Floyd brown’s hilarious, 'fabulous las vegas' press conference

Floyd Brown is going after Sen. Harry Reid in his home state of Nevada. In an ad that's been called "one of the strangest you’ll see," (see below) Brown and notorious birther (and aptly named) Gary Kreep claim Reid is cozy with Arab slave merchants (!).

That’s funny enough, but even funnier is the (see above) “press conference” they held in front of the famous “Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. 

It never occurred to them that the sign is one of the hottest tourist photo-op locations in Las Vegas. Watch tourist groups on the right of the screen- a family, some teenage girls, a trio of young men in wife-beaters (who might, incidentally, be Arab terrorists!) clown around for their own cameras oblivious to Brown’s dead serious “press conference” in the middle of it all. 

Hoping to keep the shot clear of outsiders, the videographer finally zooms in. Unfortunately, a couple of teenage girls acting silly for their own camera manage to innocently crowd the shot, giving mock leg show and jumping into each other’s arms as Brown and Kreep drone on about Nefarious Harry.

Of course, it was all a sham- at one point, Floyd tells the camera he’ll take questions later, but of course, there were none… BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PRESS AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE... no anyone but two rumpled, sweating, right-wing, 50-somethings in suits squinting into the desert sun blathering sternly while youthful vacationeers romp blithely around them. Watch the whole thing here.

It was the self-important right-wing at its hilarious best.

Who's Floyd Brown, you ask? Read his reviews:

He's “one of the nation’s dirtiest political strategists” (USA Today); "the lowest form of life." (George H.W. Bush) "a slimy thug for hire," (George Stephanopoulos).

Best known as an architect (with the late Lee Atwater, and Fox News' Roger Ailes) of the racially-charged Willie Horton ad that helped kill the Michael Dukakis candidacy in 1988, Floyd is a deeply religious, evangelical Christian (couldn't you tell?), a birther; a Republican operative who's peddled an Obama impeachment petition since October.

He was once a KVI evening talk host - he and wife Mary Beth, a hack conservative hagiographer, live in Tacoma. Which is why we love to write about him: He's OUR "slimy thug," goddamnit!

Here’s the weird Floyd Brown ad that plays the slavery card against Harry Reid.

Glad to see the sharpest minds of the party are front and center.

[Coiler]

They thought they could beat our president with some sort of 'waterloo'. We are ready for them.

looks like the left has responded with its 'sharpest mind' or best bottom feeder.
welcome back Coils, i hope you haven't lost a step for the battle come November but the failure to work the phrase 'bushler' in your posting is a little disappointing.

[Puget Sound]

am i the only one who finds it hilarious that gary locke was named commerce secretary in this administration?
gov locke has a number of skills, but private sector job generator is hardly one of them.
why can't they at least put a real business type in that role?

[Coiler]

He is idiot bush, Bushler was while he was still in office.

[RagnarDanneskold]

Gary Lock is a socialist that would be in prison in almost other state. Floyd Brown is a Christian soldier. His methods may be stronger than you liberals like, but he's done more good than harm. After all he is with Citizens United who saved the First Amendment at the Supreme Court. There will be a day when all the obamunists including Locke will be "Locked" up.

[Santa]

It isn't it just like this blog to mock Floyd's surroundings but ignore what he is saying. He will defeat Harry Reid and I wish we could get him to work on Patty Murray's campaign.

ah, the ever faithful coils trolling down deep in the murky waters. funny how sparkles or the usual suspects will always be quick to attack conservatives for engaging in the ad hominem insults but remain curiously silent when coils lashes out. no doubt, out in the garden...LMAO

[drool]

The Republicans forgot that the tall guy won at Waterloo. Just like them to not understand history.

[Glenn Beck's Comedy Tour 2009]

Spoken like a true Fascist, Ragnar-head.

[Glenn Beck's Comedy Tour 2009]

Oh, and Happy Easter, you god-damned moron.

[sparky]

Tigsnort, are you paying attention?

[Puget Sound]

yes Tigsnort, don't miss your cue.

this is where you are supposed to throw your hands up in disgust, yell troll-alert and run back to the garden.
we have seen this movie before.

that's the deal, eh sparkles? somehow, you never seem to tire of coiler comments or take issue with 'em.

[KS]

Brown is more of a negative for Harry Reid's opposition than a positive. With that said, I'll wait for the lowest common denominators to weigh in with their ridicule and hyperbole directed at anyone who is a conservative. Talk to the hand...

As sure as there is night and day, it will appear, because the resident statists do not have enough self-discipline to use restraint.

[KS]

It would be a benefit for the country to see Hairy Reid lose in November and in spite of the outrage from the left, my bet is that Hairy will return to pubic life and we can sleep better at night.

to all Reid supporters - I say good riddance, Mr. Reid - it can't happen too soon. In the words of Bill the Cat - thppfftttt !!!!! (raspberries)

[Tigsnort]

Don't get too cocky, you guys. John McCain now has a healthy lead over teabagger candidate Hayworth in AZ, while "centrist" Democrat Blanche Lincoln is falling behind her much more liberal primary challenger. A portend of things to come?

[Puget Sound]

well Tigs, you forget to mention that Sarah Palin is campaigning for McCain in AZ and it would make sense that in a Dem Primary that someone to the left of centrist Lincoln would be polling ahead. After all, much of her 'centrist' Dem support may have shifted away from her given the unpopularity of the HealthCare Bill with the center.

[Tigsnort]

The conventional wisdom on the right is that Obama is so extreme and his policies so anti-American that the Tea Party sentiment is growing and spreading, so much so that the Republicans are going to easily take over Congress in the next election. If that was the case, Blanche Lincoln (who voted against HCR) would be ahead of her more liberal challenger (after all, even centrist Dems hate health care reform, right?).

