Intolerance in the Name of Tolerance

[The below comment was deleted twice from the Cambridge Chronicle comments pages. I posted a related comment below this one, to see if that would be tolerated in this city of intolerance.]

Great civics lesson here. The Mayor of all the people said "we are all here to stand up against ignorance and evil. . . so we can show them what . . . tolerance looks like." Let's see, the paradigm in Cambridge is - "If someone disagrees with you they are ignorant, and evil." I might add they usually add racist and mentally ill. Instead of having a dialogue the Mayor uses personal insults. That shows she has no rational arguments. What a great lesson to teach high school students. That is what Cambridge looks like. Don't dare disagree with the homosexual lobby which runs the state or you will be sorry. This is how a minority of thugs censor free speech. Dictatorship, you rear your head in Cambridge teaching young people intolerance in the name of tolerance. Just what was predicted. The minister named Christians but not Jews as an interest group. Shame forgetting the most vocal supporter of the homosexual lobby. Eric Holder laments cowardice of white people to talk about racism? Here's why.

"The Editors refuse to allow criticism of the Mayor. Will they allow
the comment that the First Amendment is not dependent upon geography?
A person does not need to live or pay taxes where he or she expresses
his or her opinion. That is another example of censorship, this based
upon geography. How many citizens join the spineless editors and
politicians in this depraved city? We need new editors as well as
politicians who believe in free speech, not personal attacks."

APR 9 2007 Roy Bercaw Speaks to Cambridge MA City Council

Speaking as the Chairman of the Awards Committee of the Federation of Biotech Cheerleaders, Bercaw presents a Lifetime Achievement Award to the City Council. On the issue of dog medallions to use city park land, he notes the consistently inconsistent policies of the City. The Council supports same sex marriage for out-of-state couples who are banned from marrying in their home states to marry in MA. But they want to prohibit dogs who do not live in the city from using public parks? He says not to worry, because Cambridge enforces laws arbitrarily and capriciously anyway. Discussing the "Urban Ringy Thingy, Councilor Simmons conducts a private conversation loudly enough for Bercaw to be distracted. It is a violation of the Council Rules which are also enforced arbitrarily. Bercaw suggests using psychiatric drugs for traffic calming. In order to increase parking and traffic flow Bercaw suggests banning pedestrians and eliminating sidewalks in the city.He urges keeping civilians from knowing the city laws in order to avoid any concern about the government violating so many laws. He asks if the Council supports fences in the city will it also support the fences along the border with Mexico? He wants to have two drinkers of adult beverages on a liquor license committee.

ENOUGH ROOM TV December 17, 2002

Silence OF MA US Senators John Kerry and Edward Kennedy About the Church sex abuse scandal and the 19 homicides by Boston FBI informants. Media treatment of Trent Lott's hate speech is compared to the 22 alleged murders by Boston FBI informants. Abusive Cambridge MA policies that drive people from the city is revealed by the Director of CCTV. Councilor Simmons has an unequal focus on discrimination. Martha Coakley was elected Attorney General of Massachusetts in 2006. Cambridge City Council has yet to speak publicly about the murder of Daniel Furtado by Cambridge Police. Susan Fleischman never apologized for her tirade on December 10, 2002.
