Nevada is not South Carolina, but ...

Nevada is not South Carolina.

We are not below the Mason-Dixon line. We are no longer the Mississippi of the West. We do not need Gov. Brian Sandoval to demand the Confederate flag be taken down.

We are different. Right?

A few months ago, during a legislative hearing, an assemblywoman named Michele Fiore congratulated colleague Harvey Munford on being the first "colored man to graduate from his college." Colored.

... Last year, on a dusty patch of land near Las Vegas, a rancher named Cliven Bundy began a history lesson thusly: "I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro."

... A few years ago, the chairman of the Assembly Judiciary Committee ... referred to President Obama as a "Negro" and suggested blacks are insufficiently grateful for their freedom.

Racist homophobes and Right Wing Nut jobs. At this time,because of Democratic Voters staying home,we are stuck with a Religious Cult run State Legislature. And of course Fiore loves to get in the face of anything progressive or anything moderate. This Twit is a Pallin on Roid's. Still waiting for the IRS to take her down as well as her so called former Hubby. There are enough White People in Nevada to fund and fuel this type of hatred spewed by this clown. There is so much down right hatred towards anyone who has a non white skin color. And of course,we have Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn supplying the financing for all this hatred.
