Angle: Two American cities under Sharia law
By:
CNN's Jeff Simon

(CNN) - Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle told a crowd of Tea Party rally-goers last week that two cities — Dearborn, Michigan and Frankford, Texas — are under Sharia law, the sacred law of Islam.

“We're talking about a militant terrorist situation, which I believe isn't a widespread thing, but it is enough that we need to address, and we have been addressing it,” Angle said according to audio of the rally obtained by the Washington post. “My thoughts are these. First of all, Dearborn, Michigan, and Frankford, Texas, are on American soil, and under Constitutional law. Not Sharia law. And I don't know how that happened in the United States.”

The problem? Well, Frankford, Texas doesn’t really exist.

1. Neither city existed...
...when the Constitution was written. Has anybody informed her of that?

4. If "militant terrorists" took over two US cities, I'd call that "widespread"
Edited on Tue Oct-12-10 08:38 AM by MindPilot
Especially when one of those cities is home to one of the largest corporations on the planet.

But republicans can't seem to make even their fantasies plausible anymore.

edit for speeling

5. So the city council of Dearborn decided to separate from the US and no one but her noticed?
Wow, Sharron, good thing you're out there for us.

12. Well Dearborn,Michigan does exist
I doubt that Ms.Angle knows anything other what she has been fed by right wing media. I know people in Dearborn. But had Ms. Angle did any research on Dearborn Michigan she would have known that Dearborn at one time was only known for two things. Ford Motor Company and its inherit dislike for black people. So now that it has a large Arabic population I am glad to see the diversity. Oh yes the moratorium on black folks got lifted they are now adding to the color scheme.We shall overcome.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

14. Someone should tell her that Dearborn doesn't exist.
Let her struggle and flop around for a while, trying to find something like a map or atlas to prove that it does.
