Is Coffman sorry he called Obama a "recruiting tool" for terrorists?

Rep. Mike Coffman.

Last month, Rep. Mike Coffman wrote on Facebook that Obama is the “real recruiting tool” for terrorists, not GITMO.

Coffman: “President Obama wants to close GTMO because he thinks it’s a recruiting tool for terrorists – the real recruiting tool is a President who seems more concerned about protecting the rights of terrorists rather than defeating them and protecting the American people.”

Yet it flew under the radar of Denver media, and Coffman never apologized for the recruiting tool comment.

But it seems, judging from a KOA interview today, that Coffman himself apparently believes that the comment was wrong.

Coffman: This president refuses to acknowledge that we are a nation at war not of our own choosing and refuses even to identify those who have declared war on us. … He says Guantanamo Bay is a recruiting tool for terrorists. What is a recruiting tool for terrorists is having a commander in chief that projects weakness. [emphasis added]

It’s one thing to say Obama’s policies are a recruiting too. It’s another to write that the President himself is a recruiting tool for terrorists.

Does Coffman really believe that the “real recruiting tool” is the President of the United States?

There is more danger now in this country from right wing militia thug terrorists than from ISIS-inspired terrorists.

  And they make common cause in hating democracy and wishing to install a Theocratic dictatorship in its place, enforced by a reign of terror.

  Eh, I'd say its 50-50. Why Coffman is so afraid of putting terrorist in Florence or any similar facility, that I don't understand. The security guards in those places are a thousand times more intimidating than the skinny pricks Al Qaeda's got.

  That's real talk, CHB. And one's chances of being killed by an accidental or purposeful shooting by a gun are MUCH greater. Like 12,000 times greater.

This is nothing if not giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Review my posts if you wish, you won't find me saying this regularly if at all
