Bob vs Bob

Bob #1:  "George W. Bush is a dangerous war criminal and should be treated as such."

Bob #2:  "Watching Bush talk about his presidency has impressed me a bit.  When asked how he thinks Obama is doing as president, he said Obama had enough critics and he wasn't going to critique him. I was surprised.  He talked about some regrets too. I might just have to get one of his books."

Or is Bob just pandering to Republican voters for his next pointless run for public office?

Bob and Charlie

Bob better hope Charlie Townsend is Mercman.  Otherwise, Bob could be in a lot of trouble.

Bob wrote:  "I think anyone that has a good revenge trick they want to try out, they should try it out on old Charlie Townsend.  Rat in a box, change his mail to a new address, drive by his house real slow and take pictures, any prank phone calls you've wanted to try, go up to him when he is out to dinner with his wife and say 'hello Mercman', etc....  Now I'm not enciting violence against Charlie or any other woman. I just want you all to think of some fun you can have with him.  You get the idea.  Have fun........  LOL"

Does Bob realize that changing someone's mail to a new address is illegal?  Or is it OK under Bob's Law?  And how exactly is "driving by his house real slow and taking pictures" revenge?  Prank phone calls?  Really?  Is Bob still in elementary school?  Although, I do like the rat in a box idea, but you would need a pretty big box for Bob the rat.

Bob's Daily Rant From Nov. 10

"Congratulations, Republicans, you got another one of your own into office for four more years. You won! Whoopie! Now we all lose again."

No Bob, YOU lose again! For the fifth time! 0-5! cero-cinco!

Out of respect for her husband and her family, I will be sure to be as civil as possible, but the truth will come out.

I guess we'll see how long that lasts, Bob being civil. That's like Randy Moss being humble.

I will report it as I learn it. That’s what Columbuzz is all about.

Really? I thought Columbuzz was all about lies, exaggerations, name calling, censorship, incompetence, paranoia, hypocrisy, delusions, mental illness, poor English, mudslinging, libel, offending voters, narcissism, whining, ignorance, grandstanding, deception, Bob-o-bots, cronyism, intimidation, and math errors. Did I forget anything?

Columbuzz Hacked?

Jeremy wrote on his Facebook page:
"Website was hacked and it has to be rebuilt. It should be back up Thursday night."

Bob wrote on this blog:
"Someone hacked the site and shut it down."

Then Jeremy wrote on Facebook:
"...we was not hacked but rather had a data error in our database."

We was?  I'm glad they didn't jump to conclusions that their website was hacked! Anyone else think Jeremy has no clue what he's doing?

Columbuzz Stuck in Time Warp

Since columbuzz is stuck in a time warp today, here are some classic comments from columbuzz:

Comments on the new comment policy:
Lucy:  "I just hope that the admins hold themselves to these changes 'being slanderous, insulting, racist, belligerent, and more.'"

Jeremy (incompetent admin of columbuzz):  "Being able to assume you know who a poster is solely on the writing styles is one thing, but truly knowing without the poster telling their identity is just speculation.  Since this obviously concerns you and you aren't seeing the bigger picture, maybe you should alter your thinking to see this isn't to prevenr,hinder,single out,prevent comments but to allow the frequent visitors a relationship to the posters as some could have a favorite."

Lucy:  "Well Jeremy...one thing I really dislike is being patronized as you have me in not getting the big picture. Don't play me for stupid. Of course I know why this is being done, and on the contrary doesn't concern me, I was merely giving a great idea on how to keep people to one name, which I guess you don't understand"

Lucy:  "How does the average poster know that the admin won't be using different names?? What assurance do we as posters have??? I know Columbus Man was also Indiana Guy...so why should I trust that you folks who control this board won't use different names, just to keep things going??? I know people who have done that, just for that sole reason...  And who do we complain to if we think and admin person is being a bully or name calling, they don't delete their own posts, but do others...Now, how fair is that??? Pretty one sided..."

