But Charlie Dent is associated with one of the most sinister racist organizations in American life. Charlie enjoys solid support from Planned Parenthood, which was documented in a sting last year, taking targeted donations to support abortions in specifically African-American neighborhoods. Dent is a typical Progressive, Rockefeller Republican who approves of a thinning of the minority herd. Jake Towne's associations are absolutely reprehensible. Dent's are just as troubling to many of us. Abortion (called "a sacred right" by Ted Kennedy), however, is the ultimate inoculation against ANY leftist criticism. Even Bernie won't touch Dent's "Black" problem as it relates to targeted abortion funding to eliminate black pregnancies.Bob Casey Sr ?

Last I looked the 15th District is located in the USA and that, according to the Constitution, we have a 1st Amendment Right to hold AND state our opinion, no matter how repugnant it may be. <br /><br />I happen to be Jewish, and I find his stance to be repulsive and I would never vote for him. And I am glad you do as well. But ... he not only has the right to that opinion, but he has the right to express that opinion. <br /><br />As one of the three candidates who has qualified to be listed on the November election ballet, he has a right to be invited to ALL the debates that are held between the candidates. <br /><br />I suspect that if Ron Angle was running as an "independent" or 3rd party platform you would be all about him having the right to be in the debates. I use Ron Angle and not Ron Shegda or Gretta Brown as my example specifically because he has made blatant anti-semitic remarks (I was listening live to the broadcast on WAEB before he was kicked off for said remarks).<br /><br />I find it sad that you cannot step back from your man Charlie and look at the big picture. The price of freedom is listening to some horrible things. It doesn't make them right, but it is the price of freedom.<br /><br />A LV JewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-74048194296799715152010-07-27T13:40:39.139-04:002010-07-27T13:40:39.139-04:00Bernie O'Hare said...

Being labeled a racist or anti-semetic by a politician's campaign because of a band is not. <br /><br />I'm not a Towne supporter, but at the end of the day Towne is a person. When the campaign is over he will go back to doing whatever he does. I think there should be something a bit stronger before I give a guy a label he will carry for the rest of his life.<br /><br />It's simply not fair to impugn someone's character based on such flimsy evidence. Personal attacks such as this are why so many good people don't want to go into politics.<br /><br />Maybe I expect a higher standard from Charlie Dent, but I feel let down by his actions in this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-62651876150117970972010-07-27T12:53:20.491-04:002010-07-27T12:53:20.491-04:00Dent should have made the same request and asked T...Dent should have made the same request and asked Towne to distance himself from the Band.

"Callahan camp says....about Dent."<br /><br />I know I previously wrote about Dent focusing on character as a positive. I guess the only comment I'd make is that the danger of being predominantly negative is that there is a point when it can backfire. Being nothing but negative on your opponent's personal integrity can tarnish your opponent (which is why its done), but it can also speak of a candidate's own character. I have known people who voted against candidates (rather than for their opponent) simply because they got tired of the negative.<br /><br />Now, I am not saying some good questions haven't been raised. But voters would prefer, "elect me because....." rather than "don't elect him because.....". It would be nice to hear more of the first from both the Dent and Callahan camps.Lighthousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346747286241817118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-84294165993266304192010-07-27T10:11:23.589-04:002010-07-27T10:11:23.589-04:00"Bernie and Dent want to push the prior two n...<em>"Bernie and Dent want to push the prior two news cycles down the memory hole"</em><br /><br />Who the hell talks like this?
