If you have been dealt an underhanded race card here, we will be taking a long look at you. Yes, you were treated unfairly by an oppressed group with activity of subversion. Now, you have nothing to do but blame the rest of us for sharing in the spoils of your unjust failure. You were wronged, and now we wonder if you can be trusted.

That's ridiculous.

Everyone knows that only white people can be racist.

For what its worth, I referred to an "audience" of the flyer because it is unknown who or how many actually read it and based their vote on it. I referred to the audience which the author of the flyer was trying to persuade. A distinction which I am sure escaped The Capital and Mr. Shubbie.

Race played an important (and not pretty) part in this election. I pointed that out and my comment was deleted. Plenty of people are pissed off at the way race is used to defeat truly meritorious leaders, and its not right to censor that. Another sacrifice on the altar of political correctness.

Typical! - 2009-11-11 09:51:55

Looks like nothing has changed in Annapolis! The same tired losers have a vice grip on city politics and it's back to some stupid story line about how some idiotic moron who isn't qualified to represent the city landfill is slandering some other foolish individual who actually thought he could win an election in a district that busses them in and gives them gift cards and other goodies to buy the vote! It's sick..but thats Annapolis!!

racist theories - 2009-11-11 07:42:18

Neill, could you at least try and make a cogent argument to support what can only be perceived as a ridiculous series of racist statements clearly based only on your deep-seated bizarre ideology and prejudices ? huh ? can you ?

Another opinion on this. Classie speaks with forked tongue. When I questioned her about the flier on Thursday 11/5/09, she claimed to have never seen it and could offer no comment.

As to her allegation it came fro Bowling's campaign, that seems like a pretty big gamble to have a political underdog purposely undermine his campaign in the hopes that people will feel sorry for him and vote for him? Come on Classie, you can come up with something better than that--maybe Balloon Boy was flying in his balloon and dropped them.

And a question Josh S ought to ask regards her intention to vacate the seat she just won. There is talk that she is lobbying hard to claim Josh Cohen's seat on the County Council.

Ms. Hoyle may well be on to something, In the end though, does any of it really matter ? Surely the writer of the flier knows who she is, and any reasonable person would immediately discredit the pamphlet ridiculous comments about an openly gay republican candidate. What would Rush Limbaugh do ?

More of the same - 2009-11-10 15:51:58

Classie Hoyle continues more and more of the same nonsense. During the campaign she made baseless complaints that Scott's campaign fully investigated and found to lack any merit. These complaints were simply to distact from any discussion of the issues. She now makes the preposterous allegation that Scott has created this hateful propaganda about himself.

Any sane person has to wonder about this suggestion. What advantage has Scott received, or could he possibly gain from characterizing himself as a repulsive criminal? On Fox 45 last night, her story was that the Republican Party was behind this matter. Again, why would the Republican party seek to derail a bright, competent candidate from being seated on the City Council?

Ms. Hoyle continues to make excuses and lob nonsensical charges rather than contributing to an improvement in the level of civil discourse and an examination of the issues. One has to wonder what it will take to get her to put the focus on where it belongs - actions that will stop this vile and repugnant character assassination, and consequences for those who choose to participate in such shenanigans.
