[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Turns out the Washington Post had this story three years ago and decided to protect the Alitos.

So much for the “liberal” media [/quote]

This backs up everything Alito has said. It was raised as a “symbol of distress” by his wife and the Post realized back then it was a non story. The only thing that’s changed is that it’s an election year.

Yawn.

“A Post spokesperson said in the story Saturday the paper declined to report on the story at the time because it appeared the flag was raised by Martha-Ann Alito—and not the justice himself—and it appeared to be connected to a dispute with neighbors and that it was not clear at the time the argument was linked to politics.“

Yep.  So 3 1/2 years later, someone felt the need to [i]make[/i] this story political - no doubt because it is an election year.  [/quote]
The original dispute was, in itself, political in nature. She was upset about the language on a political yard sign. She complained to/admonished neighbor and neighbor cursed her out. I’m sorry, but the idea that Mrs. Alito was using an upside down flag to summon aide because she was so distressed over a neighbor calling her a profane word is laughable. She wasn’t asking anyone to come to her rescue. She was making a statement to her neighbors. What do you think that statement was? I think it was “this country is going to hell in a hand basket,” and I think it had a lot to do with not just profanity, but the impending inauguration. You’re welcome to your own interpretation, but unless you know for sure that politics were never discussed between Mrs. Alito and the neighbor, I don’t know how you can completely dismiss any political angle.[/quote]
