Nevada Tea Party told to Latino Voter "NO Vote and stay home"

[nmbluesky]

ThinkProgress reports that Spanish-language network Univision has reversed its decision to air ads by Latinos for Reform that urge Hispanic voters in Nevada not to vote.

A third-party group headed by a GOP operative is out with a new Nevada ad spot encouraging Latinos in the state not to cast votes in this year's midterm elections.

Robert de Posada, president of Latinos for Reform and a prominent conservative operative and political analyst for Univision, has commissioned the ads in what he describes as a response to Hispanic resentment over the failure of Washington to address immigration reform despite repeated promises.

Politico's Ben Smith talked to de Posada, who told him:

"We're saying what a lot of people are feeling. It's the only way for Hispanics to stand up and demand some attention," said, adding that he also couldn't ask voters to support Sharon Angle.

"I can't ask people to support a Republican candidate who has taken a completely irresponsible and bordering on racist position on immigration," he said.

on behalf of getting Dems to hew to the Left.
