Long live Turd Ferguson! Long live Turd Ferguson!

Turd Ferguson is ‘redundundant’ and that’s okay.
Some people write commnets here without any repetition within each comment but overall they say the same tired thing over and over and expect different results. That is a definition of something and it ain’t intelligence.
Isn’t that right, Billandtimsbogusanswers? I’m talkin’ ’bout Y-O-U.
Yes, you do. .

Fortunately, the Antelope Valley Times allows for the First Amendment right of free speech. You may not like what people write, but it is their right, guaranteed by the Constitution.
If you would like to see negative comments about LEAPS or other matters censored, stop by Lancaster City Hall on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month around 5 pm. There a strange man who looks like Kenny Rogers and has a weird laugh will stop any such critical talk in its tracks. Who knows, you might even see someone hauled off to jail. It’s happened before.
Eric says
Typical misunderstanding of the First Amendment.
The only place that governs your speech is in government buildings and control. The AV Times, as a private business, has the right to censor whatever speech they feel fit as it happens on their site.
Anon says
Eric, go back and read what I said. I said the Antelope Valley Times ALLOWS for the First Amendment right. People have that right via the Constitution. Thankfully and fortunately, the Antelope Valley Times supports free speech on issues. They have standards and policies, but nothing that Turd Ferguson has written (twice be it that it may) violates their policies. It appears that the few LEAPS supporters out there are nervous that the general population does not support the project and feels like Turd does-and as I do-that it is a failure and a waste of the tax dollars of the hard working people of Lancaster.
