The Tribune alter ego is its attack dog columnist Daniel Ruth.  The Tribune knows it can't write the things that he writes and claim to be objective.  So they allow Ruth to speak for them. He pens what they won't dare.  We point out the Tribune's duplicity on this website.

Another link shows another video (on Youtube) in which a harassed student (in a government school / socialist school with daily chanting) also  agrees with what Curry has been saying for a decade or more: that the USA Pledge was the origin of Nazi salute. Francis Bellamy was the author of the Pledge of Allegiance and the origin of the Nazi salute that was used in the early pledge's ritualized daily chanting / brainwashing. Francis and his cousin (Edward Bellamy) were both national socialists in the USA and influenced the National Socialist German Workers Party, its dogma, rituals and symbols (including the use of the swastika as crossed "S" letters for "socialism"). It is hoped that the two people above (Napolitano and the student) and others will also explain Curry's discovery that the swastika was used as crossed "S" letters for "socialism" (under German National Socialism and elsewhere).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1034555989001/what-is-the-plain-truth-about-the-pledge-of-allegiance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsLn2YbMGhs&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

The  paper,   part  of the  merged&lt;/span&gt;   Tribune/WFLA-Ch.   8/ TBO.com&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;,  has already  gone through   several rounds   of job reductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Executive Editor Janet   Coats    communicated       with   urgency:     “...   I’m  worried that  if we don’t    change how we   think   about   this further     it  won’t   matter what  falls  through the   cracks  because  we’ll have no readers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partial   blame for the Tribune's     decline     goes    to  two writers:          Daniel Ruth and Elaine       Silvestrini.        The   mess follows    mere weeks       after   "Daniel      Ruth LaRouche"    and    "Elaine  Silvestrini    Mussolini" were     exposed       in  public   debate    challenges.   &lt;/span&gt;That coincides with the time  when the newspaper said to the kook: "Uh, Daniel Ruth? Start packing your bags!" &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-elaine-silvestrini.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-elaine-silvestrini.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini and Ruth are  part     of  a widespread      problem     at   the   newspaper: ignorant writing  and  hate-mongering.        Earlier         Layoffs     at the Tribune      followed  shortly   after  a previous        defeat        of Ruth    by Dr.  Rex Curry (See   any   internet     search    for "Tampa     Tribune   lays   off").    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;                                          After      Ruth's  previous loss the response       against         the crack-pot     from       the   general       public was so great    that Ruth       said he  was       labeled     a "Dork,   anti-free    market        statist,      $#%!&amp;amp;,         Dummkopf,    liberal, daffy,    dolt,    stupid, dunce     and, oh    by  the  way,   socialist."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;On another occasion, Ruth admitted    publicly     that   locals    have   labeled   him "bigot,  prejudiced,  hateful  and  ignorant"     among many    other   similar insults.&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth publicly   apologized     to Dr.  Curry    for    Ruth's       errors.       &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elaine Silvestrini also acknowledged publicly    her   error    regarding      Dr.   Curry (although she did not apologize,    of course).    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ackowledgement of errors by Ruth and Silvestrini were too     late,          as  the   Tribune     continued      its tailspin down the      toilet.          Ruth   and  Silvestrini   are    causing spectators         to wager        on when   the  Tribune will be  out  of  business.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini and Ruth are news repeaters. The term "repeaters"   and   "reporters"    is synonymous, although "repeaters" explains more about   radio,   TV and print    news people like Silvestrini and Ruth: they repeat   claptrap   that is spouted    by government and government officials. They   repeat it   as if it is serious,    rational and important. That is what  happens to "news"  media in a police   state. &amp;nbsp;They repeat the national  socialist dogma of their newspapers ("national socialist" is what "nazis"  called themselves,  and it is necessary to point that out in case the newspaper's  readers (both  of them) read this because that fact rarely, if ever, appears  in the rag).  &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Elaine Silvestrini &amp;amp; Benito Mussolini" src="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-benito-mussolini.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The   Tribune     is  collapsing      under    the   internet       and    under     Dr.    Curry's       internet  work  (taking      top      spots      on the      web  for exposing     Silvestrini,  Ruth  and the    Tribune).         Silvestrini    and Ruth are learning   the hard way why    the Tribune   is losing under the   web. A google     search       for Elaine    Silvestrini    shows  that top spots  are the RexCurry.net     page (and  others)   exposing      her.  A google   image      search    for Elaine      Silvestrini shows     similar results.  Similar  resullts   show in searches      for Daniel  Ruth.      Videos expose      them in the  top  spots  in  searches  on   Youtube.com     for  Elaine  Silvestrini,      Daniel   Ruth,  and   Tampa Tribune.  For  years,   RexCurry.net      has been a top spot  in a google  search for Daniel    Ruth,  after Ruth's      previous   humiliating         defeat, and that explains    why    Daniel  the near-sighted     loopy   leperchaun   [sic] remains      bitter,  thin-skinned   and sour.