Get a load of this. At an Association of Commerce and Industry candidate forum for the open seat race in New Mexico’s 2nd CD, Sante Fe Republican Ed Tinsley decided to let loose his inner Limbaugh when criticizing Democrat Harry Teague’s support of withdrawal from Iraq:
“How can I call my two nephews over there right now … and tell them I’m running against a guy that will cut your throat — that will cut the bottom out of your funding,” Tinsley said.
Wow, talk about getting ugly. The crowd, of course, drowned out Tinsley with a rousing chorus of boos.
LP asks: “Did we find Ed Tinsley’s macaca moment?” Maybe so. Check out NM FBIHOP for the video.
SSP currently rates this race as Lean Republican.
that if after this election there will 3 Democratic representatives, 2 Democratic senators and a Democratic governor in the swing state of New Mexico?
what Democracy for New Mexico had to say about it.
“Oops…crap.”
The Las Cruces Sun News reporter, Steve Ramirez, chose to not mention why Tinsley was booed, and called the audience “pro-Democrat”. Perhaps some comments on the article telling him that’s not quite right and bias is bad in a reporter is also not good. http://www.lcsun-news.com/news…
This is just silly. That is probably the dumbest thing that this person could have ever said.
Because it’s meaning is quite direct. There’s less confusion about what Tinsley meant to say.
