Bearded Marxist Chris Coons In the News

Coons, who is running against Christine O'Donnell for Senate in Delaware, has been relatively free of scrutiny from the same press that dissects everything O'Donnell says or does. however, others not in the mainstream media have been doing a little background checking:

NEWS: Chris Coons Was Sued Three Times In 2007 For Retaliating Against Public Employees For Their Political Views

Funny, I don’t remember hearing about this even once in “the news.”

The media is too busy hyperventilating about every word ever uttered by Delaware Republican candidate Christine O’Donnell to do any real investigative reporting on the Democrat candidate Chris Coons.

Coons did not have a particularly good day yesterday. In a debate with O'Donnell he was asked to name the five freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment. The only thing he could come up with was "separation of church and state", something which isn't even in the Constitution. When asked to explain his tortured explanation didn't come close to constitutional standards (see Ann Althouse's post on the issue). He couldn't come up with freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, and freedom to petition the government.

I guess Marxists don't really believe in that stuff, now that I think of it.
