Those discussions have to transcend party (which is why I am so eager for the primary next year when I get a chance to toss my incumbent republican congressperson out of office!)<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-91018823483474645842007-11-05T22:50:00.000-05:002007-11-05T22:50:00.000-05:00To the angry Repbulican you are absolutely right I truly appologize to you if I had offended you. I was just blowing off some steam and us faithful will come together and break bread on these critical issues facing our community. We can disagree but being disrespective toward on another is truly for the ignorant. Once again, I appologize to you as a person and human being.

No individual owns it. The public does, and that's part of what I took offense to in your post.<BR/><BR/>That, and the implied threat. I don't think that has any place in our society.<BR/><BR/>And, if you think calling me a coward or whatever bothers me, you are wasting your time.

Take a deep breath and get over it. I cannot help it that the republican party has screwed up the Country take it like a man, or woman who ever you are, apparently you like many other cowards hide behind anonymous. You must be one of those jackasses that bought one of Eric "Slick sell our community a lemon campaign". I trully believe in the principle of non-violence direct action". We know that there are some problemsf here in our great city, and quite frankly in our Nation. You should take your anger out with our President not I, I am powerless, yet I am bless.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sincerely yours<BR/><BR/>Larry Lamont Ledford (D)<BR/>ps.

That seat does not belong to Julia Carson - it belongs to the citizens of Indiana, more specifically those who live in the 7th District. It's not hers, it's the people's. As well, the district is not yours to turn over - you don't own it. The arrogance of your posting indicates perhaps someone else should either be doing the talking or that someone other than your candidate win in that district.<BR/><BR/>(2) Your phrase "This will be the year of the Activist we got your number..." could be taken as an implied threat. I don't think using such language is wise, frankly.<BR/><BR/>(3) Yes, the issues of the 7th district are important, and they are what should be discussed, not your threats or your poor grammar.<BR/><BR/>ARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13074818360507522122007-11-05T20:20:00.000-05:002007-11-05T20:20:00.000-05:00Poor Larry.

Amos is an advocate for his community but he does not hate whites nor is he a racist....some white people call him that because he makes them uncomfortable in the way that they speak and conduct their businesses and personal lives.

She is a true soldier, who I have the greatest respect for. Many haters have accused Juila of running a negative campaign against Republican challengeg Erik "slick trying to sell our community one of his lemons campaign". Truth of the matter is this. Mr. Dickerson did not address the issues regarding the Seventh Congressional District had he, he could may have well won the race. But like most chickens, he got basted and roasted and serve...let it go black conservatives...it's over and we will keep Julia legacy and will always respect and love her.<BR/> To the next challenges fighting for her post, let me say this. This will be the year of the Activist we got your number and we are ready to address critical issues regarding Indianapolis, and the nation. Just remember republican 10 trillion dollar deficit,and the abandonmen of child care, and the potential bankrutption of medic care, social security. You must face me on these and more issues if you think were are going to turn over the seventh. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely<BR/><BR/>Larry Lamont Ledford <BR/>writer, ActivistAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-53000728293369054002007-11-05T16:31:00.000-05:002007-11-05T16:31:00.000-05:00Amos kept talking about the "purveyors of hate" throughout his show today. The only one I heard promoting hate was Amos. He can't hide his hatred of white people. He kept talking about Julia talking to the "community", which meant black folks only. He acted like Julia only represents blacks and it only matters what blacks think. It's none of a white person's business to inquire into Julia's affairs to hear him talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-59571858817342092272007-11-05T14:18:00.000-05:002007-11-05T14:18:00.000-05:00I just heard Julia on Amos's radio show.<BR/><BR/>Two or three thoughts come to mind:<BR/><BR/>First, no self-respecting journalist would be used as a tool by any politician, regardless how much (s)he likes the politician. Amos refused to disclose where the interview was held, and given what we now know, the location could've been a prime evaluative piece of information for listeners. Failure to disclose the location of a taped itnerview is irresponsible. Amos can scream "racist" all he wants, but this voter would've liked to have known the interview's location. Shame, Amos, shame!<BR/><BR/>And shame on you Amos for looking for racist overtones in the voices of those who criticize our City Council. People are angry because King Ro hated on the mayor long enough to get his wife a job for which she's not qualified, and where she's doing serious damage. Or Monroe's nonsense, which is all self-inflicted. Or Ron Gibson's troubles, which are equally self-inflicted.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Secondly, I've listened to her interviews for over 25 years. That was the weak voice of a seriously ill woman, God love her...<BR/><BR/>And lastly, she says she's waiting until after tomorrow or some unknown time soon, to listen to God and decide to run again.<BR/><BR/>As a longtime listener to her pronouncements, that was surely the voice of a woman who is retiring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-48855673500540146632007-11-05T14:12:00.000-05:002007-11-05T14:12:00.000-05:00Anonymous 1:44<BR/><BR/>You are calling the democrat "gang" as you say too smart?

Her condition is worse than expected.<BR/><BR/>We should expect an announcement after Tuesday. Ironically, the democrats have Andy Jacobs doing radio ads on WTLC for the corrupt officeholders and now Julia Carson on the radio on the eve of the election.<BR/><BR/>They needed to keep her in town to organize the voter fraud machine and other election shennanigans which you will read about after the election on these blogs.<BR/><BR/>The congresswoman is well enough to operate from home to help the Ghetto Mafia retain their power in the city on election day, but she is too ill and can't go to Washington and cast votes for the 7th District.<BR/><BR/>She does not need to run in 2008.

Some things are private. However, if so, she should resign and get the help she needs.<BR/><BR/>I doubt it is as a result of substance abuse. She's not young. She has been overweight much of her life...not obese, perhaps, but definitely not thin. She has had diabetes problems for years, and a heart condition for at least 12 years.<BR/><BR/>I hope she can get well. But this kind of specualtion only happens because her staff, probably at her direction, releases nothing, or, if they do, it's late and incomplete. <BR/><BR/>As noted earlier, we've seen the inside of Katie Couric's colon, for cryin' out loud. We can all endure a little more details about Julia's health, without infringing on private aspects of her medical condition(s). <BR/><BR/>In the absence of some truth, rampant speculation is promised.<BR/><BR/>And the sad truth is, if she were the challenger, as she once was, and the incumbent were withholding this kind of information, there would be whisper campaigns and all kinds of shenanigans afoot about ehr oponent. That's the way her crowd operates.<BR/><BR/>It's all so sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-36711938902361672162007-11-05T09:04:00.000-05:002007-11-05T09:04:00.000-05:00I just wonder if it will be a remote from her bedside?<BR/><BR/>Or will she call into the studio?Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-68412538064926512122007-11-05T09:00:00.000-05:002007-11-05T09:00:00.000-05:00I don't want people to take this wrong but I would like to know if Julia Carson's health condition may have been brought on by substance abuse.<BR/>I don't want to start a war but I do think it's the public's right to know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-53966061415526877062007-11-05T08:53:00.000-05:002007-11-05T08:53:00.000-05:00If she's healthy enough for this, she's healthy enough to get back to work.<BR/><BR/>Question: Will it be a 'voice double' or the real thing?Bart Lieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294734264133374462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-36995764367653916802007-11-05T08:01:00.000-05:002007-11-05T08:01:00.000-05:00I can't imagine she will say anything except go vote.
