I continue my fascination with the comments section of the AZ Daily Star.

Today is a good one, since they ran an article on DA Morales’ effort to recall

Superintendent Hicks.

Rumor has it that David A. Morales is a closet queen. I wonder if that story will ever break? There are those living down south that can attest to Morales’ perversions. Where’s the investigative reporting? Or does that stop when there is a negative report on one of the medias own darlings…literally and figuratively speaking.

Hey ADS do a story on David A Morales. Does he have kids in TUSD. How has he employed himself all these years, dig up all his radical statements and associations.

Lets run Morales out of town and let real leaders like Hicks keep doing his job.

Mr. Morales, You sir need help. Your one sidedness and biggotry are starting to show. Just because you did not get your way, which is apparently the only way according to you. You want to recall people who don’t agree with you? You can seek proffesional help for that affliction or you can move to another city. Maybe LA. Get a life and don’t align yourself with loosers and crybabies. It makes you look like a fool.

Mr.Hick’s has my families vote also. And when this farce is over and Mr. Hick’s keeps his seat on the TUSD board. Who next will these FOOLS go after. CRYBABIES!!!!!!!!!!

Abie Morales is nothing more then a racist who happens to spew it with his blog…. he preys on innocent and impressionable children in TUSD…. he is such a perpetual liar that believes if you repeat the same lies over and over that it somehow becomes fact….
I suspect Mr. Morales has begun this effort because all the courts have, to date, rejected the claims of supporters of MAS, and he is acting out his frustrations. One of the fascinating psychological aspects of this issue is the way Mr. Morales and his handful of supporters are engaging in a neat little bit of projection. Mr. Hicks has never been the one to refuse to work with the complete spectrum of constituency groups concerned with issues related to TUSD. That has been the role played by Mr. Morales and the rabid ethnic nationalists he aligns with who continue to clamor for the reinstatement of the MAS classes as they were.

Rich, excellent post. This isn’t about Mr Hicks, its about LA RAZA regaining a foothold in TUSD pure and simple. You are right about Morales being a bully. He is worse than a bully using his position to pander to one specific group of people that want to continue to play the race card and are taught how to be modern bigots.

Mr. Morales is nothing more than a bully who uses intimidation and name calling to keep reasonable people from speaking out against the fringe radical ideology he supports. Those of us who have been around for a while have seen this behavior before from extremists on both edges of the political spectrum. The best thing to do with him is ignore his rantings and go about our business. I believe Mr. Hicks will not be bullied, and he will continue to work in the best interests of all of TUSD’s students.
I think I will start reading the Arizona Daily Independent the first thing every day.

All of which lead me to read this much ballyhooed Arizona Independent ( which was new to me) and this comment:

When they want to KILL us,why should we not return in kind?
Because racial mongrelization of the white race is the death
of the white race!

Ad augusta per angusta

Stay classy, Tucson. And don’t pollute our pristine media with Doonesbury.

Back in the dark ages of TC.com there were a couple of vicious right wing bloggers who loved to post their rants but simply couldn’t deal with oppositional opinion, and would routinely delete any comment they disliked.

This is why I requested the ability to blog myself, in order to respond to such cowardly behavior.

Well it looks like we have a new one who deletes opposing opinion so, since I am now an official “blogger”, I have the opportunity to continue the discussion should the blogger seek to do so rather than just delete opposing comments.

The blog in question is ironically titled, no doubt, as Moral Uprising

Should one follow it, one will shortly reach the point:

Yes, I agree. You fail to understand.
I was responding to your statement of, “Repubs and libertarian types are comfortable with only the rich having food and medical care, and the poor dying”.
BTW, I want the same type of Government that the Founders of this Great Nation wanted.

What you will not see is any reply, such as:

You mean the one with the slaves and females as chattel and only propertied males having a vote ?

Because it has been deleted. Twice.

So now if Mr Spendlove ( is that ironic too ?) would like to continue the discussion of his ideology without censorship, I offer him the opportunity.
