Not So Fast, FOILS

If the FOILS blog is so worried about misogynist comments, perhaps they should have called out Bob Ament last year when he, for a period of 8 months, proceeded to bully and intimidate just about every woman involved in Irondequoit civic life last year (well – minus two female candidates).

From Mary Ellen Jones to Debbie Evans to Linda Quinlan to any woman who declined one of his lawn signs, Mr. Ament’s behavior was abusive and borderline criminal. It showed an utter lack of respect for women throughout Irondequoit.

Therefore, FOILS, you can understand if you haven’t put me on a guilt trip, because during all this you did nothing but make this guy feel as though what he was doing was justifiable.

In fact, it looks like you DID do something. You provided us with links on your blog to some entertainment that isn’t sexist at all. How about this gem, where you make fun of Debbie Evans for her clothes. Or this one, where it would appear a “part time secretary” is not qualified to be Supervisor and – oh yeah, she dresses bad too! And apparently, according to FOILS, women can’t read either. They can just shuffle their papers and look at pictures in magazines. How sad for you FOILS.

And if you ever want to put the values of Bob Ament or the local Republican Party – which, let’s face it, you’re all about - up against my own Party, please: bring it on!! I’ll see your Sarah Palin and raise you a Hillary Clinton.

By the way, I don’t belong to IDC. I prefer to be on winning teams, and last year they got pummeled in a town that seems to be hemorrhaging Republicans by the minute.
