Mary Defends Sims, Macy, Of Course

Mary Souza and her conspiracy theorists @ Not-So-OpenCDA.com believe they have a gotcha moment in one of my posts from yesterday — the one in which I reproduced Kathy Sims’ 2007 attack ad against 3 CdA council incumbents. In defense of Sims and Tom Macy — and their inability to file proper campaign finance forms — Mary added this footnote to make an obvious point re: the photo of the campaign ad that she swiped from my Web site without permission: This was taken from the “other” website, so it implies that former city councilwoman Dixie Reid, whose name and address are on the scan, probably gave it to the web author.” Of course Dixie gave the flyer to me. She didn’t care that people knew that when I first published the ad back in November 2007. She wouldn’t care now. Dixie isn’t afraid of Mary and her gang. You can read Mary’s entire spiel, under the headline “City of Vengeance” in context here .

Question: Do you think the city’s action against Kathy Sims, Tom Macy, and Concerned Taxpayers of Kootenai County will have a chilling effect on individuals considering last-minute campaign shenanigans in the future?
