Lefty flunky junking Bunkey

Subject: Lefty flunky junking Bunkey

I was going to write a posting about Roger Spencer’s non-response (#3809 22 Aug) to Bunkey Morgan’s posting (#3809 20 Aug), but there have been some good answers – Linda Cooper, Wayne Britt and Lawrence London (#3811 23 Aug). So I will only add a couple of things, very briefly. First, roger Roger!

Second, I challenge Roger to give us an example of any falsehood or distortion in anything Bunkey writes in his Chatlist posting or in his long ad in the Chatham News-Record. Anything at all.

Chatham Coalition can’t stand a honest debate

August 26th, 2010 · No Comments

From: Tom Glendinning
Subject: Subject: Ban The Bunky

I am glad to see that Bunkey’s opposition respects the first amendment so vigorously #:-o

“If he or his ghost writers had something valid to contribute for The Common Good, sure. But to keep hammering away with a single issue used as a tool for political revenge is wearisome…..Life is tough enough…..let’s limit the negativity here if we can…….ChainBreaker”

When the chatham coalition rants and floods the chatlist, media, blogs, surveys and polls everything is fine. Another point of view and the debate becomes limited to approved dictums.

Chatham liberals call for opponents to be banned

Subject: RE: Ban the Bunky

It’s funny!!! When certain people express their opinions, there is immediately a call for them to be banned. Yet, when other people rant and rave like lunatics, no one says a word!

I do not think that someone should be banned from a Chatham-centric chatlist just for expressing his opinion on issues that affect the residents of Chatham County. Especially in this time before an election when we can vote to make the right kind of change.

Chatham County commissioners will not respond to an average citizen

Subject: County commissioners will not respond to an average citizen

I think Bunky is pointing out some good facts; the county commissioners will not respond to an average citizen with a point blank question.

Just my view point.

Fan of the First Amendment

August 25th, 2010 · No Comments

Subject: Re: Ban The Bunky

Roger, Roger, Roger, ok, obviously you are not a fan of Bunkey. And, sadly, you apparently are not a fan of the First Amendment – the right to Free Speech. Would it make you happy to have the Chat List only post the “chats” you agree with?

Now, before you start jumping up and down, note: I have not said I am – or am not – a fan of Bunky. Read my message carefully – you will not find my political opinion anywhere. However, I am a Pro First Amendment Advocate, whether I like what is said or not. And I am a Libra. I like reading all opinions, listening to all sides of each

Ban The Bunky

From: Roger Spencer
Subject: Ban The Bunky

I see Bunky has been using his wealth to pay for huge advertisements in the local papers. Do we really need to endure him on the Chatlist too? If he or his ghost writers had something valid to contribute for The Common Good, sure. But to keep hammering away with a single issue used as a tool for political revenge is wearisome…..Life is tough enough…..let’s limit the negativity here if we can…….ChainBreaker
