On "Meet the Press," Rachel Maddow accused Nevada Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Sharron Angle of running the "most overtly racist ad of this campaign season."

The ad, which is Angle's latest attack against opponent Harry Reid, depicts an image of white students celebrating after graduation followed by a photo of three Hispanic men, "whom the ad suggests are trying to seize preferred college tuition rates from the students," according to the Huffington Post.
