[Vision2020] If You Look Young, Don't Buy Spray Paint ;-)

[david sarff]

Man oh Man, cleaning the offensive graffiti is nothing, this message is just 
no good at all.
Bill, is one of the most hateless persons one can come across. I bet he and 
the others you list as poster children easily condemn the actual action and 
declare that the act was socially illegitimate by their personal standards. 
I suspect, knowing Bill, he has already condemned it in that vein. If so, 
its completely unfair not to acknowledge that. If not, he needs to make it 
crystal clear. The H youth script was a horrible thing to have happened. 
These folks have not not promoted the action in any capacity.  Who can you 
point to that has promoted the action?
It is not illegal. And, its not unique to just this community. Why use Bill 
as a whipping boy over his defense that it was legal? I guess if he defended 
the legality straight off without also condemning the action at the same 
time or earlier. That could be perceived as revealing. Considering how 
wrathful you guys seem to be, it would be an easy jump to a legal defense 
first. Is that what happened in this instance, or did he do better? What is 
the truth here.
  To what minimum standard must Bill and others live up to for you, to get 
beyond this immediate wrath and rise to another, more rational level?
Dave

>For my readers who haven’t seen this before, Bill London wrote a Daily

>Speech
>In Friendship Square) where he argued that scrawling “Hitler Youth” in

>In Venom2020 today, he stands fully by that column.

>It is not legitimate to use spray paint on private property to present

>Given their actions over the last four years, I would say so.
>Second, in the 27 Sept 2005 edition of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News,
>Michael O’Neal wrote the following:
>In his recent Town Crier column (Opinion, Sept. 14), Bill London smugly
>and triumphantly demonstrates that the “Hitler Youth” graffiti at New
>Saint Andrews College fails to rise to the level of vandalism and in
>fact is legally protected free speech.
>One can only marvel, breathlessly, at the hypocrisy of this position.
>The issue is not about whether this malicious act meets some legal
>definition. The issue is much larger and is no less than the ongoing
>bigotry and two-facedness of some elements of our community. London
>knows that if someone had scrawled “Ragheads” on the sidewalk outside

>would never hear the end of it – and rightly so. Perhaps such acts,
>too, would not legally be crimes, but they would deserve the censure of
>the community, not labored and trivial defenses.
>In my view, this Town Crier column is more hateful than the original
>act that prompted it.
>Michael J. O’Neal, Moscow
>Hypocrisy is exactly right. Even the Moscow Human Rights Commission
>denounced this act. They did not trumpet it as an expression of

>Again: thank you Bill London. I couldn't have paid an Intolerista to

>to everyone in Moscow what the real nature of the Intolerista attacks

>And thanks for saying it again (and again…). Can I recommend that you
>write another column in the Daily News trumpeting this position? Please?
