Reply #207: Here's what I just emailed him:

Understand you were the mastermind of the purple heart bandaid caper at the COP convention yesterday.
To: Morton Blackwell - re: those GREAT purple heart bandaids


WOW!!!! STELLAR job!!!!!

I commend your exquisite timing!!!! What a great idea!!!!!

I am so stoked that you engineered that campaign for yesterday (Tuesday 8/31) - the VERY SAME DAY that the inside of Madison Square Garden was plastered with posters proclaiming "PEOPLE OF COMPASSION"!

Absolutely CAPITAL timing, sir!

Now ALL of America knows what ungodly hypocrites you guys are.

Here's to your eventual redemption...

I also phoned that message in to the "Leadership Institute." As in "Leadership straight down the garden path."


By the way - the switchboard operator there offered to transfer me to Blackwell's voicemail so I could leave that message (after attempting, somewhat weakly, to disavow that their organization had anything to do with it). I accepted. Then, I found myself in a black hole for a few moments. I suspect perhaps they've been advised to take these calls and transfer them to no-man's-land to keep you on the line - either to trace them or to run up your phone bill. These ARE dirty trickster operatives, after all... Just a heads-up.
