Thats right there was no tax increase it was a scare tactic and thats kind of what your doing here. Attacking McClures record tring to scare voters not to vote for the most qualified canidate on the ballot. Good luck with that since it worked so well with the Gracedale campaign.<br />Willard YomanskiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-68560285065642623652013-03-13T16:18:24.406-04:002013-03-13T16:18:24.406-04:00"the blather of anon 10:25"

I fin...I responded to the point attempted at 10:18. I find it interesting that in the two comments that follow, no attempt is made to counter anything I said. Instead, they move on to more attacks. <br /><br />On 3/6, the Fake Rev allowed a vicious attack at Father Alex on his blog. It is defamatory per se. Despite numerous complaints, those comments are still there, attacking a member of the clergy from Easton's Lebanese community. <br /><br />On 2/28, in a post calling Morning Call columnist Bill White a terrorist and Fabian Socialist, the Fake rev goes on to say, "[W]e now SEE the truth. And what is the truth? In our opinion, it is that "the media" has been bought by the highest bidder, and we all know who that is."<br /><br />Who has bought the media, Fake Rev? <br /><br />On 7/27/12, the Fake Rev writes, " Most would probably be shocked to find out that Barack Obama is a Fabian Socialist...but he is - just telling the TRUTH."<br /><br />Lamont McClure is proud to have the support of this group. So he says on his own web page.

Your other buddies Stoffa and Callahan would sell them off to the higest bidder.<br /><br />So go ahead and spew your hateful disinformation. Anyone who is crazy enough to take a nut like you seriously is beyond reaching anyway. You were targeted by the Callahan klan as part of their gameplan from day one, you poor schmoe.

So did Danny Cohen, Gary Asteak and numerous others of Jewish persuasion. <br /><br />I did not think of these people in that way until you brought it up. i thought of them as people. You must think an awful lot about those "semitic" people. <br /><br />Numerous members of Easton's proud Lebanese community were there as well. So was the past president of the Easton NAACP.<br /><br />I have no idea what you mean by my little plan, but if you're referring to the vicious attacks on Father Alex allowed on the Fake Rev's blog, they are still there. Father Alex is a proud member of Easton's Lebanese community, and I have been getting approached left and right by members of that community, asking me who would dare attack a good and kind man like Father Alex, who would not hurt a fly. I then tell them about the Gracedale blog, and how proud Lamont McClure is of these haters. <br /><br />If you're talking about the Fake Rev's claim that I called him an anti-Semite, I have not. I have pointed to his claim that the media has been bought by the highest bidder ("and we all know who that is"). <br /><br />Those are claims made by the Fake Rev as spokesman for COAF. Is he referring to Jews? I don't know. But I do know that the whack jobs who think everyone is a Fabian Socialist tend to think that the Jews own the press. Interestingly, Martinez has never explained what he meant. <br /><br />The Fake, Rev, aka Mario Martinez, and as the COAF spokesperon, has also called President Barack Obama, as well as the Morning Call's Bill White, a "Fabian socialist." <br /><br />Lamont McClure is proud to have the support of this hate group, which should be condemned by the Southern Law Poverty Center.<br /><br />I'm sure Democrats will be thrilled to learn that McClure is "proud" to have the support of a group that considers Barack Obama a Fabian socialist. <br /><br />I'll be sure to write a blog abot t very soon.
