He kicks off his campaign with a Township zoning issue - surely he's going to run hard-hitting TV commercials opposing wife-beaters in city hall?<BR/><BR/>Why hasn't Eric spoken out? He is not unfamiliar with domestic violence arrests...Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160077681132625582006-10-05T14:48:00.000-05:002006-10-05T14:48:00.000-05:00You are absolutely right, Gary. Anyone who can take off their partisan glasses for just a second will see clearly the double standard of this situation. Where is the Star? Where is TDW (self-proclaimed women's rights advocate)? Where is Julia Carson? <BR/><BR/>And how about this: How did Anderson get past the criminal background checks that are typical of high ranking positions like his? Has Peterson's administration skipped this step in its hiring practices? If so, maybe some more outside checking ought to be done. Or, did Peterson think it was okay to hire someone with such a background? <BR/><BR/>You are right on, Gary. Only the blind partisans could be critical of your questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160061459075531812006-10-05T10:17:00.000-05:002006-10-05T10:17:00.000-05:00<I>or black candidate</I><BR/><BR/>Excuse me?

The venom that's been spewed by a handful of people, most all of them anonymous -- and most who do identify themselves are people who've lost races to Carson, or have an axe to grind with her, toward and about Congresswoman Carson is vile and disgusting.<BR/><BR/>It's so ugly that it's become painful to scan these posts. This blog is in danger of turning into a right-wing-nut-case-propaganda machine for anyone oppossed to Congresswoman Carson, or any other Democrat, or black candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160003281353104632006-10-04T18:08:00.000-05:002006-10-04T18:08:00.000-05:00I have never heard Ms. Carson mention nor heard any gossip about any domestic violence in her own marriages. She has written eloquently about how, as a child, she almost poured a pan of boiling water on the boyfriend who was hurting her own Mother. She has always been an advocate for women and children who have been abused. She does not take the issue of wife-beating so cavalierly as some here do!Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159994161500339582006-10-04T15:36:00.000-05:002006-10-04T15:36:00.000-05:00<I>Julia "does" get involved in city issues...The paper trial is long.</I><BR/><BR/>Ahhh .. putting it THAT way yes .. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159993007886530882006-10-04T15:16:00.000-05:002006-10-04T15:16:00.000-05:00Wilson why don't you talk about Carson's domestic violence in her two marriages.

America was built on checks and balances with a lot of divided government power. Congresspeople rarely get involved in township zoning issues or city personnel issues.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Dickerson will be issuing some sort of news release about domestic violence and city affairs? Right? After all, he does know something about that topic!Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159967181655965402006-10-04T08:06:00.000-05:002006-10-04T08:06:00.000-05:00Take a Valium and calm down, Gary...<BR/><BR/>Do you know all the past details of everyone with whom you've worked? Ever? The standards are admitedly much higher for a mayor's office than in the private sector, and maybe all involved learned a lesson here: ask the question. Deal with it if you get an answer you don't like.<BR/><BR/>I'll grant you, the 25th floor should've known this, and when it was discovered, Mr. Anderson left.<BR/><BR/>It's a reach to think that Julia's drive-by of ED contributed to the departure of Mr. Anderson.<BR/><BR/>I'd want to see all the evidence regarding Mr. Anderson's legal entanglement...but if it is a conviction as reported, he should never have been employed on the 25th floor.<BR/><BR/>Whyich, by the way, does not mean a person cnanot rehabilitate and work somewhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
