Politicians taking message online via e-mail
Email should be used more bad candidates, but the line between Spam and legitimate email is thin. Hagen will need more than email to get his message out, but this is a great way to keep the activists informed about an issue and mobilizes them with a common message when needed. Email lists are a growing means of communication and notification that remains semi-secret, allowing covert information from being made public directly.

Jay Love Joins Hate Group?
Love's On Air Attitude is Either a Radio Stunt or an Act of Bigotry
On today's edition of the Jay Love Show on 1230 the Buzz, Jay with a very slight joking lint in his voice professed his endorsement of the Boycott and his "enlistment" into the "Black Fist," a local black separatist and hate group supporting the boycott. Jay's three-hour rant was troubling. Well, it was more than troubling, it was disgusting. Jay was promoting the abandonment of peaceful protest and instead has embraced the use of confrontation, taunting, threats, and intimidation. Jay applauded yesterday's protest at Oktoberfest where protesters tried to make people feel "uncomfortable." I guess Jay feels that taunting people with swear words, calling them racists and bigots for being white, and making baseless allegations of criminal actions are justified measures that are supposed to change people’s minds. The only thing it will do will be to make people fear you or make people hate you. If you want to be hated and feared Jay, then keep up that kind of protest. You will get that, along with violence. Hate and fear breeds violence. Jay is promoting the intentional instigation of violence. It appears Jay thinks the only solution to the problems of "blacks" is a race war.
Jay was "impressive" with the level of bigoted statements he was making. His statements that Oktoberfest was filled with "hoards of racists" and that they were all engaged in drunken behavior was a very vividly clear example of bigotry. What will still never cease to amaze me is what Jay and the rest of the Buzz can do. They can have on racist groups, give them an open forum, and then even joke with the racist group members about joining their group. If Cunningham or McConnell did that with the KKK or a Christian Identity Group, they would be called every name in the book, and run out of town on a rail. Jay Love would apparently be happy to have over Kabaka Oba, a known black racist, for dinner at his house, but would never want a white "bigot" over to eat, because he does not like that kind of person. The hypocrisy is almost to thick to cut with a buzz saw. It instead might just be really thick bullshit being laid by a rich kid trying to relate to the fellas from the hood.

Ministry to gays draws protests
Disputes within specific religions normally get little attention from me, but here I see the stench of far right Roman Catholics. Most of the time the far right Christians are the fundamentalist Protestants, but the Catholics have their own jack-booted wing to cause trouble. Persecution of homosexuals is nothing new for Catholics, especially local Catholic radio talk show hosts who specialize in outlandish stunts that are meant to entertain, but just bore the average person to tears.

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.
