in this country are just sheep. If the republicans pushed anything this controlling and stifling to the American public in the manner Reid, Pelosi, and Obama pushed this entitlement monstrosity through, they would be screaming their heads off like they did with the Patriot Act (which the dems kept). Funny how they don't mind it when THEY have the power, and even funnier how the left doesn't care anymore. Sheep.
They should have charged him double for his groceries and explained to him that this was so that those less fortunate could shop there too and that he personally would have to pay his fair share. Then everyone could watch him whine like the little girl that he is. Self rightous bastard.
We need to do this at every opportunity. Whenever they peek their pathetic cowardly carcasses out from behind the black armoured glass!
Well Done Sir! Well Done !!!
I wish someone had videoed this and posted... WE are long overdue in rising up against the Royal KING and Queen...Harry and Nancy... VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS OUT... Time for term limits
Someone said, "Wow. Do you all realize how paranoid and crazy you come off? Reid is not your enemy."
No sir, you are wrong. Every progressive in the caucus, who want and are working too destroy our constitution, and have been doing so since Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and FDR, (who actually tried to write a second bill of rights, "healthcare, home and jobs", and was told by the court in the 1930's they were not rights), IS my enemy. Any enemy of the Constitution, including the current embarrassment, I mean president, is my enemy. I love America and the great, amendable Constitution.
Politicians that raise their hands to swear to uphold the Constitution, who then defecate all over it, are my enemy, and must be defeated and removed from public office.

It could have been far worse for Mr. Reid, he could have been called out by the Muslim Brotherhood for a very un-christian re-education.
Very upstanding citizen! Unfortunately, I wonder if he has now been identified and put on a list by the government for all kinds of unsavory purposes...
It is amazing when those Americans who are fortunate enough to have jobs and are living pay check to pay check. King Harry is out shopping in a Gourmet Market with security gaurds and SUV convoy. Are you kidding this is sickening. Ask the King who are the 700 or 900 companies opting out of Obama care. Are the union backed companies? King Harry you should stock up on can goods we are in a depression if you did not know.
Good for him, but folks be careful with that stuff. Who knows when the officer decides your being too much of a threat in this freaked out environment and tazes you and plants a gun in your cart.
Especially when confronting a liberal like Reid on his personal time. It's not like waiting in the Halls of the 'Crapitol' which is what they've turned it into.
AMEN Ron Reale
If you tar and feather the senile senior senator and run him out of town, he'll run back to Nevada; he is useless to us here.
Nevadans did not re-elect this guy. SEIU, illegals and the gaming industry bought the election.
Now this is a refreshing story! I hope this is the change you voted for Reid... because this is the only kind you will see!
RUN FOR OFFICE, YOU'RE PRIMED!
Unfortunately, as a resident of Nevada, "Whorehouse Harry" Reid is my Senator, but it took a gutsy resident of Virginia to call this crotchity old crook out in public. BRAVO, Mr. Citizen of Virginia; ya done good!!!! If it weren't for Reid's bullying and threatening all the SEIU union members here in Las Vegas with losing their jobs if they didn't vote Democrat, we'd all be rid of this disgraceful government parasite. We're counting the days.......hope there's a country left after Harry and his gang finish.
Oprah visited Denmark once to see how wonderful their life was. They are about as socialistic as you can get without tipping the corner. She was surprised at the tiny apartment the woman lived in. After all, this woman was considered very successful. No car. BUT she had gov't healthcare. We have to realize there's only a certain amount of money to go around and some people don't want to spend it on healthcare. To have our gov't force us to buy healthcare is completely unconstitutional. To uphold this law will completely destroy our country. It means that anything can be passed and we have to live with it. That is not freedom.
"This is nothing but harrassment and the security should have removed the man from the store."
Wow, this is possibly the most offensive opinion expressed in the United States from the mainstream since Pearl Harbor silenced the American Nazi sympathizers. Since when did a supermarket's (probably nonexistent) security force become an arm for insulation of the powerful?
"When a US Senator cannot peacefully go shopping then civility in the USA is gone..."
What a naif. These people are nexuses (nexii?) of power, by their own preference, standing athwart your destiny. They hold your life in their hands, Harry Reid morseo than all than all but a handful. And you're personally offended that he heard some unpleasant heckling in an unpleasant forum? If you were a Republican, people from across the political spectrum would consider you a detestable boot-licker.
"Harry should have punched the jerk in the nose!"
On this we agree. That would have made for a hilarious news cycle.
Harry and the Administration think they are above the law. Every American should question them every day. Obamacare is illegal as of yesterday and yet they push on. These criminals should be brought to justice.
