More lies, baloney and fabrications

MORE LIES FROM THE UCO REPORTER

Joy Vestal and Myron Silverman co-editors of the UCO Reporter published a vicious hate letter written by executive board member Milton Cohen. They have allowed Mr. Cohen to spew his prejudicial lies about Esther Sutofsky without the benefit of giving Esther the opportunity to respond.  This was another case of discrimination fostered by Joy and her co-conspirator puppet, Myron Silverman.  They have further disgraced the Reporter. Here are MY answers to Mr. Cohen.

Mr. Cohen stated in his letter to the editor that Ms Sutofsky marred The September Delegate Assembly, when she asked people who disagreed with the officers to turn their backs on them and walk out of the hall.  The fact is the people who left were disgusted with David Israel for not allowing them to vote on petitions sent to the delegate assembly -  they walked out in protest  on  their own accord.  The people who wanted to speak did not walk out.

Mr. Cohen goes on to disrespect Ms.  Sutofsky by referring to her as a so-called educator.  The reality is Ms.  Sutofsky is highly educated and was principal of a school for many years. I doubt Mr. Cohen has as much education or experiences other than as a police officer saying, “STOP-DON’T-MOVE.”

 Mr. Cohen continues to say Ms Sutofsky’s first act as an elected official was to disrupt our assembly and deny other homeowners the opportunity to hear useful and important information. Ms Sutofsky and others have always stated their adverse opinions in the delegate assembly and if Mr. Cohen believes that to state one's opinion is to disrupt maybe he wants to go back to the time of Hitler Germany when anyone who spoke against the Fuehrer was bashed over the head and thrown out of the auditorium.

Mr. Cohen further states, the people - meaning the officers - have worked hard and have Century Village welfare at heart -  Really?  The people in David’s administration do not have the welfare of the village at heart. They are only interested in satisfying their own egos. If they really cared about the village, they would be screaming about David Israel wasting six million dollars on a crappy road job.

Because the protesters walked out of the delegate meeting, Mr. Cohen accuses Ms Sutofsky of denying the villagers an opportunity to learn about upcoming events such as the Thanksgiving Day dinner, and the honor flight for WWII veterans. No one ever held a gun to anyone's head and told them to leave – they left on their own accord. Bettie Bleckman started the Thanksgiving Day Dinner at the Clubhouse - it was her initial idea. She planned and supervised the first dinner and  Mr.  Cohen now wants to take credit.  As for the Honor flight, anyone person who does not respect the freedom Veterans fought for has no business being part of the tradition to honor them. 

In his final paragraph, Mr. Cohen claims to be suspect of Ms.  Sutofsky’s patriotism. The truth is, a real patriot is one who believes in freedom of Speech, The Press, Freedom of Assembly, Equal Rights, Freedom to petition and the right to bear arms. The true patriot is Esther Sutofsky, who is fighting for these freedoms not Milton Cohen, who is fighting against them.    Mr. Cohen continues to recall the people who spat upon the veterans returning home from Korea and Vietnam. He indirectly accuses her of taken part in this act. Truth is she was about three or four years old during the Korean War. Can you really envision   a three or four-year-old spitting at a vet. As for the Vietnam War, protesters knew it was a dirty war, which killed mainly Latinos, African Americans and other minorities and lined the pockets of the big corporations - it was a war fought for profits, not freedom.  Years later, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara a hawk, from the Kennedy administration apologized to the American people and   admitted the war was a grave mistake.

I am sorry to say Mr. Cohen; you make me regret we fought so hard to keep people like you alive during the Vietnam war. History has proven us right. Can you say the same for the vitriolic smut you wrote about in the UCO Reporter? No, I will bet you cannot. Esther Sutofsky happens to be an intelligent compassionate person who puts people before herself. It is too bad you,  Milton Cohen , cannot do the same.  

Joy Vestal and Myron Silverman are a disgrace to the editorial profession.
