Shannon Campaign: Why Won't Cooch Stand Up to Crabill's Craziness?

From Steve Shannon's campaign manager Mike Henry:

Public safety should be an Attorney General’s top priority, and Virginians want an Attorney General who will focus on keeping Virginia a safe place to work, live, raise a child, and run a business. They don’t want someone who spends his time chasing a personal political agenda.

Recently, Catherine Crabill, a Republican Delegate candidate and Ken Cuccinelli’s ticket mate in the 99th House District, told an audience at a public event that they “have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box, before we have to resort to the bullet box.” And, when she was asked by a reporter at The Washington Post to clarify what she meant, she stood by her remarks and called the President and his administration “domestic terrorists.”

In these tough economic times, when so many people are concerned about their futures and their safety, the last thing we need is people running for office who are inciting others to violence just because they don’t like how an election turned out.

Steve Shannon knows that. He stood up and condemned those remarks and he called on Ken Cuccinelli to join him. Ken’s campaign responded by calling concerns about those reckless threats “stupid.”

If Ken Cuccinelli wants to be Virginia’s next Attorney General, he should have no problem standing up and rejecting Catherine Crabill’s reckless language.

That is why our campaign launched our first web ad Monday to question Ken’s refusal to condemn these threats of violence. Virginians deserve to know where he stands.

[...]

At a time when people are concerned about our economy and keeping our communities safe, Ms. Crabill’s incendiary remarks have no place in our politics. Ken Cuccinelli has a chance to stand up and join Steve Shannon in condemning this reckless rhetoric. While the differences between Steve and Ken on the issues are stark, we should all agree that violence is never a solution to any political dispute.
