DFLer (RAT) abruptly quits race after saying 'ISIS isn't necessarily evil'
Star Tribune ^ | 11/15/15 | Paul Walsh

Posted on 11/15/2015 5:38:51 PM PST by Libloather

A Burnsville DFLer's campaign for the state House abruptly ended Sunday morning within hours of him posting on social media that ISIS "isn't necessarily evil" and is "made up of people doing what they think is best for their community."

The Twitter posting Saturday by Dan Kimmel, coming as the world's emotions remain raw from Friday's terror attacks in Paris, brought swift rebuke from others on Twitter. House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, called for Kimmel to give up his campaign.

"I'm folding up the campaign tent," Kimmel told the Star Tribune. He later issued a written apology and called his tweet "stupid," adding that it's probably best for him to "shut up" for the time being.

This is the line of crap I would expect from a Minnestoopid DFL’er.

He wants to be called “Dana” because he identifies as a sixteen year old girl.

Not a Minnesota fan at all, but I don’t think Burnsville is Minnecraponus. He would definitely get away with it, even applauded, spewing that at Lake and Hennepin.

Looks like Burnsville did what was best for their community and ran this jerk out of town on a rail.

He was rebuked for saying out loud what the establishment is thinking. Both parties.

Hooboy. Nice timing, Dan-O. But yeah, I guess I see your point. Those fun-loving guys who cut people's heads off with a dull knife, burn them alive, drown them in cages, shoot children in the head, throw grenades into crowds, car-bomb marketplaces, they're all really nice guys looking out for their communities. Like Mother Teresa. What was I thinking?

It is made up of people doing what they think is best for their community.

That statement is true if ISIS thinks raping children and women, trafficking in sex slaves, burning people alive, shooting people, drowning people, roasting people on spits, crucifying people, beheading people, shooting/blowing up people in theaters, restaurants, and stadiums, stoning women,and throwing gays off buildings is best for their community.
