Cambridge 11-15-07

Published:Thu, 15 Nov 2007
Description:A troop of Boy Scouts is wondering why their donation boxes meant for troops in Iraq were thrown out of polling stations in Cambridge Massachusetts last week. Marsha Weinerman, executive director of the city’s Election Commission, said the boxes were removed after a resident complained to commission workers about their implied “pro-war” message. Was this pro war or pro troops?

" Have to wait -- just the right moment to talk went up his opinion don't look at me like that happen 8774694322 yes in Cambridge there -- pro war. They're pro soldier."

" But -- anti war. So how come they object and how come -- election officials -- boy scout drop boxes. Out of 33 polling stations around the city. When when there is a nice opportunity. For people to be able to drop things off to be sent to Iraq to help out the troops and when it certainly is not political statement of any kind. Why would somebody objective why would election officials agree. Dad it's some kind of political statement an end a violation of the rules regarding campaigning in front of a polling place 877469432 to your opinion on this please let's go to Larry next site Larry"

" I don't answer I am sure -- I worked out in Massachusetts and worked with a number are pretty -- that local. This is pretty much in keeping with what I -- say when they think -- around fellow liberals. There so rapidly anti bush there's so much hatred for bush in everything east stands for. The troops are just an extension of the bush policy but they -- the troops they hate the war. I think what without any doubt in my mind whatsoever they want in the worst way for us pollute the war aren't our concern. We've already lost the war just we just don't went astute stupid -- know -- yet."

" I don't you know have you noticed the -- xsilence about the fact that things -- gone well in Iraq."

" All court that's that's Arab part almost as much -- how they. Don't complain it George Bush stole the election from Al Gore he stole the election from aren't area emanate. It they'll complain about baton comedy that it's done this is just. Mean it's just terror to -- that we're doing well that. Oil laying there all victory as they view it."

" I don't -- I don't and it's tearing them up Larry or if they're so good at denial that there urged that there's not paying any attention. They're just ignoring it pushing it to the side in ignoring the fact that it's gone while I agree with all of your positions I think those things are true. Of the rabid anti war -- That they are disdainful really of America an American might. And America's economic power and in political power around the world and military power. And they really want to see curbed because they see us as the problem 8774694322. It's kind of like Hugo Chavez and belong. That's so many and so many Democrats have expressed for him. And look what Easter island in Venezuela and it do you hear the outcry. Do you hear the outrage from those who would normally. The outrage over the fact that this guy is using his popularity to dismantle democracy. When so many people in the state of Massachusetts elective officials Joe Kennedy big can call him a friend publicly. -- 877469432 to -- some romantic notion that these guys are freedom fighters fighters for the people. Fighters for the little guy. Not the case but they can't let -- of the fantasy 8774694322 David next in the Howie Carr show hi David."

" I thought thank you very much about. Human body here in the these dollars that and thank you for doing what you've been doing."

" Well thank you -- that's how I feel about I feel like we're all hanging out TO."

" there and you know he thought. People you know it's -- in Beirut -- Kerry -- Democrat built in to talk about all of when you when they find out that you're against these people they say are discussed offered to limit the appointment at the I did -- you know what they they get out of starts in the arena of ideas on the -- they thought it did you know because they know the going to get killed you know it's quite."

" I don't I don't and second I don't think that's it I think that liberals are in a big part of their sense of of self righteousness. Is that. You have to be a Neanderthal to be a conservative so if I if they're standing in front of one who appears to be a normal human beings like you dressed properly in your -- to ruling. It confronts their sense of reality in a way that they it's too jarring for -- co."

" And -- saying they aren't these people who will -- we won't cry out when there's a conservative so called also caught conservatives off the Republican yet. What comes out of their mouth. -- a -- negative -- through that this strike evils they you know it's just unbelievable you know. We we both know that that the present the media will be behind what we're doing talking about the question in Iraq that was happening in the war and you have -- would be loaded with Britain that would pop that was that was why they ignore these things. You know -- Detroit --"

" Well because -- because Bill Clinton is in the president Bill Clinton wasn't present all that stuff would be paraded out there. A regarding the nobility of this exercise in the people were walking around with -- long faces and a sense of depression about the state in this country. In the state of the world because we are so bad in what we do by going -- countries like Iraq they would be filled with warm hearts. Over all the good being done by their boy Bill Clinton they would 8774694322 it's gonna Harold. Good evening to you Harold."

