for city Council, they don’t want anything to do with him! Politics at BEST! Terry, The Sierra Madre Weekly March 25 I absolutely concur with cumquat was not a your assessment of “parody” as you put John Crawford. I don’t it, but an obscene, know much about infantile attack on well John. He’s an enigma. respected folks. Do you John claims he is an really think Ms. Angus executive at Atlantic enjoyed the “parody” Records, although I’ve against her? never been able to Let us not forget that this confirm the fact. I do all about free speech. I know this much, John voted for Joe Mosca, has a lot of time on because I believed he his hands. Whether was going to preserve or not he is a busy our town. I didn’t know record executive, he then that he was a gay has plenty of time to American and truth be write a nasty, spiteful told, I wouldn’t have political blog that mixes cared. I still would have truth with fiction, and voted for him. I can run a slanderous city guarantee you that on council campaign full April 13, Mr Mosca will of more acrimony and not have my vote and lies. For John there is it’s NOT because he no common ground— is a gay American, it’s you’re either with him, because I think we need or you’re against him; someone else who can he simply doesn’t have preserve our town. It’s the capacity to disagree too bad that Mr. Mosca agreeably. In short, has decided to throw John is an egotistical “homophobic” into the delusional blowhard— mix, or maybe you did truly a legend in his that, Terry. I honestly expected more from own mind. Hail Hamilton, Sierra Madre both of you. via sierramadreweekly.com I’m voting for Crawford, Alcorn and Watts. Thank Ok, I just read the Sierra you all for running. Madre Weekly and Sarah, Sierra Madre Terry Miller’s attack on via sierramadreweekly.com Mr Crawford. I have a few comments. First, I have always liked Wow…Hail, you Terry Miller, thought admittedly don’t know he took some fantastic “much about John photos, and I’ve always Crawford” but you can admired Mr Crawford go on such a personal for his straight-forward attack? SHAME ON YOU! approach to his writing. Do your homework. Mr If memory serves me Crawford cares about correctly; the Sierra our town. He’s been Madre weekly used at every city council Mr Crawford’s aka, Eric meeting. Where were Mundry’s articles all you? Oh, that’s right, the time. Interesting you had a column to that when it worked write. for them…they were John has a real, all for it. Now that Mr respectable job. I really Crawford is running can’t say the same RE: Sierra Madre Election: Fodder for Bloggers –
thing about Mr Josh Moran. He was quoted as being an “Account Executive” of what? I did some investigation. What I discovered is that he either does reverse mortgages or is in some kind of real estate. Either way, they both seem to be quite a conflict of interest for our city council. It’s AMAZING that you can sit back and “claim that John is the biggest “blowhard” because you don’t agree with him — seems to me it makes you just as much as an “egotistical delusional blowhard” for your own column… funny how that works, isn’t it? If you dislike the way things are done…I suggest next election you take out papers to run for city council…. but I doubt you have what it takes.

Terry Miller–Your article hits John Crawford and the Mayor right where it hurts. I appreciate that you have brought up the negativity, misinformation and fear that Crawford’s blog and his followers feed off. The comments are the highlight that really show the dysfunctional side of these supporters. I wouldn’t allow my children to behave the way that the Mayor and Crawford have. I have done my research and prefer to elect folks who are level-headed, work well with others, can see all sides, and know how to compromise to meet the needs of ALL
