KANSAS CITY RUCKUS: COUNCILMAN ED FORD HATES TKC BLOG FREE SPEECH!!!



Another stellar episode of KCPT's Ruckus with Mike Shanin this week with a special shout out from a termed out Council member to Kansas City's least favorite blogger.

To wit . . .

COUNCIL DUDE ED FORD CALLS OUT TKC AND HATEFUL ANONYMOUS BLOG COMMENTS IN DEFENSE OF HIS 'CIVILITY' RESOLUTION!!!

Here's what the outgoing council member had to say:

Councilman Ed Ford: "If you look at something like Tony's Kansas City blog. The blog itself is bad enough but you get into the anonymous comments. The racial and the gender comments are so outrageous. You know, I think that comes with the fact that you don't have to give a name. You can say whatever you want . . ."

Thanks to host Mike Shanin for a clarification: "Those kinds of comments are widespread on the Internet. Not just one or two blog sites."

Councilman Ford responded: "That may be, but it's the one I look at occasionally because Tony does touch upon city government quite a bit."

YOU DECIDE . . . IS COUNCIL DUDE ED FORD'S CRITICISM OF THE TKC BLOG COMMUNITY APT OR OUT OF LINE BECAUSE ANONYMOUS SPEECH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE ANONYMOUS BALLOT!!!

The show just gets better from there . . .

Take a look:



"Crosby Kemper III, Mary O'Halloran, Steve Glorioso and Mary Anne Murray Simons discuss the political aftermath of Tom Schweich's suicide, the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton's personal emails and the bulging Kansas City, Missouri budget."

Again, this is Kansas City's GOLD STANDARD of political discourse and a MUST SEE for anybody who cares about how this town really works.

Comments

  1. They should have you on again as a guest TKC or maybe you can just do a call in.

    But I think the councilman should worry more about our budget and about funding indigent health care then what people say on the Internet.

  2. You delete comments and say you're "free speech" at the same time. Both can't be right.

    Everybody knows you're in the pocket of the Jew conspiracy silencing the white man.

    Everybody knows it.

    However, he had a point when he said you were "brain-damaged."

    Is it OK for me to tell everyone that Ed likes a little peach mango juice after he swallows my cum load?

  9. Politicians from Hillary to Ed Ford are interested in THEIR version of the truth and that means deleting emails and attacking any free speech that does not dovetail into a political narrative that they in turn support.

    No one is forcing poor little butthurt Ed Ford, or Yael, or any of us to read this blog, or read the comments. Mr. Ford has the same options as the rest of us, to get his news from the KC Star, the New York Times and the main stream media. However, Mr. Ford knows goddamn good and well, if he wants the unvarnished local truth on a subject that does not involve him, then he would be a fucking idiot to wait for it to break in the local news media. Even if he did, the local media would shape the story (As does the entire MSM) to fit an agenda and a narrative that he (Ford) and we might not agree with.

    So, Mr. Ford, admittedly does what we all do. We look on TKC for the gossip, the anonymous comments from the folks involved, the folks close to the story sprinkled in with the "cum" guy and your garden variety racial commentary, which, if he is so outraged, he, again, could just not fuckin read it.

    Fat chance. That self described fat fuck is going to pony right the fuck up everyday and take the city's pulse on TKC, just like everyone else.


    The anonymous comments are the Free Speech bona fides that assure us all, that there is nothing abridged, no agenda, no narrative, just the rough and tumble venal, nasty, mean spirited, vicious rhetoric we have all come to expect, that, is proof of the veracity of the truth, at least as commenters see it.

    Ed Ford's whiny rant was a really decent imitation of Steve Gloryholeoso and Mary "The Queen Of Condescension" O'Hollering.

    You can bet the farm, every one of those poseurs check this fucking blog every day for useful information that they in turn use for their own self aggrandizing bullshit "Consultant" jobs while pretending to look down on the proles for reading the same shit.

    Tony humps his fucking ass from dawn to dusk to bring us the best entertainment in the city.

    RUCKUS needs him back. Anything is better than Steve Gloryholeoso pontificating through his pie hole on the evils of the right.

    Remember, these are the same fucking morons who brought you the streetcar and now want a 1,000 room Hotel and a new Airport on your dime.

    If we are lucky, they will all become so disgusted with TKC that they all quit and save us billions.

  10. 5:58 hit the nail on the head. Our city leaders don't like anyone who doesn't fawn over every half-baked, half-assed, harebrained waste of money they throw at us.

  11. Most of the media just want to see Sly tap dance. As long as he shucking and jiving, they aren't going to say a thing.

