Craigslist Political Blogging
I've always been amused at some of the postings I've seen in the Craigslist local Politics and Local News and Views sections. As of late, though, it looks like those sections are giving our local bloggers a run for their money as far as hard- hitting commentary goes.
This one, posted Sunday, claims the Lost Coast Outpost is giving the Sheriff's Office the IP addresses of those making comments. He(?) claims Sheriff's deputies visited him after he made a negative comment about their anti- pot activities.
This one, posted Monday, claims city council candidates Chet Albin and Mike Newman are in cahoots with low life, ambulance chaser Jason Singleton of disability lawsuit infamy. They want to shut down more Eureka businesses.
He seems to really dislike local blogger, John Chiv. He goes after John Chiv in this second post from Monday.
He doesn't like Rex Bohn either, according to this post, especially if he's in the company of John Chiv.
And from today's post, we find out the Lost Coast Outpost has aligned with Humboldt Citizens for Property Rights in a conspiracy to keep tourists away.
The ones above were from Local News and Views. He cross posted some of those to the Politics section, but this original one from Wednesday exposes the Lost Coast Outpost as a front for conservative voices including local "conservative"(?), Alan Dolllson.
Hard to compete with that sort of stuff, huh? He keeps this up he might run the rest of us local bloggers out of business (gulp!).

Love the fart cloud photoshop work! Kudos!
Freakin' hilarious!
You can tell all those craigslist posts were from the same "tin foil wearing hat" SoHum person.
Dude, put down the bong and take your meds. Or better yet, don't. I need the laugh.
Fred, thanks for posting this but seriously anyone who thinks LOCO is a front for conservatives has no clue.
However, he or she may be onto something. Alliances and appearances can be deceiving.
Certain phrases give this person away. It's a simple case of blogger envy from someone who has no real power.
As a wise person once said to me, don't waste your time on anonymous attacks.
The fact that this person feels the need to go after people shows he or she is threatened. Which means every person attacked is effective.

Oh this is too funny, Chives thinks he's a local power broker! Fred's got you beat by a landslide tubby, and Fred would be the first to note that his political influence is limited to the blogging community, ie around 100 or less voters.
