Mario you had indicated that you would post here about Congressman Pallone's response to your inquire [sic]regarding the statement he made about Asbury Park. Did he ever respond to you? I could choose to see the above as a "monkey question" and ignore it. Instead, I'll label it a "leading question" and respond with a few of my own: 1. Did you ever send the $100 check to the veterans' organization? See messages at _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/18471_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/18471) and _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/18492_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/18492) . 2. Did you ever make a retraction or an apology to Keady? See _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/19616_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/19616) 3. In last week's column, you referred to the AP Chamber of Commerce as "Bastards," "Communist Heathens," under "an idiot spell" of "witches," guilty of "Politically Correct bullshit," and you threatened to spit in the eye of anyone wishing you "Happy Holidays." A. Did you intend that column to be a model of the "Judeo-Christian" values which you claim progressives lack? B. You ended that column with "Praise Jesus." How is that different from the Islamic fascists who shout "Praise Allah!" to justify violence, verbal or otherwise? C. If you intended that column to be amusing, weren't you aware of the commandment "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain"? D. Aren't you aware that "holidays" comes from "holy days"? 4. You always defend the rights of anonymous posters who, coincidentally, always seem to agree with you although on a more intemperate and vicious level: an intriguing connection. (A leading statement not unlike those you make in your columns: e.g., Zinn, assassination, Keady; e.g., Hitler, secular school boards; et al.) ========================================================= Re: Pallone Who was the reporter, Tommy? And where is it recorded? Lots of quotes in the Press article. Not one mention of the sensational sentence you used in your column! No red herrings. The reporter and where recorded? You repeated the quote twice in your column for shock value, so I'll repeat my questions for emphasis too: Who was the reporter? Where is it recorded? _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/19470_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/19470) You printed the following as a direct quote, i.e., the exact words of Pallone: "I'm not going to bat in a city where I don't have a good relationship with the mayor." How about these for leading questions? Does this say more about our mayor than it does about the congressman? What are the details about that poor relationship? Did the congressman get the same treatment from our elected officials as Councilman Keady gets? Final leading question: I voted for these city officials, but see where your provocations push people like me. I'll buy a round of drinks on the day those officials formally distance themselves from your tactics. Happy Holidays ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Mario: Pallone Response?
