  1. Tom Gordon says:

    You’ll be hearing from my lawyers.

  2. donviti says:

    I plan on dropping a nice big donviti on your lawn as my going away gift!

  3. liz allen says:

    Tom: some may think badly of you. Some may think the Bush Dept of Justice had nothing to do with your demise. I and many others have always questioned their motives! Yes, I still have the “Eve was framed” bumper stickers…now watch all the so called progresives jump out of the woodwork to take a swat at me!

  4. Von Cracker says:

    Swatting flies with a 30-ton mallet is a conservative condition, not a liberal one. 😉

  5. liz allen says:

    Oh really! And just what organization has “using a swat team approach” to their enemies!

  6. Rebecca says:

    My gosh Liz!

    The “using a swat team approach” needs to be put in context. I was trying to describe a rapid response to events surrounding SB4 in Dover. In no way did I mean roaring in with a belligerent force. You know that, you’re just stirring up stuff.

    Liz, you delight in taking my words out of context and I’m getting tired of it. You’ve repeatedly beaten me about the head because I once made a remark, four years ago, that I didn’t know much about politics in the City and PDD didn’t do much there because we wouldn’t know what to do. It seemed like a reasonable and honest response at the time.

    Lizland is a very scary place. Glad I don’t have to live there.

  7. liberalgeek says:

    And another thing, Liz. That really isn’t Tom Gordon at the top here. You really need to get out more.

  8. liz allen says:

    The name at the top is TOM GORDON! Since I dont have access to the IP’s maybe you know someting I don’t! Some of you are throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks..one of these days some one is going to sue you! If you knew anything about “sources” you should know that you need three.

    And Rebecca, your little group of 8 are not progressive…you digress! The only scary place I know about is the group of 8, who actually think they can destroy any issue they don’t agree with by attacking people (behind their backs)…I am one that will challenge to your face.

  9. Rebecca says:

    Hey Liz!

    PDD meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7:00 PM at DelDems HQ. Join us, I dare you! You might actually learn something about us before you spout off.

  10. liz allen says:

    Rebecca: If PDD was truly a progressive group, you would be supporting single payer health care (as the National Progressive Democrats do and if you go to downwithabsolutes) you can see all those “zealots” who do support nationwide and in Delaware. Your little group decided to go against this progressive/ job saver policy and opted to go with a continuation of the “corporate stranglehold” over our citizens, which continues a “sicko” for profit health care system.

    Your little group have tried to stop/personally attack/ all who have supported it, through “back stabbing”, demonizing the author of that bill, Dr. Floyd McDowell, and your little group began a vicious email campaign against Dr. McDowell.

    Your assumption at the one meeting we had with Karen Peterson, (who we came to the meeting to encourage to run for Governor) was that “people will be running across the borders to sign up for health care”. You had no knowledge on the topic, obviously havent studied the topic, and have done everything you can to prevent this legislation which is the best remedy to keep our jobs in Delaware, to have all citizens in the program, rid our state system of the “for profitteers corporate insurance company and hmos” a plan concocted by Richard Nixon.

    I don’t need to join you, but would if you actually adopted “real” progressive ideas, instead of keeping “corporations from paying a dime into health care” as one Senator has stated again and again.

    When I was running for State Rep. against Hazel Plant, I called you. I had hoped that your group would have at least permitted me to speak to your group, explain the issues I was bringing to the table, but instead I got a quick answer that “your group was not going to engage in Wilmington, because of the politics there”!

    I am not interested in joining another group, I am no longer a democrat but a proud Independent Party of Delaware member. We are a group that is solidly for good government, non partisan legislation, who are not interested in “party” politics.

    I have also heard through the grapevine that some in your group are talking about a “Liz Allen” takedown! How progressive!

    You see, Liz, anyone can put in any name. When words are blue and underlined they can be clicked on. If you clicked on the name, you would see that it was the website of one of our other regular contributors, “Nemski”

    One doesn’t need access to IP addresses or anything other than ones wits to figure it out.

    You have had a hell of a week Liz, you have alienated people from the left, the right and the media. Take the rest of the week off on me.

    Margaritas might be a nice way to spend a long weekend.

    “If you knew anything about “sources” you should know that you need three.”

    If you knew anything about the media, you’d know there’s no such rule. Different organizations have different rules. Many online have no rules at all that I can discern.

  13. liz allen says:

    Al, you are the one who says “ratings” don’t matter. I unlike you were in the media business for over 20 years….ask any reputable reporter if they are obliged to have 3 sources for a story!

    Al, go prepare a show for tomorrow and get off my case. I am trying to ingore you…censorship is not demoratic…I am not listening to your show or WDEL , corporate media…and I do not want to engage you on the blogs…buzzzzz off.

    Liberal Geek: thans for the info, I didn not realize that blue meant it was a joke. Rebecca is in blue…does that mean the person who wrote that is not Rebecca.

    Yeah, I have a had a helluva week…snakes and vipers at every turn…but I am not one to give up or shut up. I have every right to respond to the vipers and alligators….and will do so.

  14. Al Mascitti says:

    I’ve been in the media business for 30 years, you jackass. And forget about that request. I’m going to dog you for the next two years the way you dog WDEL. Get used to it.

  15. Al Mascitti says:

    Oh, by the way, you “media maven.” Blue means it’s a link to the person’s email. Do you realize what a fool you sound like with your “I know everything” routine?

  16. Al Mascitti says:

    And, of course, you once again misquoted me, despite having what I said in print. I said I didn’t care about the ratings, not that they didn’t matter. As accurate as usual, I see.

  17. liberalgeek says:

    I think that I’ll stop trying to teach you how to use the Internet, Liz.

  18. donviti says:

    I blame the jews

  19. Brian says:

    I blame donviti’s handpuppet.