Bob (incompetent moderator of columbuzz):  "The average person doesn't know if admin uses more than one name, and they won't know. It doesn't matter. We want to know which posters are saying what so we can control some of the garbage some buttholes want to bring in here."

Lucy:  "Well it does matter. If we can't have more than one name, than why can you guys???  I find that insulting referring to some as buttholes...you're already contradicting your new policy."

Bob:  "Well, when someone comes in for the sole purpose of causing trouble repeatedly, they are a butthole.  Posters don't need to know what all we do as much as we need to know what all posters do."

Lucy:  "Either you have rules or not regardless. Black and white. You're entitled to your opinion, but in your new rules, insulting will not be tolerated, and you are insulting. I don't care if it's not me, and I'm not defending that individual. I'm very anal to when it comes to rules. If you can call someone a butthole, then I can too....You lead by example...."

Bob:  "I was referring to buttholes. I wasn't calling anyone a butthole.  And I try to be a great example to anyone that wants to express their true feelings. We just don't allow posters to call each other names."

Lucy:  "'We want to know which posters are saying what so we can control some of the garbage some buttholes want to bring in here.'  In this sentence, what does butthole refer to? It is describing the posters garbage, THESE buttholes bring in here. You can substitute buttholes for posters.  You can say 'We want to know which posters are saying what so we can control some of the garbage some buttholes (posters) want to bring in here'.  Careful how you say things....I would say that is name calling, as in posters who bring in the garbage....they were referred to buttholes, posters are people...And I think we all know who you mean too, as you have referred them as that b4, including a pic and all. Have you not??? Just saying..."

Bob:  "I try to behave as I want the posters to do. It's hard at times when the same POSTER comes in only to try to cause trouble.  I will try to be more careful in the future."

Jeremy:  "I am amazed at the comments this 'RULE' has brought about; this is the problem with our culture, everyone makes a bigger deal out of something so simple.  Move on everyone, whats done is done"

Yes Jeremy, people are going to make a big deal about your hypocrisy!

Bob's Daily Rant

"Finally some peace" wrote on columbuzz:
"So glad the election is over. You ran the dirtiest campaign ever and I'm glad you lost. Serves you right! Now, go live your life and leave the Barkes's alone. I can't stand people like you!!!!"

"Bob The Delusional" wrote:

"Mr. Peace,
I'm glad it's over too. And yes, it was dirty.
I have been exposing TRUTH about the DIRT in that office. All verifiable TRUTH. Yet people like you refused to believe it and you voted for the guy anyway."

Bob still doesn't get it.  Typing TRUTH in all caps doesn't make it TRUTH.

"And I will not leave Barkes alone. He is a crook and he is going to be scrutinized even more from here on out."

More libel.  Where is your PROOF that Mr. Barkes is a crook?  And I mean real PROOF, not Bob PROOF.  And you can't just type PROOF in all caps.  That's not PROOF.

"Difference is, I don't have to worry about offending voters since I'm not running for office."

Bob is definitely an expert at offending voters, I'll give him that.  And he thinks he's 0-5 in elections because he's a Democrat. 

"The gloves are off now. He better make sure his secrets are well hidden. Because when I learn them, the whole commnity is going to hear about it."

You mean the gloves were on before?!?  And the "whole" community (Bob must think everyone in the entire county visits his little website), except for the Bob-o-bots, will ignore your insane rantings as usual.

"If you don't want to hear it, I suggest you go elsewhere for your entertainment."

Bob, if you ever want to charge for advertisements on your little website, telling people to go elsewhere is not a good business strategy.

"And your opinion of me matters little to me.  I have been hated by much better. I'm not here for a popularity contest."

Bob's political strategy I guess.  Insult as many voters as possible and then whine when they don't vote for him.

"I'm here to try to let people know that they are being bent over on a daily basis."

Yeah, bent over by you Bob!

