Slashdot Mirror
Senate Candidate Sued By Copyright Troll
The Iso writes "Las Vegas based company Righthaven found two articles from the Las Vegas Review-Journal about Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle reprinted on her web site without permission, so it did what it always does: bought the rights to the articles from the Review-Journal and sued the alleged infringer, seeking unspecified damages."
I get it that lots of people don't like Harry Reid. That's fine. But angle is amazingly, dangerously, stupidly incompetent, and perhaps crazy.
I kind of figured it was like the Kerry/Bush election. I didn't like Kerry at all, he was awful, but I couldn't bring myself to reward Bush for what he had done by voting for him.
She made a lot of noise about "second amendment remedies" if she doesn't get elected, and now has to back track that and either avoid questions, or blatantly state that she's not really advocating armed revolution. Always a good sign.
In other words, she had her own version of what was in the sig of some guy here on slashdot, "soap box, ballot box, ammo box, in that order."
This one is golden. The idea that she should be "friends" with the media and they should report what *she* wants? HILARIOUS!
Oh, so politicians say stupid things. Like Harry Reid and his racist comments. I'm not bringing this up because I think Harry Reid is racist, I don't, but to show that politicians say stupid things, and Angle isn't the only one, her opponent does too (although he is, frankly, more experienced and careful).
Or just take your pick. She wants most of the federal government abolished
I hate to break it to you, but a good portion of America agrees with that position. Certainly the Republican party in Nevada does, that's why they voted for her. Be careful not to confuse "dangerously, stupidly incompetent" with "someone I disagree with," you're getting close to that line.
People generally prefer to vote for an idiot who will do what they want over an intelligent person who does what they don't want. I'm not trying to prove that one candidate is better, just trying to explain why people vote for someone who says idiotic things. If saying idiotic things were the only thing that mattered, Biden would be out of a job a long time ago.
