Once upon a time, Sharrrrrrrron Angle ran a racist ad. YouTube has pulled it for copyright violation, which means Angle stole images used in it:
But needless to say, it used imagery like this, and had grainy "night vision" video of Latinos furtively running around a fence.
Asked to account for her racist fear-mongering ad by a group of Latino students, Angle is suddenly on the defensive. First, she said people were stupid to assume it was the Mexican border.
I’m not sure that those are Latinos in that commercial. What it is, is a fence and there are people coming across that fence. What we know is that our northern border is where the terrorists came through. That’s the most porous border that we have. We cannot allow terrorists; we cannot allow anyone to come across our border if we don’t know why they’re coming. So we have to secure all of our borders and that’s what that was about, is border security. Not just our southern border, but our coastal border and our northern border.
So Angle wants to build a fence on our northern border with Canada to keep out dark skinned Cannucks? Or maybe it's Asians she's really afraid of:
So that’s what we want is a secure and sovereign nation and, you know, I don’t know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me. I don’t know that. [Note: it's the Hispanic Student Union. The whole room is Hispanic teenagers.] What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country. My grandchildren are evidence of that. I’m evidence of that. I’ve been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly.
Nevada political journalism legend Jon Ralson replies:
That last comment, about her being called the first Asian legislator? I have no idea what she is talking about.
So to recap, Angle is afraid of Asians coming across the Canadian border with the United States and wants to build a wall to keep them out. Or something. And, oh yeah, it was all Harry Reid's fault.
This is a low blow from Harry Reid.
As if Reid was sitting in that room with the Hispanic Student Union making her be stupid.
