View Full Version : Peterson's ad is racist.
Greg Peterson's political ad says Suozzi is turning Nassau into NYC's sixth county.
Of course, we all know that statement has racial undertones. It's sad that the Nassau GOP has to resort to the same old playbook of drawing on the fear of white LI voters with hints that Dems are friendly to African Americans.
I hope that the Democrats point out what the ad really means. Their laughable ads for GOP judges that have whites say, "I'm voting Republican because I have seen what happens when liberal judges care more about a criminal's rights than victim rights" has been matched in despicably exploting racial tensions by this new ad.
Sir:
For you to suggest that the GOP message is racist is pretty low brow.
What are the Five NYC Boroughts characterized by? High rise developments, congestion, traffic, and a generally more cramped quality of life. People moved to the suburbs for open space, nice parks, private homes, and no skyrise towers.
That is the purpose of the GOP message. You people want to undermine the suburban quality of life because you know that the decadent, miserable, communal life style of the cities is where liberalism breeds.
For liberalism needs misery to breed, and moreover, it needs social upheaval and government dependence to breed.
if you don't like the open, quiet, suburban quality of life, go back to Manhattan. But tell your liberal social engineering friends to leave us alone. We moved here to get away from the mess that liberalism created in cities.
I appreciate your kind, well-worded reply.
It confirmed my suspicions. Whites live in fear of non-whites. Due to the news media's constant reports of violence in poorer neighborhoods, whites feel that blacks and other minorities threathen the "quality of life." Your last line brings out how your hatred for blacks and other minorities that you tried to conceal. "We moved here to get away from the mess that liberalsim created in cities." When you say "we," you mean to include white suburban residents. You exclude people who are different from the we.
It's not your fault that you feel the you are superior because of your skin color. Again, the media continues to show whites as victims of "minorities". Case in point: the current coverage of the white woman gone missing in Aruba. Aruba is an island home to minorities. The conclusion drawn is that whites are victims to violence of minorities. However, crimes are commited all the time by all different types of people. The media chooses to highlight crimes where whites and the victims and non-whites are the criminals. For years, conservative politicians (of both political parties) have taken advantage of white's hostility towards non-whites. The Willie Horton ads, etc. It's a shame that in this of age, the Nassau GOP must continue in that tradition. (Nationally, as blacks get accepted as part of main-stream culture, politicans choose to draw on the fear that some have of gays in order to win elections.)
Whites have an invisible knapscack of opportunity. That's why they get ahead. Let me give you an example. I am white. My student who I was supposed to tutor was running late. I had to sit outside his house waiting for him. None of the neighbors knew me. However, when they saw that I was a clean-cut white person, they went back into their homes. I know that, in this virtually all-white town, if I was not white, the neighbors would have worried. That's just a simple example of why whites get ahead at the expense of minority progress.
I also must say that liberalism isn't the cause of poverty in the inner city. It has to do mostly with their failing school system. Schools need money to do well. Inner-city areas don't have the wealth to collect taxes to fund good schools. Politicians in Albany don't want to level the playing field by sharing the wealth that suburban schools have with urban schools. These children have no hope for a future if they attend poor schools with bad teachers in terrible conditions. Sadly, Pataki is appealing the court's ruling that the lack of funding of inner-city public schools is a grave injustice to those kids.
You seem like a bright person. The problem is that most people who harbor hidden hostilities to minorities are bright people.

Here's Racism

Suozzi is the one who goes out of his way to drag racists into the fold.

