I am officially convinced that Sharron Angle is mentally ill

[Tony_FLADEM]

That comment regarding that illegal immigration ad being about Mexicans coming from Canada into Nevada did it for me. :wtf:

[nadinbrzezinski]

1. Sadly I knew what she was talking about

I am too much of a geek... but she is confused as to the facts.

[underpants]

2. Illegal .. Mexico... Canada

granted Canada makes ia soft finish that gives her cover (I guess) but she is just saying what the media wants to tell people to keep saying

[saltpoint]

3. Fear not. Sharron will herself lead a brave team of

mounted vigilantes across the Great Plains up to the Canadian Border, with herself on her very white steed Xenophobia.

Billions of Mexicans are pouring into Nevada from Canada as we speak, beheading innocent citizens as they shove southward!

Run for your lives, everyone!

[Contrary1]

17. Are you sure they're Mexicans?

After all, Asians and Mexicans look alike.

:sarcasm:

"I don't know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me."

[saltpoint]

18. Good point. Their birth certificates will HAVE to checked!

[Canuckistanian]

4. We don't even HAVE that many Mexicans in Canada

Sure there are SOME, but they have a better life here than in the U.S.

At least there's our health care system and a lack of politicians constantly attacking them. If I were Mexican, why would I go where I wasn't wanted?

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. That is a very complex question

but last time I answered a complex question the thread got locked...

Suffice to say... historic ties.

[Canuckistanian]

8. OK

If you say so.

:hi:

[WingDinger]

16. Thats right. Spoonfed psuedoreality is more PC. Even now on the left.

[stevedeshazer]

5. Soo...terrorists are coming to Nevada from Oregon and Idaho?

Yeah, I think she meant Canada, but who the hell knows?

[mopinko]

7. please do not use mental illness as a synonym for the likes

of sharron angle. she may indeed have some trouble with voices in her head, or whatever. but most mentally ill people are like most people. they are not necessarily liars or oblivious to reality. many are good du'ers, in fact. this is unfortunate rhetoric.

[Tony_FLADEM]

9. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to offend anyone. It's just my way of saying Sharron Angle has problems.

[DefenseLawyer]

10. This is just quintessential DU

Listen concerned person, speaking only for myself, I bear no ill-will toward the mentally ill, but that doesn't mean I want them to run the country.

[saltpoint]

13. I didn't sense an attack on the mentally ill by the OP but

do strongly perceive an attack on democracy by Sharron Angle. An all-points assault with a heavy dose of racism as well.

I certainly agree that most mentally ill people are like most people but almost no one in either demographic is behaving like Sharron Angle and her apparently very wealthy backers. The Bagger candidates are operating on the fringe of acceptable discourse in this election.

If I call John McCain a "crazy jerk," I'm not making a specific DSM-IV reference. I'm just calling him a "crazy jerk."

[Angry Dragon]

11. Need a good fence around Nevada like the East Germans had

miller will be down shortly to help her build it

[UTUSN]

12. K&R #11 for, I can only BWAH-HAH!1 n/t

[Manifestor_of_Light]

14. Anybody else remember Michael Moore sneaking into the US with Canadians?

That was in one of his movies. I think it was in Bowling for Columbine.

[Lucy Goosey]

15. For me, it was telling the Latino students that some of them looked Asian...

...WTF??

I was honestly starting to wonder if she's in the early stages of dementia, or maybe just has a really low IQ or something.
