Public banned from Reid-Angle debate due to Tea Party Violence

Last week at a town hall/non-debate debate event between Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) and candidate Sharron Angle (R-NV), a fight broke out near the end of the event with audience members.

A Sharron Angle supporter punched one woman in the face and pushed another over some chairs.

Now, thanks to Sharron Angle and her Tea Party supporter, the public will be banned from the October 14, 2010 debate between Reid and Angle, the only planned debate between the two.

The Nevada Broadcasters Association’s President Bob Fisher told the candidates that they can only invite twelve guests each, and each must submit a guest list in advance.

I can already see the list for Angle, eleven DC handlers and one get away driver.

Reid, his list will have family and advisers and also one get away driver..

Last weeks event was not a debate, and the fact that Angle has backed out of a proposed second debate on Face to Face with Jon Ralston, which she herself asked for, the debate on October 14th, with the Nevada Broadcasters Association will be the only debate between the two candidates, and now the public is barred, all because of the Tea Party violence.

Sharron Angle after the fight last week was quick to blame the victim as the cause of the fight, Angle is all about placing blame on the victims, like those with autism, or the unemployed.

Could it be that Sharron Angle had a man punch a woman in the face, so that audiences could be banned from future debates?

"Sharron Angle after the fight last week was quick to blame the victim as the cause of the fight, Angle is all about placing blame on the victims, like those with autism, or the unemployed."

Do you have specific statements to support this conjecture of yours? I think that that would be interesting to read.

In the video(included in link), released by the Nevada Democratic Party, Angle slams a recently passed Nevada mandate for insurance carriers to cover treatment for autism.

"Take off the mandates for coverage in the state of Nevada and all over the United States," Angle said. "But here you know what I'm talking about. You're paying for things you don't even need. They just passed the latest one, is everything that they want to throw at us now is covered under autism," she said, using her fingers to make quotes in the air while she said the word ‘autism.'

RALSTON: How would you have voted on that bill to extend unemployment benefits?


ANGLE: I would have voted no, because the truth about it is that they keep extending these unemployment benefits to the point where people are afraid to go out and get a job because the job doesn't pay as much as the unemployment benefit does. And what we really need to do is put people back to work. So if you want to ease people back into work, what we need is an unemployment benefit that pays part. You know, you go to work, you have something of a safety net, in unemployment. But just to give them full unemployment benefits and then extend those for two years or more gets them not only out of the working class but it also depreciates their skills, so they're not actually able to go out and compete in that workforce, so what we really want, is we want something that stimulates a group of people to go back into what we know as that free market.

Ralston then played a clip of Angle, explaining her position thusly: "You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job but it doesn't pay as much. We've put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry."

What a bunch of nonsense. Can't wait for the old geizer Dirty Harry to go out the door. We need change. Not the same old same old.
