Some of us have sat back and listened to offensive quotes emanating from Selectman Adam Bond for almost a year.
.
Remember when he called the opposition braying mules?
.
I encountered Mr. Bond the day that quote was FIRST published in the Boston Globe.
.
Although I hadn't yet read the article or quote, apparently Mr. Bond had received so much criticism, that he offered an excuse immediately.
.
At that time, his excuse was that he had been misquoted by the reporter - his comment was taken out of context.
.
Of course, I went home and called the reporter. During the conversation, she assured me that she had not taken the comment out of context.
.
Several days later, Mr. Bond repeated the same comment.
.
It was curious to consider Mr. Bond's excuse when several months later, he not only took my comments out of context, but deliberately edited the comments to alter their meaning.
.
At the TMFH, Mr. Bond described voters as stupid.
.
In August, Mr. Bond excused a convicted rapist and serial liar by saying that we all have skeletons in our closet.
.
Huh?
.
There are numerous other examples of Mr. Bond's unthinking comments creating offense.
.
Clearly, the most recent racism and Holocaust comments were inexcusable.
.
Fault me as you choose, but the Holocaust comments will remain on my blog.
.
It should not have been posted.
.
It remained for 2 days until I posted the link to the radio station.