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why Dr. Rex Curry makes important discoveries that enlighten  the   world forever, while Elaine Silvestrini and Daniel Ruth overlook important    discoveries (that they could have made) during lives of name-calling, hate-mongering    and bad writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini and Ruth repeat propaganda as if it were the pledge of allegiance that they were taught to repeat in government schools (socialist schools). That is why they failed to make the historic discoveries that were made by the symbologist Dr. Curry, including the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The swastika (Hakenkreuz), although an ancient symbol, was used to represent crossed S-shapes for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party. Ruth     and Silvestrini have been using the word "nazi" for so long that it could be described as "nazi" propaganda: The actual  name  of the   group     (National            Socialist     German    Workers      Party) never enters their heads. They have probably never written the actual name of the group in their newspaper  (check     it  yourself). Their thinking on the topic is as shallow as repeating the pledge of allegiance. As a consequence, they never understood the significance of the etymology, the group's true name, what the group's members called themselves (they did NOT call themselves "nazis"). All of the above, combined with their desire to rehabilitate the deadly dogma of socialism, is why they could never discover that the swastika was used to represent S-shapes for "socialism" under German National Socialism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. That the Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted later by the National Socialist German Workers Party. They are so locked into the myths that they could never do anything but repeat shallow propaganda about the pledge. &amp;nbsp;They never gave it any thought or research at all, and it would never enter their minds to try. &amp;nbsp;Even if they ever heard that Francis Bellamy was a socialist in the nationalism movement, they would have been too ignorant to make any comparisons to "Nazis" because they are too stupid to know that "Nazis" were German National Socialists. If they ever even started down a mental path to such thoughts, they would have quickly stopped because of their desire to rehabilitate socialism. &amp;nbsp;They don't want anyone to know, or to think about, Francis Bellamy as a socialist in the nationalism movement, and the Pledge of Allegiance as the origin of the stiff-arm salute adopted by German National Socialists.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently,      Silvestrini       and Ruth   were   schooled         by   RexCurry.net           about          the   Pledge      of Allegiance's            past. Flag fanaticists          Silvestrini          and Ruth had      been    what is known as "pledge    virgins" until     they   were   rexed  up  one   side   and  down the other. They  were   so  ignorant  that they    did  not   know     that the Pledge  was the  origin  of the German     National    Socialist    salute.     Heck, they   were  so  ignorant  that they  did not   know     that    the early Pledge       used  a   stiff-armed salute. They  did not know   that   the stiff-arm   salute   developed   from the military     salute.    They were     so stupid that they   did  not even know  the    etymology  of  the  term   "Nazi."     They did  not  know that    German  National   Socialists  did   not call   themselves    "Nazis." They did not know that members of the NSDAP referred to themselves as "socialists";    They were so stupid that they did not know that the  N-word  is  not in  "Mein  Kampf"    nor  in the film "Triumph    of the Will"  (as two  examples),   yet  the   word  "socialist"  is there in   stereotypically    droning   socialist     fashion.  They did not know (until   schooled by   RexCurry.net)    that    German  National    Socialists did not call  their  flag symbol  a "swastika"       (they  called  it a  Hakenkreuz,"hooked     cross").  They  did not know   that  German National Socialists sometimes    used   their cross   symbol to  represent       crossed  S-letters  for  their   "socialism."&amp;nbsp;     &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/pledging-allegiance-photographs.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/pledging-allegiance-photographs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe     it  or  don't,    Silvestini      and   Ruth   used   to  be  as   ignorant   as   most  Tampa    Tribune   employees.         But   not   any   longer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7894913@N08/2861433181/"&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/7894913@N08/2861433181/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  articles     about    the   web     site,    Silvestrini              and  Ruth did        not      dispute        the  work   of the noted        historian      Dr.   Rex Curry              (author        of   "Pledge       of    Allegiance        Secrets").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune-pledge.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune-pledge.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini,   Ruth         and     the      Tampa        Tribune         promote       flag fanaticism.         They  promote          fanaticism       by   covering         up  the      history      of the     Pledge of Allegiance.          In an article       printed     in   the  recent past,    Silvestrini     mentioned       both flag     fanaticism    and swastika       fanaticism.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their employer,   the    Tampa          Tribune,             is    a    so-called                newspaper          that   has      never    published               a  historical             photograph      of   the     Pledge's   early     stiff-arm          salute,   nor  explained          the   Pledge's  relationship          to the  National            Socialist          German Workers   Party,          its   dogma,   its  salute,  its      symbols and its  rituals.         Silvestrini     and Ruth have  also    never      informed        their       readers      about   new  discoveries        concerning          the  Pledge's            past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/silvestrini-elaine-tampa-tribune.