Todd Gloria wields the ax, firing most of Filner staff
Perhaps we should thank MeReader for stripping the masks off the sickness in this City. I've been very reluctant to blame anti semitism for the anti Filner frenzy. Nothing like a despicable old fashioned racist rant to let everyone know where the Nazis stand. In defense of the WASP community, anti semitism wasn't used by the propaganda machine. MeReader proves that old fashioned anti semitic hatred exists without propaganda.— August 30, 2013 4:59 p.m.
Todd Gloria wields the ax, firing most of Filner staff
So all the women in Filner's office will be fired. An important breakthrough in woman's rights. One complainer gets the whole office fired. At first, these were the people I wanted to hear from, these were the people, according to Gloria Allred, that Filner treated like meat. Irene McCormack gets transferred. Filner loyalists get fired. They will tell their stories now. I suspect McCormack and the Glorias might not be heroes in their versions.— August 30, 2013 12:15 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
HEY EVERYONE!!!! PERHAPS THEY COULDN'T GET FILNER ON SEXUAL hARASSMENT BEFORE THE ELECTION BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY REAL ALLEGATIONS YET. THERE ARE NO DOCUMENTED CASES. NO PHOTOGRAPHS, NO RECORDINGS, NO EMAILS. THEY HAD A P.I. FOLLOWING HIM, THEY CERTAINLY WERE DIGGING FOR DIRT. THEY FOUND NOTHING. THEY WENT WITH A BAGGAGE CLERK. Perhaps Filner's team didn't talk up DeMaio's homosexuality because Filner supports gay rights, and was fighting for issues, not merely against the despicable hypocrite. Bruce Coons is the best candidate so far. He's someone who might make the developers long for Filner's return. We need to win this election, so I'm waiting for everyone to announce, but at least we know we will go to the polls able to vote to save Balboa Park.— August 29, 2013 1:09 p.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
Let's be realistic, right now the left needs a candidate. If we don't find one, we get Nathan Fletcher, Kevin Faulkner or worse. Lori Saldana seems so much better than these. Whoever runs will be deeply flawed at best.— August 29, 2013 1:33 a.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
Lori Saldana, or anyone that the left can agree on can win. Special City elections can often depend on the union vote. Turnout might be very small.— August 28, 2013 6:59 p.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
Before we imagine a Wankergate that would take down our entire City government, we should remember that Ben Hueso alone knows precisely what he saw, and that was likely limited to glimpses, even if it was obvious. Years ago he made his decision not to pursue this. This is not the bridge to fight on. I think we can win on the issues. We know that people really want someone to stand up to the development juggernaut. We need a candidate who will turn the focus back to community planning.— August 28, 2013 5:56 p.m.
Hueso, Emerald reconfirm statements on DeMaio behavior
He might have claimed a medical condition, priapism or something, that would have looked bad but been innocent. Young men have their embarrassments. He might have said Ben Hueso was confused, imagining he saw something he did not. But Carl DeMaio decides to call Ben Hueso a liar. Never attack a reluctant witness.— August 28, 2013 4:19 p.m.
DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported (updated 8/26)
Everything alleged has been done to me, and in turn I did most of it to others. I can't condemn the accused behavior as immoral without being a hypocrite. He made mistakes, he trusted and was betrayed. We should remember that people pay real money to get close to congressmen and mayors, the accusers had reasons to get his attention, He was a fool to be hooked by these women, phonies every one, but no one should pretend they didn't bait the hook. I only read Cosmopolitan in doctors offices, but even at a glance, I know the point is to spend thousands on advertised products in the dream of driving him wild, getting a date, and getting him into bed. Nearly every one of these accusers get passes every day. They don't report them to the Sheriff usually.— August 28, 2013 10:24 a.m.
DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported (updated 8/26)
Bob Filner' deceived himself, or was deceived, into making passes at single women, who were not his friends. Nothing he is accused of would be morally wrong, let alone illegal, if there was consent. He blundered, he wasn't careful, he underestimated evil. But the more the scandal unfolded, the more sunlight that was cast on the allegations, the more empty of malice Bob Filner proved. Bob Filner was never accused of forcing any woman to have sex with him by abuse of his position. No one is alleged to have suffered professionally as a result of refusing his advances. He's accused of nothing reprehensible Mr'. Bauder, from where I sit.— August 27, 2013 4:59 p.m.
Progressive trumps retrogressive
Tallis could be considered the beginning of English music, if you are ignorant of the English music before him. When calling Walton retrogressive, critics meant old fashioned. Music from the 1940's is all old fashioned now, we can choose for ourselves which old fashioned music we like. But when critics said they had heard it before, it's because they weren't ignorant of the music before Walton. Keep listening and be more careful.— August 27, 2013 9:17 a.m.
