THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD????

"The leaders of the free world, including the mayor, the sheriff, the state's attorney and the publisher and editor of our new newspaper"

Mayor Jim Ireton sent this out to ALL of his facebook friends this morning. They are calling themselves "the Leaders of the Free World."

I'll leave the the comments up to you.

You can say that again 4:58! It's bizarre. Here you have the "reporter" who supposely played a joke on the mayor standing by the mayor. Half of Salisbury does not believe it was a spoof and won't ever.

Then you have JR who everyone knows posted on a blog that is no better than a porn site with it's crude language and descriptions standing next to public officials. JR posted over there using his real name and it's like the sheriff and states attorney are condoning what goes on over there by standing along side this whack pack.

I see lewis is standing on a box again

Anonymous said...

never thought I'd see Lewis or Mat
hit the bottom of the barrel.
I'm sure Lewis will retire now with 2 large retirements , state and county, so he probably
don't give a crap who he associates with.

Leaders? Of what? Leaders lead by example. They do NOT set a very good example for people to follow.

I am truly shocked that Lewis and Matt would associate themselves with these miscreants. Unbelievable.

Joe,

I love your blog and have tried to be objective while reading your news and opinions over the years. This display of narcissism by these psychopaths seals the deal for me in regards to Matt and Mike. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt until now. The others are no surprise. I wish I could vote for you only being a county resident. I can tell you who I will not be voting for.

We lead by doing and not by talking or posting Facebook pictures. Keep doing. Keep trying. People will follow that and you will inspire other leaders to do the same.

SO please who what's up with this taylor ignoramous? Thanks

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 6:25, you went so far as to repeat it by copying and pasting it to give it that much more attention. I/We "approved" your comment as well. Unlike the MANY has been reporters from the Daily Times that are no longer employed there, am I/We to censor anonymous comments? This is why they'll never be trusted. Are you following me now?

Doesn't homophobia mean a fear of homosexuals?

Who is afraid of Jim Ireton?

Stop with the homophob BS. He acts like a girl. Ever watch him throw a fit? Now go watch a teen girl throw a fit. They look about the same.

as a law enforcement officer who has known Mike for many years, i can say that i am honestly shocked that he is associating with these idiots(Ireton, Taylor and the fat girl).

The arrogance is breathtaking.

i mean Robinson. Taylor is the idiot not pictured.

I know Matt is in opposition to two people in this picture and he's told me so. I guess your job can require some level of sacrifice!

Anonymous said...

By 6:25s standards I guess we will no longer be able to say. He throws like a girl, you hit like a girl, man up, Grow a set..I guess 6:25 just wants to limit our free speech.

Do not understand what these people hope to accomplish with this picture.

Disgusting, just downright disgusting! Why would a Sheriff and a States Attorney even be in the same room with the other three, let alone anywhere near them. Certainly tells me alot about the company they keep.

Anonymous said...

well I did 6 years here, and am leaving on the 1st of September. That picture is a good reason why. why there are no easy ways for a person to branch out and expand,, If you are lucky to have a job, and lose it, You probably will not find another one. Train Tracks not used for transportation, A Joke of a Public transit system, Just a poor area with no future. I am lucky I am able to be leaving. May GOD Bless you all and I hope Joe can make a change in your future. I will miss this pplace,, But I am kinda sure it will fade easily!

Look Homo if you can't stand the heat that stay out of the kitchen. You act like anal sex with 2 men is normal?? You are the problem my friend. Don't force your homosexual lifestyle on us and try to make us accept it through guilt. GO AWAY!!

This is so upsetting on so many levels. What is happening to the city of Salisbury? For goodness sake can't these elected officials display some sense of maturity and professionalism? The mayor should be held accountable for this - he has time to post this on Facebook when the city continues to fall apart - he will be held accountable by voters. Matt and Sheriff Lewis look like fools. Stupid is as stupid does! I'm glad you are in the race Joe!!!

I'm disappointed and disgusted with Lewis and Maceriello -- both shoukd not be reelected.

Come on Ernie Leatherbury. Come show Lewis who the real leader of the world is.

I don't understand the argument of homosexuals: "We have the right to believe/act the way we want" but when straight people voice their opinion then they are offensive and homophobic". It's a two way street you can't have your cake and eat it too...

7:50 PM beautifully stated. I'm shocked at this behavior.

Well they sealed their fate with this picture, the only one missing is Salisbury's chief of police.

Anonymous said...

I guess after this JR will be completely relaxed next to his metal melting pot

The only thing missing is handcuffs and a raincoat over Robinson's fat head.

9:09, you're missing the point of the homosexual's argument. Yes, you're entitled to say that you disagree, you don't believe that it's right for two men to be in love, etc. Just like any racist can go out and say it's not right for a black guy to marry a white girl. When people say you're being offensive, they're not saying you can't voice your opinion. They're just saying your opinion is akin to the opinion of the Jim Crow South about 80 years ago.
