ICYMI Reno News & Review Rips Into Angle’s Candidacy Just One Week After Endorsing Sen. Reid
Saying we must send a “clear message about quality of candidates” in this year’s race for U.S. Senate, The Reno News & Review again blasted Angle’s candidacy, just a week after endorsing Sen. Reid.
“Angle does not have the skills or intellectual gifts the state needs. She’s not smart enough, not discerning enough for a legislator who must scrutinize the claims of agencies and lobbyists.
“Angle reaches conclusions, then cherry-picks evidence to support them. She is unable to spot people who try to con her. She embraces tales that fit her prejudices. If she agrees with someone, she cannot tell when they use arguments that are misleading, disingenuous, or false,” concludes Reno News & Review.”
Reno News & Review emphasize some of Angle’s most extreme views.
• She claimed Islamic law is used in two U.S. communities, one of which does not exist, the other of which uses U.S. law. She “read it somewhere,” she said.
• She read about one historian who discounted Thomas Jefferson’s “wall of separation” between church and state and embraced his finding, ignoring the more numerous historians who didn’t agree.
• When she sponsored legislation to force physicians to tell women seeking abortions that they risked breast cancer, her “evidence” of this link carefully excluded the overwhelming majority of studies that did not support her (“Dr. Angle’s prescription,” RN&R, June 24).
“These are not patterns of behavior needed in the Senate. Lobbyists who tell her what she wants to hear will take her to the cleaners, just as her campaign consultants did. She does not demonstrate intellectual rigor and critical thinking. In the hard-boiled Washington, D.C., world, her naïveté would put her and Nevada at the mercy of those who learn to work her.”
“That is our basic reason for our opposition. But we are also dismayed at her mean-spirited view of humankind, of the way she demeans good people. She calls the unemployed spoiled. She trivializes autism. She would force rape and incest victims to bear children. Angle would never be able to call on the best in all our people.”