Did Harry buy any tea bags? His are apparently empty.
If it was a Republican member of the House or Senate, and the protagonist or civilian was a registered Democrat or a dreaded liberal, how much do you want to bet that Hannity, Beck, Savage, Fox News and all the other giant tea bagger babies would be whining? Given the fact that Republicans use hateful language, bring guns to rallies, and make constant threats, what do you think the chances are that one could commit violence against a representative? Remember Arizona?
Good for the shopper! But it's banker bailouts and an unwinnable war which is already bankrupting us.
BRAVO! It's TIME some of these SCUMBAGS were confronted! They think they can sit up in Congress and pass laws AGAINST the people as they please with no repercussions whatsoever!
If I were there I wold have casually walked up from the bakery section with a cherry pie and smashed it in his stone face.
At the end of the article is even a more telling item that says all you need to know about a man that is not in touch with reality or has an inflated sense of his self worth.
AFter leaving the market he and his security got into 2 SUVs. Wonder how much gas that took and what about his carbon footprint. Or is that just for others, or maybe those people that visit Washington and smell so badly.
Hey, Raj, you douche bag, your party created, the Republicans, are some of the biggest liars ever. Bush, Cheyney, Rumsfeld, etc. are some of the most corrupt and self-serving politicians ever. They lied, took this country to war, revealed the identity of a CIA agent, took bribes from Jack Ambramhoff, Larry Craig, Foley, Ensign, etc. You guys are such liars. Don't forget to tell Rush to stay off the prescription meds. You're criminals and liars.
Where is the tar and feathers when people need them. Now THAT would be a story. Harry Reid Tarred and Feathered at Gourmet Market.
At the end of the article is what got to me.
He was taking 2 SUVs to go to the market. Wonder how much of a carbon footprint that took. But we all know that Prince Harry, thinks he is royalty where rules and regulations that he wants enforced on others, don't apply to him.
And isn't it amazing as Obama speaks about the need for government to be responsive to the rioters, Prince Harry doesn't want a vote.
But even more important, and not being blared from every mountain top, is how can a person that took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution not allow a vote to repeal a bill that has been declared unconstituional.
Run Sarah, Republicans. Please. You have no leadership, no vision, no intelligence, no solutions. All you Republicans care about are rich corporate donors, Big Oil, Big Insurance, Big Pharma and anyone who screws working class Americans.
"What another stupid Tea Bagger only wants Rand Paul in the Senate. Save us all from these balloon heads like Michelle "Revolution" Bachmann and Sarah "Reload" Palin. Do we really need dumb jerks like this running our country.Do you really want Republicans to get rid of social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits, Health Care - well I don't they will benefit me and my kids just like they helped my Purple Heart father and mother."
This is what I like about democrats, talk alot and say nothing. Republicans don't want to get rid of SS and Medicare, they want to save them by privatizing them. Right now both are going broke because the dems have raided all of the money to spend on other junk. Would you really want to invest 16% of your salary for 40 years and get $1400/mo.back in return. Only a democrat would want this. More people should confront their Congressperson for answers.
This similar to a conversation that I had with Frank Lautenburg in the car rental line at the West Palm Beach airport. It happened right after these idiots voted for the stimulus package and Frank and I got into a shouting match about it. It was at the same time that a good friend of mine ran into Arlen Spector in D.C. and called him a traitor. They need more of this....
THANKYOU!!!!!!!
How dare you defile one of the exhalted ones by speaking in his presence. You were expected to grovel, while urinating on yourself. You have brought shame and retribution on us all, the great unwashed. A peasant should know his place. I don't expect you to survive the next 72 hours.
This is great. Shameless Libs are only dangerous when they can work their Commie trade safely behind doors and insulated from the public. Like cockroaches when the lights are turned on, they tremble and scurry when publicly confronted.
Find this outstanding citizen-- and give him an organic fruit basket!
Reid is a PUBLIC SERVANT.How DARE he not answer the question the man's question.
Coward. Traitor. Agent of chaos. You do not deserve the freedom to shop freely in this once great country.
If only the was a cell phone video. Harry Reid shopping for delicacies while ignoring a citizen, priceless!
I love when people complain about the intelligence of conservatives, but seem to omit that President Obama spoke of not yet having visited all 57 states, and can't seem to remember that the inalienable rights come from God, which has been omitted on many occasions.
And then there is Sen. Schumer with the three branches of government, the president the house and the senate. That is real intelligence.
