I have just have a question for Mr. Slager and his minion, Ms Lilly.

You promised to expose Mr. Brady's recall effort. Where is it?

This is your standard operating procedure. Make a wild claim, then NEVER print a retraction. Stir up tensions, then blame it on everyone else. There was a meeting, but you choose to focus on the Selectmen and YOURSELF. Who cares about you? Report on the grassroots effort that is growing and a meeting the will be the catalyst for change in Wareham.

You want to know what a true journalist is? Watch and read Steve Urbon.

Good call Larry - For the few people that have gotten a retraction, what process did you follow?  Here's some of his made-up recall crap:

This is no “community” meeting, despite what Brady is claiming. It is a recall rally, plain and simple, one held in a public building that was paid for by your tax dollars

The Observer has been predicting this recall attempt for more than a year. The only reason it has taken this long is because the power elite arrogantly assumed they could put us out of business first

And then from older versions:

Next Thursday night the line will be drawn. The recall crew will try to keep the good people of Wareham from having a say in their own future

The CBW is knee-deep in this recall effort.

A quote from Mr. Brady:

I have one comment / recommendation. Within your story, offer an apology to the citizens of Wareham and CBW for misinforming the general public of any recall effort by the Citizens for a Better Wareham (CBW).

Believe when I say, Slager is not a journalist. He is a hack reporter who only focuses on the Selectmen and their agenda. We accomplished a great deal by having the meeting last night. Mr. Brady showed great leadership and respect for the people by allowing them a voice. What a concept! A community that has a voice! 

If today's article in the Wareham Pravda shows anything, it shows how useless this man is at reporting news. His article should be titled, "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT THE SELECTMEN!" It's a shame we can't do a recall of Slager.

If 200 showed up last night, then you can bet that will double for the next meeting! I had more than a few people tell me they had no idea about the lawsuits and the other information. They were appalled.

People, educate yourself, your friends, family and neighbors!  Let's get the word out and Take Back Wareham

Okay, I have a question. Who the heck is Paul Shooter?

Larry, I've been trying to figure that out for a few days - ever since Slager retroactively added the "Paul Shooter" byline to articles where interviewed himself.  There is no "Paul Shooter" listed on Linkedin.  There are a few on facebook, but none appear to be from the area.  A Google search for "Paul Shooter" in Wareham, MA yields two results - both from thewarehamobserver.com.  Slager didn't introduce him when he "started", just started putting the name on bylines.  The best Google search I could come up with (and I like to think I'm a fairly competent Google Engineer) is here, but that doesn't list anybody who looks like our intrepid reporter.

IM SURE HE GOT TIRED OF US SAYING ITS FREAKIN STRANGE HOW HE INTERVIEWS HIMSELF AND NOW COMES ALONG "PAUL SHOOTER" AND PAUL SHOOTER NOW INTERVIEWS SLAGER USING SLAGER'S OWN STYLE OF WRITING AND GRAMMATICAL AND SPELLING ERRORS.

Larry (and thru you to coachTP)

Trying to make analogy between anything going on in the Town of Wareham and the attempted murder of any and all persons of jewish descent in the countries of Europe during the Nazi era is beyond belief. It is sick, vile, repulsive. And, let's not forget that the slaughter included gypsies, homosexuals (altho somehow Reichsmarshall Goering was exempt), and anyone else the leaders deemed a "problem".

My awakening and awareness of the horror came during a real estate transaction, of all things. My first house was a dog, and we tried to get out of it within a year of buying it. No luck, so we gave up. But, a Realtor named Anna refused to give up, and found a buyer who could live with the problems which bedeviled my wife and me.

Anna was showing me a house on the market, when I spotted it. It was a tattoo on her forearm, all numbers. There was no doubt, but I asked anyway. Her family in Hungary had been taken to the camps when she was a young girl; she never saw her parents or siblings again.

A little later Anna started her own real estate office, which was very successful until her retirement due to declining vision. I have never met a person who worked harded for her clients than this lady.

Tell CoachTP that he needs to talk to the Annas of this world. And to the many victims in E. Europe of the Soviets. I have. Then, he may not be so quick to make idiotic comparisons. But then, if he is aligned with the obfuscator, then there is little hope.
