With good reason, you could call I Hate Canton lazy. After all, we've been gone for quite awhile. But, today, as we peruse daily comments from our Reppies-- and have an assortment of Villagers to chose from -- we are still struck by antiunion1's total idiocy as he continues to defend his anti-American policy of shopping foreign-made, as long as it's not union. At least dssteellman1 admits to shopping online as a way to stick it to the Stark County Taxman, though we doubt ds is particularly pro-union. As a matter of record, IHC shops online, too, mostly for convenience, but in day-to-day transactions tries to buy local. We particularity appreciate a nearby locally owned beer, wine, and cellphone store. Tax never occurred to us. Fast booze does.<br />
<br />
Here we have antiunion1's two latest:, We are posting them in reverse order, to give a better picture of anti's pathology.<br />

<i>See if you really know me , i just dont buy from korea or china or even
japan.... if you read my comments well i dont buy union made items! I
own a kia today is because there is no non union made car company in the
us (notice: kia even built a plant here in the us and i wont buy from
it)...i do buy american made items as long they are not union made...i
buy all the time from the internet and from companies across this
nation. So i do support my fellow non union worker...again...I SUPPORT
MY FELLOW NON UNION WORKER. (i do research and if that company is non
union i buy from them....ie walmart target etc.)<br /><br />Unions are the
destruction of this nation and is why china is becoming the super power.
American union workers are the greed of this nation and its becoming
destroyed becuase of it therefor i will not and will not buy union items
from this country!</i></div>

On one hand, he, most likely desperate for a job, took one at Walmart and now considers himself a Walton family member. (Perhaps antiunion1 was abandoned as a child). On the other hand, he wants the rest of us to be as used, unprotected, and insecure as he is in his chosen profession.. Minimum wage (or a little +) is good. Well-paid workers and consumers are bad. Unless, antiunion1 is a managerial hotshot at the home office, we're wondering how a "sales associate," stocker, and greeter negotiates his individual wages and perks with the Colossus of Bentonville.</div>

Of course, we doubt antiunion1 is a hotshot. One has only to read his posts to note his literacy level: ---at least as far as proper capitalization is concerned. Perhaps he is texting his comments. </div>

Conversely, we are impressed that antiunion1 spends hours researching online each purchase before its made to guarantee the product is untainted by the hands of union moneygrubbers and thugs. We are, therefore, surprised that antiunion1 would choose the<i> Repository </i>for his instrument of communication, since its union. </div>

<b>NOTE:</b> We have been referring to antiunion1 as a he, but we're not really sure. Bruce Hodgkins comes to mind as the creator of antiunion1, but he's too full of himself to go<i> non de plume</i>, and we haven't heard yet what the Catholic Church thinks about unions We suspect he knows, and wont' tell. Women tend to research more than men, and we can't imagine any self -respecting man spending hours trying to deconstruct products for union taint. We'll keep referring to antiunoin1 as the default male until shown otherwise.</div>

We've been gone again, but not without guilt. We've been writing for another venue and looking for a job. But we have a new idiot. We mean a real idiot. He or maybe he's a she, has driven us out of busy schedule for a moment (and hopefully longer).<br />
<br />
Our newest idiot is antiunion1. antiunion1 consolidates the worst attributes of sourdough sal, Bruce Hodgins, mustangman, dssteelman1, ocean, Just S tom, and octapuppet into one truly idiotic Reppie.--and just when we thought nobody could be more idiotic than the usual suspects. <br />
<br />
Yesterday the <i>Rep</i> published a nice letter: <a href="http://test%20them%20all%20%21%21%21%21%21%20if%20someone%20makes%20money%20from%20the%20government%20then%20test%20them/">Best Option: Buy Local </a>from Shirley Tope of Massillon, suggesting that people do their Christmas shopping at local stores, not online. Support the local economy. You know, the local economy that our local haters complain about incessantly. <br />
<br />
Then pops in antiunion1:<br />

After reading Bruce Hodgkins most absurd post yet, we decided to hold up on those belated VIODs and jump Bruce to the head of the line. Bruce, you see, is bemoaning the enactment of child labor laws. I kid you not.<br />
<br />
Here's what he wrote under <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/opinion/letters/x464394171/OWS-is-all-about-redistributing-wealth">OWS is all about redistrubuting wealth</a>.we nearly rubbed our eyes in disbelief.<br />
<br />
<i>Child labor laws, took money away from poor families and established jobs to be taken by union workers. They took the rights of the parent to teach the work ethic to their children, even now a child must get permission from the government to work at McDonald's if the child is under 16.</i><br />

You're more than a Villiage Idiot, Bruce, but since we pride ourselves in being family friendly, we'll leave it at that.<br />
<br />
You Bruce Hodgins, are Village Idiot of the Day, October 28;, 2012. And maybe for the rest of the year. <br />

We're doing some catch-up this evening or should that be this early morning? <br />
<br />
We've long been struck by the pure lunacy of Bruce Hodgkins aka bhodgkins. Mostly, we think of him as a harmless crank in his dotage. He is. But sometimes his obstinacy in the face of truth is just difficult to comprehend. Is he that self-unaware. We all make mistakes. We all mispeak. We all post "facts" on <i>Rep </i>pages which...well, aren't facts. Sometimes we know it. Sometimes we know don't.
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
But what to make of Bruce's statement the other day during a worshipful Ronald Reagan moment claiming that the United States "liberated South Viet Nam." and his refusal to admit he is wrong. We dare say even Bruce's hero, Glenn Beck, would have a hard time spinning that one.<br />

Last we looked, South Viet Nam does not exist as a country. Viet Nam (the unified country) is a "communist country." To the right is a picture taken after the massacre at My Lai. Maybe Bruce means the US liberated the South Vietnamese by leaving THEIR country.<br />
<br />
To the best of our knowledge Bruce never served in Viet Nam, though he's the right age. Perhaps he had something better to do. In fact, he never served in the military at all, though he loves to cheer on the troops as they march on to foreign soil soothers may enjoy the American Way of Life he so enjoys. At least as long as a Republican is in office.<br />
<br />
It's a little belated, but we are thrilled to name Bruce Hodgkins Village Idiot of the Day, October 21 2011. (and for a few days before, too). </div>

Occupy Canton, though, has pulled us back to the rigors of the keyboard.<br />
<br />
Saturday, anywhere from 70 to 150 Cantonians (depending on who you talk to) braved the weather and the slings and arrows of our Reppies to demonstrate their grievances against Big Everything downtown. I wasn't able to attend, so we only have the <i>Rep </i>report and a few scattered<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000311399508&sk=wall"> Facebook </a>comments to judge the event--which sounds like a resounding success for a first try.<br />
<br />
IHC has organized a few protests in our day, and we learned years ago that for every 250 people who say they'll show up, maybe one does. (We once, much to our horror, found ourselves a picket line of one at a grocery store on Raff Road during the Grape Boycott years.) That 70 (or 150) Cantonians came out is practically a work of genius--or a sign of desperation..<br />
<br />
Since we weren't there, we'll let <i>Rep</i> reporter Kelli Young describe the occupation of Central Plaza in her <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x1968432368/Occupy-movement-comes-to-Canton">Occupation Movement Comes to Canton:</a><br />
<br />
<i>Occupy Canton, the local version of the anti-Wall Street movement sweeping the country, brought sign-toting demonstrators to the Central Plaza courtyard — a fitting location considering the surrounding bank and government buildings. Their homemade signs conveyed many of the Occupy movement’s central themes: “Corporations are not people. But we are!” “What American Dream?” “I can’t afford a lobbyist. I am the 99%” and “Remember, remember the 5th of November. The (r)evolution is here.”...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
.<i>..Participants also signed a solidarity pledge that will be sent to local, state and national politicians Monday. The pledge, which had consensus approval, demands: The Supreme Court reconsider the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision that prohibits government from banning political spending by corporations in candidate elections; the banking provisions that separated investment banking and commercial banks be reinstated; the Department of Justice intensifies its investigation of white collar and corporate crime.</i><br />

We got the impression from the article that a good number of the occupation were middle age or retired. You know, the taxpayers who bought the American Dream not realizing they'd moved to Elm Street.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Young's article had hardly left her keyboard when our Reppies jumped in.. Not surprisingly the dirty smelly hippies of Wall Street have morphed intothe smelly, dirty pensioners of Canton..<br />
<br />
<b>Canton's biggest Idiot, Just s Tom, after a few lame attempts at humor decided to simply infantalize the crowd:</b><br />

<b>RobWolf questioned:</b><br />
<i>Where is Rhode's National Guard of the 70's when you need them?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Atomix piped in:</b><br />
<i>I will never understand the term corporate greed. I have really tried to listen and understand but just don't get it. Business is in business to make a profit. A business will use the best resources at their disposal to make the largest profit possible for themselves as well as their investors. Like it or hate it but those with the money create the jobs.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"></span></i>
<i><b>Recon, after writing that he pretty much agreed with the grievances, decided it was a good time to attack Don Cirelli, which led to a long, poorly spaced and worded rant about communists and socialists which included his critique of Marxism:</b><i> </i></i><br />
<i><i> Socialism is the first step in the process of developing the productive forces to achieve abundance and changing the mental and spiritual outlook of the people. It is the necessary transition stage from capitalism to communism. So you see we have far left Liberal nutcases like Donnie that support class warfare he thinks what is going on today is that The middle class is DYING in America and across the industrialized world because of Corporate greed when in fact is is dying beacause of our Corrupt Government-IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CORPORATE GREED </i></i><br />
<i><i><br /></i>
<b>Ted Jackson had a unique solution to our (and we suppose the world's) economic crisis: </b><br />
<i><i>If all the occupy people would just put their money where their mouth is, they would start businesses and pay 'living wages' with 'full benefits' to their employee's. If you truely are the 99% then it shouldn't be hard to gather your resources and lead by example.</i>

I Hate Canton believes that all of these articulate posters deserve at least an Honorable Mention for their intelligent deconstruction of Occupy Canton ,but we don't want to give them all big heads either. Otherwise, next thing you know, they'll be self-conscious writers, rather than letting their natural idiocy flow.<br />
<br />
So, today we'll not only give some newcomers a shot at fame, we cull the herd.<br />
<br />
<b>Honorable Mention </b>goes to Atomix. His (or her, but would a woman call herself that?) for failing to differentiate the really rich (globalists, banksters, and their friends in government, from the simply rich, and the simply rich from the rest of us. Atomix doesn't get it that by really rich standards people like our own Frank Manello are just like the rest of us . Even Frank gets it. Thougoh Atomix probably deserves a higher rating, we are consoling him with an all-expense dinner date with Bev Ballen at the Waffle House on N. Cleveland followed by an all-night stay at the Crown Motel in exclusive Perry Heights. Just get her to her underpaid job on time the next morning.<br />
<br />
<b>Third Place </b>goes to Ted Jackson (and we know who you really are, Ted, and have reported you to the real Ted Jackson.). If we were to follow your suggestions to the T, then we'd all be our own bosses and not have to worry about banks, unions, or bosses.<br />
<br />

<b>Second Place</b> goes to: Recon for his or hers astute explanation of socialism's devastating spiritual affect on the middle class. We also give Recon props for nailing Don Cirelli as the chief strategist of the local Class War. The Politboro has not yet forwarded us its official portrait of Mr. Cirelli, so we are using one of <a href="http://www.georgianbiography.com/bios/b/beria.htm">Lavrenti Beria</a> in the meantime<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>First place:</b> who else, but RobWolf for suggesting the National Guard be called in to finish the job they didn't in 1970. Demanding that the government murder his neighbors because they disagree with the government is The Canton Way. We are thrilled that Rob has the courage to voice his opinion.amongst a sea of dirty smelly pensioners overrunning the city.. Isn't that what Rob's right to free speech is about? Bolstered by this award, we expect great things from Mr. Wolf in the coming weeks.<br />

We hope to be done by the end of the week. And no, I Hate Canton is not one of those deadbeat, over-paid union-sucking government workers Reppies so love to whinge over. Our end-of-the-year just happens to coincide with the state's.<div><br /></div><div>We can't resist, taking a few moments, though, to post a new Village Idiot.</div><div><br />We knew when the<i> Rep </i>published the letter, <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/opinion/letters/x977389990/How-exactly-would-gay-marriage-harm-the-rest-of-our-world">How exactly would gay marriage harm the rest of our world?</a> every nutter between here and Dalton on both sides would send in their two cents. If we had the time, we'd published a gaggle of these posts from people who think that all gays are atheistic Demos, Jesus preferred men, and the United States is on its last legs, due not to running 3-5 wars simultaneously, corporate bailouts, and globalist outsourcing, but because some men prefer the sexual company of other men. </div><div><br /></div><div>No one, of course, has said a word against woman-on-woman sex. In fact, some of our most vehement queer bashers love to imagine women getting it on with each other, particulalry while they watch. As has been pointed out, if it doesn't involve men, then it can't be sex. Or as Bill Clinton put it more specifically, "I did not have sex with that woman." Unless sex involves a penis being stuck in where it belongs, it's not really sex. </div><div><br /></div><div>So much for the unsexing of women.</div><div><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0z07zfHSoUdUt3ZXQvM1g0CbjQKY_9yTaaduMJG_A0BWGjSsbB1UReFwM_WpnHRIPk9Xzm5p02SGKcuFocK9sfsAimwCYhkejjMogC92gwQrMJ9vIwa2BdzGztBehQWEey92TbbeTcjM/s200/video+camera+man.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623344012108803090" />Back on topic, IHC has been delighted with the response to the letter. In particular, the response of Dave Sexton. You remember him. Dave's the guy who chases johns and hos around with a video camera and bullhorn. (Go <a href="http://www.ohio.com/news/ohio-man-gets-state-help-against-prostitution-1.100232">here</a> for a free story; the <i>Rep's</i> "Chasing Hookers" story is in paid archives).</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, it seems Dave not only has an aversion to commercial hetero sex sashaying through his neighborhood (well, we can't fault him much there; the least they could do is move it to a high end brothel in Jackson, away from his delicate video lens), but non-commercial male sex behind closed doors, or worse...the existence of same sex male afficiandos in general. Why Dave would rather leave the country, and even die, than have one of those guys touch him. Seriously.</div><div><br /><b>Dave Sexton</b><br /><i>Excuse me while I vomit.....Oh all better now, what was the subject, oh -sorry I must excuse myself again, apparently just the thought of two guys kissing makes my stomach turn.The modern day Sodomites and there desire to gain acceptance for their wickedness is quite hilarious, but not to God.A country that promotes homosexuality as a 'normal behavior' is a country I would not want to be part of.</i><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTCsRCqZ77BH6GHQV65TdqMV8Tyt4EjwvWK0mtgOUUqU1qtwItu97anFIREW3akVfKgA1CEE2hyphenhyphentKzo7e089MQI4bACqmP_OgLyS5vA4UGwZu4S5zV6qSq6-TwirMD7KE3Pbj1ms0o2cQ/s1600/gay+doctors.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTCsRCqZ77BH6GHQV65TdqMV8Tyt4EjwvWK0mtgOUUqU1qtwItu97anFIREW3akVfKgA1CEE2hyphenhyphentKzo7e089MQI4bACqmP_OgLyS5vA4UGwZu4S5zV6qSq6-TwirMD7KE3Pbj1ms0o2cQ/s200/gay+doctors.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623344283924442834" /></a><b>David Sexton</b><br /><i>Well , if it was a choice of death or being revived by a homo,l would prefer that he stand clear and let things develop as they should.I am ready and willing to meet my maker.Thank you so kindly for your praise of my unwavering commitment to morality.Consistency is the key to almost any door.</i></div><div><i><br /></i>Now, we don't believe for one moment that our otherwise super patriot Dave will abandon the US for <a href="http://gayuganda.blogspot.com/">Uganda</a>, where he could get away with killing a few queers for Christ, and certainly not for one of those poofy European countries.

Surely, while collecting change, he must have touched hands with some gay Walmart clerk.</div><div><br /></div><div>Certainly Dave has a right to his views on same sex marriage, but he's just a little too upset for comfort. Since Dave is willing to die for purity, we've found a special place in the afterlife for him: 24/7 male nurse porn videos made in the Czech Republic. Since I Hate Canton is family entertainment, however, we wont post links here.</div><div><br /></div><div>For being such a What a Man! we award Dave Sexton, the Village Idiot of the Day, June 27, 2011. </div><div><br /></div><div>Also big kudos to Mary Parker for posting the most colorful comment ever to appear in the pages of the <i>Rep:<br /><br />@victorissenguard Victor, everyone and anyone who knows me, knows that I don't see being gay as a bad thing. My mother had many gay friends, all male, so I grew up around gay people. I used to love Saturday nights, watching a gay roomer in our house, put on his drag out fit and I would sit in the bathroom and watch him put on his makeup and wig, and highheels, and just transform before my very eyes from 'Preston' to 'Tracy'. It was almost magical to me as a child.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>We wish we'd been there!</div><div></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>Marley Greinerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15184124024369071862noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727395560103717176.post-46935200698835661552011-06-23T22:52:00.019-04:002011-06-23T23:18:07.919-04:00Bye-Bye Irma Grese!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1j3Dbz9T_IUmZzi7x1ZffLhlWtPkFO8F_j9L0Tz1_Q5hUfwNRY4qLGx_ua7Prv_E_HPkEy6VEhaJjujnl0qdPvjGWxMS1a6TI6tRbd4zacKfUwMLyYTL5mNYl4Fx0Aw16eS-rusYTsHw/s1600/Irma+Grese+3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1j3Dbz9T_IUmZzi7x1ZffLhlWtPkFO8F_j9L0Tz1_Q5hUfwNRY4qLGx_ua7Prv_E_HPkEy6VEhaJjujnl0qdPvjGWxMS1a6TI6tRbd4zacKfUwMLyYTL5mNYl4Fx0Aw16eS-rusYTsHw/s200/Irma+Grese+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621619381433109762" /></a>I Hate Canton had hoped to get more up today, but our real life job got in the way.

A good half of the US population believes that civil rights are downright <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">unAmerican</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">unConstitutional</span>, and well...Communist. We are, in fact, old enough to remember when back in the 1970s, a large prominent news outlet (<i>Time Magazine</i> maybe?) took a national poll on the Bill of Rights. The majority of respondents declared them "Communist." Being a traditionalist, we are elated to see that nothing has changed since then but... is I Hate Canton the only person bored with the Commie meme?<div><br /></div><div>All this is by way of introduction to the curious wire story about the ACLU standing up for the civil right of politicians to march in parades, published in Wednesday's <i>Rep</i>: <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/ohio/x898079579/ACLU-warns-Ohio-cities-about-4th-of-July-parades">ACLU warns Ohio cities about 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> of July parades</a>:</div><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">The ACLU says the Cleveland suburbs of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bedford</span> and Shaker Heights and the Columbus suburb of Dublin allow only incumbent office holders to appear in their parades.

We haven't seen Campbell since Gatehouse-facilitated cranky handles became socially acceptable,<i> </i>though as you'll see below, we've thought he was lurking under a <i>nom de plume</i> all along.<i> </i> Then on Wednesday, Campbell popped up as the author of a Letter to the Editor: <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/opinion/letters/x832286742/Obama-is-anti-American-and-should-be-kicked-out-of-office">Obama is Anti-American, and Should Be Kicked Out of Office</a>.<div><br /></div><div>We won't post the entire letter here , but it's so wall-bouncy Campbell makes Bruce Hodgkins look sane.

He was released the Ross Correctional Institution on May 17, 2010 on his stated prison term set by the court. His actual release date would have been May 20, 2011--the day of the beating. Guess he was out celebrating. </div><div><br /></div><div>The<i> Rep</i> reports that Johnson served time for aggravated robbery in 2000 and for two counts of felony theft in 2007. Anderson did time in 2001 on coke possession, 2004 for weapons under disability, and 2008 for felonious assault. Neither appear in the current offender database</div><div><br /></div><div>Warrants for felonious assault have been issued for both men.</div><div><br /></div><div>Police ask anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Johnson and Anderson to call Detective Terry George at 330-438-4439.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, we do not have any information on the customers who couldn't be bothered to help a beaten bleeding, unconscious man (or at least act in a decent manner) or we would post their names and addresses here.

Just a few comments about something we'd like to see more of at the <i>Rep</i>: experimental comment writing--not to be confused with posting while drunk.<div><br /></div><div>But, first, does it seem to you as it does to I Hate Canton, that some of our Reppies tipple a bit before they hit their keys?</div><div><br /></div><div> In real life, IHC has witnessed this phenomenon in the field in which we work. One regular poster to several forums and blogs we frequent, likes to hit the bottle on Friday nights--and you can always tell. Sometimes she returns in the morning and nukes her posts--especially when other posters remark about her oddities of logic, sense, and grammar. It's become rather a sport to archive her ravings to toss back at her at an appropriate moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>IHC, though, really hadn't thought much about Reppies posting while drunk. They seem to be unbalanced enough without any outside influences. Of course, one could claim that Just S tom has been on a year-long bender, though we prefer to think of our resident millionaire (see entry directly below) as just plain dumb. </div><div><br /></div><div>We were surprised then to see the following post from the usually sober bobg telling us in yesterday's<i> Rep, </i>just how he feels about Ron Paul, under the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQno2tLh0sBTF97-KFZEg09BR_ZEZGHwy3tCc_T1zwlpZ-Yo5iOAbYWG6AE2HZTMaX0cne8ceumXmimWtY03siSSOiDevVr6dwU_5WBoXpj8gsYalLj1NaICLL8IpQifr_1bMLS0R2vxQ/s1600/No-Ron-Paul.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQno2tLh0sBTF97-KFZEg09BR_ZEZGHwy3tCc_T1zwlpZ-Yo5iOAbYWG6AE2HZTMaX0cne8ceumXmimWtY03siSSOiDevVr6dwU_5WBoXpj8gsYalLj1NaICLL8IpQifr_1bMLS0R2vxQ/s200/No-Ron-Paul.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610750944667461922" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQno2tLh0sBTF97-KFZEg09BR_ZEZGHwy3tCc_T1zwlpZ-Yo5iOAbYWG6AE2HZTMaX0cne8ceumXmimWtY03siSSOiDevVr6dwU_5WBoXpj8gsYalLj1NaICLL8IpQifr_1bMLS0R2vxQ/s1600/No-Ron-Paul.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}">Ron Paul Stands for Preserving Liberty and Keeping Family Values</a> thread.

Upon reading this comment, though, we initially thought Bob had joined the ranks of the comment tippling, (or was trying his hand at Haiku, and failing miserably). But as we read it out loud several times, we began to see what Bob was doing. He's writing a prose poem about 9/11 America.

If you're out of work, it's your own damned fault. You should have taken a second or third job, majored in something "relevant," saved more money, not bought that cell phone or DVD player, and kissed your boss' ass. Most importantly, you should have never joined that union.<br /><br />Bruce appears to get most of his news and news analysis from <a href="http://www.wnd.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Worldnet</span> Daily</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome_Corsi">Jerome <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Corsi</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/">Orly <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Taitz</span></a>.

According to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Hodgie</span>, Glenn Beck has never uttered an untruth. Bruce thinks <a href="http://www.snopes.com/"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Snopes</span></a> is a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">leftwing</span> website.

