Lex Alexander is out of control

Alexander is a staff reporter with the News and Record. He has exhibited poor judgment and questionable integrity, a conclusion based on numerous past experiences and re-enforced by this most recent example.

He put up this post Saturday in which he suggested that Republicans encouraged the situation involving Joe Killian at the Palin rally Thursday, and further suggests that Republicans would be responsible for violence against a presidential candidate:

"And maybe I’m paranoid, but when supporters of one political movement get angry and desperate enough to start assaulting journalists, it makes me unhappily certain that things have gotten bad enough that there’s someone out there waiting for his chance to take a shot, quite literally, at the leader of the other side."

That is absolutely and unequivocally over the line of decency.

I call upon John Robinson, Alexander's editor in chief at the News and Record, to publicly repudiate Alexander's remarks.

In case Alexander deletes the comment I left on his disgusting slime of a thread, I will repeat it here:

Quoting Alexander:

'And it is the kind of thing that the rhetoric of the McCain/Palin campaign has encouraged.'


My response:

"Garbage.

Absolute, utter garbage.

But it’s just what we would expect from you.

Your comment and my reply will be posted at Noteworthy."

  2. What do you expect from one of the usual suspects except garbage. I guess Lex forgets about the middle aged lady who was peacefully handing out pamphlets on the street corner under the protection of the Constitution and was beaten with one her sign by an Obamazombie and Lex has the gall to even attempt to make a big deal out of it.
    MORE:
    An Obama poll worker in Summit County, Ohio physically assaulted a McCain poll worker after he discovered that the Obama worker had gone against the wishes of a nursing home resident and marked Obama’s name on her ballot.

    Big brave men assaulting WOMEN in both instances of Obamazombies attacking folks. At least the person at Elon had the balls to go after a man, one who could defend himself if HE were actually attacked and feared for his safety. Makes ya wonder doesn't it?

  3. Do you really thing Robinson will do any thing much less call for a retraction? That is his kind of reporting or it wouldn't have made the cut for print. Remember Wray, and lord knows remember the Peace and Justice Commission or what ever name it was called. I called it BS from the start and it was and is.

  4. Jaycee,

    Yes, and we know that David Hoggard is a lifelong loyal Republican as well.

    But, Lex a Republican? Too funny.

  5. "This is a personal journal which contains subjects that interest me and my subsequent opinions of those subjects. If you're easily offended by strongly expressed opinion, you won't like this blog. If you want to cop an attitude, be my guest, but also be advised that I will return said attitude. Understood?"

    This is good Bubba. I would love to use it but I don't get many comments attitudinal or otherwise. Funny that. I get the readership but no comments. Guess people either put it down to being a silly old bird or else they don't want to hurt my feelings. You on the other hand make a large and belligerent target. BB

  6. [[I have it on good authority he proudly displays an Obama sign in his yard.]]

    You need a better authority. My wife, who is not under the same professional constraints that I am, put the sign out. I asked her if she would remove it because of my work situation. Reluctantly, she did. It was out there for about a day.

    Oh, I see, you were for the sign in theory but you were against putting up the sign before you were for putting up the sign and now that you've been caught you decided against having it up.
    But then I suppose all that would depend on who you were talking to.

    Dang sounds just like your messiah.
