where he already faces an uphill battle for Vice President Joe Biden’s old Senate seat.

HUH?

Karl Marx Rove told us it's O'DONNELL who doesn't have a chance?

[FlingWingFlyer]

What is it about Kenya that turns people into Marxists/Communists? The goats?

[sinanju]

So he was one of many who were brainwashed on campus?

Too bad he didn’t look more closely at just why Kenya was and remains poor and compare economic and political systems.

Sounds like a Reagan fan who didn’t actually listen to what Reagan was saying.

Who better to take the place of the idiot with the steel plate in his head than Coons the bearded Marxist - The Architect Karl (with a K) Rove’s handpicked demokrat?

The title is a bit disturbing, at first. Thought maybe Clayton Bigby had something posted to FR

America already has a bearded Marxist in 0bama and his beard, Michelle.

[RedMDer]

a class on the Vietnam War led him to “suspect…that the ideal of America as a ‘beacon of freedom and justice, providing hope for the world’ was not exactly based in reality.”

This stupid commie idiot has no clue at all about... really anything. Typical Socialist Democrat where the reality is not based on reality. It must be truely an illness

[screaminsunshine]

He’s a Communist.

[Clintonfatigued]

Wow, now it looks like the ‘Rat Party didn’t do such a hot job of vetting.

I have heard about many Leftists having "moments of clarity" and turning Conservative. However, I have rarely heard of people going the other way. If you are already conservative, its almost intellectually inconceivable to start to think that Marxism can actually work.

Hoffman said the trip to Kenya helped lead to Coons’s decision to become a Democrat.

Had a little trouble once with his campaign reporting too...

http://www.delawaregrapevine.com/7-04coonsfinancing.asp

“The campaign did not catch the problem until it came time to file the 2001 report, Coons said. His treasurer recalculated the 2000 ending balance to be in the black at $22,695 and used it for the beginning balance on the 2001 report. It had the effect of making it appear that Coons’ campaign finances magically went from being almost $94,000 in the hole to being in the clear. “

Then there was that time he was sued for falsely accusing a man of
“violating federal court orders, unethical behavior and other wrongdoing...disclosing to the Delaware media that plaintiff was dying of a brain tumor and that it
was causing him to act erratically. Plaintiff also asserts that the Individual Defendants discussed
his private medical information with numerous other individuals and during county government
meetings”

A real peach...

[Cicero]

I guess when he called himself a bearded Marxist he was referring to his ideology rather than his face. (But he does have a Red tie.)

[guitarplayer1953]

was the name of the paper called a coon in kenya?

[Dionysius]

This jackanapes is 11 points ahead in the polls? From the looks and the sound of him by next week at this time he’ll be 11 points behind and gasping for air.

[gidget7]

Flaming progressive who went to Amherst College. That was all I needed to know!

Interesting, all the talk about Kenya, I must say!

[Will88]

I realize that Kenya and America are very different, but experiences like this warned me that my own favorite beliefs in the miracles of free enterprise and the boundless opportunities to be had in America were largely untrue.”

That sentence makes zero sense. So, his experiences in Kenya, where he observed severe poverty and the attitude of the wealthy, those experiences led him to believe there were not "boundless opportunities" in the US, in comparison to Kenya?

What any rational person observed in Kenya would have convinced them that opportunities in the US were boundless in comparison. Sounds like just another self-loathing, guilt-ridden white leftist of the sort that has done so much damage to US already.

[Will88]

I’ve read and Christine O’Donnell said today in an interview, that several weeks ago she led Coons in the polls, and only fell behind him after the Republicans ran their smear campaign against her, the smears Karl Rove kept repeating last night.

[Truth is a Weapon]

You would think that this article and Reid calling Coons his peg would be enough to make him unelectable even in Delaware.

[fortheDeclaration]

Another Democrat who hates America.