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/USA-pledge-of-allegiance-rexcurrydotnet.jpg"&gt;                                               &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If   there       has     ever     been     an   article         about          Francis          Bellamy           (author           of   the  Pledge            of  Allegiance)             in    the Tampa  Tribune      newspaper           it   repeated      the        usual      shallow     propaganda       common  to most     "news"   outlets.           &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html&lt;/a&gt;                                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  that   way,     the       Tampa       Tribune     perpetuates               flag     fanaticism      by    repeating     tired  cliches  through      reporters   such            as     Silvestrini     and  Ruth.      They keep   their  readers    ignorant.       A  youtube.com    video    reveals    more  &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini's        and   Ruth's    writing        is   similar         to   robotic   chanting    in    worship        of   the    state.     They pledge allegiance to growing government and attack    anyone   who does   not join them. Their    writing   is   robotic  repetition       of cliches       taught     by the   government     and learned      in  government       schools      (socialist       schools).    Ruth and    Silvestrini  share        a style   of   writing  that is  common  in modern   journalism:     They  mislead   in   order   to cover up the   important   issues.   They   believe    that  the    purpose of    government is to  provide service,  and   the  purpose of the      media is  to   provide   vaseline.   &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/saying-the-pledge-of-allegiance-pictures.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/saying-the-pledge-of-allegiance-pictures.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think    of  the   Tampa    Tribune     as   a   torture         and     terrorism          conspiracy         (as     its    readers          think     of  it;   both      of them). That       makes  Elaine    Silvestrini           a  co-conspirator            with        unreadable  Ruth.       After    Ruth's      previous loss   to   Dr.    Curry,      the    response   against      Ruth from  the    general       public was  so great     that   Ruth      said he was  labeled    a "Dork,      anti-free     market statist,   $#%&amp;amp;!,             Dummkopf,         liberal,    daffy,     dolt, stupid,     dunce     and, oh   by  the    way,   socialist."          &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's    use   of  "socialist"       is   telling         in   that     Ruth       covers up     for   the  National    Socialist          German    Workers        Party   and  its    deadly          dogma.     The  neo-nationalist         Ruth     has probably      never  written    the actual  name  of the   group     "National            Socialist     German    Workers      Party"  in the Tribune  (check     it  yourself).     Instead  he  uses  his   favorite   hackneyed misleading        shorthand     for the  group.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On  the   Tribune's      fascistic      flag   fanaticism,     Ruth     and    Silvestrini          have  been   influenced        by   America's     most      notorious   National  Socialists,           Francis       Bellamy     and   Edward      Bellamy.   Ruth's   economic     ignorance equals          or   exceeds   Edward  Bellamy's.&amp;nbsp;      Silvestrini       and  Ruth add    to the public      perception   of  their profession     as "news   nazis."           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two Tribune toadies Silvestrini and  Ruth   knowingly      work   for   a  newspaper    that deliberately      fails   to deliver  parts    of the  newspaper    to some  readers  in what  amounts       to profiling     or "red-lining"  certain    "areas"  populated   by certain  kinds    of  people.    Do those readers  realize    that for   their money   they are not  receiving         the same quantity/quality     of newspaper   that the  Tribune  delivers    to its    preferred  customers?      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the latest round of job reductions,     the   Tribune     booted    popular     columnist    Joe Brown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth LaRouche has admitted publicly  that   readers     have   labeled     him   "bigot,    prejudiced, hateful  and ignorant"  among    many   other similar     insults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth   and   Silvestrini       are   evasive     about    the   Bellamys           and      their   bigotry,      xenophobia,    militarism,      robotic        chanting    for    children,       and  authoritarian    socialism     (and  their    influence  upon    German  National      Socialism,    its    dogma,    symbols    and  rituals).     Bellamy     dogma led to segregation           imposed     by law,  and  racism   taught  as official    policy.   The Bellamys   believed    that immigrants   would dilute  cultural unity   in the United States.    And what   about   the zealotry,  indoctrination,      propaganda and fanaticism?       The  Ruth/Silvestrini      silence  becomes       deafening   about   the  related    hate-mongering,     persecution,        sadism, jingoism,   violence,    and   even  lynchings      inspired     by the   Bellamys    and their  socialist    religion.   Silvestrini      and Ruth are a tour-de-force  of indifference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have nothing to say about the socialist      Wholecaust      (of   which      the     Holocaust      was    a part):   ~60 million      slaughtered     under    the   Union of     Soviet      Socialist    Republics;  50   million    slaughtered     under    the   Peoples'      Republic    of China; ~20   million  slaughtered   under      the National     socialist   German Workers     Party. &amp;nbsp;It was the same dogma touted by the Bellamys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It  becomes     scarier      in  that   Ruth   refers    to  himself     as  "The Book     of  Ruth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Daniel  "LaRouche       La  Ruth"    the   person    known    as   Lyndon    LaRouche?