McCain has long been the scourge of conservative "purists" in the GOP...but if that's so, why is he 15 points ahead of his primary challenger, a Tea Partier who passes the purity test?

[Tigsnort]

PS - Are you suggesting the teabaggers are so like-minded and sheep-like that they'll do anything Sarah palin tells them to, even vote for a man they believe is a RINO?

[ABM1]

The sad thing is that Harry Reid the 3rd most powerful person in Washington DC is so hated in Nevada that he will lose to one of these goomers. It's going to be his own fault due ability to say exactly the wrong thing @ the right time. It's also not helped one of the worst economies in the country & fact that the state always seem to miss out federal funding that could help.

Blanch Lincoln was part of the 60 that passed the Senate Bill in December. That she moved the other way after it didn't matter won't absolve her among the centrist in her own party. Recall that in AR a centrist is probably a conservative Repub in WA.

Palin brings in crowds and helps McCain with the center right part of his party.

[Manfreedom]

Too bad McCain isn't running against Blanche in Arkansas, she could probably beat him down there...

[Julia]

God Bless Dr. Bill!

What would this world be like without the steady hands of men like him.

[Tigsnort]

I just found out Floyd Brown lives in University Place, so he's within a few miles of my neighborhood. Dear god, they're everywhere!

Also... who under the age of 50 is named "Floyd" anymore?

[Puget Sound]

hey neighbor...

and other than someone naming a cat 'floyd' i haven't seen anyone under 50 named floyd anymore. i think 'aiden' has taken that over.

[Fremont]

BTW, on this day in 1987, Fox Broadcasting Co. made its prime-time TV debut with Its first prime time shows.

Happy birthday, Bla'M!

[sparkysayshappybirthdaytoBla'm]

Happy Birthday Mr. Hood!!!

[Duffman]

I'll go along with that. I didn't/don't know if it is in fact your birthday, but if it is...indeed Happy Birthday Bla'M. You're fulfilling a service herein, of which you can be proud.
[Even if you're wrong at times...like the Dori saga....ha]

[chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)]

Happy aging process Mr Hood. Do you still think that all those over 30 should be killed? I personally don't have the same affinity for that idea that I had in the 60's.
And Happy birthday to FOX. That upstart broadcast network eventually led to FNC and has done a huge job of improving the distribution of factual political information to the general public.

[sparkys]

Nice of you to tell Bla'M a joke for his birthday, chucks!

[chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)]

Yes, I understand and hope he got a CHUCKle out of it. I really am a great guy. That is one reason I never flip you crap.
Happy Birthday to you to. (just save that for the real day as I have no idea)

[joanie]

You never flip her crap because she never calls out your ignorance. And "great guys" don't deny children health care or clean drinking water.

Happy Birthday, Michael. You're still the oldest. (Insert happy face along with chocolate cake and candles)

[joanie]

Nicole sitting in for Randi had Frank Shaffer on. He said some things I didn't know: Sarah Palin belongs to some church that believes in the Armageddon and the reason she is enthusiastically supporting killing wolves is because they eat elk and moose. Those crazies up there who believe in this are storing food for the great influx of people who will be fleeing north. They're storing meat

Also, he said she had an exorcism. Not what I imagined an exorcism to be but certainly messaged clearly: Thomas Muthee Sermon: Why Sarah Palin? October 16, 2005

Frank Shaffer has no time for old white people with little education and even less literacy. He's talking about you, chux, klueless and sputs.

[sparkys]

There was a video up about that exorcism ceremony. Kind of lame...nothing like the movie..lol.

She didn't do so well with her inaugural show on Fox..the ratings meter showed people leaving the broadcast as the hour wore on.

[chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)]

Palins new show was a little boring, even for me. Her rating were a little soft, but she still had the forth highest cable news show doing better than doubling Maddow and Olbermann and quadrupling Ed Shulz and Chris Matthews. Also doing similar damage to CNN's Larry King, Campbell Brown, Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer.
She has no reason to be ashamed.

[Dave]

When is Dr. Bill going to pass away on the air so we don't have to hear his old man hacking, coughing, sputtering, throat clearing and confusion any longer?

[KS]

Maybe after you do...

[sparky]

chucks..how many times do we have to explain to you...msnbc is not carried on basic cable. You have to pay extra to get it. Fox news is available to everyone who has basic cable. Most people in this country don't have the choice of watching Rachel to compare her with Palin because they can't afford the premium packages to get MSNBC. When you don't have a horse in the race you can't compete.

[I bought an RV from chucks and it was a lemon]

Explaining anything to Chucks is like a woodpecker trying to drill a hole in a concrete lamp post.

[Coiler]

was it a winneairstream with a 4 banger?

[chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)]

Hey Sparky, Fox News is in 98.04 million homes. MSDNC is in 93 million homes.
If the other 5 1/2% of homes had MSNBC as well as FNC, 75% of those people would not be watching MSNBC. Three out of four who have the choice chose Fox.
(Nielson cable news coverage estimates as of Dec, 2009)

[Coiler]

2 million out of 98 million is not a lot, what are the other 96 million doing?

[sparky]

"MSNBC delivers breaking news and in-depth coverage to 78 million households on cable 24 hours a day and up to 20 million unique users a month on the Internet."

..http://www.nbc.com/

Drive eaat of the Cascades and try to find a motel that carries MSNBC!

[chuck says joanie is a liar. (because she lies)]

Watching the other 300 to 500 channels on their system I suppose Coiler.
I suspect the other 15 million subscribers lock out MSNBC.
None of these numbers reflect motels, hotels, airports or other businesses Sparky. They are all households.
Maybe the difference between 78 million HH's now and 93 million HH's in December reflect the number of people that have canceled MSDNC since Christmas because it sux..
