Hope She Wins

LAS VEGAS – U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle told a crowd of supporters that the country needs to address a "militant terrorist situation" that has allowed Islamic religious law to take hold in some American cities.

Her comments came at a rally of tea party supporters in the Nevada resort town of Mesquite last week after the candidate was asked about Muslims angling to take over the country, and marked the latest of several controversial remarks by the Nevada Republican.

In a recording of the rally provided to The Associated Press by the Mesquite Local News, a man is heard asking Angle : "I keep hearing about Muslims wanting to take over the United States ... on a TV program just last night, I saw that they are taking over a city in Michigan and the residents of the city, they want them out. They want them out. So, I want to hear your thoughts about that."

Angle responds that "we're talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe it isn't a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it."

"My thoughts are these, first of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas are on American soil, and under constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don't know how that happened in the United States," she said. "It seems to me there is something fundamentally wrong with allowing a foreign system of law to even take hold in any municipality or government situation in our United States."

She is challenging Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, for his Senate seat. There is a good chance she will win.

Nowhere in the article does the "reporter" point out there there is not a single place in the United States that "sharia law" apply. Not a single one.. but when your entire world view is framed around fear, that's what you get.

Lying.. vapid.. ignorant.. jackasses..

.... that I hope win their elections and bring some real fuckin' crazy to the US Congress.

Of course, I have to glance at the "comments" to the story.. because the people that troll them are even nuttier than the teabagging candidates. This one was decent;

Can you liberals please just go get your food stamps, buy your drugs and stay out of politics? PLEASE?

heh