"Believe me, I won't lose any sleep over it."

Yes, we are all aware that you have no conscience.

Bob Just Doesn't Understand

Bob wrote in a comment on columbuzz:
"It's funny how my posting a photograph, taken by a handicapped person, of an ambulance parked illegally in a handicap parking spot caused all the accusations."

Since there were no signs identifying is as a handicap parking space, I don't believe it was illegal.

"I have been accused of attacking all EMS workers.

I have been accused of favoring STAT Ambulance because the owner contributed to my campaign for trustee."

What do you expect when you call the ambulance driver a nimrod and proclaim that they do whatever they want to do.

"Just like during my campaign, people want to take PROOF of wrongdoing that is provided and turn it around to say that we are attacking people simply by showing the truth. The photograph is real and has not been doctored.

Like the pictures I took of a shredder being negligent. People wanted to ignore that fact and flat out accuse me of misdemeanor trespass.

When I showed PROOF of wasteful spending and negligence in bookeeping on the part of the Fred Barkes and clan, I was accused of slandering them.

When I showed evidence of a rude staff and an office manager that showed her ass at a funeral, I was attacking them.

When evidence of drugs in the trustees house were shown, I was dragging his family through the mud.

Not only was this all ignored, but people actually voted them back in.

I just don't understand it."

And that's why Bob is 0-5 in elections.  He just doesn't understand that most people don't like him and don't trust him.  He doesn't understand that he has no credibility whatsoever.  He doesn't understand that if people really believed him, they would have crossed party lines to vote for him, but obviously that didn't happen.  He just doesn't understand that showing evidence of drugs in the trustee's house had nothing whatsoever to do with the election.  He doesn't understand the difference between FACT and opinion.  He doesn't understand that his PROOF is not PROOF.

"I understand some people getting upset because I was reporting on the trustee's "shenanigans". They are probably related to the trustee so that means they are on his payroll."

Yeah Bob, everyone that opposes you is Mercman, Dude, or people who work in the trustee's office.

"But I have a few jerks that want to attack everything I do, no matter what it is."

That's because pretty much all you do is attack people.  And you're surprised when they fight back?

"Yet it turned into a deal where I was attacking CRH because STAT contributed to my campaign. That isn't true. If I see a STAT vehicle parked in one, their picture will go on as well.  Jason would want to know about it so he could correct the problem."

I have an idea.  If all you want to do is let STAT/CRH know about it, why not just email CRH or STAT the picture and handle it privately, instead of grandstanding by posting the picture immediately .  If they ignore you, then you can post the picture.

Bob's Not Telling the Truth Again

Comments on columbuzz:
"What is the other website?"

Bob: "We won't advertise for their site.  All they do is trash people on this site and we have no use for them."

All columbuzz does is trash the good people at CRH and the trustee's office.  And somebody has to expose the "shenanigans" going on over at columbuzz.  It might as well be me.

"That's why they were banned from here."

And yet I have not banned any of them from my site even though I have no use for them.  With Bob's disgusting comments on here, he deserves to be banned.

"It's 2 or 3 people that post under anonymous or other phony names to make it look like they have several coming there."

Bob's not telling the truth again.  He knows for a fact there's quite a bit more than 2 or 3 people here.  In my opinion, he's afraid to tell anyone about this site, because then people will see the real Bob Freeman from his comments.

Bob The Proud Democrat

Warning:  This post contains adult language.  Reader discretion is advised.

From the Democratic Party Platform:
"We will work to combat violence against women.  We believe that standing up for our country means standing up against sexism and all intolerance. Demeaning portrayals of women cheapen our debates, dampen the dreams of our daughters, and deny us the contributions of too many. Responsibility lies with us all."

From Bob:
"I'm a proud Democrat."

More from Bob:
"She should think twice before going into a funeral I am attending. You want to see a scene. Being a cunt might be okay for some of you but I won't tolerate it."

