Breaking – John Sigler Gives DE GOP Imprimatur to Sussex County Racist Gathering

Details are still emerging, but in the face of strident objections by Delaware's few remaining sane Republicans, John Sigler attended a "Take Back Our State event" hosted by racist, WGMD radio personality Bill Colley. As of now we are not sure if this "Take Back Our State event" was a full blown KKK meeting, or some subsidiary group affiliated with more mainstream Republican racists. If this turns out to be true that Siglar shared a stage with Sussex County preeminent hate mongers and race baiters, the DE GOP Chair, should face some difficult questions from the press and from Delaware's Democratic State Party Chair. It would seem to be incumbent on John Daniello to discern the DE GOP official stance on Bill Colley's shockingly racists statements. Particularly his recent statements about the President of the UNited States' mother having sex with African "savages" in order to civilize them. More as this develops.

"Now the Republicans, you know, when I talked about this earlier in the week, they said, well, this is class warfare. You know what? If asking a billionaire to pay their fair share of taxes, to pay the same tax rate as plumber or teacher is class warfare, then you know what? I'm a warrior for the middle class. I'm happy to fight for the middle class. I'm happy to fight for working people, ‘cause the only warfare I've seen is the battle that's been waged against the middle class over the last 10, 15 years." - President Barack Obama, September 22, 2011

I think that it is a well established fact that CRI's "Dr" John Stapleford is a lowlife and scumbag of the first order. But do you want more proof? Who else but a pretend academic, lowlife, scumbag would use the millons given to him by old school polluting dirty coal energy interest to try dupe teabagging morons into creating a "grassroots" response to Bloom Energy fuel cell deal?