(Ruth once told a critic that Ruth would      let    the    critic       find     out    if   Ruth     has a hybrid  toupee/combover          if  the critic      paid Ruth     $5000   -Ruth   knew that    if  the    price    was  high then  the    critic would    pass on  Ruth's toupee/combover             question).&lt;br /&gt;See   the   startling      photographic       evidence     at  &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth       writes    flippantly      about    torture.     LaRouche        La  Ruth's          insane    clown    posse       act is    like something           out of  "Apocalypse        Now"      meets "A    Clockwork     Orange."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good grief,   Lyndon    LaRouche      was    not       as  delusional         as   Ruth       is.    &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-lyndon-larouche.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps   the   fascistic      fanaticist      (Ruth)    is  merely    a  LaRouche      Democrat       (LaRouche       always    ran  in the   Democratic   Party).

Partial credit goes to Dr. Rex Curry in exposing the Tampa Tribune and two of its employees, Elaine Silvestrini and Daniel Ruth. The layoffs follow mere weeks after Dr. Curry defeated the Tribune, Silvestrini and Ruth in public debate challenges. Their writing was part of a widespread problem at the newspaper. Earlier Layoffs at the Tribune followed shortly after a previous victory for Dr. Curry over Ruth (See any internet search for "Tampa Tribune lays off"). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=tampa+tribune+lays+off&amp;amp;btnG=Search"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After Ruth's previous loss the response against Ruth from the general public was so great that Ruth said he was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market statist $#%!&amp;amp;, Dummkopf, liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid, dunce and, oh by the way, socialist." Ruth publicly apologized to Dr. Curry for Ruth's errors. &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruth's apology was too late, as the Tribune continued to twist down the toilet. Ruth and Silvestrini are causing spectators to wager on when the Tribune will be out of business. &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Tribune is collapsing under the web, and Dr. Curry's work is showing the way as Dr. Curry's work is taking top spots on the web. In a regular google search for Elaine Silvestrini, the # 1 spot (along with the four top spots) is the RexCurry.net page (and others) exposing her. In a google image search for Elaine Silvestrini the #1 and #2 spots are RexCurry.net web page images. RexCurry.net also shows in searches for Daniel Ruth. Also see google results for flag fetishism. There are improved videos in youtube exposing them in the top spots in searches for Elaine Silvestrini, Daniel Ruth, and Tampa Tribune. For years, RexCurry.net has been the # 3 spot in a google search for Daniel Ruth, after Ruth's previous humiliating defeat &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Think of the Tampa Tribune as a torture conspiracy (as its readers regard it; both of them). That makes Elaine Silvestrini a co-conspirator with Daniel Ruth, another Trib twit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's use of "socialist" in his previous loss is very telling in that Ruth continues to cover-up for the National Socialist German Workers Party and its deadly dogma. Ruth has probably never written the actual name of the group "National Socialist German Workers Party" ever in the Tribune (check it yourself). Ruth writes flippantly about torture. Good Grief, Lyndon LaRouche was not as delusional as Ruth is. For many years, Ruth has flittered about the fringes of political life in the Tampa Bay area as a sort of scary class clown, in the "special" section, hoping that his kindergarten cracks will make his teachers (i.e. Dr. Curry) give up and leave him alone. Ruth's insane clown posse act is like something out of "Apocalypse Now" meets "A Clockwork Orange." He is the Touch-hole of the Insanely. One suspects that Ruth's flatulence worsens every time Ruth rubs his brain cells together. Both of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elaine Silvestrini, writer for the Tampa Tribune Newspaper, has been educated by RexCurry.net about the Pledge of Allegiance. She lost a lot of her naivete' and ignorance after viewing the web site (on 9-5-08). &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a recent article about the web site Silvestrini did not dispute the work of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of "Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini's employer, the Tampa Tribune, is a so-called newspaper that has never published a historical photograph of the Pledge's early stiff-arm salute, nor printed an article about the Pledge's relationship to the salute of the National Socialist German Workers Party, its symbol and its rituals. Silvestrini has also never informed her readers about the new discoveries concerning the Pledge's past. &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/swastika3swastika.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there has ever been an article about Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge of Allegiance) in Silvestrini's newspaper it repeated the usual shallow propaganda common to most "news" outlets. &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that way, the Tampa Tribune promotes and perpetuates flag fetishism by repeating the tired cliches through reporters such as Silvestrini. Now Silvestrini can no longer use the defense of unintentional ignorance, as she might have in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compared to Dr. Curry's illustrious career, Silvestrini's name is longer than her career highlights. It is no wonder that Silvestrini's columns never state any qualifications she has to write articles about the topic (or any articles). Only Silvestrini's phone number and email address were given with no biographical or background information (nor any link to such information). There is a complete lack of disclosure of whether Silvestrini has any licensing or educational acheivement that qualifies her to write on such a topic, how she was selected, nor how much she was paid to write the piece (It might embarrass her if they printed what she was paid). Silvestrini learned to write in government schools on Planet Zircon 9.