Elko: Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton called on her chief rival Barack Obama on Friday to denounce ads being run on Spanish-language radio that accuse Clinton of not respecting Hispanic people.
"They're shameless and offensive," Clinton said of the ads after a rally in the Nevada mining town of Elko, a day ahead of caucuses that are next in the state-by-state process to choose presidential nominees.
The ad backs Illinois Sen Obama and says that "Hillary Clinton does not have respect for our people," referring to a lawsuit aimed at stopping voting taking place at Las Vegas casinos. Casinos workers, who are largely represented by a union that endorsed Obama, will be able to vote at their workplaces after a judge rejected the lawsuit, a result that Clinton's campaign called disappointing.