" data I get a kick out of it I'm air force that -- about long hair. I'm working class. That -- like everybody else. But this -- mile long hair and they start talking about hey you know you going to be an old hippie or something like that tell us what that Roloson on for half our -- okay. I'll look at and say if you ever really. Bought yourself -- I would say -- about elements in look I don't necessarily agree with -- of the George Bush does decide now. I think myself as a you have a brain irrigate did you think you yourself you have Ed teachers leave politicians think for you if you do ought to argue but -- Berkeley live out there."

" thank you for the call. The military guys perspective 8774694322 Todd feinberg and for how we will go to Fred next site fret."

" Our first thought of one state or how the drastic of a lot thank you Fred it is a great job. Second of all what I think certain perspective -- Taken -- in the all about 100000 people look at city let's figure 40000 about ball that politically I'll be fair. One -- another 40 about. Just one person according the other corporate you know what does this country until we the people who are at the person."

" Well there is this the first I -- the first answer is because institutionally when they heard this complaint they probably went -- gone. Their right. We have no right to be collecting things for the troops that poll places because that's a political statement. So first off I think your instinct is that that data -- really was a wrong thing. And it's so that title one person gets the power but then there's this whole piece Ethan were everybody's so afraid of offending anyone. That the minute there's a complaint no matter how. Portly founded it is they cave man."

" Well but that's that's the sad thing is that that the PC in the one -- sat back. -- in LA it's that simple majority is representative war you know and if it's that bank and I would like mistake it was a may get. It's a respect that that they didn't necessarily agree with that let's say their collect donations. Are there actual look of abuse by priests -- authority adult children of -- and apparently. They probably wouldn't happen that you look at what that."

" I don't think so but but the appointee is it's a collection that is voluntary so -- be offended by its so what it does the only criteria. For whether it was appropriate -- after the boy Scott Scott -- drop boxes for the troops in Iraq at the polling places in Cambridge. Is is why it does it impact the election does it for somebody in some way to feel pressured to vote certainly obviously non. There's nothing about that that advocates a particular policy or the support of a particular politician given that it's not political advocacy. There's no reason to take it out other then. A highly charged that mr. or people in power feel like boy. In this community. If I don't go along with the -- bats I could be in deep trouble and out of a job 877469432 to what he thinks David."

" Ed thanks I can't talk thanks for taking my call -- again you know you've done a great job ultimately it will really miss you got. No well let's send out. I agree equipment that they -- it out either because ago. It with a -- It's not a good argument you make if it looked collecting between genders they were could collect infer a legal immigrants. Because you -- that they will have a problem that -- Who would have a problem that would yet."

" Floods if they were collecting blood donations for people who were in needed someone else."

" No if if they looked at trans gender -- illegal immigrants who -- the public."

" Well for illegals are going to have a problem if they were something other than how to hustle them out of the country yes I had no not at all. That because aids is very advocating support for somebody who's violating the law if they want support for illegal aliens. Now the trans gender issue if they're doing wide if they're collecting to help trans genders say who it is I would have no problem with the finding that the illegal alien thing I would object to but the trans gender is that that you know I would make what I would make fun of them for not."

" It would have a problem with you click on the floor like a mistake -- all and only -- I -- Should that -- I'd support the troops I'm a Democrat but you know we get it -- bad several cult what you want but I voted Democrat. Because I'm I'm a union war and and I have a problem yet. Polling places -- quota period up without. That's that's solid guy that a --"

" I don't know what you know I've gone to plenty of on voting days I've showed up plenty of times in the to bake sale going on. At the school were the voting has taken place and I bought myself a cupcake. In order to support whatever was that school had going on that they were selling cupcakes four. I did not feel I did not feel it anyway that the sanctity of an election was being violently -- just said. That -- for voting only nothing else well fundraising is something else. It is fund raising Stephen. -- no no. Now you blundered Stephen because you've fallen into blatant inconsistencies in contradicting your dot -- there is no difference between raising money for the school and giving people an opportunity drop things off that are going to be sent the troops in Iraq there's no difference to non political community acts. You were doing okay. It was -- viewers that its form it's for voting all about."