Reply What you think? Sins of the Son & Jailing Parents
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's alot of assertions that I'm reading on this website that this guy is nothing but a racist, believing that all Italian, Black & Latino kids are basically no good because they are genetically predetermined to commit crimes and that he thinks they should just all be locked away until they're 35. So I did a google search and found this review of the book.
==========
"Manhattan prosecutor Peer Reinharz,’ Killer Kids, Bad Law: Tales of the Juvenile Court System (1996), typifies a genre of books that describes some youth who commit crimes, especially those who appear to be unrepentant and defiant. Reinharz’ analysis of why they commit such serious crimes is surprisingly superficial." NICYF, 2002.
=========
Fortunately, this guy isn't taken seriously in the legal community, or any community quite frankly, but it goes a long way to showing ye another reason of the type of people Suozzi supports and why it's so important to vote Suozzi out of office in November 2005.
====================================
It's not surprising that it's superficial. If you talk to the guy he's very tempermental - talks loud, talks fast, gets mad quickly - and if you actually know what you are doing - you will find that he doesn't. Neither do the people he supports and that's why he likes them. Did you see that Dilbert Cartoon in Newsday that's been going around the email as a spoof on the Suozzi administration as being a perfect replica? It's the pointy hair guy telling the cat he needs an Assistant Manager - but he wants one just slightly worse then he is so he doesn't have to worry about being found out or replaced. The cat hires a retard who is sitting there how he can PRETEND to speak 5 languages! Now THAT's what Suozzi hired ! And he created this Office Managing Attorney for this Bozo from Queens besides!
==================================
He Likes Jailing Parents
==================================
How aptly titiled. I wonder what Pete' dad thinks about this column he wrote about jailing the parents of accused delinquents on warrants.
================================
By: Peter Reinharz when he was at Corporation Counsel (he's the guy who hired Stephanie Hublebank & friends - all with the same mentality, lack of talent and no prior experience)
" Recently the city's Corporation Counsel has also been requesting a warrant for the parent who promised to bring the offender to court. Brought before a Family Court judge on a warrant, the parent must explain the youth's failure to appear and his own inability to control the child.
==============================
sounds fishy to me
That sounds suspicious to me. What kind of Judge would issue a warrant for a parent - a non-party litigant to a juvenile delinquency and allow the parent to testify, without the right to counsel attaching itself, to something that may later result in a child neglect proceeding being brought against the parent or testimony that violates the parent-child privilege against self-incrimination on behalf of the child by his own parent without the child being present in court? And where would the Law Guardian be in all of this? I doubt this was allowed across the board, if at all - except maybe by some renagade Judge who didn't know better - and I don't believe it is a procedure that would be upheld by any Appellate Court. It's a disgusting abuse of power but in line with Reinhartz's character. I'm sure if there were later appearances by the child, they would have been made in any regard and I would find any statistical proof Reinharz has to the contrary (presuming any exists) to be highly suspect. It puts the parent in a most untenable position. To answer question - Al Reinharz is very embarassed by and apologetic for Peter's behavior and I think he's sorry he got him the job in the first place. He said "my son thinks everyone's guilty" which is why he wouldn't have him work with him in his law practice as a father - son team and does nothing but try and separate himself out from his son. I feel bad for the old man.

Medical experiments - from his corporate counsel days
==========================
Excerpts
=========
The Post has learned that Cornell University Medical College is one of the research facilities that gave fenfluramine to children to study its effect on their behavior.
The drug - one half of the popular fen-phen diet pill - was yanked from the market last fall because it can lead to heart damage.
Cornell is one of four New York City facilities whose controversial research has come to light in a Post investigation.
Reps. Charles Schumer (D-Brooklyn) and Jose Serrano (D-Bronx) say they will propose legislation to better regulate such experiments.
"There is definitely a need for legislation," Schumer said. "The question is, how are we going to approach this most effectively to make sure this sort of thing never happens again
The Legal Aid Society is calling for an investigation into the release of juvenile records by Peter Reinharz, the city Law Department's chief for Family Court. The children under the government's care were used for these controversial medical experiements courtesy of Peter Reinharz - the guy now known for giving up entire file folders in discovery because he doesn't know the difference between the CPLR or the CPR and thinks the criminal caselaw on brady material is applicable in civil law cases.
Mayor Giuliani has blamed the blunder on the previous administration.
But Jane Spinak of Legal Aid said, "As long as Reinharz continues to hold high office in the administration, we certainly would like the mayor to take responsibility and investigate."

Who is the real idiot?

