Small Town to Liz Cheney: We WANT Gitmo Detainees, Not Your Fearmongering
Source: Huffington Post

Officials in a small Michigan town featured in a new video about Guantanamo by Liz Cheney’s national security group want her to know that they’re not falling for her “fearmongering” — and tell us they want Gitmo detainees in their town.

Cheney’s group, Keep America Safe, has released a short documentary starring several residents of little Standish, Michigan, slamming the Obama administration over a proposal to transfer some Guantanamo detainees to the town’s maximum security facility, one of several facilities being discussed.

But Standish’s City Manager tells us that local leaders and residents want the facility, and dismissed Cheney’s efforts as “fearmongering.”

Cheney is “certainly not representing the views of our community,” the City Manager, Michael Moran, told our reporter, Amanda Erickson.

2. Fear doesn't put food on the table.
And yes, isn't it amazing that that tool of Satan has managed to spawn an equally evil offspring.

3. Send em' to Jackson, Mich! We've got the largest state-run maximum security prison in the continent
Just last year the prison closed down and crippled the local economy even further. Especially noting that maximum security prisons have been in the Jackson area for over 150 years!