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a career move, Elaine Silvestrini should not become a lawyer. Her "journalism" might cause some people to wonder if she is competent even to write about legal issues, or to write at all about anything. If Silvestrini is considering a career change to law then here is a Memo to Elaine Silvestrini: Don't start packing your bags. Silvestrini submits to robotic chanting in worship of the state because it is so much like Silvestrini's writing: robotic repetition of claptrap that Silvestrini learned from the government and in government schools (socialist schools).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini and Ruth remain unable or unwilling to state the simple issue: The Pledge of Allegiance (and its author) was the origin of the salute of the National Socialist German Workers Party and influenced its symbols and rituals. They are deniers and historical revisionists. Are Tribune writers dense or does intellectual dishonesty and a lack of integrity make them unwilling to provide simple accurate reporting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, Elaine Silvestrini has strange tastes in what she does write about. In a recent article, Silvestrini's interests were drawn to "adults only" web pages about swastika and flag fetishism; On 7-3-07, Silvestrini wrote about a man who sells virtual sex toys, including characters on screen that can be animated into a variety of sexual positions; Silvestrini has written repeatedly about what Silvestrini calls a "high-profile drug, sex and torture case."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently when Silvestrini wrote again about "high-profile drugs, sex and torture," Silvestrini mentioned Dr. Curry, and his appellate work as an attorney for a defendant in whom Silvestrini has taken an ongoing interest. Silvestrini wrote about two critics of Curry's work and then she quoted Curry's response, "You can write that I have challenged them to a public debate of their claims and that the next step is to select a time and place for doing so, if they think they are up to it." &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Silvestrini's quote was a public debate challenge by Dr. Curry to Charles Rose, a professor at Stetson Law School, and the dare was printed in the Tampa Tribune Newspaper on September 6, 2008. A law school would be an ideal place for an educational debate and it would be easy for Charles Rose to arrange it. As expected, Charles Rose apparently did not think he was up to it as Charles Rose has not selected a time or place in response to Dr. Curry's public debate challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even after Elaine Silvestrini printed the debate challenge to Charles Rose in the newspaper, there was no response from Rose that Silvestrini printed in the article. It remains another media debate challenge victory for Dr. Curry over Charles Rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is telling to note that a google search reveals a web page on the Stetson Law School web site where Charles Rose (or someone for him) keeps a running list of the relationship between Silvestrini and Rose by synopsizing articles where Silvestrini repeatedly uses Rose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Recently, Ruth was educated by RexCurry.net about the Pledge of Allegiance. He lost a lot of his naivete' and ignorance after viewing the web site.

Ruth is a denier and a historical revisionist. Is Ruth dense or does lack of integrity and honesty make him unwilling to provide simple accurate reporting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth failed to discuss nor even enumerate the six or more issues that Curry's appellate brief argued on behalf of the defendant in the case. Ruth has the ability to let his audience decide for themselves because Ruth could post Curry's brief on the web site of the Tampa Tribune or TBO.com, but Ruth did not do so and will not do so because the brief would expose his inane comments, omissions and cover-ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you read newspapers for years then you will see all manner of ditzoid craziness that slops its way over the journalistic gunwales -claims of UFO abductions, the conspiracy theorists, Nazi cabals, deranged threatening environmentalists and people who believe monkeys are taking over the world. And those are just some of the serious news stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some newspaper writers, too, who are really weird. Take Daniel Ruth. Please, take him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all the black helicopter sightings and arguments Shecky Green and the Jewish lobby control the government and Y2K means the end of the world, Daniel Ruth has to be not only the most certifiably insane, but perhaps the most twistedly evasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Felliniesque Fidel Castro never answered any of the original questions. For example, why is the federal government growing so large, taking over criminal law nationwide, and becoming involved in what in the past would have been state level cases? Daniel Ruth - a "newspaper" writer - weighed in with one long sputtering bluster against historical reality. Loopy Ruth did his usual mental blank-out. The Karl Marx of the Twilight Zone responded with a bunch of journalistic babble and name-calling that is his "trademark."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth is one of the most visible local disciples of the Tampa Tribune, which ought to have his embarrassed fellow travelers donning Groucho Marx disguises around the office and about town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to wonder what schools Ruth went to. Government schools? The government taught him everything it knows and he is still stupid. But that is statist quo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth a writer with a big public forum and his reasoning is that of half-baked socialism/statism. Terrifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's remarks are a reminder of the cliche' "If you can't do, and you can't teach, then write."