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.