The freak who thinks the sixth borough has anything to do with race? You are the real idiot. You are one of those sad fellows who can't stack up to the real men and women around you and your only defense is to pull the poor me - it's because I'm black, hispanic whatever you are card and blame your ineptitudes and inadequacies and failings on white people. Wake up honey and listen to Bill Cosby. Enough already with you freaking whining. We don't want QUEENS OR BROOKLYN living and we have that right. We want grass, and trees, and parking and fresh air and surburban sprawl. We want small classrooms and good teachers and losta cops and no gangs and no drunks and no deteriorating homes. We want single family homes or carefully planned multiple family housing complexes that still retain the flavor and the look of old fashioned country living. We don't want to spend our days in traffic and we don't want huge buildings and hubs that attract terrorists. We want the people that live here to speak English and adapt to the American culture and we want them to pay their own way. We don't want to support them and their families and we want them to pay their taxes and be accountable for their crimes. That's what we are talking about. And before you shoot your ignorant mouth off again - maybe you better start looking for an apartment in the Bronx. If you can't afford it here and you don't like the community - get out. Don't tell the rest of us we're racist. You're the one that's racist. You.
And maybe Suozzi's administration if that Killer Kids guy actually works for him.
If he works for him? He works for himself.
In the academic world, Reinharz was known for his "practical" experience. In the "real world," Reinharz was noted for his academic skills, including his publication of a book on juvenile crime. He works alittle of both so thathe can play in both.
Ok, so he basically bashed the bench and his colleagues in Killer Kids, his book, and tried to pose as an "anti-crime" activist. But face it, he had a pretty decent run in New York City and was able to land on his feet in Nassau. But if the guy gets a job supervising the torts division merely because he says he's for "tort reform," I say more power to him. What makes him any different from a variety of people who pretend they know how to do something.

He stradles both of them

He stradles both worlds and belongs in neither. He's the guy in the classroom who yells - oh oh oh I know I know- every two minutes - then burns on the test and turns green if you send him to court to argue a case and stutters when you tell him to question a witness just before he faints. He's a coward. He's the guy that thinks he's smarter than all the judges everywhere and somehow thinks he's above the law, without actually understanding anything. It's easy to run around saying everyone else is wrong when you can't understand the practical effect of the decision. That's why there are so many huge judgments and settlements against the county - that's why the county keeps getting bounced on basic constitutional issues - that's why they keep fighting the wrong battles and laying down on the ones they should be fighting. He's a big mouth when it comes to dissing Suozzi, yet the minute Suozzi walks in the door he turns bright red and puts his tail between his legs. He has never gotten out of his brother's shadow and he never will. His brother's money is what pays for his job and his father's longevity is what holds him there. And Suozzi is too busy building Wang towers to be bothered with the little things like running the County with the best - not worst - people for the job.

Suozzi's Scapegoat
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 8:27 pm

Enough already about the racism. That's clear. It's documented. It's getting old. What I want to know is if Suozzi is going to back away from his economic development trips using HUD money and soften up on his urbanization of Sub urbia by using Reinhartz as a scapegoat. Based on Reinhartz's Rockaway suggestions - it's not too far removed he advised Suozzi - the attorney's are, after all, Suozzi's advisors. Since this issue is definitely losing Suozzi alot of report - he oughta just dump Reinharz - blame the plan on him - and drop it before the election in November.

If you would have read my post, you would have seen that I am, in fact, white. When I say that people are racist, I don't mean that they go out and commit hate crimes. What I mean is that whites have this notion that they are superior. That is shown as you patronized me by calling me "honey." You continued with blabbering about "not affording" the community. That's also an incorect assertation. I actually live comfortably in a wealthy north shore suburb. You don't have to be black- or poor- to understand the invisible knapsack of opportunity given to whties.
How do I know that you harbor hatred towards non-whites? Your continual use of "they." You say, "We don't want to support them and their families and we want them to pay their taxes and be accountable for their crimes." Why are whites not included in the they? Are you saying that whites don't commit crimes? What about all the corporate greed that has stolen billions from ordinary Americans. Even violent crimes are commited by whites. The Pelosi killer, etc.
Our community needs racial sensitivty training. Long Island is the 2nd most segregated community in all of the USA. As politicians exploit whites' fear of non-whites, that will only continue.

I don't know what kind of Nassau you want- but I want a Nassau where our children grow up with people of all colors and background around them. I want someone with the moral clarity of Tom Suozzi who envisions a Nassau with people of all backgrounds co-existing peacefully. I refuse to vote for Nassau Republicans who continue running racist ads. Those "I'm Voting for GOP Judges because I've seen what happens when judges care more about criminals' rights than victims' rights" are absurd and so over-the-top that I'm sure that they backfire as LI'ers (with the exception of some on this board) move beyond the Jim Crow era and understand that we all have one goal: to live together, prosper, be happy and healthy.

