New Reid ad: Sharron Angle is a dangerous maniac

Okay, that headline is an exaggeration, but not much of one. Harry Reid's latest ad strings together a host of Angle-isms to paint her as, well, a dangerous psychopath:

What's interesting is that even though Angle did say all these things, and even though Reid has widely disseminated her comments throughout the state, the race is still very close. It's a measure of how stiff a headwind Reid faces.

It's routinely pointed out that Reid's reelection chances turn on whether he can render Angle an unacceptable alternative. But the rubs is that given how disliked Reid and the Obama agenda are in Nevada, he needs to render her really, truly, horrifyingly unacceptable. If the stuff Angle has already said isn't enough to do that, it's hard to imagine what it would take.

1. what Harry Reid doesn't understand

is that that's Angle's appeal. That's what the Tea Partiers seem to be demanding. Angle might as well embrace the "Dangerours Maniac" label, maybe even use it as a campaign slogan.

2. Right, if tea baggers called their party the Sociopath Party they would love it.

Of course most of them are so stupid they wouldn't even know what that word meant.

5. Sounds too much like Sociolist

Probably would think it's people on the path to Sociolistism. :crazy:

3. You have a point...

...and the right candidate could embrace the "Dangerous Maniac" label and make it work.

Thankfully, Sharon Angle is not that candidate. She is not smart enough nor does she have the flair required to make something like that work. Instead, she runs away from reporters and brings in Washington handlers to help her hide her real agenda.

Much as Harry has disappointed me in the Senate, I fervently hope he pulls this out against Angle, who is a real horror show. She thinks the 14+% unemployed people in Nevada are not taking "real, honest jobs" because they are lolling around as a result of the unemployment largesse they are receiving.

She is a lunatic.
