Sharron Angle denies race-baiting charges
Source: Salon

Senatorial hopeful claims that her TV spots which feature ominous-looking immigrants, are color blind

U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle says a series of anti-illegal immigrant ads linking rival Sen. Harry Reid to images of sullen, dark-skinned men and a map of Mexico are not anti-Hispanic.


A video obtained by The Associated Press shows Angle defending the ads to Hispanic students Friday in Las Vegas.

She said she is "not sure" the advertisements feature Hispanics and assured them that the TV spots are about border security.

3. Her use of the picture violates copyright protections
Chris Floyd took the picture in Mexico and Getty Publications owns the copyright.

If Getty doesn't sue, Floyd plans to.

5. Love The Corporate Media Spin That Latinos Are Blaming Republican Race Baiting On Democrats
I think CNN is running a story celebrating conservative latinos who bash immigrants.

8. Help
I know that 99 percent of those reading these words will vote this election, so encouraging you to vote would be useless. We could really make a difference though if we all take one other person to vote with us.PLEASE. Just make sure that one other sane person votes, and not just your spouse, we could make a difference.

10.  The republican party appeal to all bigots
The hatred of Muslims,Mexicans,Asians,Blacks any person of color is their enemy.The party of hate have bribed some of the black citizens into voting for them,it's funny but money can cause some people to abandon their safety for money.I find the black conservatives to be the worst of the worst,they will say or do anything to please their masters,they are the house( N word) of the 21st century.
