AntiBVBL

For those who are unaware, Prince William County was not the first locality that FAIR influenced in adopting anti-immigrant ordinances. Before PWC, there was Riverside, NJ & Hazelton PA. Riverside, NJ rescinded their resolution because of the economic impact combined with the certainty of incurring significant costs for defending it against litigation. Hazelton, PA has been stricken down in court but is under appeal. This should send a very clear message to Supervisors – this is not a path we want to follow.

Ben Tribbett of Not Larry Sabato takes a stand. Ben’s decision to distance himself from Greg, much like Corey Stewart’s critical comments on April 1st, is a truly significant event. Despite numerous complaints about hate-mongering and flat out lies, Ben has also shown a tremendous amount of tolerance for Greg’s tactics up till now. The two are and have been friends, and even co-hosted a happy hour event together not long ago. The fact that Ben has decided to take this step is just one more signal that Greg has gone too far. Using hate, fear, and misinformation as political rallying cries is, I guess, par for the course in this day and age. But comparing human beings to dog food and attacking the Chief of Police for doing his job is quite another. Whether all of this was done with or without Stewart’s approval remains to be seen. Hopefully Stewart will clarify at the next Supervisors Time on Tuesday.

Note: I corrected the mis-spelling of Ben’s last name.  As a side-note, for someone who claims he isn’t looking he caught this one pretty darn quick and I mean within minutes.
