Angle Sends Cease-And-Desist To Reid -- For Reposting Her Own Website
Sharron Angle's campaign...rightly horrified by the wacky beliefs of their candidate for the U.S. Senate...reworked her website to make it more presentable.
The Harry Reid campaign though has mirrored the original site, posted it online, and humor ensued.

The short version of the story is as follows: After the former state Rep won Nevada's Republican Senate primary, Angle's campaign took down most of its website, and later replaced it with a relaunched version that in some ways toned down her right-wing rhetoric. But Internet pages are rarely ever forgotten -- the Reid campaign saved the old version, and put up a website called "The Real Sharron Angle," reproducing the old content.
Here is the actual cease and desist letter.
The Reid campaign removed the site but put up another one detailing other views of Sharron Angle. I do hope that the voters look at the bigger issue here...Sharron Angle wants to hide her own views and seeks to present a more cleaned-up professional version.
She has done the same thing on Facebook.
Here is a Google Cache of one of her notes concerning Second Chance prison drug program that is a front group for scientology (and which sends a portion of its funding to scientology for "authorized use of its tech". This note really shows Sharron Angle is not very good in the research Dept and would be easy to manipulate (6:29).
She also fails to mention it was her fellow Republican nominee that made the over the top commercial with inmates getting massages, not Harry Reid.
And the Facebook Note is easily refuted regarding her claims that she was merely exploring the program and not promoting it.
It also shows that when she messes up, her solution is to hide the evidence. I see no proof she actually tries to correct her mistakes.
/as a note, I am not the biggest fan of Harry Reid and would prefer a more progressive (and aggressive) Majority leader, but Sharron Angle needs to be kept from national office at all costs.
