The Denver Post/Colorado Pols one-two punch. We've seen this a hundred times, why do either of you even pretend to be credible? This was not a story. Everyone makes mistakes about things that happened 30 years ago.
You are using low tactics because you're afraid of Darryl Glenn. Shame!
Which is exactly what you'd say if a Dem lied about something uncovered from 30 years ago. But why waste your time? Even must know Glenn is going to get nowhere against Bennet.
"Afraid of Darryl Glenn…" Uh, I doubt it. Incumbency, cash on hand, on-going fund raising, outside group advertising, party and campaign ground game, and polling all are problematic for Mr?/Col? Glenn.
I did a number of less than wonderful things in my late teens – but I remember whether or not they resulted in police being called, charges being raised, and my going to court. I think Glenn could have handled this pretty easily by saying "I don't remember" or "it happened, but ultimately there was no conviction." But by being definite that events did not happen when there is documentation inconsistent with that definite statement, the inconsistency becomes an element to be considered.
It's because of the whole Air Force code of honor thing, which Pols wrote about previously. He wasn't supposed to have any police contact or record, period, to be able to go into the Air Force at officer level.
I know this because my own son had been interested in going into the air force ( he wanted to fly), but was told that his getting caught with pot paraphernalia when he was 14 was disqualifying.
I'm not sure that would still be true today, mj, but reefer madness has ruined many a y oung life. I won't smoke the crap but I voted to legalize it. Prison for pot or even loss of student loans for pot is crazy.
Wait, weren't we afraid of Keyser??? . . .
. . . damn, Fluffy, you sure imagine a lot of things for us to fear!!!
We were terrified of him (and his big dog too). But not as frightened as we should have been of Darryl Glenn. Or Timmy Neville. Or Peggy Littleton.
Oh, shit, I forgot about the big dog . . .
(. . . ya think maybe Fluffy projects his own phobias a tad? I mean, he's not what you'd call hardly self aware . . . he can't really have any concept at all as to what someone else might be thinking. )
. . . I suppose it thinks we’re afraid of those vicious dust bunnies that lurk under its bed, too??
Fear – it's what they've got.
Glenn's latest story is a really good one… that he was protecting his mother from his violent father. Why didn't he go with that one in the first place? Because he just forgot? That's not the kind of thing anyone forgets. If it's true, his credibility is so shot it doesn't do him any good. It's either not true or he's an idiot for not telling the truth in the first place. Which of course makes little difference, Modster, since Dems have zero reason to be afraid of this no hoper candidate in any case.
If you throw enough stuff against the wall, eventually something good will stick.
Only if you're talking about spaghetti.
Glenn deserves a compassionate response on this story, but not any votes. I don't think that the story will hurt him with Republican base voters. Everyone knows that Colorado Springs has one of the worst domestic violence rates in the country; Like most military towns, the stresses of military life contribute to battery and sexual assault.
Glenn’s story would have been a very common one, and many people can relate to it. He was a kid. He was in a situation he couldn’t control. He should still have been honest about it, and as has been observed several times, it is the lack of honesty people will remember.
There is no compassion on this blog for anyone.
If that's the real story why didn't he tell it in the first place? It's admirable. He would have gotten not just compassion but respect for standing up to defend his mom. Now we don't have any reason to trust that the latest story is the true one. What is it? Version four? Five? Nobody just forgets stuff like that.
Having read the Denver Post article, it sounds like Mr. Glenn described growing up from the perspective of someone deeply traumatized by the violence. And the Post is guilty of re-traumatizing both Mr. Glenn and his mother without due diligence or a smattering of conscience or compassion by not consulting psychologists to learn how to explore the situation without re-traumatizing, or perhaps just getting the story straight from the beginning, instead of accusing him of being arrested. ColoradoPols shares in this hate speech by furthering the judgementalism, concluding their article assuming people who have been so traumatized remember all the details clearly and are even willing to revisit such an horrific past created by others. And yes, Blue Cat, people do forget stuff like this, because no one who has been through it wants to remember the details of one night of many. Before condemning, the Post, Colorado Pols and others should first spend some time getting to know people who have come out of a lifetime of domestic violence to live productive lives, rather than using this as a 'gotcha' story.
Horrible journalism. Absent humanity. The Post and Colorado Pols owe Daryl Glenn and his mother a very public apology!
No journalist in any of the stories appearing in the Post made any connection between Glenn and a murder.
It isn't a journalist's job to consult psychologists before reporting matters of record.
Anyone running for public office knows perfectly well that their lives and records will be examined.
You may consider yourself an expert on trauma. I doubt very much that you are.
And by the way, another Daryl Glenn did murder an ex-wife several years ago, as the Denver Post knows because they covered the story which is still available online. Initially thinking a reporter was confusing the wife-murderer with the Senate Candidate makes a lot of sense, especially when remembering why Dan Rather was fired trying to influence a Presidential election. Again, shame on the reporter for not doing more thorough research before dragging these people back through all those aweful memories of physical and emotional pain.
Until you just mentioned it, that was a likely little known, little remembered fact from "several years ago." I'm gonna' bet that the only people who now remember that murder in connection with the events of this candidacy are the people who coincidentally share the name and those operatives who coincidentally work for him (or one of his [coincidentally other] brothers) . . .
. . . obfusication through conflation. Dan Rather — WTF? Go sell your victimization somewhere else, maybe somewhere that you can find a bit of new tin foil lining for your hat.
Wecome, roofer. Are you just joining us, or have I seen your username here before?
In any case, I have a question for you since you seem to be a Darryl Glenn supporter? The only commercials I have seen about him say he is a "new kind” of candidate. What exactly is “new” about him?
Thank you.