And as for the tea bag party, amazing how you don't see them rioting, assaulting police, destroying property, or even being very angry when they peacefully assemble to protest the direction that this country is going.
As to republicans for companies and rich people. Anyone seen any poor people consulting with President Obama? Anyone seen people surrounding Obama that profess to loving this country, rather than thinking Chairman Mao is to be admired, or that the Berwick, with health care, has said that Obamacare would necessarily have to redistribute wealth.
And when lawyers are ready to LegalCare, similar to health care I might get a little excited, but lawyers again don't want for themselves what they want to force on others. Last I looked, lawyers are one of the biggest donors to democrats, and I guess it pays to do so.
No need for the Senate to vote on the Obamacare repeal. The GOP should take a page from the LibCommies' playbook and simply "deem" the repeal bill that passed in the House as also passed in the Senate.
Don't you love it -- he has two have two big SUVs to go shopping (that should reduce his carbon footprint), in order to ride to the store and spend his ill-gotten riches on the most expensive food possible. No cheap macaroni and cheese or frozen pizzas for Harry! Only fine French cheeses and imported wines with gilded labels for him. It pays to be a senator and vote yourself handsome salary increases, while at the same time denying cost-of-living increases two years in a row for Social Security pensioners, and cutting 50 billion dollars out of medical assistance for seniors, not to mention standing by and doing absolutely nothing while the economy flounders and people lose their jobs and their homes by the hundreds of thousands. But bon appetit, Harry, enjoy your gourmet luxuries, you've earned them, or at least you think you have.
Do you really want Republicans to get rid of social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits, Health Care
Bundling together "Social Security, Medicare, Veterans benefits, Health Care" is typical of liberal chuckleheaded thinking, I'm afraid.
SS is a mandatory ponzi scheme.
Medicare is a mandatory ponzi scheme.
Veterans benefits are part of the benefits specified in the CONTRACT that our ALL-VOLUNTEER armed forces have with the Defense Dept. Nobody is required to participate, because nobody is required to enlist.
Health Care is what I get from my DOCTOR. Bureaucracy, rationing, politically-motivated decisions about my care, increased prices, decreased availability, etc., are what I will get from GOVERNMENT.
How can even a liberal come up with such a dissimilar list??
And, by the way, with the exception of Vets' benefits, my answer is YES, please, eliminate all of those "benefits" and let me (or at least my kids) stop paying for them!!!
Wow, there is hope. But know that your bravery to utilize your so-called free speech will not go unpunished. The government will come down on you eventually, one way or the other. Good luck....
Great blog post. Wish I'd have been there to point and sneer...
Well done!!! Noticed that the 7 out of 10 Americans in the store cheered the man on also....When will mainstream media begin to act like their namesake and side with the 7 out of 10?
Wow! God bless this fellow! Unfortunately for him, as Patriotfather noted, he will probably be audited by the IRS or be targeted as a terrorist or, could find himself the victim of a tragic accident. Nonetheless, I think what he did was great. Maybe someone can post the security camera videos (hopefully with audio)?
Notice that Harry Reid, a known THIEF, spends money by the truckload while his policies, and his party's policies, are destroying America.
If you voted for Democrats in 2008, you will be forgiven. If you voted for them in 2010, you are just stupid. And if you vote for them in 2012, you are an American-hater, and you should lose your job. Don't vote to keep Obama and his Thuggish cabal in power - vote this crowd OUT.
The citizens of Nevada want Obamacare. They must, they re-elected Harry Reid. He will be the majority leader of the senate for at lerast two more years and he will be a Senator for at least 6 more years.
Mr. Reid's position could not have been miscontrued by anyone. His lack of ethics and honor should have been readily apparent as well. The angry guy in the grocery store really has nothing to be mad at Reid about, he should be angry at his fellow citizens for inflicting this execrable man on the rest of us.
He may have helped the economy! Just think harry will propose a bill to have their own senate imported foods store with no outsiders allowed and only SEIU workers behind the registers- they could name it "The Elite shoppers paradise"
Funny...was this guy complaining when the republicans were filibustering the original vote? My guess is not...
Funny how all the left-wing bedwetters-- who preach "bringing guns when 'they' bring knives" and "getting in the faces" of anyone who dares oppose or even question their communist dictatorship-- have a nuclear hissy fit over a Dem simply being questioned by an understandably concerned citizen over the legislative terror attack he forced upon this once-great country.
Harry Reid needs this to happen on a daily basis. And get that American a case of whatever beer for being persistant.
Every time these sell outs are in public they need to be scolded, branded as traders.
I'm in favor of getting in there face just like this man did.
