Republican Sharron Angle has another ad in the Nevada Senate race, continuing to ramp up her attack against Harry Reid on illegal immigration. And this ad takes it to a whole new level — with shady-looking brown people sneaking around fences, and undermining young white folks in college and construction workers in hard-hats.
“Harry Reid voted to give special tax breaks to illegal aliens,” the announcer says. “And Harry Reid voted to give Social Security benefits to illegals — even for the time they were here illegally. And now Harry Reid is fighting for a program that would give preferred college tuition rates to none other than — illegal aliens. Using your money to pay for it. Leading to a simple question: What does Harry Reid have against you?”
Note that the college students and construction workers all appear to be white. Wow. Angle isn’t even trying to win Hispanic voters at all, is she?
The TPM Poll Average currently puts Reid ahead by 47.7%-46.0%.
