Angle dodges question about armed revolution
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/06/angle_dodges_question_about_ar.html

For the first time, Sharron Angle has permitted herself to be directly questioned about her suggestions -- first reported on this blog -- of impending armed revolution. And she basically dodged.

From an interview with the Las Vegas Review Journal:

"In fact, Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years," Angle said in January in an interview with conservative talk show host Lars Larson. "I hope that's not where we're going. But, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies."

Asked Thursday whether she was calling for an armed revolution or a political revolution at the ballot box, Angle paused and shook her head as if the question were ridiculous.

"I can't believe people are even asking that," Angle said in the brief interview. "I'm very much a proponent of the Second Amendment and the Constitution. But what we have to focus on here is a movement, a movement that's about retiring Harry Reid" by voting him out of office."

That's not an answer. Ms. Angle, what did you mean when you said that people are "looking towards those Second Amendment remedies"?
