This was supposed to be a one post affair. But after a round of posts by some co-bloggers (links here at Blue Collar Muse) and some attention from Hot Air, it was obvious that someone in David Smith’s office had their panties very much in a wad.
Perhaps we didn’t fly under the radar because I emailed Smith’s office a link to my post. Hey, I’m a giver. Maybe he’s got someone trolling the blogs for him. (Taxpayer money? It’s a legit question.) Whatever the case, this comment began showing up on almost all of the blog posts on the subject.
Either folks are not aware of this situation in it’s entirety or they have been duped and greatly mislead by a haphazard attempt to create an ulterior story to save someones ass. I would highly discourage folks from carrying through with this direction anymore than they already have. Very soon more light will be shed on this situation in Maricopa County etc.
There are folks on the inside of this preparing objectives etc, hell there are even folks within Thomas’s own office that are planning to assist with what is really going on behind those doors. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Bloggers, bloggers rights and or the 1st Amendment. ZERO..NOTHING.
There may in fact be argument to the accusations and or methodology etc…hell there rightly is with anything. However, don’t fall into the pre-conceived trap being set. People have already made huge mistakes online regarding this issue, those mistakes may seem small on onset however they multiply in severity daily. Should this continue beyond this point just how in the hell would you expect folks that know better NOT to publicly disseminate not only this but the half-ass ‘plan of attack’ coming out of Thomas’s own office? (which they weren’t even bright enough to mask properly as they so feverishly spoke of doing…and yep someone’s singing like a pigeon about that as well)
Don’t buy into this complete horse-shit. This has already gotten way out of hand as far as folks running with incorrect material etc.
Soon Thomas and some of his folks will get the trial experience they lack . . . too bad for them it will be as defendants.
Hewitt might indeed pick it up for those drooling for him to do so . . . of course I’m sure he will pick up the truth very shortly after.
Those of us who wrote about this today were concerned with the all-too-Soviet note that Smith’s office sent out. We weren’t much caught up in the intricacies of the spat between the county attorney and the county manager, which the commenter doesn’t seem to understand.
It seems we weren’t the only ones who found the whole business off-putting.
Making matters curiouser and curiouser, it turns out that our troll with the cryptic rant comment is a GOP type from the east with heavy ties to John McCain. I won’t mention his name…yet. However, I’m not a big fan of anyone telling me what I should or should not write about, especially in a chickens**t, anonymous manner. That’s the kind of behavior I expect from unhinged lefties, it doubly irritates me when someone who is supposed to be working on my side of the aisle pulls that crap. My response is usually, um, less than pleasant.
The emotional nature of his response does open up more questions about what manner of sore spots were hit with the various posts today. If David Smith has nothing to hide perhaps he should keep his (presumably) hired dogs on a shorter leash so they don’t leave new piles of stink for the neighbors to investigate.
