Sharron Angle Spokeswoman Blasts 'Propaganda' Immigration Ad Released By Her Own Candidate (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 09/29/10 12:30 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 06:50 PM ET

Sharron Angle Immigration Ad

Tibi Ellis, chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Hispanic Caucus and Sharron Angle spokeswoman, recently aired a personal beef she had with an anti-illegal immigration ad released by the GOP Senate candidate earlier this month.

The ad at issue was a contested attack against Sen. Harry Reid that called the Senate Majority Leader "the best friend an illegal alien ever had," due to his opposition to Arizona's tough new immigration law. The spot also appeared to connect illegal immigration to Nevada's skyrocketing unemployment and concerns over the personal safety of Nevadans.

Ellis voiced her opposition to the commercial over the radio on Monday.

"I condemned this type of propaganda, no matter who is running them, where they blame Mexicans as the only problem and where they attack them as the only source of illegal immigration," Ellis told 1060 AM host Edwin Saldarriaga. "I don't agree with that."

The Las Vegas Sun reports:

Ellis stressed to Saldarriaga that she was not representing Angle during the interview. Ellis, however, has served as a spokeswoman for Angle, according to an interview she gave to Texas GOP Vote, in which she recounted a campaign trip she took with Angle to Denton, Texas.

Reid's campaign responded to the apparent internal turmoil in Angle's campaign, telling the Las Vegas Sun:

"Sharron Angle's extreme hostility toward Hispanic Nevadans is so blatant and so striking that not even her own campaign surrogates can avoid denouncing her shameless efforts to play on voters' worst fears with her thoroughly-debunked lies about immigration."

The Economy is not in the hands of the President alone; we need the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Congress to act; the biggest danger we are facing is the Tea Party, a movement that suppose to be about fiscal responsibility has emerged as an obstructionist force against Democrats and true Republicans; instead of resourcing on economists to move a fiscal responsibility agenda the Tea Party is based on racism, hooliganism and predatorily politics we need to stop them on November.

We can live with smart Republicans in power but we can not allow Christine O’Donnell, Sharron Angle, Rand Paul, Joe Miller, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Jim DeMint, Ken Buck, Pat Toomey, Tom Emmer, Nikki Haley, Dino Rossi, Marco Rubio or Sharron Angle take a seat in the Senate. The Tea Party does not necessarily stands by Republican or as a matter of fact American values.

Bullies like to pick fights with those who can't defend themselves. The REAL problems in the country, the BIG problems, are caused by rich mostly white Americans. Why not go after them with the same vigor? Oh, that's right, they can and will fight back.

Sharon has called unemployed Americans lazy and says there are thousands of jobs that they won't take because they are beneath them. She has hinted that these jobs are the ones held by undocumented Mexican workers and the unemployed should go work for below minimum wage, without benefits or safety regulations. She protects the illegal employers who exploit the undocumented and would have American citizens put under the same cruel circumstances. She is an openly racist bigot, castigates the poor, blames the destitute for our problems, and claims God is guiding her. What God I am not sure.
And yet the Tea Party here in Nevada continue to support this evil woman. Birds of a feather flock together.

I can't take credit for writing this but...
Did you know that the words "race car" spelled backwards still spell race car?

And that "eat" is the only word that, if you take the 1st letter and move it to the last, spells its past tense -- ate.

And if you rearrange the letters in "Tea Party Republicans", and add just a few more letters, it spells: "Shut-up, you free-loading, progress-blocking, benefit-grabbing, homophobic, resource-sucking, racist, hypocritical jerks, and face the fact that you nearly capsized the country under Bush."

How weird is that? :-)

------How is it possible that senate majority leader Harry Reid,,,one of the most powerful career politicians in Washington,,,,be locked in a dead heat battle with unknown school teacher Sharron Angle?

The Review Journal paper in Nevada reports Reid is now spending $250,000 a week on TV ads and is still losing ground !

Voters in Nevada are not fooled......Reid voted for TARP,,the failed $787,000,000,000 stimulus bill which produced zero jobs,,,promoted and voted for Obamacare  (McDonalds Restaurants announced today Obamacare will force 30,000 of their employees to LOSE health insurance__,,,sided with the president of Mexico to ridicule Arizona's immigration law,,,,openly supports amnesty for illegals,,,and voted to raid the Social Security Trust leaving it broke and holding worthless IOU's !

Time to go Harry,,,,and take Nancy with you!

I have noticed a pattern with these Tea Party candidates. They will not defend their positions in neutral media. They only consent to right leaning media interviews. Even then, if asked an un-comfortable question, they don't reply, instead they spew talking points. Are we so niave as to elect people who will not stand up for what they believe? Are we going to pick our leaders from the shallow end of the gene pool? I hope not.

This woman is a dangerous, irreligious, racist fool. She cannot name 5 of the 10 commandments, she knows only the hatefilled verses of the Good Book and can't keep those straight. When confronted with video/audio of her past lunacy, she denied THE VIDEO SHOWING HER VOICE AND IMAGE! This is the new normal for republicans; total, all out lies and no shame when confronted with it. The right wing media thinks they have won, but moderates and independents know they have lost any decency.
