Very interesting how the 'fairer' article written a few days ago was NOT in the Daily Record online edition, but the hack jobs are. (Today's hack job).
Very interesting how the nj.con board frauds were mentioning the article at 3AM. What kind of advance notice of this article was given? Were these people just randomly checking the Daily Record at 3AM? I find that hard to believe.
Shame on you Mr. Jennings. You had a chance to correct yourself in stating that the Free Speech board, although run by a supporter of VORT, is not run by VORT. Instead, you chose the sensationistic low road by saying "Maier's message was posted on The Rockaway Township Free Speech Message Board, which is available as a link from the Voices of Rockaway Township Web site." Mr. Jennings - it is also available as a link from the Rockaway Truth site. Your failure to mention THAT fact is a failure as your duty to be a balanced reporter. This board is about Free Speech. Both sides link here, because this is the only place were free and open conversation can take place.
Mr. Jennings - why have you not visited the nj.con board? Why do you NOT report on the vicious lies and attacks of VORT members and their supporters that has been taking place there over the past month? Why has Rev. Ireland NOT been asked to disavow these attacks, which are clerely an organized effort to divide Rockaway Township through lies and personal attacks? Why are you reporting only half the story?
Also very interesting how the Star Ledger has not gotten involved AT ALL in any of this 'fray'...
3:39AM - the advance knowledge of the article and the lies / attacks begin:

Is a good example of how vort and the people they support are making the towns job very tough. With the way vort and people like craig who is a big supporter of them hurt the people who want a school. The way they in vort are trying to make this a religious issue is hurting the town. Vort is a rogue group that has no offical town backing. They are 4 people with a agenda against peoples faith.
Herson said Maier's statements "in no way expresses my view or the view of my center."
MATTHEW HOW IS THIS SOMEHOW "BETTER" THAN VORT SAYING CRAIG'S OPINIONS ARE HIS OWN?
"He thinks they're out to get him," Herson said. "I don't know why he feels so strongly about it. He feels personally threatened. I don't feel it's reasonable to get that excited, but that's how he feels."
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM "CRAIG'S OPINIONS ARE HIS OWN?"
Christ Church spokesman Marc Weinstein, who previously expressed disappointment that town and community leaders were not repudiating Maier's statements, complimented Herson.
"The church is very pleased that Rabbi Herson has taken a stand against Mr. Maier's comments. We hope that other religious and community leaders in Rockaway Township will follow suit," Weinstein said.
WHY? WHO CARES WHAT ONE PERSON SAYS? OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE DOES, HMM? SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO SELL LOTS OF PAPERS AND STIR THE POT.
Maier responded on Thursday afternoon by saying that he respected Herson's opinion and was only speaking for himself.
"I'm just a schmuck who put something on an Internet bulletin board," said Maier, who added that he would not retract his Internet post.
CRAIG, SOOOO FUNNY YOU CALLED YOURSELF A SCHMUCK! AND GOOD FOR YOU THAT YOU WON'T RETRACT IT. IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT RELIGION ANYMORE, IT'S ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

Denounce by mrsstark999, 5/7/04 6:38 ET Reverend Ireland, it is puzzling to me that you don't denounce the blatant lies that are being spread by YOUR supporter here. How is this different from the people of VORT taking a "no comment" stance on Mr. Maier's statement? Perhaps this issue should be mentioned in the Record by Mr. Jennings-- I'd be interested in a response that doesn't change the subject. Thanks. "
That is great! Yeah, I am sure Rev. Ireland spends all his time checking the message boards! Amazing. It is actually far more realistic to think that there are a couple yahoos who just like to get you folks riled up - it seems to be pretty easy.
Is the fact that you do not realize that his PR firm is behind the rabble rouse campaign. And they did stike a little gold getting Jennings to play ball with his biased reporting.

Blame others if it makes you feel better. Your words and actions are your own.

Since I do not agree with you I am obviously a shill, there is no other explanation. (and since I haven't seen Ted under my Rock in a while that is just more evidence I guess.)
