Did you hear the joke about...

The link seems to go to some general page at this publication. I have no idea what this is about and why you posted it here. Can you help me out with that?  

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

our town is right wing propoganda (0.00 / 0)

being paid for and distributed for free by the vast majority of retail establishments in northwest new jersey. When I have asked many of the business owner if they knew they were distributing the truly tasteless joke book, they were all oblvious.

it is filled with racism, misoginy, homophobia and duplicitous, right wing hubris to the most outrageous degree. Almost every page contains a dehumanizing tirade against some kind of "idiot" or another...but it's considered "okay" because they put the stars and stripes on nearly every page, use a title from a nostalgic American film form the 1950's and slap a quote from scripture on the back. It escapes notice because it's not online and whoever convinces these businesses to distribute it, do not tell them they have pedophilia jokes in there with the church directories and the free announcements for non-profit charities.

I'm sorry if my blog post does not make sense to you. I get that a lot. I have Asperger's syndrome. I could explain things I try to communicate to people until the cows come home, but I have no faith that it will be understood. I would not be the least bit surprised if the readers of Blue Jersey turned against me, but be warned. Our Town is bad news.

I wish somebody would do an investigative article about this little rag called Our Town that does make sense to people.

The only way I can think of to truly to get you to understand how infuriating is to somehow convince you to walk around anywhere in Morris, Sussex and Warren County with me and point out how prevalent this propaganda is up here. I bet we could travel for weeks and not run out of new places to find Our Town at. It's spreading like a virus.

Just consider me on the record, here and now, in 2010, as against this trash called Our Town.

Hopefully, someday, i will find a better way to communicate that to you all. Thank you for this opportunity, Rosi.

Do what you want with my post. But I am glad that Our Town is on your radar now.

If we're extra special really lucky, Rosie will pull this before we're treated to such a hilarious display ...

i guess my sarcasm did not effectively get communicated in my post (0.00 / 0)

please forgive me

Bob Beierle is the main guy behind our town. His magazine's tactics are so intimidating, no one dares to point them out publicly lest they be severely embarassed.

His homophobic, racist and misogynistic jokes are quietly doing their work undermining our community. I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I could improve my blog next time before the editors of this blog summarily remove one of the only voices speaking out against Our Town.

Hammer with the 7's (0.00 / 0)

seems to be a sputterer.

This is my one and only warning to you to knock off repetitive comments made all in caps, or you go bye-bye. We feel you, right-winger. You like the right-wing stuff, you don't like the stuff that isn't right wing. Pretty simple.
