BRONSON: Hate crimes
Yesterday Peter was out in left field, but today he’s done some good reporting. Reporting is not normal for columnists, but that is only way Peter can produce a good column, so stick to your journalist roots, Pete. A side note: The Ms. Paula Dickerson incident was first reported publicly by her father calling into Mike McConnell on 700-WLW.

Three arrested after fight at festival
Taunts, threats, and provocations against people trying to just have a good time will get you nothing but trouble. These "protestors" were alleged to have called people "Mother Fucker", "Son of a Bitch", and called at least one man a "child molester" right in front of his own child. This group at one point allegedly linked arms and prevented people from entering Fountain Square. It is clear to me that one of the motivations of the protestors was to get into fights or arguments and disrupt law-abiding people from having a good time at an event open to EVERYONE. These protestors just do not like having white people living in "their" city. They are not protesting for civil rights, they are protesting for power. They don't have the power, and they want it. They don't have money, and they want it. They don't have the dominant culture, and they want it to be there's. If they keep on provoking people with threats and taunts, they should expect that someone will respond.
I find Nate Livingston to be a liar. I do not think anything he says to be credible. He is the source stating that beer was poured on Amanda Mayes. There is no one else stating such. There have been claims that video was made of the protests. If there is film of all of the claims of protestors, then it should be made public. If they withhold it from the Prosecutor's office they are breaking the law in my opinion. If they are instead going to sue someone, then they are just opportunist scum. Well, they are opportunist scum for many other reasons, so their inaction is moot. If they want the public on their side, release the video of the alleged spitting, racial insults, and beer throwing to the media. The media will air it. If they do not release the video there can be only one reason for not doing so; it shows nothing of what they claim.

GOP seizes on Patton ammo
Ok, if the GOP is going to make this an issue in races that have no connection to Governor Patton, why not investigate all contact with the women suing Patton to see if any influence was used to get her to sue Patton and create a scandal.
Yes, I am reaching, but Mitch McConnell should not be playing politics like this. It is the most hurtful and slimy type of politics known. It is not a surprise that a Republican raised the morality litmus test. Historically, they tend to play morality police when campaigning more often than Democrats. If this type of gutter politics really matters much to the outcome of any race in Kentucky is the real issue. In today’s world of a polarized political paradigm, little changes quickly, unless the candidates running are directly involved. Lies in this case will not make much difference.

BRONSON: Prime-time smut
Peter is not a square; he is a puritan. Peter wants to demagogue every aspect to sex and views on sex that do not reflect his Leave it to Beaver lifestyle. Peter, you are a prude. The term "square" went out of the vernacular when you were less than 10 years old. I would think that Peter wants to live in the mythical 1950's of his reactionary mindset. I cannot grasp this desire for uniformed conformity that Peter regally professes. Peter wants to turn over our culture to the theocratic fascists like Phil Burress of the CCV. Phil Burress and the CCV are the American Taliban. People don't object to that statement, mainly because it is true. When you profess a fascist, theocratic, and oppressive political agenda, I think the parallels to the Taliban are self-apparent. I guess Mr. Bronson thinks showing a little ankle is risqué enough to separate him and the CCV from the Taliban. Those small differences are not enough to soften the steel-toed rhetoric from the CCV. I think Peter should just turn off John Ritter's show and turn on FOX News. He will get plenty of right wing opinion there to even quell his needs.

Culture War With B-2's
This is not Cincinnati related, but it is a must read for everyone. All of the conservatives will hate it, but it speaks truth. Dowd is good, very very good.

Livingston out on bond, back to protesting
I did not see Nate when I was there. Though, he is easy to miss. With Nate’s in and out of jail routine getting more frequent, I wonder is he trying to smuggle stuff in? He’s a jackass, but I did know there was a possibility he was a mule as well.

Suspect to face judge he protested
Ah, now this makes sense. Terry Summers, aka "The Delegate With The Black Fist", appears to be the same person who regularly calls into 1230 the Buzz with the name "The Delegate." Summers regularly makes bigoted and racist comments on that station with impunity. The group he claims to be with ("The Black Fist") is a black separatist group and a hate group. Is Ken Lawson the official Lawyer for "The Black Fist?" Lawson must be laughing at these idiots on the inside or in private. If he really supports their cause, then Lawson must support their racist beliefs and their separatist movement, thus making him a racist and black separatist. Lawson could instead in public be supportive of them because it gains him media attention for doing so. It is a PR plus for him and instills his "credibility" as a fighter against the "white power structure", what ever that is supposed to be. If Lawson truly wants to help Mr. Summers, he would seek to have him examined by a shrink, and possibly force him to be institutionalized.
