[Peace-discussion] re: Censuring False Greens For Irresponsibility: Loose Cannon Henry Duke destroying Nader's campaign!

[Drew Johnson]

Henry there's very little personal or 'spiteful' in my call for you to
resign your GPCA delegate position to the National Committee.  Personally
I agree with many of your issues and concerns and I've made that point to
you over and over again -- let me explain again as to 'my teens' as you
say.  Its the irresponsible, destructive behavior that I'm criticizing and
which you refuse to address.

When you make wild claims, spread rumors and innuendos that are so
extremely destructive of the Green Party, I'm not going to remain silent. 
Get used to being called to accountability for your misbehavior, because
its just going to get more and more intense until you take responsibility
and cease and desist from spreading lies about other Green Party members
whether they be Mirkarimi, McKinney, me or whoever.  Smears, half-lies,
innuendos are completely unacceptable behavior.  Over and over again you
fail to check your facts and put out garbage that hurts other Greens.  Its
not about you having or expressing an opinion.  Its about you putting
forth falsehoods.  Resign now Henry.  Go work on Nader's campaign and do
something positive for the planet.

Henry puhhhhleze, don't try to cloak yourself in victimhood.  You are the
one putting out innuendo after innuendo.  As the article explains re:
McKinney's Three Strike vote (did you even bother reading it?) the
Dem/Repub leadership cleverly embedded this noxious bill in a package with
a misleading name.  McKinney is a

I'm not 'retreating' -- another classic innuendo btw -- from calling for
your censure.  I'm pushing forward on censure.  I'd already called for
your resignation and I continue to challenge you to resign your delegate
position.  I'm *adding* censure to my challenge to you to resign.

I'm also not a Liberal, so again you miss the mark.  I don't live in Santa
Cruz.  I'm not a 'McKinney supporter' -- I'm a Mesplay/Swift campaign
coordinator!!!! You're full of unchecked, incorrect, false information
Henry.

Get used to being called to account for your actions Henry because it will
only intensify...


Green is Fact-checking!

Must you be so spiteful Mr Drew?

You so thoughtfully called for my immediate censure, and now you retreat to
your perseverative begging that I make you comfortable and happy by
resigning.

As I have to tell you like my teenagers over and over, I will not resign my
elected positions until after the convention, and at that time I will
consider it based on how responsible and accountable or irresponsible,
unaccountable, irreformable, and a waste of my time I deem the GPCA to be. I
will most likely stay registered green, and I'm sorry if that disappoints
you.

Again, would you please cease and decist from personally attacking my right
to have an opinion about leading greens endorsing Obama while I continue to
be a hard working green activist for peace and healthcare for all that
happens to support Ralph Nader.

There is room for both of us in my opinion, but you spread a very negative
and spiteful culture to a political discourse and debate which wastes
everybody's time.

Good luck with getting a little grace!
