Brawl erupts between Reid, Angle supporters at forum.
Interesting times.
Angle talks trash about the GOP:
Sharron Angle caught on tape with the upstart (and perhaps unsane) Tea Party wannabe Scott Ashjian, describing why he should throw in the towel and throw his support her way. I guess she was trying to portray herself as the real outsider, even tho she’s flying the Republican flag. [
Jeez, that’s almost the only quote of hers that I’ve heard that ISN’T insane. Reid probably says the same thing a dozen times a day.
This whole thing is so ludicrous and bizarre, it may take until the debate for all the fallout to hit the ground.
[
Syd James, the former Teabagger, has announced his support for Angle’s candidacy. Oh, and he’s real butthurt, too.
When told about the situation, Washington insiders played it off as not a big deal, but their words tell me that they are apparently unaware of what Mrs. Angle is all about:
One can only assume that Ms. Burnett is unaware of Sharron Angle’s past voting record in the Nevada state legislature, or her commitment to adhere to those same standards should she win the US Senate election.
To be fair, it seems that an Angle supporter was being an ass, and it was him that threw the first couple of punches. The LV Sun ran a whole page of pictures, but I can’t find them on their website.
I did find tho, that Sharron Angle has her own take on it:
[
There’s an audio clip on that site, too, if you want to hear her say it for yourself.
That’s right, she now blames the fight on a long-dead politico and a desire to “cover-up” what really happened at the “debate” (where only 1 side was actually there).
To his credit, the host sort of tries to correct her, noting that published accounts tell of the man throwing 2 punches first.
But since when do logic, facts, evidence or even reality interfere with what Mrs. Angle (and others of her ilk) “just knows” is right?
Saul Alinsky? Wait until she gets her hands on a copy of Steal This Book.
She went on to explain further:
Wow! which US cities have been taken over by Muslim terrorists?
No one is sure where she pulled Frankford, TX out of, but Dearborn does have a thriving Muslim community (and lots of good restaurants as a result).
This lady is seriously misinformed and delusional. I can’t wait for her to be our next Senator from Nevada!
Anyway, she says some other crazy shit in the article, but if I quoted it all, what would the next person have to make fun of?
In fairness (to her), this quote was the questioner, and not Angle.
Also in fairness (to you), her response to the planted question (What? She pulled Dearborn and Frankford (Frankford, Texas? WTF?) our of her ass? I doubt it.) was as un-American as she could get.
My bad. I was just in such a frenzy to get relevant stuff into my post, I screwed that one up. Good catch and thanks for pointing it out.
I missed my own edit window, then hit Cancel and so I’m typing all this for a second time.
Angle is already on record as having said she doesn’t want to deal with any “unfriendly” media. As a result, you can rest assured that any public appearance she has made has been carefully controlled theatre.
She’s on record as saying she only will talk to media already sympathetic to her views, so that she can “control the message” the media puts out. That means that she’s not going to be asked anything that she isn’t already (supposedly) prepared to answer.
The fact that her (prepared) answers are so banal, so xenophobic, so limited in their grasp of reality just makes them all the more entertaining to read, in a horrible schadenfreude kind of way.
I dunno, the fact that she still has a pretty good chance of winning makes her much less enjoyable to watch than someone like O’Donnell.
Nevada GOP bigshot Bill Raggio just endorsed Reid. http://www.rgj.com/article/20101007/NEWS/101007041/1321/NEWS/Republican-leader-Raggio-backs-Harry-Reid--reluctantly
He doesn’t seem like a fan of Reid, so some of his remarks on Angle’s competency are telling.
It turns out that Frankford, Texas doesn’t even exist, at least not anymore. It seems that it was annexed into Dallas… back in 1975! 35 years ago!
Oh sweet Jesus! The Muslims have got time machines and have retroactively wiped Frankford off the map! Is no one safe from these monsters?
The fact that Dearborn has an Irish-Catholic mayor, Polish-Catholic council president, three honkey-protestant judges and at most one Muslim on the city council, it’s amazing that Sharia law was able to be successfully implemented.
And now I must go look up to see what Sharia law is, as apparently my town is now under the control of it.
The first law of Sharia Law is… you guessed it…that you don’t talk about Sharia Law.
Don’t bother. It means that, starting tomorrow, you have to go to work wearing nothing but a jockstrap and sunglasses. Oh, and I’m in charge of collecting your, um, tithes.
I live in Dearborn and I apparently have missed it. I wonder is a guy on a camel will pull me over for running a stop sign?
