Hey, did ya know Sharron Angle is a loon?
Sharron Angle: Nevada Candidate Already Providing Treasure Chest Of Goodies For Harry Reid
There was noticeable glee among supporters of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Tuesday night. The upset victory of Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle in the Nevada Republican primary ensures that the subsequent months of campaigning will be fought as much over her record as his.
By Wednesday morning, the flood of opposition research on Angle had burst wide open. Talking Points Memo reported that Angle once “spoke out strongly against fluoride, the substance known alternately for improving dental health and as a Communist plot to undermine Western democracy.” Prior to that, The Plum Line’s Greg Sargent pointed to an interview that Angle gave to Liberty Watch magazine in February 2010, in which she suggested support for making alcohol consumption illegal. Reid’s campaign, Sargent added, was planning to paint Angle as, essentially, crazy. </em>
You have to think that mainstream GOP bigs loathe the Tea Party, particularly when one of them manages to win a primary. All this woman does is give long time congress creep Harry Reid back his seat, because Angle is, well, batshit crazy, and seemingly wrapped in the warm glow of truthiness about an America that only exists in the fevered brain meat of the true believers.
