Day of Reckoning Coming for the Gates Blogger

I have become a regular reader of the Gates Blog. It is to the Gates Democrat Committee what Tass and Pravda used to be for the Soviet Politburo.Of course, Lee Strong, the Gates Blogger, would protest that he is merely a neutral scribe, just commenting on what he sees and hears.

Nonsense!

Lee is a member, or at least a fellow-traveller, of the Sue Swanton anti-Esposito, anti-GOP gang. He tries to protest his innocence and neutrality, but his posts expose his true feelings.

His latest is the thread he started on the alleged "takeover" of Cable 12 by Greece and Gates. In addition to the drama of calling what's happening a "takeover", the rhetoric in the blog includes breathless fears of government clamping down on public access and control of the content on the airwaves. He notes that he can't get through to Cable 12 to get the facts. I guess he never considered contacting the Town. Of course, his regular readers understand; Ralph and the GOP administration are untrustworthy and wouldn't give him the truth.

The worst item is Strong's comment that "Gates Supervisor Ralph Esposito allegedly holds grudges". Really? Where did Mr. Strong hear that? This is one of many examples of Mr. Strong making unsubstantiated assertions about people and issues he actually knows little if anything about.

I have resisted responding to the errors, cheap shots, and ignorant assertions made on the Gates Blog up to now. This one has pushed me over the edge. I am going to start to post on the Gates Blog. I intend to hold Strong's feet to the fire. Every error will be exposed, every baseless conclusion will be challenged. Swanton, Ross, Strong, and company will no longer get away with attacking Ralph and the GOP administration with insinuation and innuendo.

Look out Lee, Marshall Repoman is coming to the Gates Blog!
