Now that Sharron Angle realizes that as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, she is "being held accountable for every idle word," the last thing she wants is for voters in Nevada to become familiar with the many, many idle words she spewed as the extremist darling of the tea party. But as she soon found out, scrubbing her website didn't mean her opponent wasn't going remind the voters of her far right-wing past, so now Angle is threatening to take Harry Reid (D-NV) to court:
Now that the Harry Reid campaign has reposted Sharron Angle's previous campaign Web site advertising her Tea Partying positions, Angle may be heading to court to stop him. [...]
"Well your website is like you, it's your intellectual property," Angle said. "So they can't use something that's yours, intellectual property, unless they pay you for it or get your permission... And he didn't ask me for it, and he didn't pay me for it. I would have sold it to him."
Angle was asked: "So the latest is that it is up again, and you are just going to have to see as far as pursing this in court? Is that the plan?"
"Well we are going to pursue it," Angle replied. "I don't think that Harry is above the law. He needs to obey the law if you and I need to obey the law. Harry isn't immune. He needs to obey the law as well."
Now picture thousands of low-information voters in Nevada thinking to themselves, "She's suing him over her old website? I think I'll go check it out." Great strategy ... for Harry Reid.
