LAS VEGAS – A Republican campaign urging Latinos not to vote was yanked from the airwaves Tuesday amid an outcry from Democrats that it was a dirty trick against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in his hotly contested race against Republican Sharron Angle.

Reid sought to link the ad to Angle as the ad drew a harsh rebuke from President Barack Obama, Hispanic leaders and candidates from both parties in Nevada. Angle's opponents also pounced on the tea party favorite for her comments to Hispanic high school students that "some of you look a little more Asian to me."

Guess we should realize that dirty tricks are just for RATS...

Smells like a Leftist ad posing as a Republican Group to tarnish Angle. Don’t be surprised to find out Reid is behind it.

How is it a dirty trick? Not like the rats play fair.

The ad was probably run by a leftist group, we’ll find out after the election probably

pretty amazing how Americans tip toe around Hispanic and Mexican.

Many contend, the Majority of drugs and killings come from Mexicans and or Mexico.

Americans seem to be accepting TOLERANCE to their own death.

I pray the Acorn Workers arrive on time on election day... Or I am in deep doodoo.

some of you look a little more Asian to me

That's probably because Indians, Aztecs, Mayans, etc. actually are descended from Asians. I believe current thinking is that Mongolia is the ancestral home.

This sounds like false flag nonsense. The story is about outrage, not a "Republican campaign" advertisement. Nothing about the actual content, just the "pounce." This is the sort of hourly manufactured controversy that we can expect to see more of during the next two weeks.

Winning elections is not for sissies.

Hell wasn’t that a subplot on Windtalker?

[Armaggedon]

All the RATS got left is smear and fear.

Angle's opponents also pounced on the tea party favorite for her comments to Hispanic high school students that "some of you look a little more Asian to me."

Yep, that ol' bigot, racist grandma, hates her latino grand kids.

Good grief, these people are insane.

The ad is briefly described toward the end of the article (beyond the excerpt).

[RC Clayton]

So what is your suggestion? To stop Latinos from voting?

[TheDailyChange]

If they are ILLEGAL, YES!
