This is an open letter to 'Madman', a frequent and angry commenter here at Hermann Hearsay. 'Madman' apparently doesn't like what Clark Kant and I have been reporting with respect to the performance of certain elected county officials. In his angry comments, all of which we have published, 'Madman' has challenge the veracity and accuracy of reports filed by Clark Kant and me. 'Madman' has also challenged the legitimacy of a Press Release we published a few days ago from A. E. Newman, a candidate for the office of Southern District Associate Commissioner.
'Madman', we do not know your true identity, because it has always been our policy to publish comments from anonymous commenters and from commenters who choose to use fictitious 'usernames'. For all we know, you could be one of the very county officials we have reported on critically or you could be a close relative or friend of one of these county officials. Why do we speculate that this could in fact be the case? It is only because you have been so passionate and defensive with your angry comments. What else could explain your high degree of agitation?
'Madman', you have been pressing us for a response to your wild and angry accusations that we are not reporting truthfully. You have been pressing us for a response to your wild and angry accusations that A. E. Newman's candidacy for county office is somehow illegitimate. You have called us all sorts of derogatory names ..... something you're very good at doing, 'Madman'!
Well now, 'Madman', you say you want answers? You say you want the truth? Is that correct? DO YOU WANT THE TRUTH, 'Madman'?
'Madman', please be informed that Hermann Hearsay intends to continue reporting on the job performance of county office holders, your protestations and wild accusations notwithstanding. There is more reporting to come. We will lay out the facts which back up our reports.. We will inform the public about Missouri state audit deficiencies, and we will substantiate our reports with a reproduction of that audit. We will inform the public about the misuse and mismanagement of public funds. And we will produce our evidence. Yes, there is much more to come, 'Madman'. So, if you just can't handle the TRUTH, you may want to consider NOT reading our website any longer. And when we lay out the TRUTH, 'Madman', if you choose to comment, then kindly be professional enough to address your comments to any inaccuracies in our reporting you may wish to point out to our readers. Your 'mad' rantings "prove nothing", and they do not reflect well upon you or your personal credibility.

I'm waiting Madman. Cletus
ReplyDeleteWell while we are waiting for Madman to put his big girl panties on let's play question and answer. What county offical or family member filed a bogus ethics charge against a fellow county offical which was quickly thrown out? Cletus
ReplyDeleteCletus,
ReplyDeleteI just don't remember the issue you're talking about being reported by Jeff Noedel at CNL or Dave Marner the Gasconade County Republican. How could these two fine "journalists" have missed such a BIG STORY?

Cletus,
ReplyDeleteWith respect to that false ethics complaint filed with the Missouri Ethics Complaint against Commissioner Matt Penning, I might be mistaken but I do believe the fellow filing that complaint was lil' Kyle Lairmore, son of Commissioner Jerry Lairmore. My recollection is that the complaint was investigated and dismissed. Kyle Lairmore was put on notice to cease and desist filing false and frivolous complaints with a busy state agency.
Is that the way you heard it, Cletus?

So Madman is looking for the TRUTH, is he? Here's some TRUTH for him ..... Commissioner Jerry Lairmore called Commissioner Matt Penning a "lieing son-of-a-bitch" during a county road department meeting in front of county road department employees this past summer. Real professional, eh?! Want some more TRUTH, Madman. I have more .... IF you can handle it!
ReplyDeleteWell I came back hoping for some Madmax, oops, I mean Madman tantrum. Darn the luck.
ReplyDeleteI just came from a site called backcountynewslive or somethin' like that and I was watching a video that bored me to tears.
I went there to look for that same video earlier and it was like a paid per view or something, so I figured it must be good, when I checked back later I thought oh goodie they put up for free, something good to watch...boy was I wrong!!!
Sure glad that I didn't go ahead and pay earlier.
Gotta go, too much good free stuff here to check-out!!! Tired of wasting my time at this post, waiting for someone who will probably, never be back.
Too bad, it was so much fun watching a Madman getting his panties in such a bunch!!!
Lets start with a simple truth.... there is no A.E. Newman. So, all your reporting on what he says is.. a lie! Right?? You print comments, and stories on non existent people! Stump speeches that never were. Panties in a wad?? You wrote the long winded rant, not me!! Check your panties, Dick. But don't do it near the Sheriff, I her tell you soil them when he's around...
ReplyDeleteAs to Lairmore's Comments about Penning, well if the shoe fits. Matt says it wasn't dirty politics and about the election, yet since the election, the issue has all but died, hasn't it. Appears he was right, by the actions, and as to frivolous lawsuits and ethics charges, seems Penning did exactly the same thing.... so once again, if the shoe fits, wear it! You pick on The GCR.. and CNL... has the Hermann AC covered these stories in depth?? Thought not.... rather selective in your vindictive attacks aren't you? Politically motivated? Dirty politics Dick??
Challenge the legitimacy of Newman's press release?? You betcha! So, You want to diss on me?? Produce him? Or you're the liar and one hiding from the truth, you're whole site is a made up farce of BS!!
And you keep harping on audits, and imagined illegal stuff, yet no one with a badge, or any authority, here, or higher up, has said so! only you, and your little band of miscreants!! So, go blow my friend, because you're full of it! don't let a little of it out, you very well may pop!! Hahaha!
And why do you keep saying I'm angry?? I'm anything but! Actually, I'm quite happy, when I know i'm right. Like you. you claim to be a Republican, like a few other frauds in town here, but your actions, and methods screw Democrat dirty! Funny how that is. Dick, you and all the rest of the voices in your head, have a nice day!! Hahaha!! See? I'm Happy!