    When I want to call bullshit on City Hall.

    Or complain about that dirty B Cindy Circo and how she is trying to steal an election. Then I visit this blog.

    Shame on you Ed. You are supposed to protect our constitution.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hey Ed, free speech is what has made it possible for you to have an office to run for. So if hearing and seeing the truth is more than you can handle maybe you need to seek out another career.

    I'd never ever would vote for any scumbag who makes it a point to point out he hates free speech no matter where it is.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It is easy to dismiss the content of this blog based on the style of communication that it is presented with. The reality is, practically *EVERYONE* in Kansas City visits TKC when they want the inside scoop. You may have to wade through racism and graphic sexual content; unfortunately, that is a reflection of our society. But this blog is literally the best and practically the only source for this level of information pertaining to our city available in a single, easy to access location. An attempt to discredit the solid content of this blog by pointing toward crass language is dishonest and silly.

    Ed's a big boy, and a politician; he should grow some thicker skin, give credit where it is due, and accept the fact that some people (including many of his constituents) like to trash talk.

  14. Because of the "tipsters" i know that Ed's "civility" pledge was nothing but a campaig ploy to help his girlfriend Theresa Loar sneak back into office.

    Shame on you Ed, you should do better.

  19. Ed Ford is a phony, he did nothing on the council and now he's bragging about it.

  22. ....so how about setting an example and never discuss tax payer business, make deals or screw the tax payers anonymously or from behind closed doors?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Tony and his two dozen trolls chatting up vile anger which only the two dozen will give a shit about.

    The public does not like the discourse associated with this site. But you can keep fooling yourself by seeking affirmation from your Denizens.

    See you next week, when the world will continue to not give a shit.

  28. Hey, people take news from every place they can get it.

    What I don't like is how this lawyer and councilman wants people to provide ID and a name before they criticize him. That's a problem that our so called leaders don't know the constitution.

    ReplyDelete
  29. 8:51 you're a troll and therefore deserve all that is thrown at you.

    ReplyDelete
  30. End ford should probably worry about the upcoming election instead of this stupid blog. And his waist line. Council dude is a fat ass. Eat a salad you fuck. April 7th is almost here! Goodbye Eddie goodbye!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ed Ford got bitch slapped and doesn't like it. Ed, you are a POS politician that has done nothing. If Im wrong, you have a free spot to tell me why. I bet you have nothing!

    ReplyDelete
  32. You may be anonymous, but you're comments are not invisible. Everyone can see the ignorant anger. I think everyone made Ford's point rather well. Keep being classy trolls.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hey Tony, long time denizen here.
    I've told you before, I'll tell you again..I admire the dedication you have for your craft.

    Keep at it.Chuck is right, when we wanna know wtf's really going on ,we read your blog.

    Byron is back and he's making a lot of sense!

    ReplyDelete
  39. All Byron does is try and piss people off and he makes hateful posts saying just the opposite of what he was saying under Anonymous.

    He is a sick fucking pervert who needs to be in jail for his fraud and robbing of the working class people. To say you like Byron is to say you advocate welfare fraud.

  41. 9:36 is Byron you idiot, he learned how to stoke his own cock from Glazer.

    You're finished!

  45. I like Byron

  46. Ed Ford ignored the convergence of food, water and energy crises could create a 'perfect storm' within about fifteen years.

    ReplyDelete
  47. As of last year, humans are using more resources than the Earth can replenish and the planet's distribution of resources among its terrestrial inhabitants is massively unequal. This is what happened to Rome and the Mayans

    ReplyDelete
  48. I hope we get more rape pictures for the pervs to respond to.

    Free speech, at its best.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hey, Ed: Be careful stepping into this shit-storm of a blog--somebody's bound to fuck you in the ass and cum on your tits.

    ReplyDelete
  50. 10:57 is Byron as well.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Ed Ford is demonstrating that he is out of touch. Class? Keep it classy? How about "Keep it classist." Here everyone has a chance to speak. Sure, sometimes what comes out is pure drivel. But do we lament the opportunity or the exercise of that opportunity?

    Famously Noam Chomsky stated that "Only unpopular speech needs protections." This is absolutely true. Get off your high horse and see that this is one of the only forums where we get to experience the exercise of free speech in an undiluted form. And I am thankful that it not only exists, but is also popular with the masses.

    Our politicians get away with murdering the budget for pet projects that do less-than-nothing for the city. TKC sheds more light on the city than all the other news organizations combined.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Hey Ed Ford, you fat fucking carnival calling bitch, how about stripping off that cheap Harold Penner suit, dropping to your knees and getting a mouthful of Polar Prick.......

