Update: It's Baaacckkkk!!!!!!!!

Last week we had a couple days of relative quiet at the Rep. Our favorite multiple personality poster disorderly was momentarily silent, licking its wounds after diligent Rep staff chopped off some of its busy little fingers

By midweek, though, using a couple of unchopped tentacles ("Tom Dewey" and "Zachary") it returned, taking swipes at former council-at-large candidate and neighborhood activist Cindy Vignos in a moderate (for it) attempt to discredit her. Regrettably, the Rep removed the missives before I Hate Canton got around to archiving them. We do remember, though, that OP referred to Vignos' neighborhood as "sketchy." We were not aware until that post that the Edgefield & Washington Park area had become the arts district. We thought that was downtown. Canton is so confusing.

Other names our MPPD has posted under lately are "princessofthehoodrats" and "Mikey Goldmill." We suspect others.

Leaving no opportunity unturned, our OP has dragged LeBron James into its lunatic vendetta on Mary Parker. This appeared a few hours ago--clearly a veiled but recogizable attack on Ms Parker via her advocacy for the mentally retarded.

Mikey Goldmill
LeBron James Moving Camp for Kids from Akron to San Diego
Don't be so down on LeBron for taking a vacation. You 'people' are unbelieveable. Whats he supposed to do all summer, go down to Eastgate and make cornhole games or something?

We thought Mikey/Mickey died in 1981! We wonder how he likes sharing the bathroom with ""Nathan Jessep," "Theodore Donald Kerabatsos," and "Fawn Leibowitz." We hope he remembers to put the seat down.

Village Idiot of the Day, May 24-25, 2009: Another Octopuppet Collective

I Hate Canton never did get around to posting Sunday's Village Idiot award. We remedy that situation now by joining Sunday and Monday's award (May 24 and 25) and sending it off with love to Octopuppet and the following people inside its head who made it all possible by trashing the now comment defunct Rite Aid's Closing is a Blow to Canton Neighborhood

Village Idiot of the Day, May 23, 2009: meridithb48, demsndoes, snoozie, Julie S, mary, and Tom Dewey (an Octopuppet Collective)

Octopuppet spewed a viral orgasm yesterday over on Rite-Aid's Closing is a Blow-to Canton Neighborhood, a piece on the company's decision to close its E. Tusc store, the site of the original Schuman's Drugs. The closing leaves the 4th Ward not only drugstoreless but virtually storeless. The article includes many statements from local residents, some of them elderly residents at Girard Gardens, without transportation, and stranded. Being Canton, this in itself is not seen as problem. Take some initiative folks. Get a job. Buy a car. Drive to the other side of town or North Canton! Get Davies to deliver your drugs...oops, maybe they won't go down your scary street. Or in a pinch, pick up your prescriptions from your local dealer. Hmmmm, we wonder what the price is for street insulin.

Ward 4 resident and activist Donna Whelan's point that nobody votes down there is well taken, and I Hate Canton acknowledges that this is part of the problem that needs fixed. Unfortunately absentee slumlords are barely brought up.

Still, that an entire ward has been abandoned by the city and is virtually bereft of commercial services is not acknowledged as particularly odd by our Reppies. What can you expect from the people who live there, they yowl. After all, if people in the 4th Ward don't shoot it out at the OK Corral with the local thug element, it's their own fault they can't get their Proventil, Tagamet, and Premarin, and Paxil. And who in Ward 4 doesn't need a daily diet of of Paxil to get through the day--especially if they read Rep comments about their neighborhood?

The Octopuppet hydra led the charge against the abandoned (6...count'em...6):

meridithb48

They should have closed years ago. Why stay in the GHETTO where criminals feed off you daily. If the folks there would have raised they kids to be decent citizens and not druggies, gunnies and hoes maybe they could still have the priviledge of a drug store.

meridithb48
genie--the scum are their own kids. That is why it will never end..

demsndoes
The police are outnumbered a 100 /1 by scum and their supporters .And if the police don't approach them with flowers and candy the abuse allegations and law suits start flying.

snoozie
Sounds like these people in the picture haven't done squat for that ghetto area.

JulieS
Gee, maybe if the area wasn't such a crime ridden dump, they would stay. Get a job, get a car, and drive to another store...

mary
Now that the MRDD levy passed, I think you are going to see many more places shut down in Stark County. The taxpayers don't have any extra money to shop at these stores.

demsndoes
You notice they are not stealing a lot of condoms from there.Hair straightener and lotion , so they can be successful in their reproduction efforts.

Tom Dewey

mary spear:
Of course the Belden area is rundown exactly BECAUSE of the people living there! It is not the city's responsibilty to paint your house, mow your lawn, raise your kids, find you a job, and have a drug store on your block! Enough of this victimization crap! Take responsiblity and place the blame on the individuals causing the problems!

There is and has been more money than ever funding education, social programs, and rehabilitation programs and things continue to get worse. BLAME the people that are NOT contributing to the greater good of society. They are a cancer that destroys everything they touch. These cancers DO NOT respect the contributing, law abiding citizenry, so why continue to enable their behavior? NO more execuses for them, history has proven this is a failing proposition.
In a short time, every city neighborhood will be just like the Belden area.

I Hate Canton finds it hard to believe that John Saxton would approve of these shennighans and even lowlife mayors like EE Curtis must be spinning that Canton would be maligned in this manner.

