  1. What’s Up With Christine O’Donnell? : Delaware Liberal | November 1, 2010
  1. TellTheTruth says:

    Ever heard of “8 8”? Well you better? The eighth letter of the alphabet is H, double H = HH! Whats that stand for? Code for Heil Hitler! They don’t salute they use the code word 88. Its all over the country. A friend of mine attended a 912 Patriot meeting in Maryland. He kept hearing the ralliers “88” each other. Went home looked it up on internet. Its white supremacist hate speech, its in their flyers mailers and emails. So Chris Coons and other democrats better get wise to who is in the background of this “teaparty” movement. Angle’s use of the “second amendment remedy? Guns at rallies its time to connect the dots on who is really behind the Tea Party Movement!I am not saying that all baggers are nazis, I am saying they are being used by these groups whose race and hate speech is kept quiet and in code.

    Leave the fear-mongering to the extremists…

  3. yea right says:

    Rather a teabagger than a tea baggie!
    Please, your Stalinist tactics are so passe`..last straw of the losers.. cry rascist and Nazi. .

  4. Neil Sagan says:

    I’m not afraid. A majority of Delawareans reliably chooses reason over fear.

  5. Republican David says:

    When is he coming to a meeting by any Patriot group? How about to a Downstate city that does not rhyme with Rehoboth for a debate. He is suppose to be running for statewide office not NCC. The same with John Carney.

  6. Aoine says:

    why go to a DE 9/12 patriot meeting??

    1.their fearless leader (Russ Murphy) is a member of a group that sign a treasonous document.
    2. Russ Murphy ia a member of a underground continental congress that foments the violent overthrow of the US government
    3. Russ Murphy believes that Preesident Obama is not eligible to be president and is not lawfully our president.

    why doesn’t christine O’donnell allow the local media into publlic events

    David – stop carrying water for these thinly disguised racists. It really is disgustingto watch them demean and use you for your race.

  7. cassandra m says:

    The right response to Delusional David is that anytime Chris Coons is talking to a group of Americans he is speaking to a Patriot Group. That group of selfish malcontents should not be allowed to own any part of the word Patriot.

    barf – i just threw up in my mouth a little bit

    I cannot watch that wing-nut for 30 seconds – never mind 30 minutes

    too bad she wasn’t running when the US was trying to oust Manuel Norrieaga – they could have live-streamed her in non-stop

    he would have given up immediately

    anyone else smell fear, panic and desperation on the part of her campaign?? this stunt REEKS of it – all of it