" else. But his Sunnis is that debate cells okay you blow a total 8774694322 Cambridge mass boy scouts drop boxes at 33 polling places pull. -- because somebody said it was a political statement the election commission caved one complaint. They're not -- day. I'm Todd feinberg this is how we are --"

" Thank you have to. Happy so busy reading text messages all the time whenever he's going to signaled me to start you do that driving -- figure 870004694322 I just want to take a moment before this hour instant thank everybody's been two months by having to get -- how we understand it's hard to have somebody else and."

" Interloper in his -- and I want to thank everybody for being so generous in your support and kind words and even -- wise guys you know that's fun to. So it's been great fun for me and I appreciate two months we've been together. And hopefully we'll have a chance to talk again sometime in the future but in the meantime we can all four to Howard's return tomorrow make sure you tune in for them camp 8774694322 talking about the Cambridge folks. And what's in not surprising for them all but it is revealing because of the pretense. Debt we hear from anti were liberals on a regular basis and that is that they're fully capable of supporting our troops. While being vehemently against the war yet in Cambridge state hold the boy scout boxes out a 33 polling places. There were dared to accept donations for the troops in Iraq. And they pull them because it was felt that it would be too political. A statement to leave. And obviously has no political statement involved at all some. I think this reveals their there their true feelings which is supporting the troops to them. Years supporting the war they can't separate that 8774694322 Mike next time -- Now let's turn now Ohio."

" I remember saint thing in Czechoslovakia he hadn't been reported -- like Hitler you'll enjoy our quality paper homosexuals. Thank you -- Homosexuals -- argument. I'm talking -- yes violate the -- doubt that you don't over regulation how sales grow."

" Well and the boxes were their for the purpose of accepting donations for our troops. It doesn't really matter who's boxes there yeah yeah -- be going sued the soldiers in Iraq."

" They teach hatred of homosexuals the other big patriotism and India are -- and Chris -- They -- I apparently did not support a party. I am all right just a Republican or reactionary almost all of."

" Do you find that guy sandy. He was good the accent was almost credible 877469 fortress -- at"

" Linda. Tiny tax -- on it make a couple of statement actually deployed yet there are -- girl scouts probably would get as well. But the politicians the government is -- over and I think it's to -- and not supporting and Amber's it ain't their support I'm actually military analysts and I have been there and it's great that there. Supporting Iraq you know it toward unity and other places that a lot soldiers."

" What's the best thing for you -- that people can do"

" for the family members back home yeah. You know it actually to quit -- and then -- I would love my at. And everybody wants their child they're they're in -- I'll say you know we don't want portico will be here and that's what people don't understand that they're sleeping in their -- peacefully and I because. Our numbers are there."

" So more than anything else you would just like people to stop saying bring our troops don't"

" to stop bringing you know it's great and -- and eagle on rotation and I don't think -- people understand the troops do go on vacation and they do come home. And they do it and -- itself and that place if they don't want the war here they don't know how to load shack on the on the front doorstep to protect their own family and eat at least they lie teen mania that people don't like President Bush it'll like the way the war is actually knowing that they -- have to go outside the scope they it's not just in Iraq there's a lot of other places and done. We need to put the orders I'm actually sitting in front of a Wal-Mart in New Hampshire and I end here twice to they are ready. Spending -- you know items that you know we're taking -- responding -- paper it dissent over I had and the troops you know which is. They --"

" Right thank you for sharing now -- I think that's important for everybody to hear 8774694322 gymnast hi Jim."

" I talk they are. First -- I just want to comment on that guy L. Barrel we're egg each commonwealth would bet that the bush does -- Christian organization first off he's totally off base hit and anybody they're in the sense that. It has no idea what the -- boy scouts still pardon my language."

" Oh -- I thought that was like a Saturday Night Live thing or something."

" That it is today hateful organization."

" Absolutely not combined area that's just ridiculous statement that an accurate statement you know it's it's a multi religion. What -- wedding."

" You're what what what was the other point we just have ten seconds."

" I -- sorry the other point was it's because it it it's because the the boy's scalp."

" looking further. Proof box. All right thank you in quite yet but thank you try. All right all right all right time Todd fiber in this is not how we Carson"
