Paul I do have to agree with you 100% on this ... How DARE you all (lump ... lump ... lump) compare Doherty or anyone in the administration to what when on in Natzi Germany ... Doherty is not Hitler like and neither is Judy Gatelli ... have you seen what was caused by the Natzi's under the guidance of Adolf Hitler? I'm guessing that you have no clue! So here you go Shari ... a few pictures so you can see that you are not in the same boat as a Nazi prisoner of the death camps!
Oh my god ... did you walk through town Shari and see this?
Here you go ... the children of the Holocaust ... is this what you see in Scranton?
I have said it before ... and I will say it again ... How dare you all (lump ... lump ... lump) compare Scranton to this ...

Shari, in all seriousness, these people (Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin) were responsible for the deaths of millions. To compare a small town hack politician like Chris Doherty to them is to competely and utterly disrespect the innocents that died at their hands. You are wrong for making this kind of comparison.

If you read history and see the actions of these awful people when they started out, they started popular policies, worked to provide what the "people" saw as progress, manipulated the media (and later took it over) to control it, threatened the opposition with their income, posessions and lives and cleansed everything within government that did not concur with their "vision". Obvilously I'm not comparing actions of Doherty to what atrocities those devils did, just pointing out the similarities of the thought process they have/had. I'm convinced if a scumbag like Doherty had his way, unchecked, he'd be a cold and dangerous man. The first thing he did was have us hire a public relations firm to "drive the story". He "cleansed" every prior administration person/company/organization out of city hall, threatened numerous people of opposition with their jobs and if he could have, he would have completely dismantled every department within the city only to replace them with people of similar mindset.The Hitlers, Pots, Amins of the world started out small. Their only desire was the quest for power. Sound familiar?
OMG Sherii!! You have opened my eyes.....quick call in the military! Thank heavens though you are clear about not comparing Doherty to the hidious dictators of the world. That would have made me think you are just a tinsy winsy bit over the edge!!
I don't believe so Aga. But then again, I really don't know him. I just see the similarity and general actions of an oppressive regime. By the way, nice way to make this conversation digress into something it's not. I would expect to see Girl make such a childish statement to struggle with the debate. I guess your a jerk too.
Yeah Ihave, and the Germans kept Hitler in power a long time till we and the allies stepped in and changed things. Consider me one of the allied forces. I'm not waiting around till the next election. Enough damage has been done already.
"Oh wait we did do that and he was re-elected!"
Are you really proud of that?
Ok Shari .... is this your post ... yes it is ... are you the one who made the comparison to hitler again? Yes you are ... so now Aga is childish becausehe asked you a question that you didn't like ...
RE: Antisemitic Movements: Pure Dumb F^%k I don't believe so Aga. But then again, I really don't know him. I just see the similarity and general actions of an oppressive regime. By the way, nice way to make this conversation digress into something it's not. I would expect to see Girl make such a childish statement to struggle with the debate. I guess your a jerk too.
p.s. screw you too!
I do not think and it is only my opinion that someone asking you a question concerning your postings is a childish act ... I am the one who takes these comparisons very seriously I do not think that anyone should be making this particular comparison ... you have not been taken from your home and thrown in a death camp ... Chris Doherty will not be leading any of you to a Gas Chamber ... he will not be performing any type of medical experiments on anyone ... he's not going to yank out your teeth after torturing you to sell them for the gold fillings .... so when you make this comparison ... I happen to think you are going to far ... obviously so do most of the PD posters ...
You need to grow up Shari ... making a statement like that puts you in the highchair darling not Ag.
You don't need to like us here .... when you make a STUPID statement ... these posters will call you on it ... they will ... and I can't help it if you don't like it ... that's life ... Get over yourself!

Let's compare Doherty to this leader. He jailed his enemies, suspended habeas corpus so you cound not have your sentence reviewed.. And instead of a jury by peers you went before a military tribunal. Is Doherty like this leader?

I see! So basically, because the person you didn't want to win the election did, based on the votes cast by the "electorate", you are attempting to overthrow the last election and force out the person chosen by a democratic process? And you think Chris Doherty is the scary dictator? What does this make you? You are attempting to invalidate an election. Wow way to sound like a kook...
Are you really proud of that?
That I participated in a non-violent, democratic process, over-seen by a free electorate, to fill a seat in my goverment? Uhhhhh yes? You do know that we are in the United States right? We have elections. Were do you live? Cuba? Iran? Yikes!

I have not added my two cents to this portion of this topic for a very specific reason. It is none of your business and you should not concern yourself with my reasons.
(That will probably warrant me my very own "screw you")

Wow.
Here's a free clue: none of the people you compare Doherty to were elected by the people in a Democratic form of government. Big difference. If that's lost on you the debate needs to end here. There's nothing anyone here can do to help you.
Shari do you know who the leader is that Flap has described ... here we go time for a history lesson? Does anyone know who Flap is talking about?

I thought this fit here becasue it clearly shows Anti's lack of reading comprehension skills ... if he read the entire thread he would have gotten the answer to his question about signing a hard copy of the petition for the Times Leader ... Wow Anti ...
RE: Make Scranton a Two Paper Town [petition] The goal is 2,000 signatures. The deadline is August 6th. There is a paper petition going around as well. Please don't sign both the paper and election version!
Here is the realtimecounter (or the code if the boardware rejects it): <iframe width='102' height='36' src='http://www.petitiononline.com/signatures.php?petition=newpaper' frameborder='0' scrolling='no'></iframe>
Make Scranton a Two Paper Town [petition] The problem with the petition is that it requires an email address and assumes internet acess. There are many people who both want the paper and are willing to sign the petition online but either don't have the internet, or have access (such as the public library) but don't have an email address.
Any way around the email address/internet access problem? Can people sign a sheet somewhere (or send their name and address via US mail?)?

I find it problematic and discouraging that only 20 or so people signed the online petition when over 100 viewed this post. This says to me either 1.) More ICNers read this message board than people who are against Doherty or 2.) People are afraid, for a variety of reasons, to give out their name and email address or 3.) people don't want a new paper in town. I'm inclined to say the answer is 2, although many ICNers do read this message board.
Can you assure everyone of the integrity of the petition? Can you assure everyone that the names and email addresses won't be used by the ICN to retaliate?

This is going to be a great gauge as to how many actual posters there are. 20 so far. I will wager that the total will hit somewhere around 50. That will be with a few fake names as well. Also, what makes them think that a businessman will asy Hey, you got some signatures that promise me a subscription. Now I must cater to you as my reader base and if I write something you don't like I risk failing on my investment.
Yah right. I thought Joe was making a newspaper. And what about Joe Talamini's paper. Scranton At Large. I give that guy some credit for at least trying. But I find some issues when there is a paper with only one writer. Kinds of slanted dont ya think?
Where I live the news press is very rebulican slanted. It is hard to read it without getting a little mad. It is also the only paper in town. There are 600,000 people in the area as well. So in scranton having one paper is not that odd. Quit bitching you whiny babies.
