aram, This post of yours is why you need to elevate your posts and why after 4,381 of them your comments are quite pedestrian now. Here is the significance and the adverse impact of Freman's folly: 1. He is looking like an wannabe celebrity on the soul of a icon 2. The core of his campaign has been about the lack of judgement and immoral compass of the mayor 3. the one day where detrioters came out into the streets for respect and love and he exhibits a petty agenda.. his stunt offends that moment for all detroiters 4. his complete meltdown and lack of judgement and his now willingness to used children as a leveage to disffuse his mistake really offends folks. 5. he promised in one of the debates he would not embrassed the city he already has and he is not even the mayor yet!!! | ||

On the Rosa Parks Funeral speakers thread there was tremendous support for Dumas & Co. turning the funeral into a political orgy. It was right, fitting, extraordinarily great because Mrs. Parks was a supremely political figure, her struggle was political, etc. So, in the face of those arguments, the people standing outside (with no view of the political figures inside) requesting Hendrix autograph their funeral programs to amplify the historic political funeral seems to be fitting and proper. Only the McPhail operatives, revving up their usual histeronics, perceive a problem. | ||

"motorcitymayor2026" cannot focus his pathobiolic mind-set to comprehend the symbolic value of Mother Parks. To speak her name___that is to make a point___ is to invoke her presence as a metophor for insight and wisdom, as a caustionary tale against an uninformed obsession wit' tha' past. And in the case of Mrs. Kilpatrick's speech ___it was respectfully, a eloquent way to appeal to Mother Parks symbolic presence to warn all pre-tenders to the Mayor's throne that they would have to move to the back of the bus. "Motorcitymayor2026" you are a perfect example of how 'y-t' often savages the splendor of black life through crude hyperbolization. And if you are Black(which I doubt it)---you are a perfect exmple of a "happy darkie" __ yeah, one that wants no trouble and will do what-ever it takes to remain in his cozy digs'.

"Helmut is worried. His last opportunity at reaching out is to attack the mayor instead of asking for a vote." A sure sign or desperation for a candidate that was supposed to be a shoe in - Brian 11/06/05 Brian, another classic stupid statement on your part. First it sounds like you are advising Hendrix on what he should do to defeat the mayor. Then you make it sound like this is what Hendrix has been doing all along. Which one is it, Brian? How can Hendrix have been been attacking the mayor before your recommendation that he attacks the mayor? Clearly, Brian, you didn't put any real thought into your last post. As usual, you are so quick to bad-mouth Hendrix that you'll say anything. And as usual, it's something stupid. Brian, at least you're consistent. | ||

Helmut supporters are consistant in their name calling. Why has this been allowed to carry on when others like myself do not call names on anyone here at this site. Is there bias at play? Perhaps a list should be posted to show which derogatory remarks can be used against other posters and which are prohibited. Royce, you attack my post but do not offer the better alternative. Clearly you support your Helmut. If Helmut should lose would you go back and re-evaluate your analysis. I'll guess not. Most likely you will blame Jackie. | ||

Brian writes: "Helmut supporters are consistant in their name calling. Why has this been allowed to carry on when others like myself do not call names on anyone here at this site. Is there bias at play?" Thanks for the laugh Brian. You are the most consistent name caller on this message board. You ALWAYS refer to Mr. Hendrix as Helmut, rather than Freman, the name he prefers and goes by? Why? Because you want to needle him and his supporters. You want to make fun of his name and you do every time you refer to him as Helmut. My grandfather's given name was Archibald. He hated it so nobody ever called him that. Instead they simply called him by his middle name. Same as Mr. Hendrix. So you can go on about all the supposed hendrix supporters who are name callers, but you're the biggest and most consistent name caller on this board. And by the way, which poll is going to come out tomorrow with Freman tied or trailing KK? The one by channel 4? Did you know the channel 4 pollster's wife works for the KK campaign? | ||

ILD, anybody with half a brain can figure out who is racist by how they post. And somebody who posts "black-atcha" is probably black, don't you think? Duh. Also, if you read people's posts over a period of time, you can often tell a lot about them. So I think the word you are shooting for is perceptive, not ignorant. I am probably one of the least racist people on this forum, which is why I get frustrated when others use race or try to further their own race at the expense of the other races. For your information, you dummy, I CHOSE to move into this minority dominated city five years ago. If I had a problem with "these people taking over the city," I wouldn't have moved here. | ||

Hey Lowell, what happened to that big lead and 12% undecided????

