Party Politics, Press Propagandism Commentary on San Diego Mayoral Scandalism, by Lev Six
If you aren’t from San Diego, shut up about the imaginary Mayor Filner scandal. He is fantastic, I’d rate him as 9 out of 10 — one of the best SD mayors in my lifetime. You’re all so educated and fabulous. You are only embarrassing yourself when you spout the bought-and-sold media narrative. I flushed a few “friends” from my list today because their robot-party cards compelled them to spout Big Media propaganda. Go shoot yourself in the face if you can’t think outside the box. I will flush the rest of you without hesitation, so please speak up, there’s plenty of room in the toilet. Stop being a party-bot. Filner is getting assaulted because of his views about jury nullification and his consistent defense of civil liberties. I told many friends that he would be targeted months before this “scandal” occurred. San Diego, you are going to elect a corrupt neocon as a leader because he is gay. You are useful idiots. Freedom Riders, motherfucker.
… I met him at a protest when I moved here. He is genuinely interested in social justice. He is a human so of course he is flawed, but he is an upgrade from the neocon psychopaths who normally hold the office. He is a Democrat in name only and probably the most libertarian big city mayor in the country when it comes to civil liberty issues. He should not only continue to refuse to resign, he should go nuts on his attackers by filing endless lawsuits!
