A public service

Stan Chesley, the attorney filing a slander suit against Archie Wilson, spoke today about the egregious nature of the unsubstantiated accusations about a family made by Wilson. As a footnote, I will not use the name of the family because they’ve suffered enough. I have no trouble naming Wilson because I believe what I say is accurate or in accepting responsibility for what I say.

The family had a baby perish when left in a car on a hot summer day. Wilson alleged that the child was murdered to cover up molestation with the collusion of a variety of law enforcement officials. In the spirit of the ilk who does this kind of thing, he has supplied little or no hard evidence to substantiate his rubbish.

While it is obvious that all is not right in Archieland, what is disappointing is what his party officials had to say after he put this out at a party function. When asked about his remarks, several said they couldn’t recall him speaking about that during his speech. What? A guy asserts a couple killed their baby and public officials were paid off to cover it up, and that didn’t register with you? Right.

The silver lining is that Wilson is providing a public service. He’s running for county commissioner and is doing the right thing leaving no doubt about his mental processes. Anyone can have a bad day, but the repetition of such acrimonious acts reflects one cannot distinguish right from wrong or what is reality and what is not. It is fortunate that those people cannot help but repeatedly doing things that plainly expose their mentality.

While the case hasn’t been tried, Wilson has been challenged on this and responds with a no-comment. If you had the evidence, this would be the time to lay it out.

While this is pitiful enough, I checked his county party’s web site and they endorsed him subsequent to when he disseminated the charges and are still doing so today. Politics is politics, but that’s just pathetic.
