Free Speech In Irvine...As Long As It's The Right Kind
By Matthew Cunningham | 05/15/08 | 10:12 PM EDT | 0 Comments
Allan Bartlett posts about his experience with the limits of free speech in the City of Irvine:
I am shocked by the confiscation of Allan's signs -- but not really surprised. Just another one of those political mysteries that seem to impact Larry Agran's critics.
Things are already starting to heat up in Irvine. The past few weeks myself and a few other Irvine activists raised some money and bought some signs to be put out over the city that said "Goto www.irvinetattler.com". Within one day of putting them up, they were gone. I suspect they were ordered to be yanked out by the powers that be at Irvine City Hall(read that as The Larry Agran Cabal Inc), but I'm not certain yet. I'm going to do a lot more digging today on this issue. Stephen Smith wrote this morning on his website, Irvine Tattler, that the signs were ordered to be taken down "because the city had received some complaints about them". That has got to be one of the lamest excuses of all time. They took them down because they were starting to have a small impact. Stephen wrote that hits to his website nearly tripled after the signs were put out. I faxed over a letter this morning to City Hall that read as follows:You can read the rest at Powder Blue Report.
