 | Former Black Panther Larry Gossett has been elected Chairman of the King County Council |
Gossett said he will work readily with the GOP minority.Gossett is my nominal representative on the Council and his office has yet to return a single one of my calls or e-mails. Maybe he'll be more gracious now that he's Chairman. And if he fails to live up to this promise, he will undoubtedly welcome aggrieved citizens to hold sit-ins in his office.

So... Tell us...
What DID Larry Gossett have for dinner last night? Can you taste it, yet??
Apparently, Mr. Gossett is as much of a coward now, as he was back when he was running around with that glorified street gang known as the "Black Panthers".
"If ya can't face the heat (or the tough questions), stay the HELL out of POLITICS".
Your a little quiet on the "War on Christmas" You afraid to insult your minnow minions? But don't worry, there will be a place for the well behaved, propaganda pushing jews, in their new world order. Can you say Crusades(XVI)? I know you love your Roman numerals. Why can't you just use english numbers when your in America. Why do you hate the troops? Posted by: Danw on December 12, 2006 12:14 PM
Can't ANY of you loony leftists put together two coherent sentences that aren't rife with spelling and grammatical errors?? Just goes to show that the Publik Skrool system is working SO well in this state. (Either that, you guys were too busy smoking dope and listening to Jimi Hendrix records to care about learning ANYTHING...) The trolls on this site are getting to be like reading the comments on the Olympian's website. There are just SOOO many examples of "higher learning" (pun intended) that you can't read through a whole thread without getting the munchies.

Still banging money and raising doors? (Aharyuk!) Are you thrilled that the people of the 8th want to continue the Bush Administration's policies?
Posted by: Hinton on December 12, 2006 12:36 PMSheesh. Get a grip.
Posted by: Rey Smith on December 12, 2006 12:42 PMWe stomped your butts all over the state and all over the country, and came closer than we ever had to winning in a District that had never elected a Democrat to Congress. So Merry Christmas to you.
Posted by: ivan on December 12, 2006 01:25 PMThink about that next time you see a panther.
Pot, meet kettle. Funny that you should mention Woody Hayes. I like to think of him in defeat. I was at Penn State in 1964 when we went into Columbus to play the 7-0, #2-rated Buckeyes on Band Day, where the bands spell out O-H-I-O in cursive and the one lucky little guy gets to dot the i.
Woody had vowed to crush us because we had beaten them 10-7 at Columbus the year before. We beat them 27-0, and they didn't even cross the 50 till late in the second quarter.
Woody came unglued, threw his hat, stomped on the sidelines, screamed at the refs, his whole act. We laughed at him all the more.
The 2006 election was your 1963 game, and the 2008 election will be your 1964 game. Payback is hell.

are you obviously younger and have not reviewed your history, despite your historic name? check the paper archives.
"...by any means.." ring a bell? "armed resistance" ring a bell? ask some older cops/their families from Chicago.
Panthers weere not known to carry water pistols or paint ball guns. They usually did not march for global warming or 'no fur clothing.' wake up. ever hear of snipers in the 'projects?' i thought not. more convenient to forget the nasty parts of history that fit your the pc agenda.
not to say current folk still support their former ideas, but it's relevant for figures in and given the public trust, don't you think? after all, everyone gets their skeletons exposed by the libs & conservatives. fair is fair, right?
Posted by: jimmie-howya-doin on December 12, 2006 03:46 PMOf course, being a liberal Dem, he doesn't have to apologize any more than Robert Byrd has to apologize for his high rank in the KKK all those years ago. Or Trent Lott for saying nice things about Strom Thurmond... oh, wait a minute...
Posted by: sro on December 12, 2006 04:33 PMWhatever can those Council people be thinking?
It's a mockery of the system to put this type of political nonenity in such a position. They sould be ashamed of themselves for even nominating him for the position.

They haven't apologized for John Kerry yet. In fact, I'd bet ivan still thinks he's a viable candidate.

Kerry's Mentor: Black Panther And Phony Vietnam Vet, Al Hubbard
Posted by: Pagar on December 12, 2006 05:15 PMThe black community was justifiably pissed at the establishment after the assassination of MLK and the Panthers arose as a result of that rage.
Many of the charges in the Bay Area resulted from unprovokes raids by CA officials when the Panthers armed themselves in accordance with the 2nd amendment.
I would remind you all of the outrage that emanated from the conservative movement when the Clinton Administration began using the same tactics Ruby Ridge in Idaho and in Waco. I'm not convinced that the Panthers were treated in a very different manner.
Posted by: deadwood on December 12, 2006 05:18 PMKing. But it sure seems to display a lot of anger,
and Al Farmer appears to be serious about the plan.

New Witness: Kerry Was Present at Dark Plot Meeting
Group Debated and Voted Down Plan To Assassinate Senators
Clean house, Gossett was elected because Phillips was going to go for a third term as chair and some of the Dem's where growing weary of him in that capacity. What will Gossett do as chair?...nothing significant, just expensive.
Posted by: Smokie on December 12, 2006 06:14 PM
Note to Phillips: cut back on the sodium (or the sauce)--your head's about to explode.
Posted by: Organization Man on December 12, 2006 06:26 PMOne more Stroke from the stress and you will lose the Senate.
Keep it up!
Posted by: GS on December 13, 2006 10:19 PMWhat happened to Larry Philips? And how did Gossett get the nomination? I heard Julia Patterson, Bob Ferguson, and Dow Constantine were all considering a bid to replace Philips, but the Republicans were balking at replacing Philips. (With Ferguson maybe, but the other Dems were unwilling to support him).
What the heck is happening at the Council?!
Posted by: Cicero on December 16, 2006 09:43 AMMeanwhile Jane Hague has once again secured the Employment position, where she makes sure the actual Council runs smoothly. (And also give herself leverage over the Council Staff, and over all the other council members).