"Your mother should be glad she didn't come to my dad's funeral like that. She would have been removed from the building abruptly."

"Someone should have knocked her on her ass right there and then."

"Someone should have knocked her on her ass for the way she acted with the mourners at a funeral."

"She's acted like a cunt that should have been knocked on her ass, in my opinion."

"Woman or not, she should have been knocked on her ass for what she did."

"And if a woman has the gall to go somewhere and act like that, woman or not, she should have been knocked on her ass."

"I said that if she had done that at a funeral of a member of my family she would have been knocked on her ass."

Another Onion for Bob

Onions to ...

… people who make allegations from hearsay.

STAT Ambulance Stuck Under Awning?

Bob, Bob, Bob

More deception from Bob on columbuzz:

"Look at this article. It is a picture of an ambulance in a handicap parking spot that asks the question, Is that CRH Ambulance Parked in a Handicap Parking Spot?
 
That's all. Look where the conversation has gone. We don't know why he is there. We don't know if he is parked there. He could be backing into the spot to turn around. He could be there to pick up someone who needs him to go to the hospital.

So many people assume and the conversation grows from there.

It shows one ambulance and all the sudden we're accused of cutting down all ambulance drivers and emt workers.

It's a picture people. Put here for discussion but it makes no statement except there is an ambulance in a handicap parking spot.

People don't like the vague message it presents so they attack the messenger.

Well, they think they are. We posted a picture a reader sent in. And we posted little comment with it.

The rest of this story came from your heads.

We never said it was a legal spot, or the driver was planning to rob Circle K, or he was getting a Polar Pop, or his partner was in taking a leak."

Yet, in his comments on the article, Bob writes:

• "Parking in that spot wasn't right."
• "It's a picture of an ambulance in a handicap parking spot with room to park on each side of it. Why did they have to park in the handicap spot? They didn't, but they wanted to and they do whatever they want to do."
• "Apparently you aren't handicapped waiting in your car for a parking spot while some nimrod goes into the convenience store to get a soda pop.  He had to park in the handicap spot?"
• "The ambulance driver had to park in the handicap spot to get a polar pop?"

Sounds like Bob is the one assuming and the rest of the story has come from his head.  Does he even read his own comments?

Setting the Record Straight

Bob wrote on columbuzz:
"The staff at the trustee office have been involved in another website that has been railing me and calling me names like child molestor and other sick stuff.  So when the comments about her were posted here, I felt it was only fair to leave them up. If he truly has the pictures, that makes it fact. Rather an irrelevent fact, but since her bunch keeps wanting to throw nasty lies at me, maybe nasty truth about her should come out as well."

Rodney and Briana Ferrenburg have absolutely nothing to do with this blog.  They have sent me information that I have posted here, but it is my decision and mine only on whether it is posted or not.  They can comment like anyone else, but that's it, so Bob has no reason to keep attacking Briana.  Also, I don't work in the trustee office, so Bob has no reason to attack anyone in the office at all.  If he feels the need to attack someone to make him feel better about himself, he can attack me, which he already has on this blog.

Regarding the child molester claims, I personally have never accused Bob of being a child molester.  None of the commenters here have explicitly accused Bob of being a child molester, but have joked about it.  I try not to censor comments as much as possible, but if they bother Bob so much, he can ask me to remove them and I will consider removing them.  He knows my email address.

"I try to live by the golden rule and treat people as I would like them to treat me."

Does anyone actually believe that he lives by this rule after reading his comments here and on his website?  I don't think so.

"Since good people can't get in office because of robotic voters"

Does Bob really think he's one of the good people?

Orchids and Onions From The Republic

Orchids to ...

… Fred Barkes and the staff at the Columbus Township Trustees office for holding their heads high.

Onions to ...

… those who think negative campaigning accomplishes anything.

Columbuzz Cronyism?

