Village Idiot of the Day, May 18, 2009: truck665, febthur, recon

The Gano Family Saga continues to dominate the Village. The condo board, after a lot embarrassing print and TV coverage, has backed down and agreed to let the Ganos keep their Blue Star Flag in the window. Of course, this hasn't stopped our Village Idiots from continuing the war against the couple. Despite JFenno, Paul Cook and various minor kvetcher claims that FlagGate is some kind of "far left liberal," "socialist" or "terrorist" scheme to squelch patriotism in Perry Heights, it become more clear that the real issue is HOA politics. (as if it wasn't clear from the start!)

Truck665 once again courageously steps forward to speak for persecuted law abiders at Central Commons Condos forced to live daily with the distasteful and property-value lowering Blue Star Flag and those Gano show-offs:

I really don't think Fox 8 did the Gano's any justice. They have lived here for more then 4 yrs. All they had to do was Put in writing what they wanted to do. But instead of doing that they blew this all up. I cant wait to go and get my GAY PRIDE flag now. I will be putting it up in the front of the condo's too
Fearing the aesthetic repercussions of a flag-for-all in Blandville brought on by the Gano's unreasonable demand, febhur writes:

Glad she's moving, she seems like trouble. I bet the condo board just did that so they could avoid problems and I don't blame them. Everyone's cause is just in their own eyes and you let one have a flag you have to let anyone have a flag. Glad this story is over. Good riddance.

And then there's recon's unique take, one that admittedly never occured to I Hate Canton:

recon

now that the lady that complained about the sign knows what it represents, I am sure it is no longer an issue. I will bet she thought it was the star of David or some other jewish symbol. I would think an Association has the right to tell you to keep your Religious beliefs to your self but not your Patriotism.

Truck655 shouted in again on Condo Board Reverses Course; Flag Can Stay in Window:

GOOD I HOPE THEY MOVE.. THIS WAS NEVER REALLY ABOUT A FLAG BUT ABOUT THE FACT THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE RULES. ALL THEY DID WAS USE IT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RULES.

We really hate to give out ties again, but there is such good material here, I Hate Canton gives in, and awards truck655, fedthur, and recon three blue ribbons for excellence in commentary. Can Pulitizers be far behind?

Coming for truck 655 and febthur!

I Hate Canton has another Village idiocy on a different topic, but will hold it over until tomorrow. More comments may be made on it in the meantime.
