Questions about McCormack Jackson suit
I agree with Mr. Bauder that women need to set boundaries early in any relationship. Some women learn to accept benefits from using their charms. Then they can turn the tables for their advantage. In Games People Play, a psychiatrist laid this all out in the 50's. Everyone benefits from the attacks on Filner; the trade unions get construction work, Gloria Allred gets publicity, developers can evade the general plan, the good ole boys are back in power downtown. Drama is the twist of the screw where the victim becomes the avenging angel. It is a diabolical process in most cases.— July 23, 2013 10:03 a.m.
Former Development Services Director ordered staff to delete comments to get large church project approved
DSD was created specifically to filter public comments, Bob Filner was aware of this. That's why he must go, Sexual harassment charges may well be justified. Bur here is the main reason the developers control the oress and DSD. Always follow the money in San Diego and your investigation will lead you to the truth,— July 23, 2013 9:43 a.m.
Mayor's Office flooded with panties
They wanted a strong mayor.— July 22, 2013 2:54 p.m.
Why Filner should file a defamation case
Hot water!!!!!!— July 22, 2013 1:20 p.m.
Why Filner should file a defamation case
Well, after Gloria Allred's press conference, it looks like the Mayor will be in hot water... The Mayor's Communications Director is one of the victims. She gave up a job herein she made $50, 000 more per year. Irene McCormack has filed a lawsuit in Superior Court, having obtained a right to sue letter from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing. That filing is a procedural prerequisite if attorney's and costs are to be awarded, I found the allegations to be credible. There are other women who have been harassed and are offended. I predict that he will be forced to step down. Lot's of luck on defamation. The Mayor could cross-complaint for defamation, but he is in— July 22, 2013 1:19 p.m.
Why Filner should file a defamation case
Gloria Allred will give details about one alleged victim who works for the City. This will be a coup wherein we might see a recall election yet.— July 22, 2013 10:30 a.m.
Why Filner should file a defamation case
Republicans care about money, not women's rights. Take Congressman Issa, for example. I would conduct discovery to find out what role union contracts played in this matter. Let us remember how Jimmy Hoffa delivered the Teamster vote for Nixon. I strongly suspect that there are developer deals and union deals behind this, just as much as there were union and developer deals behind the pension debacle that bankrupted the city (almost). Deals do not go through in this city unless power brokers from the left and right make a deal. Unions are sometimes able to cave in to pro-war or pro-development forces while being socially liberal. I dare say that Obama did just that with bankers. Beware the wolves in sheeps' clothing, they might just pass themselves off as Democrats.— July 22, 2013 6:56 a.m.
Filner case is falling apart at the seams
And when George W. Bush drunkenly massaged German Chancellor's Bach and shoulders, not a single protest was lodged by Pelosi or any of the San Diego crowd. In fact impeachment was "off the table." In our society, you can lie our country into war, but you must be true to your fiancee'. Republicans are forgiven their trespasses for sex scandals. Trying Filner in the press was a bad idea. It is easy enough to have a private investigator take down witness statements and turn those over to the proper law enforcement or govermental claims department of the City. One such claim or police report would have ended the alleged conduct long ago. This should be an empowering lesson for women.— July 21, 2013 8:33 a.m.
Rally to recall Filner fizzles
Women stay silent at times in the face of sexualized advances by men so that they can refuse the advance politely yet bring it up later if it is to their advantage. Women are often hired based on good looks. They can play a game of using their sexual attractiveness to gain advantage with a male boss, or failing that, to blow the whistle when it suits their purposes at sms layer date. Nobody alleges that Filner hired women based on their putting out. We must empower women to understand that they are not passive victims. When a single man tells a so.an she is beautiful, and she asks about whether he is engaged, this is a prelude to a kiss.— July 21, 2013 8:17 a.m.
Saldana says Filner's actions not illegal
Agreed, Don. The Mayor has the right to confront and cross-examine the witnesses against him. The fact that attorneys have taken a case does not prove the allegations. These "smart lawyers" want fees from the City and the Mayor. Both have collected fees from the taxpayers before. The fireworks suit cost $750, 000 in attorneys fees from the taxpayers. These lawyers are environmental attorneys, not lawyers who hold the record for the greatest number of plaintiff's verdicts, nor size of verdicts. Filner kissed an adult woman in an automobile. He is abrasive at times. The smart attorneys wanted to try the Mayor in the press. I suspect that none of the cases have much value unless the Mayor resigns. Plus, there is a good chance that they have other agendas, political and professional. Otherwise, they would have advised their clients to contact police or h6man resources.— July 20, 2013 10:29 a.m.
