DFLer (RAT) abruptly quits race after saying 'ISIS isn't necessarily evil'
Star Tribune ^ | 11/15/15 | Paul Walsh

Posted on 11/15/2015 5:38:51 PM PST by Libloather

A Burnsville DFLer's campaign for the state House abruptly ended Sunday morning within hours of him posting on social media that ISIS "isn't necessarily evil" and is "made up of people doing what they think is best for their community."

The Twitter posting Saturday by Dan Kimmel, coming as the world's emotions remain raw from Friday's terror attacks in Paris, brought swift rebuke from others on Twitter. House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, called for Kimmel to give up his campaign.

"I'm folding up the campaign tent," Kimmel told the Star Tribune. He later issued a written apology and called his tweet "stupid," adding that it's probably best for him to "shut up" for the time being.

You know...people over 50 should just put their hand held devices down and step away from FB and Twitter. They think they are too cool or school. But they ain’t.

I DARE someone to give a reasoned explanation on why liberals should not be outlawed and put in cages for the protection of humanity.

If Americans don’t change their attitudes, he may still get the opportunity to be forced to wear a burka. The “I’m a nice person” bull**** has got to stop. The “haters” are winning.

Anybody got a pic of this idiot?

He is withdrawing because the DFL party leadership told him to do so. The party leaders knew that the Republicans would tie all DFLers to that statement. (Well at least Republican Strategic Thinkers should).

Read this at the Daily Mail which tried mightily to keep the democrat party’s name out of the article.

I saw one. Looks like your typical liberal who likes to hang out at 5k’s and half marathons and brag about it. Endlessly. I know many sh!ts like him as my hubby is a runner.

Why are liberals so determined to defend this Death Cult?

Hillary says “we aren’t fighting Muslims, we are fighting jihadists.”

Merriam-Webster: jihadist: A Muslim who supports or participates in a jihad.

The media will drop this and never mention it again.

If a GOP’er had of said somethign stupid then dropped out, the media would have continued to tie every GOP candidate to him.

Being a MN native with family still there, I am well acquainted with the Democratic Farm Labor party. My late Dad was a DFLer and we NEVER discussed politics because our politics were diametrically opposed. The DFL party itself is about as close as you can get communism while still being Minnesota Nice. This turd is a jerk but it won’t make a difference to the party and their success in the next election.

And a cyclist as well. A lot of the lefty cyclist think they are so much better than everyone else and don’t have to follow the rules of the road.

Disclosure statement: I am a cyclist.