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth knows that the media debate challenge that was issued by Dr. Rex Curry as quoted by another Tribune reporter ( Elaine Silvestrini ), is also available to Ruth and Ruth knows that everyone else knows that Ruth has always been too cowardly to do it over the many years and he never will. The only person Ruth is fooling is himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will always remain another media debate challenge victory for Dr. Curry over Daniel Ruth and the Tampa Tribune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's comments raise the question of whether Ruth is unable to recognize any meritorious arguments in the six or more issues raised on behalf of the defendant in the brief. One of those issues was "insufficiency of the evidence" which is probably the most common issue argued in appeals of criminal cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's comments are especially odd considering that similar appellate issues were raised and argued in six issues raised by another attorney in a related case involving Scott Schweickert, charged as a co-conspirator. Was Ruth saying that he would provide ineffective assistance of counsel to a defendant by waiving / abandoning all the issues? Was Ruth saying that Ruth would file an Anders brief for both defendants (in an Anders brief a defense attorney openly states that he believes there are no meritorious issues to argue for a defendant)? Ineffective assistance of counsel is shown primarily by waiving and abandoning issues. Not by having an extra issue that is not victorious. Most appeals are unsuccessful, meaning that all arguments made in most cases are rejected by the appellate court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is other information that was known to Daniel Ruth and that he omitted from his article: The issues raised in Dr. Curry's brief are not uncommon and similar to most of the issues raised in other briefs, such as that of the Defendant Scott Schweikert (for example, insufficiency of the evidence). Some of the issues were also raised in articles in Ruth's newspaper (the Tampa Tribune) about the case and are also supported by comments made by some judges, jurors and other observers concerning the charges, the trial and the sentence (and some of that is in the brief). The issues are also supported by other people such as the former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi (author of the book "The Prosecution of President George W. Bush for Murder").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also consistent with what has been the law historically in the U.S.A.Some of the issues have also met with some success in United States v. Stewart 348 F.3d 1132 (9th Cir. 2003) an opinion by Judge Alex Kozinski (whowill be speaking in Tampa to the Federal Bar Association during the same month as this communication to Silvestrini). The Stewart case is available at various locations on the web including &lt;a href="http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/348/348.F3d.1132.02-10318.html"&gt;http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/348/348.F3d.1132.02-10318.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar arguments were made unsuccessfully in Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) (the medical marijuana case cited in the government's brief and in Dr. Curry's brief). United States v. Stewart is a case involving a challenge to the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922o under the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that mere possession of homemade machine guns can not be constitutionally regulated by the United States Congress under the Commerce Clause. Upon granting certiorari, the Supreme Court of the United States vacated the Ninth Circuit's ruling and remanded the case back to the court for further consideration in light of its ruling in Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1 (2005) where a new decision was issued in Stewart. see &lt;a href="http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/coa/newopinions.nsf/315E1DE83BC0D4258825719D005C71F8/$file/0210318.pdf?openelement"&gt;http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/coa/newopinions.nsf/315E1DE83BC0D4258825719D005C71F8/$file/0210318.pdf?openelement&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth's inability to undertand the jurisdictional argument on appeal (that the federal government lacked jurisdiction in the case) is bizarre in light of the May 1, 2007 article in the Tampa Tribune reporting that Judge Merryday "...said the federal government is 'not situated to prosecute the real offense, which prosecution is situated in the state of Florida.' "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tampa Tribune also wrote, regarding Curry's client: "In sentencing Lorenzo last year, U.S. District Judge Richard Lazzara said that if he were a circuit judge [state level] and the prosecution had brought capital murder charges, the government would have no trouble establishing the presence of four aggravating factors - facets of the case legally required for a death sentence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth is guilty of ineffective assistance of reporting.It is no wonder why old-style "newspapers" such as Ruth's are dying out as people turn to the internet for more accurate information.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Partial credit goes to Dr. Rex Curry in exposing the Tampa Tribune and two of its employees, Elaine Silvestrini and Daniel Ruth. The layoffs follow mere weeks after Dr. Curry exposed and defeated the Tribune, Silvestrini and Ruth in public debate challenges. Their writing was part of a widespread problem at the newspaper. Earlier Layoffs at the Tribune followed shortly after a previous victory for Dr. Curry in exposing and defeating Daniel Ruth (See any internet search for "Tampa Tribune lays off"). &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;safe=off&amp;amp;q=tampa+tribune+lays+off&amp;amp;btnG=Search"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/elaine-silvestrini-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After Ruth's previous defeat the response against Ruth from the general public was so great that Ruth said he was labeled a "Dork, anti-free market statist $#%!&amp;amp;, Dummkopf, liberal, daffy, dolt, stupid, dunce and, oh by the way, socialist." Ruth publicly apologized to Dr. Curry for Ruth's errors. &lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/ruth.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ruth's apology was too late, as the Tribune continued to twist down the toilet. Ruth and Silvestrini are causing spectators to wager on when the Tribune will be out of business.&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html"&gt;http://rexcurry.net/daniel-ruth-tampa-tribune.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Tribune is collapsing under the web, and Dr. Curry's work is showing the way as Dr. Curry's work is taking top spots on the web. In a regular google search for Elaine Silvestrini, the # 1 spot (along with the four top spots) is the RexCurry.net page (and others) exposing her. In a google image search for Elaine Silvestrini the #1 and #2 spots are RexCurry.net web page images. RexCurry.net also shows in searches for Daniel Ruth. Also see google results for flag fetishism. There are improved videos in youtube exposing them in the top spots in searches for Elaine Silvestrini, Daniel Ruth, and Tampa Tribune. For years, RexCurry.net has been the # 3 spot in a google search for Daniel Ruth, after Ruth's previous humiliating defeat.&lt;a href="http://rexcurry.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

