Joe The Hummer?
Click here and here to read the back stories.
I had been watching and following Ali Velshi and the CNN Express when
it started in Georgia and when I heard they were coming to Paducah I
knew I had to be there. I followed them on CNN and twitter and had a
good idea when they might arrive in Paducah, but I didn't know where
exactly where they were going to be. I gambled and went downtown. My
gamble paid off. Minutes after I arrived The CNN Express pulled in, Ali
Velshi and all.
I immediately began to shoot video and much to my
surprise Ali Velshi asked me for an interview. We did the interview and
I resumed shooting video and taking photos. As people began to gather
around The CNN Express Mike Watt a free lance and political
photographer suggested that CNN Express have a Town Hall meeting there.
The CNN Express crew liked the idea and got several people to
participate. I wasn't asked to be part of the group and had no input.
All I was interested in was shooting video and photos.
While
shooting video of the impromptu Town Hall meeting I was approached by
what I consider a very rude young man. He asked me, who picked these
people to be on the Town Hall panel? I responded by asking him what do
you mean by these people? He responded by asking me, do you know these
people? I responded by asking him do you know these people? He
responded by asking me if I was with CNN? I told him no. I asked him
again what he meant when he said these people and he began to say a few
things about Heather Ryan. We then got into what I consider a heated
discussion he reached over and touched my arm and I pretty much told
him where to go! The young man then went over to Mike Watt and began
talking to Mike and then managed to worm his way in to the impromptu
Town Hall Meeting and make, what I consider, a total ass of himself on national TV with the infamous Hummer comment. Of course that's just my opinion.
I didn't think much about all that, after all it's Paducah, until the
next day when I heard from a reliable source that accusations were made
to CNN that several of the members of the Town Hall panel were members
of Heather Ryan's campaign committee.
Ok now I'm pissed! Lies, lies, lies.
I've done my research and found the names of those on the impromptu
Town Hall panel and confirmed with Ms Ryan that none of these folks
were on her campaign committee. Folks other than those on the panel
also made comments and were acknowledged by Ali Velshi. I have video of
the entire event and proof the accusations are nothing but lies.
Accusations like these are serious and I intend to find out who made them.
I
know the Paducah big shots want to know about everything in advance so
they can put their spin on it, and I suggest they would have known
about the CNN Express if they watched something other than Fox News. I
also have information from a reliable source about something else going
on in Paducah that really smells, but that's another story and we will
put it up when the timing is right. Stay tuned.
Ps: Don't send me your "Black Hurricane" emails.
