Don't let the door hitya 2: Racist Nevada state representative (“simple minded darkies”) resigns

It's good to know this guy was given the boot

Rep. Ira Hansen (R) stepped down as speaker-elect of the Nevada Assembly on Sunday, following national publicity of a report on his racist and misogynistic columns in a local newspaper—including his labeling of Black people as “simple minded darkies.” But given that memories are short, and politicians’ ambitions never die, this may be a good time to discuss the Hansen families’ 50+ year history of right-wing third party politics, from George Wallace’s 1968 presidential campaign to the present.

Limpy Balls want to be. Micheal Wiener Savage want to be. Thanks to the Reno paper for finally doing their job a few years late. Sounds like this might be a Nevada Democratic Party pay back for the shit that showed up in our campaigns. We have huge divides racially in our state and it ain't pretty. With one major religion group seems to be the pot stirrer with out any push back. Harry Reid already has his challenger and it is the Governor. Not going to be pretty in 2016 for Nevada,the Rethugs are already running their Senatorial Campaign with their letters to the Editor crap. There already running praise articles about the Rethugs Campaign Strategy Guru and how he is going to run the defeat of Reid. He sure as hell wipe the floor with us Dems with his focus on how evil Obama is.