You're an idiot. It wasn't the Republicans that ruined Nassau County 8 years ago - it was Democrat Fred Brewington and his allegations of racism that ruined it when he and his mottly crew from Roosevelt went to Court and begged them to increase the tax assessments annually on every house in Nassau County - thinking those people who trashed their homes, drank all day and spent their time on the welfare line - would pay less than the others who worked for a living, maintained their homes and saw their investments increase instead of deteriorate. The fools got themselves just as hefty a tax increase as they got everyone else and THAT you idiot - is what led to the downfall of Nassau County. The high cost of living combined with Suozzi's 20% tax hikes and his circular tax assessment "hearings" - you win one year and instead of his people making progressive changes into the future - he makes you ask for hearings again every year - causing more refunds WITH INTEREST and debt - that he's not paying off.

No, wrong.
The reason the County went into Bankruptcy has nothing to do with reassesment.
The reason is that the Republicans kept pouring money into the municipal employees, i.e. cops, CSEA, so on and did not raise taxes to cover those bills. It's very simple really, they SPENT AND SPENT AND SPENT and never paid the bill.
Imagine you send your sweet, white daughter to the mall with your charge card. And she buys all the latest rap CDs, posters of Jay Z, 50 cent, and baggy jeans. Now, if you never show up at Sanitary District 9 to get your paycheck to pay those credit card bills, you get into big trouble. See, you cannot indulge in fantasy all day long unless you are willing to pay the piper.
that's correct.
Republicans only want power for their own selfish interests. They don't care that they are driving a county into the ground by not paying the bills by charging taxes.
Democrats are reality-based. While they also crave power for the prestige, they actually, realistically solve problems. Taxes are necessary to fund the affairs of the county. Democrats understand that. They don't not raise taxes just to keep getting re-elected. Luckily, the residents of the county are waking up to the fact that Democrats are better for everyone as the financial health of our county is amazing. Thanks Tom Suozzi, Judy Jacobs, and their allies for cleaning up the Republicans' mess.

Lies. lies and more lies. Anyone who believes this crap must be off their meds.
Due to a 60-year old arcane formula, the minority communities paid too much and the rich communities too little. Now balance is being struck, but not there yet.
Utilities are suing to modify the assessment system. They believe it's unfair, too.
Businesses and condos/apartments pay hefty property taxes which subsidize the homeowners. Is that fair?
Only GOP cranks can find fault with fairness. It just goes to show they only want what they can get regardless of the damage they do to our communities.

You are as dense as these dwellings--which is why they are taxed at a higher rate, dummy. More people per square foot means greater strain on services including schools, police, fire, garbage, library, etc. The higher rate of tax offsets the larger amount of people using the services.

You are as dense as these dwellings--which is why they are taxed at a higher rate, dummy. More people per square foot means greater strain on services including schools, police, fire, garbage, library, etc. The higher rate of tax offsets the larger amount of people using the services.
To return in kind, another moron republican heard from. Simplistic (and wrong) answers from a simple mind.
The greater value of the property makes up for the number of people. And you conveniently leave out businesses. Why should the Spirit Agency in Levittown pay any more in property taxes than a homeowner?
All counties in New York State have one property tax rate for ALL properties. Only New York City and Nassau split their properties into four tiers with different tax rates. This is one of the main reasons manufacturing left New York City in the '70's.
First Reinharz

First Suozzi hires Reinharz - who hates everybody BUT jews - and thinks only jewish kids can somehow manage to keep out of trouble while other ethnic children are pre-disposed to commit crimes - and should be locked away until they're 30
and then he hires a guy who runs with the Nation of Islam and HATES Jews.
I guess that's Suozzi's idea of diversity in the workplace.
Suozzi's idea of balance

One guy hates jews the other hates everyone else - must be the Suozzi "balances" things huh?
Pre-Brewington assessments - yes it was fair because you should have to be accountable and responsible for creating your own situation.
Minority villages destroyed their own property values - they deserve what they got - also the rest of the county subsidizes them in the way of welfare and section 8 - can't help that others take care of their property so they don't disintegrate and become worthless. years ago Hempstead was beautiful - population changed - now it's disgusting. it's their fault for letting it run down - why should they get the benefit of paying lower proportionate taxes for letting their property values decline, destroying a neighborhood and ruining the County. Is that fair?
If you drive your car into the ground - and somebody else changes the oil regularly and does what they're suppose to - drives nice and takes care - you think you should get a break on your registration, inspection costs, insurance - because you ruined your property and someone else took care of theirs?
Judges make mistakes and this judge who made that decision made a whopper.
