Nevada Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle, a former member of the completely insane Constitution Party who has written about the dangers of fluoridation (shades of the John Birch Society), is dodging the media. And she has good reason to dodge. Her history is rife with extremism, questionable associations, and bizarre views. But unfortunately for Angle, in the Internet age it’s getting pretty difficult to hide this kind of craziness, and Sam Stein at the Huffington Post has posted an audio clip of just one of Angle’s extreme statements: Sharron Angle Opposes Abortion Even With Rape, Incest: ‘God Has A Plan’.
Manders: I, too, am pro life but I’m also pro choice, do you understand what I mean when I say that.
Angle: I’m pro responsible choice. There is choice to abstain choice to do contraception. There are all kind of good choices.
Manders: Is there any reason at all for an abortion?
Angle: Not in my book.
Manders: So, in other words, rape and incest would not be something?
Angle: You know, I’m a Christian and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that he can intercede in all kinds of situations and we need to have a little faith in many things.