>>interaction with pesky opinionated partisans.
>>pesky opinionated partisans
Seems G.M. Heller has the same mindset as Harry Reid.
I agree... BRAVO!!!
This is wonderful. It is just 100% OUTSTANDING. That Patriot spoke for 200 million of us.
It gives us all hope that DC is still a government for the people and by the people.
AWESOME! Thank you Patriot!
A little moment-of-truth like this can lead to a revolution.
AWESOME!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Let that rodent now have to stay holed up in his mansion (paid for by his land deal where he converted Federal property to private property and made $$$MILLIONS for himself)
From Mike In La Jolla!
This is absolutely disgusting. That guy is an arrogant asshat who serves no purpose by harassing Mr. Reid. Ambushing someone when they are trying to do something as simple as buying food is no way to get them to be receptive to your opinions.
It's no secret that the reason he won't allow the health care repeal to go to the senate is because this country is in desperate need of socialized medicine like the majority of the civilized world.
It's about time, they need more of this. He might talk about it if it was the middle of the night, just like the ways they passed all those freedom robbing bills, so they did not have to hear or face no one.

Mubarack is more responsive. After a week of protests by two hundred thousand the dictator is resigning. Our dictators, after a year of protests from millions, passed a law made in secret and now act as though they are immune from criticism or retribution.
Maybe they just aren't afraid of us?
Recession? The United States is in its third great Depression.
All his shopping, and SUV's with security detail are of course taxpayer funded and paid.
Something is really wrong here.
These fools need to hear this all the time, louder and louder. They are smug, free-spending bastards - all of them and need to be arrested for treason. The people are paying attention and will not forget...
Do you think this is what Big Sis had in mind concerning, "if you see something, say something." If every true American, who has the moral courage to confront these treacherous and treasonous people, then I say, let the new and righteous revolution begin.
Whoa, you mean the guy didnt pull out a gun and start shooting????? How completely and totally unexpected!
Beautiful!
About time Dingy Harry got confronted.
He needs to remember, HE works for US, not the other way around.
See quote below--Well, Anonymous, normal people don't act like Harry Reid.
Anonymous said...
That's what you would expect from a stupid Republican. Thank God he did not have a gun and shoot Harry. Republicans love to RELOAD their guns. Normal people don't act like those Tea Bagger wackos. Where are the Death Pannels Consevative Republicans lied about for months. Oh yeah - Death Pannels are where the Iraq missles of mass destruction are. I guess with my statement I'm being an ass just like the person that annoyed Harry.What goes arround comes arround.
Reid - selling out America for corporate kickbacks while serving the bankster overlords, who in turn trot out the brown clown community organizer from Kenya to read teleprompted messages. What a racket.
It's obvious why Reid won't allow the repeal ObamaCare bill to come to the Senate floor: like most Democrats and most Americans he supports making health insurance universal, as in all other industrial democracies. Why should he help repeal legislation he supported? Why should he oppose his own president? In case you didn't get the memo, folks, Democrats support strenghthening and expanding the safety net. Deal with it.
And well, done, Senator Reid, for keeping your cool and maintaining your dignity in the face of another classless teapartier. (And yes, it IS classless to accost and hound a member of Congress in a private moment with his wife; sure, he's a public official, but that doesn't mean he's entitled to zero down time, or that's he's never allowed a moment for his private life. You people make me sick).
Oh, and wingnuts, the futures markets are now betting that Obama wins reelection. Deal with that, too.
I would like to buy that man a drink. It is nice to see someone has some large enough brass ones to call the majority leader out. We need more commoners willing to speak out. Thank you anonymous shopper dude for getting Harry ruffled.
Give Harry HELL!
This comment has been removed by the author.
So why is this guy against health care? Does he own an insurance company? Or was he just parroting some talk-radio idiot?
Harry Reid is exempt from ObamaCare. But our master wants to help us. Feed me! Feed me! O'Reid and O'Mamma!
The guy who confronted Reid and violated his comfort zone is an American hero.
He burst the bubble that usually surrounds these elected leftists and Reid couldn't handle it.
two black suvs to go grocery shopping....is this an official use of government vehicles??
high 5 joe the shopper
If this is what Vegas is going to do to this country BOYCOTT Vegas. Are you listening Steve Wynn? Oh yeah, you got yours!
Love it, love it, love it!!Hope ole Harry chokes on his gourmet cheese...meanwhile to Mr. Virginia Patriot-- BRAVO SIR, well done!!
federal government-fueled high per capita income? please...it's almost all lobbyists baby
