“I think that you're misinterpreting those commercials,” Angle told the students on Friday. “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,” she said. “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.”

Then later:

ut on Monday morning, the Las Vegas Sun’s John Ralston pulled another nugget from the meeting — Angle said that some of the members of the Hispanic Student Union looked like they might be Asian.

“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,” Angle said, according to video posted by the Nevada paper. “What we know, what we know about ourselves is that we are a melting pot in this country.”

Angle then claimed that she too has been confused as a different ethnicity, seemingly in an attempt to illustrate her melting pot point.

“I’ve been called the first Asian legislator in our Nevada State Assembly,” Angle said.

I can't find the ad I was thinking of, so maybe that one was someone else? But the one linked in thread gets the point anyway.
here's the illinois judge ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxnL8...eature=related

They claim he sided with child molestors and murderers. He's explained that these were all procedural cases. He's not a trial judge but an IL Supreme Court judge.

Inflammatory, you bet.

Not defending Angle in any way, but my husband has actually mistaken an Asian for a Hispanic before. They do have similar features in some cases.

And if your Mexican husband has done it then that just proves it all.

I believe she was speaking to a college's Hispanic/Latin@ student association, though I could be wrong. So it was a particularly dumb statement.

But she's a freaking moron, so that's to be expected.

Yes, she was speaking to the Hispanic Student Union.

All members of (insert race and ethnicity) Student Unions do not have to be of that particular race and ethnicity. However, whether they are Hispanic or not wasn't the topic that she was supposed to be discussing. LOL. Basically saying "are all of you Hispanic? Some Asians and Hispanics look similar. I get called Asian sometimes" was the most random thing ever. It not only screams idiot but it also screams "white person desperately searching for a way to converse with and relate to racial and ethnic minorities."

And try to escape the obvious placement of Hispanics as illegal immigrants in her ads when actually in front of people from the same ethnic group.

Funny how the backpedaling starts.

You mean, those weren't Asians in that commercial? They all look alike so who can blame Angle for being confused.

I wonder if Brady's Lt. Governor running mate has a stutter. If that's the case, I might vote Brady just because of the assholishness of Quinn be an adult and pick on a guy with a stutter.

Don't think so, I just think they caught him unable to put the thought together.

Hey, Angle gets called Asian-American too, so you know, anyone could be a Secret Asian.

*hums* Secret ASIAN man, Secret ASIAN man, they've given you a number...

Right? Asians? The only border fence I know of is on the U.S./Mexican border and 99% of the people crossing it actually are of Hispanic origin. The fact that she is running the ad then pretending to be ignorant of its meaning just to pander to a particular crowd shows lack of creditability.

I don't know what's funnier, Sharon Angles craziness or the fact that she's giving Reid the stiffest competition he's had in years. Imagine if a sane, competent person was running against him... He wouldn't have a chance in hell.

It's probably more ironic that he's going to (i think) survive the election because of the crazy. When running a sane candidate against him would have resulted in a loss. But noooooo had to go all Tea Party, didn't you Nevada?

Pretty much everyone assumed he was going to get booted for low popularity and .. why hellllo Sharron Angle.

She's an idiot. Another example of why people should not think out loud. Formulate your thoughts and then make a statement.
