Nevada Assembly speaker tilts state to far right
By Nia-Malika Henderson, Washington Post
Nevada Republicans won big this November, flipping the Nevada state Assembly and Senate from blue to red and winning every statewide office — including re-electing Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval in a landslide. So you’d think Sandoval would be happy, right?
Maybe not. Ira Hansen is very likely to become the next speaker of the state Assembly, after being put forth as the nominee of the majority Republicans. Hansen has written disparagingly about blacks, Latinos and women in the past, even using words like “negro” and “darkie.”
Republicans backed Hansen over a more moderate pick. And given the more moderate and pro-abortion rights Sandoval has often clashed with more conservative elements of his party, it seems quite possible Hansen could be a thorn in his side for the next few years — just as he the governor is primed to build more of a national profile.
Hansen’s ascent also suggests that Nevada, a state that President Obama won twice, is headed the way of North Carolina, where Republicans in power for the first time in many decades used that power to pass some controversial bills — often to the detriment of Gov. Pat McCrory (R) and the still-successful campaign of Speaker and new Sen.-elect Thom Tillis, R-N.C.
Watch out for the edge (of the world)!
Time to unpack my “Jesus riding a dinosaur” T-shirt.
More evidence in support of the idea that most racists are conservatives.
Oh, Fish, that’s bull and you know it. One example does not a majority make. There are stupid racists on both sides of your aisle.
How many times has the “Reverend” Al Sharpton called white people “crackers”?
I watched one of the nations biggest racists on TV last night from the white house.
Racism as practiced by the leftist street agitators was seen last night starring a comic book lying clown saying that he will ignore laws for certain races and now what he has said is illegal he can wave a magic pen and call it legal and he thinks the people are too dumb to know the difference and laws don’t matter because the imposter and liar said so even though the immigration reform and border security bills were ignored on his orders and the Border Security Act of 2006 was defunded by his orders.
‘One example does not a majority make.’
Specifically, where did I commit that logical fallacy?
I didn’t. You just used another strawdog.
Coming from the Washington Compost this fish wrap is to be expected.
The fifth estate (MSM)has become a propaganda outlet for the far left and just about totally disconnected itself from being the watchdog of government.
Checking out the author of this dribble Nia-Malika Henderson, her bio clearly shows she is a far left America hating commie, oh please excuse me I meant progressive.
The left firmly believes that the 1st Amendment for protected speech and the Constitution should be like the immigration laws and be subject to elimination by waving a pen and saying when King Insane doesn’t like that only Congress has the authority to make law and change law he cancelled it because Insane doesn’t like it infringing on him and Insane changed it by waving a pen and surrounding himself with illegals and trying to cancel deportations for millions of criminals by telling ICE to ignore criminals, this was straight from the lying King Insane Hussein from Kenya who has numerous relatives illegally in the country.
it still amazes me how the far right cons who claim to ‘love America’ express such deep hatred for Americans who aren’t white males. Ira Hansen, and his apologists here: Legal(=self admitted voter registration fraudster) and inJustice(known misanthropic troll) are prime examples of this type of brain impaired pig. I’m guessing the fumes from cephalo-colonic impaction has affected their thought processes to where they cannot reason clearly, and damaged their ability to feel or act compassionately towards their fellow human.
The people defending this pos are just like him. They don’t even try to disguise their blatant bigotry anymore. There’s a large voting block of these cretins that were out in force in the midterms.
You two are just sore losers. America voted and told the fool they are sick of his blatant lies, disregard for Congress or the Constitution. Yet you think letting 5MILLION ILLEGALS stay is a good idea. You foolishly try to put a compassion guilt trip on those who voted. You obviously have ZERO compassion for true Americans or the thousands of immigrants waiting to enter LEGALLY. Your credibility is about as good as the criminal you bow to as a president.
What was the point of Obama having a little colored boy next to him dressed exactly like him when he signed. If anything it should have been a Mexican. Isn’t that what all this BS is about?! But as the fool said, “those people make your beds and pick your crops”.
If Barack Obama had a another daughter he would want her to be just like Nia-Malika.
HHmm: I haven’t seen anything written about not liking them because they are not “white males”. It’s about they are here I L L E G A L L Y. I’m beginning to thing it’s YOU who has a problem with males.
Well, at least you’re beginning to think, though it scope is rather narrow and inaccurate. Your friend Dogula thinks I have a problem with women since I openly criticize Bachmann, Palin, Coulter and others of that low IQ mindset. The thing I have a problem with is smug hate-filled idiots who use their freedom to advocate the denial of basic human needs, and dignity, to others.
“What was the point of Obama having a little colored boy next to him dressed exactly like him when he signed. If anything it should have been a Mexican”
Wow.
@cosa-the patronizing tone of SickofIt’s comment is disgusting.
The left have always said the son of an anti-American African Communist and polygamist who was raised a Muslim in Africa would be a great leader. This type of anti-American agitator has lied his way into many positions without ever having had an honest job and now he thinks his pen can change our laws, the Constitution and the Amendments, he found out he was wrong in the election and he will be defeated in court and defunded if not impeached soon. His next hope is for riots to break out in Ferguson and spread for his benefit for cover and for him to attempt to seek new powers.
Wow! There are still people claiming President Obama is from Kenya? The staunchest of us Republican supporters gave up on that years ago. I’m a conservative and you folks are making us all look stupid.
This is a website that helps normal people understand where these knuckledraggers come from.

Hmmm: Not taking sides but “sick of it” is accurate even if you don’t agree. The little boy is black (also known as colored) and this whole issue is about keeping ILLEGAL Mexicans here. They ARE Mexican. I had to wonder myself, what Obama’s reasons/motives were for having the boy there and dressed just like Obama.
Sick of it, do you notice how the facts really bother some people?
These are fact, according to Beagle….
“If Barack Obama had a another daughter he would want her to be just like Nia-Malika.”

Very factual, these statements….sane, logical and mature as well.
