McCarthyism takes a whole new form in Schenectady.

Not a DEM, you vote can't be bought, they'll attack you without evidence.

Sounds like history repeating itself.  

sounds like more BS from the peanut gallery. lol BTW, Rachel, u spellede McCarthyism wrong.. please work on your spelling, dear. as u like to play school marm with others.

Wow, thanks for the spell check. By the way, it's spelled 'you' not 'u', just for future reference.

now if only we could get rid of a certain candy shop on albany street.

Wow, so that really is how the dems operate - by threats of "getting rid" of the people with opposing political philosophies ... If I were Joe S., I'd have this threat in the hands of a lawyer / law enforcement so fast your head would spin.  I'm sure it wouldn't take much to get a subpoena to find out the owner of the "Smoking Bananas" account.

yes, seek a subpoena on the grounds of sarcasm. lol go for it.. u will be laughed out of court.....

yes, that is how we"democrats" work in the land of lala.....

just like the Republicans work in Albany -- vis-a-vis Angelo and his job.

I am sure that the guy is not afraid of this clown, he is paper pusher. I think he has had bigger, better and meaner people wanting to hurt him and his business before. But it speaks volumes about this gang of animals who want to destroy the small business of the community who carry the load and pay the taxes that keep them employed. They think can just call Schumie or Tonka for a government grant when they run out of money, I guess. It is nice to document the threat though, because he mentioned a specific target and threatens to harm them using his powers all because of the owner's political persuasion and past out-spoken ways against the dictators. The small business community will not be amused, and it may be a great fundraising tool for the Alliance party and GOP!  

Funny, I talked to an owner of a "candy store on albany street" today - he's not even aware of this forum.  Says his business is surging and dealing with petty stuff like this would take too much time from his customers.  Good for him, shows he's dedicated to customer service and improving his own business.

yes, a threat.. now we show how truly paranoid we are, eh gramie?

please document all u want, as I have documented your various racist, bizarre statements for when u decide to reenter the political arena.

how is the subpoena coming along, btw?

speaking of threats, Joe, do u remember the time when you tried to destroy the Mallozzi's with the smear flier of your? the one for which u got sued? please explain again how u were not trying to destroy a taxpaying business in the community?

Digging up fossilized dinosaur crap because there is no defense for the pitiful state the City has fallen under in the past 20 years.

Let's attack private citizens, the taxpayers and ignore the malfeasance in office. Right?

Smokey, when you own property in the City and begin to pay taxes, I'll respect your opinions about the City leadership. Right now, you're just a hypocrite without a vested interest in the City.  

fair enough

i guess the same agrument can apply to benny and grammie.. both of whom do not live in the city.. i do believe grammie has a business in city, but benny is a political operative with now ties to the city

same applies to MC Hammer, Bumblethrough and Mobile Terminal, plus others.. so let us exclude their opinions as well, shall we?

Oh? You know I don't live, own property, or live in the city, do you?  Or so you think ...

There is clearly not a level business playing field for old or new businesses. However, when  one sees businesses, such as cornells (a great long time restaurant) begin to fail even AFTER they were given many taxpayer's loans and then bailed out.....it should be clear to intelligent.....that things aren't quite as good as the elected officials and the gazetto cheers about.

Comparing fireside to cornells......... both are/were long time successful businesses......both provide/provided great service and products.........both ran into financial problems..............only cornells got bailed out!
If they hadn't been bailed out by the taxpayers and now the gazette............they too would be closing as fireside did.

There is no level playing field!!!
