"Just the facts, Ma'am."

You have a lot of nerve, Mr. Kirsch, to ask me to defend myself and other members of our community against the rubbish you print on your blog about elected officials and private citizens who "live" in this community.

You see, it's not my job to defend myself or other community leaders from your ilk. I'm not the one making allegations that certain people are corrupt or unelectable -- nor did I attempt to slander or smear members of the Whatcom County Democratic party by claiming that they are just a group of unprincipled "insiders." Those allegations are printed on your blog, not mine. You made them. You defend them.

Both Kelli Linville and Pete Kremen's public service record is long and distinguished. Neither Linville or Kremen need me to defend their reputations from your poison pen.

Nor do Dan or Lisa McShane. Allow me to play devil's advocate. If Mr. Kirsch doesn't think the McShanes are a "political threat" in future elections, why does he remain obsessed with them? Does he really subscribe to conspiracy theories?

Now, we all know that no one can stop Mr. Kirsch from launching personal attacks against community leaders or private citizens on his blog. But, we do have the ability to demand that he provides proof of his flimsy allegations and accusations of corruption. If he can't provide evidence of wrong doing - then he will be discredited and shunned by thinking members of the community. 

Remember Greg, "all we want are the facts, sir."

Evidence - not trash talk or rumors. We've heard enough "trash talk" out of you to last ten campaigns!

I have intentionally not linked to Mr. Kirsch's blog. I refuse to give him additional publicity for b.s. allegations.
