And the dirty tricks begin...


A little birdie has informed me that the Barry campaign has accused the Charles Wilson campaign of "tearing down Barry's posters and putting his [Charles] posters up".

This isn't the first time that Barry has tried to cloud the issues at hand and make false accusations about someone - in this case Charles Wilson tearing down his signs. He made the same false accusations on the WAMU candidates forum last week when he was being pressed about Ward issues.

It's only fitting that now that Charles has challenged Barry to a debate instead of just accepting the challenge he is going to attempt to conjure what he does best - "smoke and mirrors".

Even assuming that someone is tearing down his signs (and that is a very big "IF"), considering Barry's LOW approval ratings in the ward and his poorly constructed signs has it ever occurred to him that perhaps the citizens of ward 8 are trying to tell him something? That perhaps people are tired of his false promises that it is just time for him to retire?

I've seen Barry's signs on the ground in my community and they just fall off the trees/poles. Much like the candidate himself they are thin, flimsy and hanging on by a thread.

Marion Barry accusing someone of dirty political tricks is like the (crack) pot calling the kettle black.

NOW LET'S GET BACK TO THE REAL ISSUES AT HAND!

Sounds like this could be resolved with a debate!
