The woman who was handing out these half sheets of info about the FBI
was under 5' 5". She had a head of curly, full blond hair.
If I was introduced to her, I don't recall her name; some of the evening
is a blur...nerves and all...

Well I did not see the original post, but I did not write anything
that mentions Annie Mae. whom I did know and whom I mourn.
Barb certainly did not hand out any materials at any forum, as she is
eschewing electoral politics this year and has not attended anything.
I have been known to make some spelling mistakes, but I have learned
to get things proofread before they are printed.
Thanks for the defense Wizard. But is my hair that "ungovernable"?

The peculiar style and the misspellings indicate that this piece of
drivel was likely composed by Dave Tilsen, co-chair of "Zimmerman
for Justice," Zimmermann's defense committee. Indeed, one witness
believes that it was his spouse, Barb Tilsen, who distributed these
flyers at the candidate forum. Regardless of whether it was Ms.
Tilsen, the woman who did distribute this was reportedly hanging out
with the Bicking/Zimmermann contingent.
Even Hedda Hopper and Walter Winchel, two yellow journalists back in
the day, were smart enough to at least do the CYA shuffle before
going to print. You weren't there, you think it was Barb Tilsen, but
whoever it was she might have gone over to talk to some Zimmermann
supporters. And David Tilsen wrote it. Uh-huh.
One can tell you don't know Tilsen or anything about him. The man was
a printer for many years. Someone who misspells words is not a
Tilsen, certainly not a David Tilsen who lives on the western edge of
Powderhorn Park, votes in 8-2, 5'10" or so tall, about 60, an
ungovernable mane of hair. That David Tilsen can spell and use a
spell checker as well.
An accusation of "peculiar style" is bourgeoisie pettifoggery.
It is reprehensible that the author of this flyer would use the
names of dead activists to further the campaign of two city council
candidates, one of whom is still under investigation for
corruption. I find it particularly nauseating that the author
would butcher to the point of caricature the name of Anna Mae
Pictou Aquash, an American Indian Movement activist who was
murdered and left in a ravine on Pine Ridge. .
Aha! More proof it wasn't Barb Tilsen, certainly not. Nor would it be
Dave Tilsen. If I'm not mistaken, when David was a mere pup, his
father was one of the principal lawyers for the Wounded Knee defense
team. All those folks, their children, their parents, their friends,
their rellys, knew about Anna Aquash. Some of them definitely knew
Anna Aquash. They wouldn't make that mistake.
If the Bicking and Zimmermann campaigns are stooping this low,
What's reprehensible, Mr. Raczhowski, is your accusation that the
political campaigns put out the flyer and your accusation that the
Tilsens, people you apparently do not know, were responsible for the
flyer.
