A Reporter Said She Looked Asian
by digby
Let's face it --- she's a racist fundamentalist and a moron. There's really nothing more to be said. If she wins it's because a majority of Nevadans would rather be represented by a racist, fundamentalist moron than Harry Reid:
"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."
That last comment, about her being called the first Asian legislator? I have no idea what she is talking about
UPDATE: The Angle campaign says she made that remark about being the first Asian legislator because "a reporter thought she looked Asian." OK.
Seriously, this woman shouldn't be allowed to drive much less be allowed to serve in the US Senate.
Keep in mind that besides the total idiocy of the comment itself, at the same event she claimed that her racist ad didn't necessarily feature Latinos:
Angle: I think that you’re misinterpreting those commercials. 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 maybe she was talking about Chinese Commies or Malaysian terrorists coming over the border from Canada? Either way you look at it, whether she can tell the difference or not, she's very, very worried about the non-white hordes taking over America.
