Chris Coons: Volunteer for Liberation Theology (MSM: O'Donnell-Witch, Coons-no comment)

Breaking News Chris Coons: Volunteer for Liberation Theology

By Jeffrey Lord on 9.20.10 @ 6:09AM

Uh-oh.

Here we go again.

Chris Coons, the freshly minted Democrat selected as Tea Party favorite and Republican nominee Christine O'Donnell's opponent in the Delaware U.S. Senate race traveled to Africa in the 1980s -- emerging as a committed leftist after volunteering for an organization supporting Black Liberation Theology.

The controversial religious philosophy espoused by radical left-wing activist James Cone and President Obama's one-time spiritual mentor the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Black Liberation Theology is an off-shoot of liberation theology, a Marxist-driven interpretation of Christianity.

And the liberal media -- alarmed at O'Donnell's success and busily running all manner off stories designed to portray her as a right-wing crazy -- has suddenly gone missing on Coons. Silent on a stunning revelation that could prove uniquely fatal to Chris Coons' Senate candidacy in the year of Tea Party rebellion against the Obama Administration's agenda of wealth redistribution.

The Washington Post curiously says of Coons in their Coons profile only that he "spent time in South Africa and Kenya doing relief work." The New York Times never mentions Coons' work in Africa, choosing instead to describe him as an attorney and mentioning only his work with the homeless, the Investor Responsibility Center, and the "I Have a Dream" Foundation. Plus his educational background, a B.A. from Amherst, a law degree from Yale and a Master's in Ethics from Yale Divinity School.

Yet nary a word from the Times about the now-New Castle County Executive spending time in South Africa or Kenya.

If he loses he's a shoo-in for the Death Panels.

Drove across Delaware earlier today. Saw well over a hundred O’Donnell signs. Saw about 1/2 dozen for Coons. I actually saw more Castle signs that hadn’t been taken down yet than Coons signs.

Coons' Kenyan connection is... interesting, to say the least.

Maybe he's the keeper of the Birf Certificate?

LOL... Sangria. I've practiced that myself.

Kidding aside, Santaria is much more dangerous than any Wicca that O'Donnell dabbled in during high school. You don't mess with that Santaria stuff.

Maher likes Christine says..every week she doesnt come on the show...he will throw another body out..like the hostage crisis.

I had to read it twice myself.

And it’s rare that I actually read something the first time.

I'm glad I don't live in Deleware. Having to choose between to fruitcakes for Senate can't be fun.

A writer with a decent high school English teacher would have written this sentence as follows: "Chris Coons, the freshly minted Democrat selected as the opponent of the Republican nominee and Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell in the Delaware ..."

Rove is a self inflated blowhard. No better than Dick Morris really. Rove did a terrible job guiding W, all things considered.

“has suddenly gone missing on Coons.”

LMSM might do a black out on Coons, but FR won’t. Let’s have more threads like this.
