Blackfive update: Harry Reid hits rock bottom with those Marines who died in Hawthorne, NV

Ironic for me in a way, because in 1957 Marine Barracks, Hawthorne, NV was my first duty station after Boot Camp and Camp Pendleton; the Second Marine Division at Camp Lejeune was my final duty station from 59-61. TD

Nevada training explosion kills 7 NC unit Marines
"Nevada Republican Sen. Dean Heller tweeted: "Thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost a loved one in the Hawthorne Army Depot explosion. Grateful for their service."".

Harry Reid Hits Rock Bottom, Keeps Digging  "Harry Reid immediately took to the floor of the Senate to play politics with their lives by implying the sequester had something to do with it, even though he’s completely unaware of the cause of the accident:"  

Update from Blackfive; Harry Reid is a despicable human being

"For the the Majority Leader in the Senate  to use the tragic death of these 7 Marines to make a political point  shows you how ill served we are by the cretins who govern us. Too bad there's not hot tar and feathers immediately available. I doubt I'd have any trouble recruiting a bunch of Marines to help ride Reid out of town on a rail with the appropriate plumage attached."

Thanks much, Nevada voters.  "The Marine Corps is not happy, according to NBC News reporter Jim Miklaszewski (once again by way of RealClearPolitics):

Now I can tell you, Marine Corps officials this afternoon are taking a strong exception to what Harry Reid implied. Saying that this this exercise, for example, was planned well in advance, had nothing to do with the budget cuts. There were no corners cut, and if they couldn’t afford to have all the safety precautions into place, they wouldn’t do the exercise.
And in fact, one Marine Corps official told us a short time ago that he considers this nothing but pure political posturing on the backs of these dead Marines.

"Are Nevada voters content to allow their honor to be soiled through continued representation by Harry Reid?  They were apparently cool with him inventing imaginary friends to slander Mitt Romney as a tax cheat, but has he finally crossed a line?"

This isn't the first time Harry Reid got into the mud over our military "[Liberals] lie about the premise, then they speak on behalf of the military which they claim to be upset about, which is what they've been lying about in the first place! They are the ones who have been condemning the military. They are the ones who have been demoralizing the military. They are the ones who have -- I can't say this more powerfully enough -- trying to secure defeat for the US military."  Rush Limbaugh
