Stupid Is As Stupid Does
By Art Gallagher
Don’t click on this link and don’t read the posts there on NJ.com.
Makes you want to click on it. Doesn’t it?
What you will find there is the Marlboro forum on NJ.com where Paul J. Schlaflin of Marlboro, a supporter of the incumbent Democrats running for reelection in Marlboro, is telling readers not to come to this web site. Thanks for the traffic Paul. So far today I’ve picked up at least 80 new readers.
Schlaflin also declares that I am a Republican operative that the Marlboro Republicans have bought because Strong New Jersey has an ad on this site supporting the Marlboro Republican team.
All of that is pretty funny. Especially considering that the Marlboro Democrats have a banner ad on the NJ.com forum that Schalfin is unwittingly using to send MMM traffic.
But there is other Schlaflin material on that site that is not funny. It is disgusting and disgraceful.
Schlaflin is waging an ugly and unsubstainitated smear campaign against Marlboro Republican Council Candidate Christopher Dean. He has used the comments on this site and at NJ.com to do so. He has alleged that Dean is a racist and anti-Semite.
Schlaflin also said that I am tolerant of and complicit towards racism.
This from a man, Schlaflin, who on 9-11-01 painted the words “Death to the Sand Niggers” on his truck and parked it at a Marlboro bar.
This from a man who resigned from the Marlboro Planning Board, an appointment he received from Mayor Hornick, in disgrace over an Ethics Board finding, later overturned on a legal technicality, about similar vile behavior on the Internet during another Marlboro campaign.
I don’t know Christopher Dean well. However, people I do know well and trust, Whites, Blacks and Jews, tell me that there is no way that Dean is a racist or an anti-Semite. Schlaflin has a vile track record. I believe my friends. You should too.
Mayor Hornick should immediately condemn Schlaflin’s behavior. Hornick should go on NJ.com and come to this site and reputiate Schlafin. He should pledge never to appoint Schlaflin to another municipal position and to ban him from his campaign.
I deplore the type of politics in which Schlaflin is engaging. For now, I’m giving Hornick the benefit of the doubt that Schlaflin is a rogue. Yet Hornick needs to deal with the rogue. Immediately.
Over the years since I started this blog there have been several occassions where someone has offered damaging personal dirt on an elected official or a candidate. Every time my response has been, “Bring me proof.” Proof was never forth coming.
A few months back, someone suggested that I OPRA police reports in Marlboro and Freehold involving Jon Hornick. My response to the person was, “Do your own dirty work. I don’t have an axe to grind with Hornick.”
As I told Mary Pat Angelini on the Real Jersey Guys Radio Show this afternoon, I was an “anti-bullying specialist” in my youth. If anyone I liked, loved or cared about was bullied, I handled it.
Schlaflin involved me personally and my site in his bullying. He did so on behalf on Jon Hornick, Frank LaRocca and Randi Marder.
Suddenly I am motivated. That is why Schlaflin’s actions are really stupid. If Schlaflin is an off the ranch rogue, Hornick, LaRocca and Marder need to say so in the strongest possible terms. That would make me a lot less motivated to grind my axe.
Maybe there is nothing in those police reports and the tipster was attempting to spin my wheels. I’d rather not know.
Your turn Mayor.

Speaking of unseemly campaigns, this Democrat campaign reminds me of the movie Ides Of March, which I just saw.
What’s inconceivable to me is that people continue to vote for cretins like this. Is it inertia? Laziness? How is it that people who do not bother to think will go press a voting booth button?
Nothing is more satisfying then smacking a bully around.
Looks like someone who was involved in the last campaign found a new website to run. I guess going after the D’s and Paul would have been too obvious. Just watch for the offer of submissions that will be kept private (unless they can be used to the owners advantage politically)
We are at an age where “cultural competency” is essential. One must not present biaes, prejudice, bigotry, or discrimination. I know Chris Dean very well also, much like the author of this article claims. Chris Dean is bias toward the “rich white man”, he is prejudice against anyone of another race or religion. He has been heard refering to people as “jebs”, “homies”, “Niggers”, “Rag head”, and “dot head”, and the list continues on. He claims to be a Christian, yet Christians dont judge others. Christians are supposed to be non judgemental because Jesus is the real judge. To all that read NO I am not a Christian, I am diest. I believe in equality and acceptance of everyone despite their race, ethnicity, culture, and religion. America is the land of the free, you are free to choose your canidates. I just wanted to shed some light, if you are not white and rich dont expect him to have your back.