When you speak of hateful grandstanding you only have to look at your own pulp blogger Daniel Ruth.  You nurture and encourage this man to spew out his venom without offering your readers an opposing viewpoint.  The only conclusion that can be drawn from this hypocrisy is that Ruth is an alter ego for the Tribune editorial staff.  But, you have been told this before!When I speak to those that I come in contact about the divisive wedge that the Tampa Tribune has become in the community I need evidence to prove my allegations.  Daniel Ruth columns and the silence of the Tribune management is all the proof I need.  Keep it up, Tampa Tribune.  You are creating the awareness in the community that I need to prove my claims of your divisive agenda. I cite these examples to potential Tribune subscribers and advertisers at every opportunity.  More and more people are listening.   I’m lovin’ it!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Especially since TBR has a strong distaste for things Christian and all of the flawed individuals that profess Christianity.   You see TBR has great dislike for Southern people and the Southern culture. He won’t have much to say about the distress in McComb other than to call them “cracker colonels of calumny” (his words).  You see TBR never met a southerner he really liked—or anyone else for that matter.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

(Not likely to be published)&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, the self-righteous hypocrisy of the editorial staff of the Tampa Tribune--again.  In the Saturday, September 24, 2005 edition the Tribune lectures its poor hapless readers with a list of six ways to “Saving Fuel”.  Now mind you none of us could have ever reached the conclusion of the Tribune on our own that turning off a light when leaving a room could save fuel.  But now that the Tribune quivering lips have enlightened us the light in our brains suddenly comes on.  (Oops! We must turn that light off in our brains to save even more fuel!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where is the hypocrisy?  Well in the same issue the Tribune published an article in the “At Home” section, replete with color photographs, an article titled “Legacy on the Lake”.  This article extolled the palatial digs of Emilio Dominguez and Lowella Esperanza on Egypt Lake.  Not one word was mentioned in this article of the editorial staff’s perceived excesses of a 6500 sq. ft. living area and the additional 3500 sq. ft. add-ons.   How much energy and resources have been concentrated into just one home that houses just one family?  Where was the Tribune’s indignation about those excesses that are so obvious in the article?  Well, there was not one comment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does this mean that I take issue with the amount of money and resources that these people put into their home?  Certainly not!  It’s their money and they can spend it in the manner which they decide. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My issue is with a newspaper that would lecture the great unwashed to “limit unnecessary trips” and then publish an article about opulence—all in the same issue.   For next week’s lecture is the Tribune going to publish a list of unnecessary trips so that we, the unconcerned and uncaring, will know the difference between necessary and unnecessary trips?    Perhaps you can turn the task over to that lover of humanity hack Daniel Ruth which you employ as the Tribune’s alter ego!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that it may be a shocking revelation to the Tribune editorial staff to realize but your readers are not as uninformed and inept as you indicate in your “Saving Fuel” editorial.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Well, it's being published here!&lt;br /&gt;___________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With each column Tribune attack dog Daniel Ruth manages to display his hypocrisy in a new way.  In today’s column he speaks of the two participants in a recent Tampa Ybor City nightclub incident in which one man was stabbed to death by the other.   Ruth goes on to say, “If only Laskas had been given an extra 20 minutes of life, he and Payne might well have wound up having a beer together—and two futures would have been spared.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this compassion from a man who has made a career of penning incessant name-calling columns filled with hate speech.  A man who has an attitude of, “It’s me against them and it doesn’t matter who ‘them’ happens to be”.  A man who goes out of his way to impress upon others in the community as to how little regard he has for their attitudes, opinions and viewpoints.  And all of this has been accomplished under the aegis of the Tampa Tribune, which, in itself, has become the “paradigm of hypocrisy” in Florida newspapers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through his columns Ruth has helped create an atmosphere of incivility in the community.  Is it any wonder that victims of his bile take notice of his disregard for them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Ruth so naïve that he can’t make the connection between his own incivility and the incivility that might be found in a Tampa nightclub?   I think not!  It’s hypocrisy on display—pure and simple&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Lee of the Beltway. These are the phrases Daniel Ruth used to describe George W. Bush in his Tampa Tribune column of August 19, 2005.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent months Ruth has used similar, but more robust language, to rail against radio talk show hosts Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. All three of these men have highly successful radio programs that are broadcast nationwide. Meanwhile, Ruth has a radio talk show program on a local radio station on Saturday morning. His program has absolutely no ratings. There wouldn't be any professional envy involved in his disdain for his competition would there? Naaah!! Ruth is much too liberal and loving to be envious of successful people--or is he?