Fox News versus the Peoples' Republic of Cambridge? This could prove
amusing, something of a steel-cage match.

I wonder what Patterson would have said if the Care packages were for Iraqi
civilians, and they were pulled because someone complained?

It sounds like the election commission was excessively paranoid about
controversy, but there's nothing to suggest they supported the complaint.

I don't know the outcome, or if there is one yet. I'll ask my wife, who
follows Boston news more closely than I. By the way, the Boston Hearld
is the local tabloid, and probably agrees with Fox.

Comments anyone?

BTW, Patterson was complaining because the collection was stopped, not
because the collection was "political". The complainer who the
commission apeased was not named

LOL...it would seem the same old drivel one sees on Faux News all the
time.

I didn't know that the Faux News motto was "We report...You decide."

What a waste of time...they are worse than any stupid reality tv show
I have been forced to watch.

I thought it was "We report...You laugh...laugh...laugh...your butt
off at our stupidity."

Friends don't let friends watch Faux News.

But in all seriousness I would recommend sending someone...anyone who
is serving a care package for the holidays. Our troops are serving our
Country despite the fools who sent them and deserve our support.

Support our troops....bring them home ASAP.

I think the City of Cambridge sucks for stopping humanitarian efforts
which were not politically motivated. Political Correctness SUCKS in
every way, shape, or form.

Typical elitism. Diss the troops and those that are trying to help them
secure that one can do it in safety provided by those that put it on the
line.

Some days I think we ought to bring back the draft. Canada's courts just
ruled they aren't taking deserters. Maybe they won't take dodgers too.

The collection boxes were placed at polling stations on
election day. That probably had a lot to do with it.

If they'd been placed outside of the polling stations, there
probably wouldn't have been any problem.
