Incoming Nevada Speaker is a real piece of work

The Reno News and Review dug up the past writings of Nevada Assembly speaker-designate Ira Hansen (R) which would make him “one of the most controversial speakers in Nevada history.”

“While members of the GOP caucus talked about a united front, they selected as speaker a legislator who is one of the most contentious public officials in the state. Hansen doesn’t like blacks, gays, Israel, many Republicans, and most Nevadans—he once wrote that newcomers to the state, who constitute four of every five Nevadans, should accept Nevada as it is or leave.”

Here are a couple choice quotes:

On race: “The relationship of Negroes and Democrats is truly a master-slave relationship, with the benevolent master knowing what’s best for his simple minded darkies. For American blacks, being denied choice and forced to attend the failing and inferior government school system is a form of involuntary servitude. Let’s call it what it truly is—educational slavery.”

On women: “Today, when Army men look at women in the ranks with ’longing in their eyes’ it very well may constitute ’sexual harassment.’ The truth is, women do not belong in the Army or Navy or Marine Corps, except in certain limited fields.”

Sounds like a mainstream Republican.  What's the issue here?

Mainstream republicans don't support slavery. Heck, I don't think Jim Risch (most conservative member of the senate) supports slavery.

Um, he was being sarcastic you know.

Good to know that the Democrats will be taking back the Nevada State Legislature in 2016.

You mean just like how the Democrats took back the North Carolina State Legislature this year?

1)Nevada isn't gerrymandered.

2)Nobody said that Democrats would take back the North Carolina legislature this year.

He did - announced today that he summoned Hansen and demanded his resignation last Friday. Vote will be between Bachmannite Michele Fiore and regular Paul Anderson.

What's the difference if instead of Hansen they choose this Fiore character?
That she has a smaller paper trail?

LL: Fiore makes Angle look sane. Saying striking culinary workers who catcall should be beaten and shot , being Bundy's biggest fan who called the BLM "Nazi-minded bullies", among many other things.

So, she is no better than Hansen.

Freedom-loving Republicans in action.
