Glen Urquhart “Misspoke”
I’m sure you’re relieved to hear that Glen Urquhart didn’t mean to call liberals Nazis:
“It was an April mistake,” he said Thursday. “In that segment, it was not as skillfully worded as I would like to have been. I’m a little more experienced campaigner today than I was in April.”
What he was trying to say — albeit unskillfully — was that people must be careful about their words.
“Let’s all be careful about what phrases we use without thinking them through,” he said. “The Nazis used the same separation-of-church-and-state rhetoric for a very, very bad purpose. I didn’t mean to suggest — and I am not suggesting — that people who are liberals are Nazis.”
It’s o.k. Glen, I forgive you. After all, I didn’t mean to say you had an unhealthy sexual obsession with farmyard animals. It was just a June mistake. I said that this morning but I’ve matured since then.
Here’s the kicker. Glen Urquhart says he doesn’t use casual “things I don’t like are Hitler” comparisons, he really means it:
But Urquhart said that issue has personal significance to him.
“My great-grandfather was a Jew who fled Jewish persecution,” Urquhart said. “My grandfather was Jewish — lived and died as a Jew. I understand this in a visceral way.”
You meant every word of your B.S. Nazi comparison, Glen. You’re just sorry other people found out you said it.

The story here is that Celia Cohen is a water carrier for Greenville. Someone gave her that Youtube link. Let’s not pretend that she is a journalist. She is a blogger on the Rollins payroll.
I wonder if the News Journal is fact-checking Urquhart’s statement regarding his Jewish heritage.
What the hell is an April mistake? Is that like a “youthful indiscretion” in your forties?
What he was trying to say — albeit unskillfully — was that people must be careful about their words… when the camera is rolling.
Jason,
Wade’s campaign took the video. Does this mean Wade is supporting Rollins now? Cohen was very sly in her post about the video saying who posted it was unknown.
Urkle is stupid to be sure, but this is a poltical takedon. The video was put up by “neptune7” on May 31. The very day neptune7. Created a YouTube account. It is clumsily called “urquhart’s gaffer”.
Who uses that kind of phrasing outside of campaigns? Nobody.
Even today the video only has 195 views. And yet Celia Cohen wrote and posted her water carrying only 48 hours neptune7 created the YouTube account. How many views did it have when Cohen typed the words “How it got there is unkown.”.
I say Celia knows how it got thereand is lying. She knows the unseen speaker in the video. She is on it within 48 hours. Someone told her where to find it, and yet she is pretending there is a mystery around who put it up.
Democrats, know who you are dealing with here.
I’m not sure why I’m supposed to care if one Republican takes down another. I think this is just as likely to drive a wedge between the country club Republicans of northern Delaware and the social conservative Republicans of southern Delaware.
Urquhart is a fool. Too bad he won’t be able to beat Miss Jamaica 1963. Maybe I’ll say something to him when I see him at the Y or I’ll ask him for his grandmother’s chicken soup recipe.
Greenville is taking out the trash.
“I think this is just as likely to drive a wedge between the country club Republicans of northern Delaware and the social conservative Republicans of southern Delaware.”
Sort of like the wedge between the Gestapo and the SS.
REpublicans: Save your outrage. I know that’s not true.
The Gestapo and SS had more in common than the two branches of the Delaware GOP.
The name of the yacht upon which Rollins wined & dined Prince Charles and Princess Skakazoid two years ago…? Wait for it….. Neptune7.
(I’m not sure about that – but it sounds good).
This just goes to show that money can buy all of the County Council Presidents, bloated talk show hosts, high priced political consultants and GOP delegates you want, but money can’t make your crazy go away.