    Fat fucking asshole. Go lick some S'lie James bunghole.

    Fucking racist. Leave my yard spic alone. Fucker.

  53. Ed Ford, useless as yesterday's newspaper, AND that's saying something because yesterday's newspaper was just as useless yesterday!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Free, dirty speech.

    ReplyDelete
  55. "You may be anonymous, but you're comments are not invisible. Everyone can see the ignorant anger."

    You may not be anonymous, Byron, but everyone can see you anger over your wasted life and envy of those who do their best to make their lives better.

    ReplyDelete
  56. And yet, here you are again 8:26! And yet again at 8:51. Wouldn't that make you a troll?

    ReplyDelete
  57. " ... theJew conspiracy silencing the white man ... "

    What I love most about Tony's blog is that it is one of the few places, online or anywhere else, where we can see the naked thought processes of average Kansas and Missouri residents on display.

    Most Americans regard these two states as vile shitholes of ignorance and reactionary hatred. What Tony's commenters tell us is that this viewpoint is the correct one.

  58. 7:57, pleas go back to sucking your little nigger masah's penis you know it all faggot.

  59. Wait a fucking minute here! If Ed Ford is reading this blog why is he not posting using his real name? WTF?

  60. 7:57--- Says the guy reading Tony's blog in an effort to find material to reinforce his confirmation bias.

  61. 7:57: So you would be here (Kansas/Missouri and on TKC) ... why?

    ReplyDelete
  62. I bet Ed doesn't dig Jordan Carver either. All politicians are psychopaths and fascists at heart even from the lowest rung of the political food chain, where Ed dwells to the highest, like Obama. Obama is so committed to Democracy that he wants to make voting mandatory. Does Obama see the irony in his statement?

  65. ST. PATRICK'suckus

    Whew! I'm late to the comments here. Somebody slipped something into one of my dozen Guinness and I've been groggy for days.

    Ed Ford cites his regular readership of the TKC blog while criticizing it.....kind of like the guy who claims he subscribes to Playboy for the articles!!!!!! DOUCHE!!!

    PANEL: MAMSimons still needs a longer name. SGlorioso is saluting. MO'Halloran is consulting. CKemper is the lone voice of reason.

    HANCOCK JEWED SCHWEICH DOWN
    Kemper speaks truth about the Star's Editorial knuckle-dragging ways. Glorioso sets Shanin straight on Hancock's slander. O'Halloran quotes the most excellent Danforth. Simons calls for less biting, to which Crosby asks if Ruckus is over.

    UFO BEAMS HILLARY ABOARD ALIENSHIP
    MAMSimons admits to viewing FOX news regularly. Shanin waxes nostalgic for Lewinsky and Whitewater. O'Halloran falsely claims no rules were broken. Glorioso also loves FOX news!

    KC STAR LOVES TAXES (for other people)
    Glorioso regurgitates the Barnes years. Fast-forward to the 20:00 mark, and behold the sage wisdom of CKemper on city spending:

    "We're one of the highest tax cities in the country now."
    "We are last in job development, of the 70 largest cities in the United States over the last decade."
    "We're spending money on things like the streetcar instead of healthcare, housing....this budget is a disaster, high tax, low service!"

    No need to say anything else, as the liberals can't compete with the truth emanating from Kemper's mouth.

  66. Who is Ed Ford to moralize and condemn TKC? He's in no position to condemn TKC for its platform when Mr. Ford has stood silently by watching and participating in government corruption, collusion and bad faith. Perhaps, some of the comments on this blog do exceed rational thinking but so does virtually every decision, vote and project Mr. Ford has taken up. Mr. Ford please take several seats and STFU!

  67. Brian Stadler, you are not a lawyer in Missouri. Please refrain from using Esquire after your name.

  68. So, supposed Kansas City Councilman, Ed Ford, just wants to Blow Smoke up everybodys Ass, and that's the way it is, don't question him or his Pathetic Liberal Agenda, to silence those that catch on to him and his Phony Agendas !

    ED FORD ranking right up there with KCMO Former Council women Carol Coe from the 1990's that caused so much controversy, as well as Tax Payer Money !!!

    ED FORD, rather YOU like it or NOT, you ran to Represent the Citizens of this community, NOT be a Self-Serving Politician, and if YOU can't do that, than get your Ass out of office pronto' !!!

    I always liked that part in Goodfellas at the Restraunt as the exited out the back door !!

    Good Day, Mr. Ford !
