Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman lashed out at rival Jerry Brown on Thursday, accusing the Democrat and his labor allies of spreading lies among Latinos about her position on immigration as her poll numbers have plummeted among that key sector of the electorate.

"It makes me mad that he's just out there telling lies," Whitman said after touring a small Latino-owned Los Angeles business that imports and manufactures decorative metal pieces for homes. "He accuses me of not being truthful. He is the one just not telling the truth on this, and it makes me mad and I'm not going to let it stand."

She accused Brown and unions of running inaccurate ads and distributing mailers that say that she supported Arizona's recent crackdown on illegal immigrants and Proposition 187, the 1994 California ballot measure intended to deny undocumented residents taxpayer-funded services. Whitman has consistently said she was against both measures, a stance that cost her support in the GOP primary campaign.

But the arguments advanced in ads and mailers are grounded in shards of truth: While she said she opposed a law such as Arizona's for California, she said states have the right to make such decisions.

10. The Gestalt of a CEO: Whitman Priorities & Methods would be no different than those of Tony Hayward.

Read about Hayward's "CEO behavior" during the Gulf Oil Spill Disaster here:
86. I'm guessing that relentless, defiant toxic-Corexit-user CEO T. Hayward is stalling for a hurricane"

I can only imagine how "anger" in CEO Meg Whitman might express itself in public (and against the public interest).

She can get out of politics and visit Tony 'I want My Life Back' Hayward at his mansion...or she can go to ^%&#^(*&%.

11. Shards of truth my ass!

"But the arguments advanced in ads and mailers are grounded in shards of truth: While she said she opposed a law such as Arizona's for California, she said states have the right to make such decisions."

Her stance on immigration has flip flopped according to her audience. She is the liar. She said that she did not think Arizona's law would work in California because of the size of California, not that she was against the law. She said the law is good for Arizona. She also said during the primaries that she opposed any type of recognition for undocumented people even when they have a record of contribution to the society. She says she opposed proposition 187 but how do we know? She wasn't here and she wasn't even voting, plus, Pete freakin Wilson is on her campaign staff and he is the ass that pushed that piece of crap law. There is a reason why Latinos call him "Pinche Pete"

12. She lies every chance she gets. Accusing Mr. Brown is only projection on her part.

She's just angry that the public knows she can't get her lies straight.

13. Meltdown! Meltdown!

I hope she becomes a total mess this week! Hey Meg! Self-pity is the best kind 'cause you know it's sincere!

14. Now Meg, don't let a demonstrably better candidate

sink your spirits. You just sit down this minute and write your own campaign a check for another 20 million or so and you'll feel a whole lot better.
