If I’m not entirely mistaken, the Star also supported Democratic Senator Jesse Bright when he was expelled from the US Senate for treason in 1862 (although the paper I believe was called the Sentinel then). By your D.C. Stephenson logic, that means the Star has a predisposition towards supporting Treason.

Seriously though, most people familiar with Indianapolis political history know the whole D.C. Stephenson story. However, something that happened 90 years has absolutely nothing to do with the long overdue discussion about the public safety issues in the *2007* version of Indianapolis. What you said wasn’t witty, wasn’t clever, and certainly wasn’t relevant. What it was was yet another diversionary, off-topic posting by the city’s favorite Dumpster Diver.

Individual bloggers have a right to comment anonymously to avoid vicious attacks from snapping turtles like Wilson. They are not afraid to post their names. They don’t want to be drugged through the mud by unscrupulous Democrat nobodies.

Do you kiss Mrs. 46201 with that mouth? Daggum, Wilson, you could make a sailor blush!

Wilson, you offer nothing of substance and you seem overly impressed by what passes as wit. I once was amused, it is less so now. Offer substance please.

But if you must go for the personal attack, at least have the attached manhood to sign your name. At least that way everyone can know you are devoid of any true synaptic activity.

There Wilson goes again, talking ancient history with the 1920s. *Yawn* Give up your feeble attempt at humor than Wilson, it flies as well as a lead balloon.

Subtle humor on blogs sometimes goes over some folks heads. People were observing that the Star has tended to back Republican candidates. The KKK in Indiana in the 1920s was a GOP phenomenon and indeed the Star did back its candidates. I was being sarcastic about how the Star probably felt the Klan kleader, D.C. Stephenson, was treated unfairly. Madge Oberholzer was the woman bitten to death by Stephenson — I’m sure she was demonized by some partisan folk too…

So, Wilson, what’s your take on Abdul’s frustration with Blog comments that routinely fail to discuss the main point? You know, sort of like a person who makes a D.C. Stephenson comment in response to an Andrea Neal column on Indianapolis crime rates?
