I appreciate your bump-de-bump for my father! ;) Have any of you ever met Greg in person? Quite an unusual character.
Anyone know about Butterfield's background in civil rights?
He was associated with Ben Chavis, former president of the National NAACP.
Bump-de-bump again! I don't know enough about North Carolina politics to answer your questions about Butterfield, but I'm sure that a Google search will dig up the answers you need.
No, I don't know Greg Dority/Mr. Fusion/Jomini. But his fantasy-posts on FR were quite entertaining, even though they went against my pro-Serbian point of view. But I'll keep bumping for your father because I don't want another KLA supporter in Congress!!!!
Here's something from Dority's website that makes a very interesting counterpoint to Mr. Fusion's posts:

About Greg Dority
Greg Dority begins his second attempt to win the First District Congressional seat following a year working overseas in International Development. Greg left for the Philippines a few weeks before the American invasion of Iraq and returned to North Carolina from the Balkans late in November of last year. During that period he worked closely with American foreign policy elements in coordinating and programming US developmental spending.
“It was a fabulous learning experience,” Dority said. “During my time in Manila I was immersed in comprehensive studies of how the multi-lateral banking sector is impacting globalization – which ultimately effects our job environment here in North Carolina.”
With the North Carolina economy suffering tremendous job losses due to current free trade policies, Dority looked to expand upon his learning in the Far East. He was then posted to Tirana, Albania where he worked in programming. “I had spent many years in Albania during the Kosovo and Bosnian wars so I was excited about the opportunity to return there and be involved in Income Generation and Job Creation programming at the grassroots level. This eight month tour gave me hands-on experience in dealing with both the supply and demand ends of job creation in the 21st century globalization environment,” Dority added.
Dority is a 1981 graduate of North Carolina State University where he majored in Political Science. He spent most of the 1980’s as Security Director of the ABC News Washington, DC bureau before leaving just before the Gulf War in 1991. During the 1990’s he worked in various capacities within the security field and traveled extensively in the Balkans and Caucuses. Today he is Managing Partner of Sterling Security in Washington, North Carolina.
“Our biggest problem in eastern North Carolina today remains our lack of jobs,” Dority said. “The Democratic party has been a miserable failure in recognizing the impact of globalization and current trade policies on our ability to generate job creation. The Democrats believe the answer to every problem is to throw more grant money at it.”
Dority spends a good deal of time on the campaign trail talking about “Mitigation” – exactly how and why eastern North Carolina must take a new approach to job creation. “Eastern North Carolina needs a Congressman well versed in international structures to effectively negotiate our position in an interconnected world-wide economy. I’m the man for that job.”
“I will bring jobs to eastern North Carolina,” Dority vows.
Dority is a native of Washington, NC where he attends The First Christian Church. He has a daughter in the first grade and notes, “She is a very good reader and like everybody else in the First District deserves a chance for a good job and future in eastern North Carolina. Unless we have a change in leadership, she and thousands of others of our young folks will have to seek their future elsewhere. That is unacceptable.”
