Angle Sends Cease-And-Desist To Reid -- For Reposting Her Own Website

Hahahahahahaha

It sure would make being a politician easier if your opponent could never use your previous statements. Would voting records be out of bounds too? What about citizenship??? Should politicians be blank slates Sharon Angle? Good luck with that case.

LOL!!!!! Go Harry. And thanks Sharron for bringing the website to the public's attention.

I guess that "teh crazy™" really can be patented.

What? That would be a frivolous law suit, which I'm sure she opposes. Also, too, let the FREE MARKET of ideas play out. You don't like what you said, should have thought first, dumb-ass.

What's she going to do, sue waybackmachine.org? There you can see snapshots of all her pages dating back to 2004. No C&D letter can erase her archived electronic past.

Harry Reid should just put a link to http://waybackmachine.org/20040101000000*/http://www.sharonangle.com and let the readers do the investigating.

What is really scary is that this woman and her staff don't seem to know that the Internet Archives even exist. She wants to be a U.S. Senator? What, even the willfully and proudly ignorant need representation too?

Is it November yet? I gotta cast the hell outta this vote!

Old positions, new positions; any position with Sweet Sharron is devoutly to be wished.

Guess who caved again by complying with a frivolous Republican threat? Yup, Harry Reid. Make her sue you, Harry!

This story is why I can't stand Harry Reid even though I pray to God that his opponent loses.

I'm not a lawyer but it seems that the Reid campaign could defend the reposting of her Web pages under fair use.

Short and simple-Sharron Angle is a lunatic.

I think Reid took down the old one because the name "The Real Sharron Angle" could confuse folks, not because they buy the idea that it is somehow impermissible in a political campaign to turn your opponent's own words against her.

The woman is an idiot.

Reid could make a flip flop page with little\no exposure liability, but he has NO BALLS

It is a smart political move for Reid to remove it from his website at this point. To leave it up changes the story and makes Reid the topic rather than Sharron's loony positions.

We want the hoopla to continue to be about Angle and how crazy she is. Not about whether or not it should be on Reid's website.

Webpages live on......

I think it was smart of the Reid people to do this because it keeps Angle stumbling and backtracking, looking like an amateur. I hope Reid wins but the Democrats need to update their leadership in the senate no matter what happens. Democrats need to look like a younger party that can project a progressive vision of the future effectively. We can’t characterize the Republicans as the party of the old corporatist white guys when that’s what we have leading Democrats.

The cease and desist letter is hilarious!
They claiming that the content is not for voters to be aware of Angle's actual policy and opinions, but for the "Reid campaign to obtain the names of Angle supporters under false pretenses".
Talk about underground bunkers! If the lawyer is in any way a decent one, s/he must have been as embarrassed as hell to put forth such bizarre assertions.

Oh this is absurd. Even Palin wouldn't try something like this! This is one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I've ever heard of.

A mistake on Reids campaign part to remove the material. They should have forced her to fight and spend the little money she has in the legal battle, then later after the publicity, take it down. This would have forced more attention to the message that Reids Campaign was trying to get across. Bad move. I should be their campaign stratigist.

I hope Reid fight fire with fire. This crazy lady will not go down easy.

Its been such a great week for Republicans.

She's ridiculous, of course. So are Boehner and Michael Steele and McCain and Rand Paul and Palin. It's hard to take any of them seriously. They're such easy targets, and the Republican Party is obviously in disarray. Which is why I'd like to see bolder policy initiatives from somewhere, preferably the Administration. Democrats are trimming their sails when they could be doing a lot more. TPM was such a go-getter news source under Bush. I guess they're not as hungry as they used to be.

That Sharon is one smart person. I heard in the men's room today that she has hired David Limbaugh as her attorney in this matter.

Oh, by the way, has anybody heard the news from Salt Lake that KSL will be dumping Hannity come October 1 for "radical broadcasting"? Come on media, let's get to the bottom of this factual story.

Reid taking down the site in true pussy fashion

Unless Fox makes a story from it, most republicans will never know about it anyway.

I'm not sure if Reid should have left it up or took it down... but I suspect taking it down is the correct answer. The initial reaction will be to ask what she is hiding. Not able to get a quick answer some will expect the worst. And you got to know the press will smell the story.

Sharron Angle, hoisted by her own petard, twice, by her own hand.

Brilliant:

(I'm sure I'm not the first to express this sentiment, but I'm a lazy reader.)

They should have called her bluff. Can you imagine her trying to litigate this with a campaign going on? Even if she wins, she loses.

Lawyers and court costs are expensive and all, but it would still be worth immeasurable advertising value to Reid's campaign. Why run ads merely telling people that she changes her positions when she's willing to show everyone how she changes positions?

People like her and Palin have this distorted view of reality and "fairness." Fairness is a one-way street going in their direction and reality is whatever strikes their fancy at the moment. Forget about honesty and integrity. They have guns for that.

Reid should just keep publishing it with 100% clarity that it is not his or his campaign's own wrok product and is soley being posted as a quote. Then, he shoudl send her a response letter that he has rubbed thoroughly on his anus.

That's hilarious...after listening to the right drag up what various Democrats or their nominees to appointed office said and did IN COLLEGE for the last couple of years, the right doesn't want you to repeat what they said and did DURING the campaign season?

Gad...the hypocrisy of the right runs so deep...is so commonplace...so...ever present...that it is becoming boring.

What the hell...when I search on myself, 90% of the hits are things I did before the Internet even existed (back when it was ARPANET, not open to the public). It's all stuff that got transcribed by third parties. Another item that comes up is an old classified ad I took out in a company newsletter for selling off some unwanted household stuff - in 1995! For some reason, my post '90s footprint on the WWW is rather small.

Republicans and other right-wingers seem to be clueless when it comes to technology and newfangled things like audio and video recording. How many times do we hear the plaintive cries, "I was taken out of context!" or "I never said that!" when their statements and actions are on news feeds, YouTube and The Daily Show for all the world to see?

Is there a Potomac River In Nevada? Perhaps Senator Harry Reid would like to describe what he sees hidden in this Declaration of Independence, New Bible finding in a cave. It is nothing but Political Stalking to him (is that on the criminal list) how about CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA & ITS VOTERS.

I just can't imagine leaving out Reid from the magic threesome Rahm, Geithner, & Obama, Reid is to big a political player not to have had some swing (poaching - the Obama Candy Man). What gave out at the WH recently was regular prayer here is the story they tell (just how can this be related to some clandestine hiding of documents on the Potomac in a cave. The words seem to indicate that Progressives have known about this cave but for how long, you know a Bible just don't get changed by itself there was someone behind that publication creativity. I think it goes back to a political NYC planning session in the basement apartment but William Ayers would have had to be a partner.

Wrestler Michael Spillane was the brother of Robert Spillane. It was Michael that Robert had been looking for outside the apartment through the window when he went crashing to the ground through the window quite by accident from leaning on it to hard and died on the Manhattan street below.
Read life of Mickey Spillane: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Spillane_%28mobster%29
It reminds me of when the non-famous William Ayers had his hopes set on being a mindful terrorist in NY then in Chicago up until his closest friend Obama got his mind set on Harvard and then got hungry for a sexy future and got married, all that did not stop the money laundering scam they were handling together with Timothy Geithner whom also lived in NY. The 1970s was good time with gambling motivation footed by Mickey Spillane, no drug scene for him. Tony Rezko became the leading operations manager for Obama & William Ayers plus the Reverend Jeremiah Wright became a money wart for communities building the TUCC from a pizza parlor.
