Ping of Pings!

Typical democrat strategy.

[OBone]

Sounds like another Brown case to me.

Rule #1 from the liberal manifesto:  Dissent must be silenced.

 

"It's especially ironic he would have thrown these Daily Cals away just a few feet away from the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement," Lin said.

 

Funny.  I always thought that the right to Free Speech was in the Constitution...

 

Article the third Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Guess I need to get me one of them fancy Berkley edumacations...

Yep, that's Berzerkley, all right. Always screaming about free speech, until that freedom may be to their disadvantage.

"..."Getting rid of the mayor because of this would basically be the same as capital punishment," Worthington said..."

Huh?

What a moron... Did he say this between deep drags on a funny looking cigarette?

[mhking]

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[livius]

Too strange. I realize you can expect just about anything from Dems, but stealing copies of a student newspaper is just so juvenile it's hard to imagine even a Dem trying to do it. But then, they're not grown ups, we all knew that.

[battlegearboat]

What a stupid poo poo head!

When asked by a Daily Cal reporter Nov. 4 if he stole the papers, Bates said, "No."

Ala Clinton.

[modhom]

Ha ha ha! Right on!

[AppyPappy]

Many political observers doubted Bates would resign.

Of course not. That would imply some degree of honor.

[OldFriend]

It's Bezerkly after all.

[gaspar]

Professional politicians of the Dem stripe never resign. Bates was Cal State assemblyman for twenty years, and his wife, Loni Hancock, also a former mayor of Berkeley, was a Clinton appointee to the DOE.

"He was very exhausted from the election, getting very little sleep, and he just blew it," Spring said. "He let his emotions take over."

Undoubtedly Bates was tired at the end of the campaign, but that sort of thing doesn't change one's character, merely reveals it. More damning than the act itself is the fact that he is prepared to hold an office he cheated to get. Bates is unfit, period.

"He was very exhausted from the election, getting very little sleep, and he just blew it," Spring said. "He let his emotions take over."

oh....in that case....

[Grampa Dave]

The rats in charge of Berkley continue to violate the first amendment rights of those who dare to oppose them.

If they could get away with it, they would send their SS Walfen shock troops into the Cal's printing room and destroy any dissent before it hit the racks. Then those writing the dissent articles/editorials would be never be heard from again.

[livius]

What a stupid poo poo head!

LOL!

[fella]

"Bates accepted responsibility for the whole thing,"

As an elected official he should have the 'book' thrown at him as an example. But we all know the system doesn't work that way especially for RATS.

[lavaroise]

This is public goods property, the guy should be in jail right now.
