The source is Beck. If the OP used a legitimate, unbiased source, then there could be an honest discussion.
There is no "honest" discussion to be had with someone who declares Bush to be a fascist and says the Tea Party wants to turn America into a Nazi Germany utopia. The very idea of someone saying that and then deriding someone else for not being legitimate and unbiased is absurd.

When someone uses radical sites like the blaze, all credibility is lost.
I doubt you'd consider any site that didn't declare Republicans to be homicidal maniacs to have credibility.
Who cares about the beck video, I noticed both of you had zero to say about what reid said, why was that? Talk about parroting....
The sequester has not even started, not until April 27th. But yet we have bob and temp falling in lock step with the ignorant left to say that what happened to these Marines was because of the sequester.
Thanks for keeping up the leftist show of support for reid and not the Soldier (any Soldier).
I did actually listen to what Reid said in the video as opposed to what Beck said he said. Reid never stated nor implied the training explosion was in any way due to sequester. He expressed his concern and sympathies for those who lost loved ones. He then proceeded to state that the (Repub) sequester(different subject) would impeded the training efforts of our military. But hey, that's just me. I tend to understand the English Language.

“One of the things in sequester is we cut back in training and maintenance. That’s the way sequester was written,” the Nevada senator said. “It’s just not appropriate, Mr. President, that our military can’t train and do the maintenance necessary. These men and women were Marines who were training there in Hawthorne, and with the sequester, it’s going to cut this stuff back.”
You must have a different English language than me. Here are his words above....
I guess Marine Col. Chris Huges also does not use your English Language:
Quote:
UPDATE 9:46 p.m.: In response to Reid’s comments, Col. Chris Hughes, deputy director of U.S. Marine Corps Public Affairs, said in a statement, “The comments are unsubstantiated and certainly do not reflect the Marine Corps’ position on this matter.”
But continue the support of people who want to use dead Marines for polotical purposes.

And just where does Reid say the sequester resulted in this training exercise explosion? Answer is, it doesn't. Reid was talking about what implications sequester will have on future training, that is very clear. Now you obviously want to believe otherwise, but that want doesn't make it so.

So, tell me how me and this Marine come to the same conculsion (and many others), and yet we are wrong and you are right.

Harry Reid Commemorates Dead Marines, Calls for End to Sequester
That's the headline on ABC news website.
His clear intent was to connect the two.
At least be intellectually honest enough to admit that.
And the Pentagon doesn't agree with World Nutz The Blaze and News Max.
A senior Pentagon official adds: "Reid didn't directly tie sequestration and the tragedy at Hawthorne. He made a general point about how training and readiness will suffer if sequestration isn't lifted."
