Buffalo Pundit takes exception to my remarks about Marc Coppola. He then makes the baseless assertion, in the follow-up comments, that Free Buffalo is not serious about abolishing the political “machine.”
Pundit’s endorsement of Eliot Spitzer, announced on Hardline with Hardwick, spoke volumes and cast serious doubts about his objectivity on issues involving the political “machine.” He couldn’t have endorsed “machine” politics any louder without advocating a return to Tammany Hall. Pundit’s recent statement on Byron Brown underscores his position - “a man who has really impressed me in recent weeks, and someone who is really trying to make a difference.”
Two politicians, bought and paid for by the special interests, supported by Buffalo Pundit. If you want to endorse machine politics, that is your business. However, attempting to marginalize groups, such as Free Buffalo, for fighting the political “machine” is disingenuous at best.
