Village idiot of the Day, April 28, 2011: Just S tom; ocean

In our darker moments we wonder if Reppies should be required to pass a literacy test before being allowed to post. Over the last few days, as the primary election grows near, I Hate Canton has seen what may be the dumbest posts ever to hit the commentsphere.

Here's a couple regulars railing idiotic against SARTA:

ocean
SARTA is Essential in Lives of Many Stark Countians
They're spinning this just like the schools do when they want the homeowners to pass a levy,the kids will suffer,now if this levy fails it throws more onto the gravy train,from what I've seen it wouldn't hurt a few people to toenail it a couple miles a day

Only to be topped by Just S tom's vision of the future: Obama tax eaters getting a free ride to Walmart...or, we suppose, to pick up rock on The Strip. Tom, btw, appears to be the Tom formerly known as tom n lou. (see right sidebar for links to earlier Tom posts, which also illustrate his inability to use the shift key).

WE ARE EQUAL.....NOBODY SHOULD DRIVE A CAR....we must obey Obama...

GET IN LINE...GET WHATS FAIR AND take from those who have more...BE FAIR.

dress alike..walmart cloths and ballcaps

Just S tom

VOTE IT DOWN...

SARTA is for OBAMA-ITES

And we found this 2-day old related diamond in the rough from Tom in another thread:

Just S tom

Have You Had Your Fill of $4.00 Gas?
DEMOCRATS WORSHIP THE OBAMAAAAAA ENERGY POLICY....IT AINT GOIN' AWAY...YOU OBAMMAHHHHHAAA flock

While there may be more serious discussions to critique from Thursday (die, Obama birth certificate, die!), I Hate Canton, as a friend of Voltaire, feels it incumbent to record occasionally the ill-educated, ill-bred juvenile rants that appear on the pages of the Rep in the name of free speech and newspaper marketability. We feel sorry for the gang down on 500 S. Market. This is not what they went to J School for.

For April 28, 2011, we give 2nd place to ocean. May her car break down and she (ocean is a self-identified she) be forced to "toenail" it between Canton South and Perry Heights in 8 inches of snow next winter. High heels required.

Just S tom speaks for himself.

On a personal note, IHC believes that SARTA and its supporters are making a big mistake focusing on the "disadvantaged" element of its ridership--the poor, the old, and the student. In a normal town that would be quite acceptable, but Canton/Stark County isn't normal. Reppies have already made it clear that people without cars or car access are socialist tax eating lazy trash. We wonder if a big PR campaign focusing on the normalcy of public transportation (like the normalcy of tax supported police, fire, water, and street repair) might make SARTA more tolerable to the intolerable. Probably not, but it would be worth a try.