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tribune (and Ruth) describes Ruth's harangues as merely a writing style. But it is obvious that it is much more than a writing style. It is a mask for a man who truly hates and despises those people that with whom he disagrees. His anger is manifested in print under the aegis of the Tampa Tribune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ruth clearly deals in hate and may be fomenting retribution in the minds of some of his more unstable readers and listeners. Sounds far-fetched? Well, people with high levels of frustration, such as Ruth, have been known to use drastic methods to bring harm to their imagined enemies! Responsibility for the acts of retribution on Ruth's imagined enemies performed by someone as a result of Ruth's vitriol will, also, accrue to the Tampa Tribune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tribune might be well advised to consider psychiatric evaluation of Ruth who is clearly unstable and dangerous.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

He takes on the runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks problem—and solves it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this column, speaking for Jennifer Wilbanks, he states, “I’m about to enter into a lifetime commitment with a nice guy maybe, but I don’t feel like waking up next to Jed Clampett for the next forty years.”  TBR doesn’t think very much of the Jed Clampett or the Gomer Pyle types of the world.  In his own words he thinks the rest of us are  “,,,,(the public is) more gullible than a Muppet.”  Aw, shucks,  he doesn’t even think very much of his own twenty-two year old son’s brains.  No matter that in the end  Gomer and Jed always managed to outsmart fat guy types wearing yellow shirts.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see folks,  the Socialists/Liberals of the world like TBR view the rest of us as pretty much undeserving of our place on the planet.  But, since we are here, we need them to show us the joys of cynicism and arrogance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months back TBR had bypass surgery to correct years of oinking.  The rumor is that he is writing a book that he will title “My Infallible Method For Avoiding Bypass Surgery”.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Huh?  Has the court house been vacated for a hundred years?  Or did he mean to say the “vacated 100-year-old courthouse”?

In his column he makes the statement, “All this folderol over the constitution could have been avoided if: A) the Florida Legislature did its job and/or B) the public wasn’t more gullible than a Muppet.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you have it.  If the public agrees with them they (the public) are wise and insightful.  If, however, they don’t agree with them they are “….more gullible than a Muppet”.  This statement goes to the heart of what Socialism/Liberalism is all about.   They truly believe that the common man is too stupid to govern himself through democracy and free enterprise.  Only socialism with its elite ruling class is capable of governing.  Only they have access to morality with its changing tides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why TBR stays in a constant snit.  He constantly calls those who disagree with his point-of-view names of disparagement.  He calls it a “style of writing”.  He even refers to himself as the “Mahatma of Metaphors”.   But folks, it’s nothing more than cowardice in its purest form.  He hides in his cubicle and flails away at his word processor.  Now I know ole TBR won’t mind being called a coward.  After all, it’s just a style of writing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

Cue The Rev. Al</title><content type='html'>Well, boy and girls in today's Tribune article TBR finally reveals to us why he is so angry so much of his life.  He devotes four whole paragraphs of his article telling us how his first grade experience warped his entire existence.  It seems that Sister Mary Dahmer (no doubt Jeffery’s sister also) at the St. Sebastians intimidated him so much that the experience carried over to the fifth grade--which he flunked.  Folks, the nuns paddled his widdle butt.  Imagine what a military boot camp would have done to this guy! Such a man!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks doesn't this guy remind you of the fat guy in the Capital One TV advertisement wearing the yellow shirt?  He shrieks and runs when he thinks he is going to get his butt whipped?  Ole TBR just hides in his cubicle down at the Trib and flails away with his word processor.  I'll bet he even wears yellow shirts to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his article TBR even takes on the Rev. Al Sharpton.  Now ole Rev. Al is a true soul mate of TBR in philosophy. But today TBR was a little more angry than usual and he just struck out at the first person that came to mind.  He will probably apologize to Rev. Al privately.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

This is TBR's way of saying that anyone that has a opinion about any situation that differs from his own is a "yahoo". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TBR describes a situation where a convicted child molester in Marion County, Florida named Clovis Claxton, (who really wasn't all that bad) killed himself after being hounded by Marion County Commissioner Randy Harris. TBR then states that Commissioner Harris is a bigger risk to the community than the molester Claxton could ever be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on to describe the people of Marion County Florida as being "a frothing lynch mob".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now folks, if you ever wandered what the word "demagoguery" means just check out TBR's writing style.  It's just another example of the underlying spite in his nature.  A "frothing lynch mob" indeed!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--

The caller was trying to state his view about how personal saving accounts in Social Security could be a good thing.  TBR flew into a rage and told the caller that he had a twenty-two year old son that was an airline pilot. He went on to say that his son wouldn't have the faintest idea as to how to manage a private account.  I think he was trying to say his son wasn't too smart.  Folks, this kid is flying people around in airplanes.  You better check out who is doing the steering before you get on your next flight.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
