Ginny, Enough Already

In her attempt to get pro-gay themed books (oops, I mean, sexually explicit books) removed from the young adult section of the library, she's brought increasingly negative attention to West Bend, culminating in calls for book burnings and ridicule across the Internet. In the process, she's defamed numerous citizens, and cost the taxpayers who knows how much.

Lately, Ginny has been spreading her hatred and intolerance to an even broader array of targets.

• She's been posting the usual mis-informed propaganda against health care reform.
• She's been bad-mouthing Carl Knepel, a young West Bend citizen who wants to try to be on the school board.
• She's highly critical of the presence of a gay man, Scott Lone, including gay history in West Bend high school classes, allowing her to perch herself back on her anti-harassment policy soapbox.

Sigh.

Maria Hanrahan puts it best: enough is enough:

Ginny Maziarka does not speak for West Bend, WI. She claims to represent the majority of the community, but offers nothing to substantiate this. Its time for the citizens of this community to speak out and end her bullying of other citizens and acting in other ways that tarnish our community's reputation. I'm not saying she does not have the right to speak her opinion and take action to make changes she believes are necessary in the community. However, we don't have to remain silent (thereby indicating acquiescence) about her rantings about our fellow citizens and our community.