He's sort of an antebellum Protestant (may the Pope forgive him!) poker-up-the-ass, time machined into a 21st century vanity fair fighting desire, temptation, hedonism, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">atheism</span>, bright lights, consumable goods, and welfare mothers. No matter how often his facts are documented to be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">unfactual</span>, Bruce is always right. We think he spends a lot of his time swatting commies hiding under his bed.<br /><br />We were especially amused to see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Hodgie</span>-Baby's comments Sunday under a Letter to the Editor, <a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/opinion/letters/x157794603/The-other-side-of-dependency-outsourced-then-part-time">The Other Side of Dependency, Outsourced, then Part-time</a> written by the improbably named Richard Pickles of North Canton (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">btw</span>, he's real; <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">IHC</span> located him) grouching about outsourcing and crap jobs for those left behind lucky enough to get them, while corporations run unchallenged in post capitalist America.<br /><br />Mr. Pickles wrote in part:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The part-time income (28 hours), a minimum-wage job ($7.40 an hour in Ohio) at the local burger joint, grosses just over the allowed amount of income to qualify for state cash assistance (around $400 a month).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Never having been in a situation like that, it seems difficult to imagine living there willingly. Multiply this hypothetical family by several million, and worrying about a few welfare cheats seems to miss the point.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">With huge corporations paying no taxes at all, cutting the deficit off of middle-income people and the retired, and allowing the wealthy to get by with no increase, is also less than fair.</span><br /><br />Mr. Pickles remarks must have given Bruce post-Communion gas. He whipped off the following comment<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What is the matter with the liberal mind? Why can't people keep what they earn? It is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">un</span>-American for the government to forcefully take money from one group of people and give it to another. Not only that, it is a stupid practice to take money from the job creators. corporations don't pay tax, they collect taxes from people that buy or use their products and services. Pretty soon the business becomes non-competitive and moves their operation out the country. How about lowering the income tax on the wealthiest 5% and eliminate corporate income tax entirely. Mr. Pickles would soon be back at work.</span><br /><br />I Hate Canton actually agrees with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Hodgie</span>. Income tax is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">un</span>-American, though we'd probably come up with a better phrase if we had the time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbW61PLzLda1AtSYaJusHPyZpFW2hPgBDrASX7nIX9uWP4hsg0fEpGPymYr89T_GOE0gw1bOkB0mQyifcx7nzt6FtLRu9G54iiBxyRPffNnkG08gALi67EQHUHE3MTzbUOV4ZUtUY2TM/s1600/wage+slave+2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYbW61PLzLda1AtSYaJusHPyZpFW2hPgBDrASX7nIX9uWP4hsg0fEpGPymYr89T_GOE0gw1bOkB0mQyifcx7nzt6FtLRu9G54iiBxyRPffNnkG08gALi67EQHUHE3MTzbUOV4ZUtUY2TM/s200/wage+slave+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610195334742666482" border="0" /></a>We, however, find it difficult to support <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Hodgie's</span> claim that corporations should be exempt from paying income tax because they create the jobs and "collect taxes" from people that buy or use their products and services." According to Bruce, it's OK (in a manner of speaking) for the government to dun taxes from individuals who profit from working for corporations (secretaries, mill hands, truck drivers, store clerks, landscapers, scientists, computer engineers, nurses, house painters, brick masons, mechanics) but it's not OK for the government to collect taxes on the profits that corporations themselves make from selling their goods and services, which are generated from the labor of those it's OK to tax. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">IOW</span>, Bruce seems to think that only those who make money for corporations should have to pay income tax. Corporations that profit from the work of their employees should not. Next ,we supposed he'll tell us that we should all pay our bosses for the privilege of working for them.<br /><br />Excuse us for a moment while we uncross our eyes.<br /><br />Our original intention was to name Bruce our Village Idiot of the Day for May 22. He received the honor <a href="http://ihatecanton.blogspot.com/2011/05/ive-been-so-busy-feudin-fightin-and.html">earlier this month</a> for claiming that the Great Depression started with FDR when Herbert Hoover was clearly overseeing the country during the unfortunate events of October 1929. Besides, there are <span style="font-style: italic;">so many </span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Hodgieisms</span> that are deserving of daily awards.

He has lot of awards coming so why not start out with a big I Hate Canton hug and go from there? After all, if it weren't for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Hodgie</span>, the Rep would be a much more boring place to visit.<br /><br />Oh... <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">btw</span>. According to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Intellius</span>, Mr. Pickles, is 79 years old.
