Just because you 'bark,' Russell, doesn't mean that anyone has to respond your disingenuous posts about this non-issue.
What's a curiosity I'm sure for list members is why you've even dragged Dean Zimmermann's name into a Ward 9 candidate forum non-issue such as this. Unless, of course, you have a not-so-hidden agenda. Your imperious and self-righteous attempts to make a mountain out of a molehill, Russell, are transparent. For crying out loud, you weren't even at the forum and you don't even live in the 9th Ward! For the public record, the Zimmermann campaign had nothing to do with the question in question that was posed at the candidate forum this past Wednesday. I do know that ALL questions submitted for consideration were submitted anonymously. As they are at all of the candidate forums I've been to. Furthermore, for the enlightenment of list members, Russell Raczkowski, Liz McLemore, Ken Avidor (also known to many as *** ******), a fourth person who's name we were never quite certain of, and Mark Knapp, formerly of Minneapolis (at least we are hoping fervently that that's the case) are known in some Green Party circles as, "The Gang of Five." Although claiming to be Greens, they seem to spend the bulk of their time (which seems prodigious) sandbagging Green candidates and campaigns. Some of us have suspected for awhile now that they are either self-appointed or paid political saboteurs (imagine THAT in good ol' Minnesota!). Believe it folks, this is one of many reasons why 3rd parties have a nearly impossible time getting established and taking hold in the U.S. And with the Minneapolis GP being touted in media circles as "the new second party in Minneapolis," I can imagine these folks, and those who support them, are resorting to increasingly desperate measures to bring down the Greens. And if there's a campaign in Minneapolis that understands the lengths, and the lows, to which certain undermining forces will stoop it is the Zimmermann campaign.
