Celia smacks down the DE GOP – but hard!!

REPUBLICAN MANIPULATION

The dawning of the Internet is like the splitting of the atom – a wonderful discovery with a limitless possibility for good or ill.

The Internet can provide more information and insight than any single human being ever could absorb. It also can provide an opportunity to manipulate its contents for selfish ends.

The Delaware Republican Party has gone down the wrong path.

The Republicans appropriated a story from Delaware Grapevine to put on the Website of Joanne M. Christian, their candidate in the special legislative election Nov. 3 for the seat last held by the late Sen. James T. Vaughn Sr.

The Republicans did not take the story, the whole story and nothing but the story. Instead, they corrupted it.

They posted excerpts from the story, “State GOP Chooses School Board Leader for Special Election,” portraying their party and their candidate in a favorable light, and they excised unfavorable commentary. They did not provide a link for readers to avail themselves of the full context.

This is the Internet. This is a democracy. Both benefit from the free exchange of speech and ideas. The Republicans, like anyone else, are welcome to link to Grapevine stories and other features, but they are not welcome to manipulate them.

The Republicans may not care about integrity, but Delaware Grapevine cares about its own.

Flashbacks of the Ferris campaign anyone? Maybe I was too hard on Dave Crossan? The candidate is not being well served by the GOP braintrust.

    So now you want to share a bed and rub toes with Celia Cohen and her delawaregrapevine.com blog?

    I’m telling your wife.

    P.S.: Don’t forget, she still loves Mike Castle.

    P.P.S.: I’m sure she will still sleep with you, though.

    Every 69th thing she writes gives me a giggle. And I don’t think it reflects poorly on Christian. She is the victim in this.

    By the way, who corrupted her blog work Smit?

  3. r smitty says:

    Someone using Protack’s router?

    Only a guess.

  4. r smitty says:

    Thing is, it was cited on the website.

    That goes to show you, anything goes on a BLOG, particularly, Celia Cohen’s delawaregrapevine.com BLOG.

    So the Feroce stuff was lopped off – but now the whole thing is gone from Christian’s site so I can’t see if there were other ways someone “corrupted it.”

  6. Disbelief says:

    I guess the Christian stance on corrupted plagiarism is the same as her stance on fusion candidacy.

    “Its OK!”
    “Wait, no its not!”
    “Wait, yes it is.”
    “Um, maybe not.”

    She’s starting to sound like the antagonist in ‘Psycho’ talking to his mother/himself.

  7. Disbelief says:

    And I have to say this, about Celia:

    “Oh no she di’ent!”

  8. Dave says:

    I did it. I lopped off the bottom of the article that had nothing to do with the election. I kept on JoanneChristian.com all of the article that had anything to do with Joanne Christian. Then I stopped. That’s all.

    Anyone notice how Celia didn’t provide a link to what she was referencing either?

    I should have known better than to cite a questionable internet journalist anyway.

  9. Dave says:

    And to think I gave you a shout-out in my response and you’re taking her side…

    Hmmmm….?

    Celia hates Dave. That is pretty clear. My magic 8 ball tells me that a Cohenology 101 post is in the near future.