Could there be cronyism at columbuzz?  Bob Freeman posted a picture of a CRH ambulance allegedly parked in a handicap parking space.  Then in comments on columbuzz, he criticized the ambulance driver and called the driver a nimrod, writing "Apparently you aren't handicapped waiting in your car for a parking spot while some nimrod goes into the convenience store to get a soda pop.".

Then on this blog, Bob wrote "(Stat Ambulance has a) higher certification now than they had. And more freedom to dispense drugs as needed without a doctors permission in an emergency situation.  CRH ambulance staff doesn't have that freedom.  Jason Vest (Vice President of Stat Ambulance) is a friend of mine. He was telling me how this new certification all works."

So Jason Vest of Stat Ambulance is a friend of Bob and Bob posts a picture of a CRH ambulance allegedly parked in a handicap parking space.  Convenient, don't you think?  I'm guessing that if that were a picture of a Stat ambulance parked in a handicap parking space, it would not have been posted.  Is columbuzz using whistle blowing as a cover for Bob to attack his enemies and help his friends?  Good question.

Addendum:
Check out this article on columbuzz about Stat Ambulance: http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5054

Bob Still in Attack Mode

Bob is attacking EMS workers now, calling them nimrods:  http://columbus1.ath.cx/index.php?news=5088

Is it a good idea to attack both EMS workers and firefighters?  Who's next, policemen, or has he already attacked them and I missed it?

Bob Was Wrong Again and Again

I'm not one to gloat, but I'll make an exception for Bob, since he's such a great guy.  Let's count how many times Bob was wrong about winning the election, shall we?

1. "This denial is why I will be the next Trustee."
2. "So after I win in two weeks, I will figure out what is best to do."
3. "THAT can wait until after I am in office."
4. "I will find more information on things once I'm in office."
5. "You best go hide under something solid. Your world is about to fall all around you..."
6. "I guess we'll see on election day if I am a loser or not. Won't we?"

Gee, Bob, what happened?  You were so sure you would win.  By the way, here's the first excuse Bob used (from the Republic website):

"The percentages of the votes last night were all about the same. How someone campaigned, how much they spent, or how hard they worked didn't matter. The only thing that mattered last night was that people wanted their party to win.  Being in power was more important than how much an official is cheating the taxpayer. So we suffer for 4 more years.  People should be ashamed of what happened last night."

How someone campaigned didn't matter?  Delusional.  Bob should be ashamed of how he ran his campaign.  And of course, Bob insults the voters once again.  I just can't take him seriously as a politician when he constantly insults the voters.  Bob thinks you are all idiots and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.  Way to go Bob, that's a great way to get more votes in your next pointless run for public office.

Top Ten Excuses on Why I Lost the Election From Bob

10. Too busy not reading the usage policy that I selectively enforce on my website.
9.  Was distracted by all of my pen pals on interpals.net.
8.  Unfortunately, the ghosts and the fish are not registered voters so they couldn't vote for me.
7.  Had to take time off from campaigning to attend a remedial math course.
6.  There was a flood and all of my campaign signs along the river floated away.
5.  It was my lame campaign slogan "You can't put out a fire by throwing money on it."
4.  The Columbus "mafia" stuffed the ballot box.
3.  Didn't do enough name calling during my campaign.
2.  Dude's shenanigans on his blog.
1.  The voters are still a bunch of idiots.  I'll make sure to tell them that before I start my next campaign.

Any others you can think of?  Which excuse (one of the ten or one of your own) do you think he'll use first?

Election Results

I believe these results are still unofficial:

VOTES = 11,007

7142  64.89%  Frederick E. Barkes (R)

3865  35.11%  Bob Freeman (D)

From the Republic - Fred Barkes Wins

Columbus Township Trustee Fred Barkes spoke to Republicans at their event tonight, after it was clear he was the winner in his race against Democrat Bob Freeman.

"It hasn't been pretty," Fred Barkes said. "I'll enjoy the win all that much more."
