I wrote a letter to rebut a letter from a PeaceWorks friend of him and he responded with a long letter defending his friend and his letter. All nice and cordial but the same pushback on all conservative letters.cbarneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494277496891479277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627412041711715960.post-39783109592578794882011-03-02T08:28:16.370-05:002011-03-02T08:28:16.370-05:00You'll appreciate this quote from Mr. McCarthy...You'll appreciate this quote from Mr. McCarthy, found at something called PROGRESSIVE REVIEW, (http://prorevnews.blogspot.com/2011/02/down-east-journal-agenda-worth-copying.html) shared by a Mr. Sam Smith who apparently has been stirring up trouble since the stoned age...<br /><br />The notes of a meeting of the Merrymeeting Greens or something... by way of background:<br /><br />"In place of clicktivism, the Merrymeeting Greens have come up with a League of Brunswick Voters and another group called Vital Connections. Both were created on the principle that communities - of geography or of empathy - are the rock of successful organizing. In many ways it is the opposite of what the corporate world and its emulators think of as leadership. Instead of a few taking power, it involves helping people build their own by coming together. Nelson Mandela knew about it, as he recalled, because he had grown up on a cattle farm. There he learned to "lead from behind."<br /><br />The money quote, from round-the-room introductions, we learn that Jim McCarthy was in attendance:<br /><br />"Jim McCarthy reporting on his 10 years as managing editor and now editorial page editor of the Times Record. He sees the paper as a forum for discussion by way of daily submissions and feels blessed that so many people send letters to be published."<br /><br />I am going to try and dig up one or two of my friends on the Right to see if they want to share their stories about how Mr. McCarthy told them their letters were either not accurate enough, or spent to much ink questioning the accuracy of the letters of others to be deemed worthy of publication.Pajakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110522421355544357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627412041711715960.post-69763244125903943102011-03-01T22:31:35.246-05:002011-03-01T22:31:35.246-05:00Hilarious incompetence.
