How much does Charlie Copeland’s endorsement of Christine O’Donnell on WDEL the other day expose him as a partisan fraud? Let me count the ways.
3) Copeland’s support of O’Donnell cements his identity as a coward. The courageous course would have been to position flatly repudiate O’Donnell and her out of state handlers. Nobody expected gutless Copeland to go that route. The neutral, but still cowardly position would have been to say nothing. Charlie could have pulled that off – but he took the VERY wormlike and absolutely spineless course and actually supporting O’Donnell, even while Castle is undecided about his next step.
2) O’Donnell’s anti-science agenda insults Copeland’s NCC “base.” By supporting the teabagging, anti-science nonsense espoused by O’Donnell, Copeland is spitting on the rational conservative NCC engineers and accountants in the face for the sake of being a GOP team player. Charlie simply can’t get enough of selling out the Republicans who regard “conservatism” to mean level headed and serious.
1) Copeland is supporting the rank lying, bullying and gay baiting that took down Mike Castle. That lying, bullying and gay baiting can (and will) be turned on Copeland’s fey, foppish self should he ever found himself on the wrong side of the O’Donnell brownshirts. Does anyone think that the teabaggers would think twice about a whisper campaign against Charlie Copeland? Hell no. It is a testament to Copeland’s stupidity that he thinks he can cozy up to these goons now in order to buy some soft treatment later.
The Whole DE GOP’s reaction to O’Donnell’s win has been vomit inducing. Copeland’s doubly so.
