Angle campaign responds to video of candidate and Asian remarks: Reid playing racial politics

Elsewhere on the blog is video of GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle saying she thinks some Hispanic students look Asian. here's her spokesman Jarrod Agen's reponse:

"This is a low blow from Harry Reid. Sharron is making the point that this country is a melting pot and you cannot judge people based on stereotypes or the way they look. When she was in the legislature, a reporter mistakenly referred to Sharron as being of Asian decent. Again, making the point to the students that you can't judge people based on first glance.

"Harry Reid on the other hand says that Hispanics should not get to choose which party they are in. He doesn't think Hispanics should be allowed to be Republicans. Harry is desperate, he's losing, and he's trying to play racial politics."

  1. Angle's spokesman is as dishonest as she is. Reid had nothing to do with exposing Angle's latest foot-in-mouth epidode.

    Incredible that whenever Sharrrron utters one of her incoherent, idiotic remarks, Harry Reid is blamed somehow.

    Wake up folks. Ignore the Karl Rove propaganda so that America doesn't return to the days when Rove ran Washington.

  2. Anyone that embraces the Tea Party (Angle) Agenda would return U.S. politics back to the early 1930's!!!
    No Working Person should subscribe to their NONSENSE!!!

  3. "It's Harry Reid's fault!"

    Yes, I am sure Harry MADE her do it. It's ALL part of Harry Reid's diabolical plan to RUIN AMERICA!

    Yes, Harry Reid is "racist" because Sharron Angle said something inappropriate (NO!) and people took exception to it, a reporter picked up on the story, and now IT'S THAT DAMNED Harry Reid's fault!"

    THIS is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE of the latest Neo-Nut Strategy;
    "Whatever dumb thing you/we say or do, TURN IT AROUND on the DEMOCRATS, and BLAME THEM for it!"
    Sadly, in many cases, it seems to be a winning strategy.

    Truly, completely, CONFOUNDING!!!

  4. Poor johns76222, you're one sad sucker, if you are supporting this crazy idiot, you can just leave it at that. Don't try to convince those with brains that Sharron Angle will help this state by. . .?

    Tell me what she'll help again poor johns76222?

    Will she lower the size of government?

    If so could you specifically tell me the programs that are going to be cut! If you can't than keep the trap shut or the computer off.

    We see the racism seeping through the screen with each further post. Democrats are the party of hate? and race pimps?

    Wow, you are a special brand of racist. One in the Glen Beck moniker, "If you project YOUR racism, then THEY are the racists, WOW?

    Minorities overwhelmingly vote what now?
    DEMOCRATIC, because racists know where to go, a tea-gagger rally where racists can get together blaming the problems of this over 200 year old country on the "black socialist marxist" etc. president in office for 21 months.

    When can you fix 8-year problem in 21-months? Show me please, oh yeah you can't, but your racism isn't going away, actually it festers and builds up until you get off your lawn chair at a gagger rally and yell and then go vote.

    A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Angle with 50% to Reid's 47%.

    Are you kidding me, RASMUSSEN is heavily GOP bias. If the election isn't exactly like that come Nov 3rd johns76222 Mike Johns will you come here and say congratulations to Harry Reid, and sorry for believing GOP polls, we just are real mad we can't convince others to vote like us.

    No you won't you won't be found if Harry wins, you'll tell us how accidental it was, or how stupid the electorate is. Harry Reid will win, and if he loses I will still be here asking Sharron supporters to not primary her in 6 years, cuz she's going to show ya crazy for real if she's elected.

  5. Just another example to back up the irrefutable fact that Sharron Angle's campaign motto is...

    "That's not what I said...."

    Come on, election day. We need to send this woman back where she came from. So she can continue to pursue building up a resume to become a political commentator for Fox News or something.

  6. It just may be that if Sharron Angle wins it may be time to consider invoking our 2nd amendment rights.
