I'm not sure what anonymous is waiting for people to do to Joe Stanley to "hold him accountable". Nor do I know who is supposed to be doing it. Frankly, I don't care. Most Virginians, Democrat or Republican, haven't ever heard of the ODBA or Joe Stanley. This is just typical adolescent sniping that you see all the time on the web. Time to move on, guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-12923828876748109772007-08-31T13:11:00.000-04:002007-08-31T13:11:00.000-04:00There is more to the ODBA than the SWACers. Peopl...There is more to the ODBA than the SWACers. People want to attribute all of the worst acts to the group even when they were committed by people who aren't members. The problem is, Joe Stanley went out of his way to promote child rape at the expense of a group of 25+ private citizens who had done nothing to him or his candidates except post videos and the facts. If he had done this during the Waldo spat, whatever. But he did this after YouTube videos showed a candidate he is working for in a bad light. This was his response to factual information and it is uncalled for. Stanley needs to be held accountable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-42021619724002009642007-08-30T19:16:00.000-04:002007-08-30T19:16:00.000-04:00"are" helpful"are" helpfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-85859123376707881052007-08-30T19:14:00.000-04:002007-08-30T19:14:00.000-04:00Nice post.

Common decency?<BR/><BR/>Sorry anonymous, but no one outside of the ODBA's membership buys it that this tempest in a teapot is really about common decency.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, speaking of common decency, John Q. Public is too busy laughing at the denials of Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) to pay much attention to lame attempts to tarnish the supposedly good name of the ODBA.<BR/><BR/>Nor do people in the real world care about an amateurish political cartoon that appeared on a flier last summer.<BR/><BR/>It’s just not news to anyone that there are obnoxious Republican and Democratic bloggers who act like brats and delight in annoying their opposites.<BR/><BR/>When bloggers post well-written comments about issues and politicians, they can have an effect on public opinion. When bloggers who can’t write a lick rant on and on about what other bloggers are doing, John Q. Public simply goes back to ignoring blogs.F.T.

Joe Stanley associated the group with a bunch of pedophiles merely because they posted factual accounts of Roscoe Reynolds's record. His registration of the domain name and the redirect happened right when his connection to the campaign was revealed. No attacks were made on Stanley, only facts pointed out that he was the same man who made the Macaca video (though not the event, you are correct) and pushed the Harris Miller flyer that many have felt was anti-semetic. What was Stanley's response to these points? Not a defense of his actions, not even a counter with any other facts. No, he tried to associate the ODBA with an organization that promotes the rape of little boys. That is unacceptable and can not be tolerated and he needs to be held accoutable for the low blow politics he has engaged in.<BR/><BR/>This is not about "revenge". This is about common decency and attempts by Joe Stanley and associates to take the heat off of officials they work for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640358.post-2287479688424643062007-08-30T09:16:00.000-04:002007-08-30T09:16:00.000-04:00Nobody puts Baby in a corner.Nobody puts Baby in a corner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