There is no choice but to honor Octopuppet entities meridithb48, demsndoes, snoozie, Julie S, mary, and Tom Dewey as the collective Village Idiot for May 22, 2009.

Village Idiot of the Day, May 22, 2009: Tom Dewey, levelhead

We knew it was too quiet to last! But then we know that Octopuppet never sleeps!

Read 2 Million Jury Award to Strain Canton's Budget about the 2005 death by cop taser of the mentally disturbed Shawn Pirolozzi. $2 million is a lot of smackeroos, and we understand why some are upset about this US District Court decision, especially since the city doesn't have the money. The big story should be, of course, that the City of Canton had no liability coverage for police at the time of Pirolozzi's death. Naturally, that's not the discussion at hand. It's more of a Pirolozzi-got-what he-deserved-and-his-family-is-scum-and-so-is-anybody-who-disagrees-with-me kinda discussion.

I Hate Canton was particularly impressed with the assertion of male Octopuppet uber law abider, "Tom Dewey," (Canton could actually use a real-life Tom Dewey, but Octopuppet doesn't cut it) who has never met a person who's had a bad experience with the police--ever! But then, OP only knows well ordered, even tempered, polite, get alongs who wouldn't dream of running the speed limit in the middle of the night on a quick run to the No Tell Hotel.

Ton Dewey:
I'll bet that all of the people that are constant critics of the police have done or are currently doing something they shouldn't. These same people are genuinely ant-authority, anti-establishment, know it alls yet their personal lives are usually a mess.

I have NEVER met someone that had bad experiences with the police. The people that have these bad encounters with the police are ALWAYS doing something to draw the attention of the police. STOP committing crimes, isn't that a novel idea?

Later a new entity of unknown gender, "levelhead"--a self-identified "law abiding citizen" took a snipe, now removed, at Mary Parker.

levelhead
Is it the drugs you're using or is it just stupidity that would make you say something like your first comment? Go use your drugs, and leave the comments to us law abiding citizens.

We really hate to give Octopuppet the attention it so justly doesn't deserve but we can't help ourselves today. Besides, I Hate Canton is involved in a non-Canton project that can wait no longer today. Our summary judgment today: The Village Idiot Award for May 22, goes to Tom Dewey and levelhead.

PS There were comments worthy of award on other threads, but they were removed before I Hate Canton could archive them in our vault.

Village Idiot of the Day: May 6, 2009: Frank Manello, Tom Dewey

The Village Idiot is back!

I Hate Canton has been trying to get back on track and reading older comments. To pick up some slack we are belatedly bestowing our Daily Village Idiot Award on Frank Manello and Tom Dewey for their lively analysis of the interaction of the Democratic Party, NAMBLA, abortion and waterboarding. Normally we would award Mr. Dewey an honorable mention, but since "he" is Octopuppet and an alleged staunch Democrat from the Team Healy Cult, we believe a higher award is warranted.

Here are the winning comments (in order of appearance):

Letter: Which is Really Torture: Getting Enemy to Talk or Extinguishing Baby's Life?
Frank Manello

Let's see, according to some it is okay to kill a baby but not okay to inconvenience someone who wants to kill you. If anyone needed proof that the liberal 'brain' is in fact defective, the proof can be found in the comments above.

I also ask these staunch defenders of infanticide if they have in fact had or been party to an abortion, or do they just talk the talk? While we're at it, how many of you are members of NAMBLA? What do you people have against children?

Frank Manello
AC thanks to the tax system I am supporting many children who are not mine. I'm probably even paying for your food stamps.

As usual your 'logic' is non-existent, The Dems welcome NAMBLA and all other perverts. Since love of abortion is at the heart of the Dem party, NAMBLA must love abortion.

Talk about showing up unarmed to a battle of wits.

Tom Dewey
Frank Manello:

I bet you are right. Most of these clowns probably are members of NAMBLA. I'll guarantee half of these respondents are in their 40's, pasty white, and still sponging off mommy & daddy.

They cry whenever anyone disagrees with them. They support the 1st Amendment as long as it agrees with them. They are the first ones to complain when some cop takes their dope away because the law only applies to everyone else.

Their motto is: If it feels good, do it, don't let anyone get in the way of your good time!

I'm sure all of them would be for torturing if terrorists nuked their pot farms or their Toyota Prius'.

Frank Manello
Tom Dewey, Yes, and I'll bet none of them would have a problem with waterboarding President Bush. The liberal 'mind'; anything that feels good at the moment or advances their cause.

Frank Manello

Why are liberals so over the edge unhappy? I believe winning the election has made psycho's out of some of them. Or maybe just exposed them for the psycho's they already were. Perhaps it is that they just have to hate someone. Perhaps it is the weight of responsibilty in having to put their money where there mouths are now that they can't blame the Republicans? Perhaps they don't like what they see when they look in the mirror?

What more proof than the hysterical comments above is needed to confirm that liberalism is indeed a mental defect?

Oh yes, NAMBLA is a collection of perverts who are defended by the ACLU who is loved by the Democratic Party and funded by liberals.

Frank Manello

Don, you are who your friends are. Look at the groups who make up the Democrat Party.Do they make you proud?

TAC, I will agree that I loathe any and all child molestors. I certainly could never belong to any party or club that they belong to.
