Charlie and the Negativity Factory

Filed in Delaware by on October 22, 2008

Check out Tommywonk for his post about Copeland’s false claims in starting the Challenge Program.

Charlie Copeland has made his role in the program a centerpiece of his campaign, particularly in the City of Wilmington. If Copeland said he simply led the program, I would not give the matter any thought. But his claim to have founded the Challenge Program doesn’t hold water.

One more thing. I just received this charming mailer. Thank you, Mr. Copeland, watching you self-destruct is almost as much fun as watching McCain’s demise. BTW, this was sent out apparently sent out by Copeland’s PAC, not his campaign.

Choo, choo, Charlie.

    How F’ed up the DEGOP now? There is this and driving home last night I saw crappy handmade signs for that debunked Jack Markell smear site.

    It is like the DEGOP is just throwing in the towel.

  2. cassandra m says:

    Nemski! I was going to do this today, but I have a piece that calims credit for the Challenge Program targeted to the city. I’ll scan it in in abit and figure out how to add it here.

  3. Nooneimportant says:

    I wonder what the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation thinks about these lies. The program was originally under their wings…

  4. jason330 says:

    They are pretty open about having founded it. I wonder if they would comment.

    I bet not.

  5. cassandra m says:

    But what if the NJ asked them to comment?

    What if the NJ actually did some reporting on this?

  6. Kilroy says:

    Denn is sinking in political quicksand and doesn’t look like Markell is going to hang onto him without falling in himself!

    Denn a nice guy so I am not bashing him! He keeps on talking about free healthcare for all Delaware children but doesn’t address the family needs and needs of seniors. Where is getting the money to pay for this healthcare??????? He’s a democrat that will break the backs of the middleclass them same people who have been providing him and his family healthcare!

    Denn will be a political victim like Carney another nice guy because the people are tired of having a governor with a pool boy that sits back and doesn’t step up! A Markell-Copeland administration is what Delaware needs! We all want change so let’s get some real change! Mrakell will win because Lee last minute blitz won’t work! Copeland is gaining ground! FYI , many of the GOP’s left me on their leadership bulk E-mail list ones I was required to sign a confidentially clause. I can just say this, a major blitz is rolling out! Markell is getting too deep into saving Denn and it’s quite obvious it about needed someone loyal to cover his back as he doesn’t need Copeland the in-house watchdog! Denn is sinking and can’t stand on his own!

    FYI Charlie I know you’re reading this and despite my political views you still can kiss my ass! Lee-Copeland bad for Delaware and Markell-Copeland is what we need.

  7. MJ says:

    Wow – that anti-Denn piece looks exactly like the anti-Katz piece.

  8. I know Jack says:

    The GOP is a disaster and the end is near.

    What a surprise that Copeland is a liar and weasel. Markell better jump up and down to help Denn because he has Lee beat to a pulp.

    Get rid of Copeland and his ilk.

  9. I know Jack says:

    Copeland is not the only GOP liar. His handpicked choice to replace him is also a known liar.

    Let’s tell the truth. Clatworthy can’t vote on any any banking legislation if elected. Yes, that is right . The biggest industry in Delaware and he can’t say Boo about it. Does anyone else see the problem?

    Clatworthy and his Delaware Plan is all BS, he plagiarized it from two other sources. One in state and the other out of state. This lie needs to be revealed.

    Clatworthy is Copeland’s hanpicked choice ala Wayne Smith and Jim Bowers, duh?

  10. Kilroy says:

    “What a surprise that Copeland is a liar and weasel. Markell better jump up and down to help Denn because he has Lee beat to a pulp.”

    Pretty good but a lair is someone that was caught in a lie and a weasel is someone that hasn’t been caught! However the biggest travesty is legislators who are beyond liars and weasels and are snakes! Dover is full of snakes !

    Denn, there you have it ! Markell better help him! If Denn can’t win on his own what good is he to us? He is a good man and wonderful public servant but not the right stuff at this time!

    Also, I don’t want to rain on somebody’s parade but if you only knew what I know that took place at Jordan’s in Chicago with one of the candidates!

  11. Geezer says:

    Kilroy, there’s not a shred of evidence — beyond the exclamation mark key on your computer — to support your contentions about Matt Denn’s electoral chances. He should win by at least 10 points.

  12. Kilroy says:

    Geezer
    “He should win by at least 10 points.”

    Should! Why not will?

    Copeland will carry the minority vote that will be a historial turn out! Holloway a democrat running as a republican! Some say new voters only out to vote for Obama will vote straight D! not going to happen! Copeland has more going for him like name reconiztion that at times is the sole reason someone vote for. The minority factor and the Delaware Political Star Chamber working for him! His name Copeland even sounds more appealing then Denn!

    It’s time the right hand watches the left hand!

  13. Geezer says:

    You’re bat-crap crazy.

    Why not “will”? Because I’m not a cheerleader. You should try leaving your pompoms at home once in a while.

  14. Nooneimportant says:

    MJ- That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw it…

    As for the WNJ asking the KNF to comment… laughable, that requires actual reporting…

  15. Kilroy says:

    Geezer
    “You should try leaving your pompoms at home once in a while.”

    Holy shit are you smoking DMT? My heart won’t be broken either way! I jsut saying this election not like any in the past and the minorty vote could have an impact and with Markell trying to save Denn is a tip off Denn is falling behind!

    I am probably the only blogger or even anyone that comments to tell Copeland live in his face that he full of shit! But that was on issues he and I have conflicts! I just saying from a political view witht he little help of knowing who’s in the Delaware Politcal Star Chamber that Copeland has a great chance of winning which would be a major blow to the democratic status quo and a change to close the divide in state government that’s srewing us all! Both sides have failed so why not lock them in office together.
    WHYY puts out a poll and that seals the deal, bullshit ! This weekend is the start of a major politcal blitz nationally and locally!

  16. Gang,

    I’m going off the rails on Copeland this afternoon. Call in!

  17. h. says:

    Kilroy, Copeland will not win. Chateau country isn’t that big.

  18. Geezer says:

    And the minority vote for Republicans is mostly in your mind. Holloway will get his clock cleaned in the city, and so will Copeland.

  19. Kilroy says:

    Geezer
    “And the minority vote for Republicans is mostly in your mind. “

    I am only taking Copeland not Republicans in general! What is one of the major responsibilities if the Lt. Governor?

  20. Geezer says:

    The Lt. Gov. has no major responsibilities.

    LOL!!!!!

  22. Kilroy says:

    Geezer

    take a hard look!

  23. anon says:

    As written on the bottom of Charlies push piece…

    Call Matt Denn and tell him we deserve better…

    After this stupid mail-in piece… Matt deserves our vote… That is the best thing we can give him.

  24. cassandra_m says:

    The Lt. Gov certainly has no responsibilities that might break any perceived gridlock, that’s for sure.

  25. anon says:

    Charlie is trying to buy the city! Thousands to Norm Oliver and thousands to the sinister ministers! It won’t work, people in the city are smarter than that…..they will take the money and vote democratic. Except for Herman Holloway and Tyler Nixon!

    The one thing the repubs know is, you have to take the City to win the State, thats why the money (bribery) is there last shot.

    I heard Castle is showing up at places he has never been before, they are all running scared.
