Delaware GOP officials seek to support ISIS recruitment goals
The DEGOP is doing exactly what ISIS hoped:
Delaware GOP officials are asking Gov. Jack Markell to block any attempts by the federal government to place Syrian refugees in Delaware,
Pissing his pants as a result of the attacks in Paris, GOP chairman Charlie Copeland said that the United States needs to play into the hands of terrorists, by pushing ISIS resistors into the arms of the terrorists out of fear.
Copeland…asked Markell to, “demand that the Obama administration halt all efforts allow these individuals to cross American borders.”
ISIS, meanwhile, is thrilled with Copeland’s idiotic and short-sighted reaction to the attacks:
ISIS has ratcheted up its propaganda against anyone fleeing the conflict in Iraq and Syria of late — calling those who leave traitors and imploring others to stay and help to build their so-called caliphate. At the same time, it has vowed to make it impossible for Muslims to live peacefully in the West, threatening to destroy what it calls a “gray zone” of coexistence.
The Republicans have been playing into the hands of terrorists for decades. What is the opposite of Je suis Charlie? My French sucks.
It’s been a while, but I think it’s Je ne suis pas Charlie — but I guess we could ask him. I believe there’s some French blood in his family.
It’s like everything else for these guys. All they’re looking for is a chance to make political hay while not actually DOING anything.
Now that Colin Bonini is Carney’s new BFF, maybe Copeland should be out recruiting somebody, anybody, respectable to run for Guv instead of Lacey the Gun Lady.
Charlie gets the meme from the RNC, puts out a statement, then goes back to managing his portfolio.
Can politics in this state get any worse?
El Som,
Yes, it can get worse … in ways we have not yet imagined.
But consider this for a moment: Is Charlie Copeland really stupid?
Look, Lacey Lafferty isn’t going to be our next governor. Nor is Colin Bonini.
But ConservaDems Carney and Carper do such an excellent job of representing the interests of the corporate wing of the Republican party that there’s little reason for the state GOP leadership to oppose them.
A year from now, Charlie Copeland will be happier than most DL readers with the outcome of the gubernatorial election, and it will come at little cost to the GOP coffers. You can take that to the bank.