Poor Devin Scillian (WDIV) looked like he wanted to cry when the actual numbers were reported. Even the talking-heads on WXYZ appeared to be stunned. Was that because the media thought they could control Black Detroiters with sensationalistic PROPAGANDA and contemptuous SLANDER??

So when it narrowed down, you had to (forced) to make a choice; but please don't try to blow smoke up my ass about supporting the Kilpatrick Team. I don't deal with wannabees ..... gay, straight, or other!! Methinks you get the action of casting a vote and attending a party confused with real support ..... Go figure!! and YES, I was there at the RenCen too. Spoke with Sharon & Denise, while hanging with some mayoral staff before their 11:00 individual news conferences. No hugs from the big fella, but a healthy, hearty thank-you and handshake for my work. We'll talk later ..... go figure! Black-atcha ..... not a politician or ass-kisser, just a worker | ||

Agreed that EPIC MRA polling has to be called to task for that poll. Not only did the drop the ball in '01 fell flat on their face on this one. Well they were almost right on Hendrix but even if the entire 12% broke for KK [impossible] they still missed by another 3 points. At the time the poll came out all other polls had been trending toward KK and this was a total and large quirk in the opposite direction, almost enough to get conspiratorial thoughts. I would think the days of Ed Sarpolus as a local talking pollster guru head are over. EPIC/MRA weren't even close and left egg not only all over their face but all over the media who bought into them. | ||

For weeks, I've been questioning EPIC MRA's ability to obtain a reliable/representative sample of likely voters by using a telephone survey. Many Detroiters no longer use traditional telephone connections, prefer cell or internet phone, don't answer the phone with the assistance of Caller ID, or simply don't have telephone service. This is no way determines their likelihood of voting or discounts them as being counted as a "typical" voter. I'm also curious to know what questions were asked as part of the survey and how they were worded. Bias in the wording of the survey may have lead to misleading the results. Now that the survey results have been proven invalid, it will be interesting to see how EPIC MRA will handle these types of polls in the future. | ||

Royce, when Helmut begins to post on this forum and then asks that we call him something other than Helmut, I will stop calling him Helmut. I thought the rules applied only to those who posted on this forum to allow for a 'civil' discussion. But I guess if you want to define calling someone's post stupid as different than calling a poster stupid then that is your definition. Its still something I have never done in all my years posting. Rasputin, good summary, And totally accurate! Betcha Helmut feels low, mighty low. Maybe he should have made a speech on the church steps instead of sign autographs. If he made his own memorial speech and described how they would not let him speak with the others inside I bet he would not have been butchered with the citicism. But his azz thought he was walking into office and so did his supporters. They talked more shit than Sharon and KK times two. | ||

Brian, Would you have criticized Freman if he had refused the request of the school boys who wanted his autograph? | ||

Helmut needs to remember where he is, a Black city. We take memorials/funerals/etc. seriuosly and because it was Rosa Parks it raised the stakes. All he had to do is invite him and his daddy to a special event. He could have talked to them for a few minutes and let them know that it was not the time or the place. OR Helmut could have did it through his people so it would not seem like he was doing it. Helmut needs to learn discretion, but after his actions in this community as he arrogantly attends community events, folks finally learned what he does and how he thinks. Helmut should have won with the disatisfaction of KK, but he let his lynch mob go to far and he never acted like a true leader, his own motto. Also after Sharon endorsed KK the race was over as Helmut's numbers continued to go down and never went back up. |
