I have to admit, I’m a little surprised at this one. If you’re going to be writing an article about a 250-person protest against a Democratic African-American mayor accused of making sexual slurs against a gay political rival, and anti-Semitic ones against a Jewish real estate developer, the least that you can do… is mention that the protest is against a Democratic African-American mayor accused of making sexual slurs against a gay political rival, and anti-Semitic ones against a Jewish real estate developer. After all, Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania. Mayor Linda Thompson is therefore going to be a recognized player in Pennsylvania state politics. There’s no real reason to omit that particular tidbit of information…
But organizer Lisa Paige did a decent job of getting people to this thing. Well, for a Democrat, of course; guess she doesn’t know any Tea Partiers.

What’s even funnier is this is the same city that had to go to the state to get help to avoid a bond default:
