I'm from Prince William County, VA (PWC), home of the controversial and illegal billboard at 9500 Liberty Street in Manassas, VA and the raison-d'etre for the eponymously titled blog, "9500 Liberty" by Eric Byler, an aspiring film maker desperately in search of a controversial topic that will catapult him from the ranks of the wannabees/struggling to the dizzying heights of Michael Moore fame.
His editing style is reminiscent of Moore's in that it is not fair or balanced and his bias in favor of any pro-illegal alien group or philosophy is evident in his approach to his "documentary".
Although Eric and Annabel claim to want to elevate public discourse about this timely and difficult topic, any viewpoint that is consistently contrarian to their "vision" and bias is edited, suppressed and blocked. In true Orwellian fashion, certain words and thoughts are "verboten" in Eric and Annabel land -- especially the term "anchor baby" which is deemed racist and offensive.
However, allowing scurrilous and continuous ad hominem attacks against dissenters is encouraged and allowed free rein in 9500 Liberty land.
Note that the term "anchor baby" is offensive and "hate speech", but this recent posting is "not":
by a poster identified as "AuntieM16" on May 26th:
"hear what you're saying, but Help Save MyWhiteAss is doing a good job of marginalizing themselves right now. No one is paying them any mind other than the FBI and other law enforcement agencies watching them for hate crimes and vigilantism."
Note that the epithet is racially-based....but since it is anti-white, it is okay in 9500 Liberty Land and not flagged as "hate speech".
Also, there is no evidence that "Help Save Manassas" is being "watched" for hate crimes and/or "vigilantism", but it is an important part of the need to manage the narrative to cast out insinuations that HSM is a "vigilante" group.
The idea that a group of like-minded patriot and democracy loving citizens banded together to resolve an issue that was having deleterious effect on our neighborhoods and community at large is something that Eric, Annabel and their fellow travelers refuse to accept, and the success of local activist groups like HSM are further evidence that their concerted effort to "manage the message" has failed.

RIGHT ON.
(Just a heads up, it's spelled Annabel.) ^^
Thanks Belle....I'm taking your word for it and went back and edited for "Annabel". ^^
LOL, at least that's how I saw it on their channel ;)
ugh, don't even try to edit Eric's wikipedia page anymore XP
Well, it's ironic that I started this blog because I was upset about the tone of public discourse.
It appears that the ugliness has spread.
The Obama campaign tries to preach a message of "unity", but famously told Hillary supporters (the "PUMAS") to leave the party if they wanted to continue to protest about the hijacking of the democratic process during the Democratic primary season. What happened was ugly thuggery.
Furthermore, Obama continues his message of "unity" and new politics by unleashing...."Action Wires" to suppress and shout down those who wish to engage in debate about his history, track record and policies.
Milt Rosenberg is hardly a partisan nor an unfair interviewer. He has a track record of being a polite host to a wide variety of guests from across the political spectrum.
I am very troubled at how the Obama campaign is conducting themselves. As I research more into Obama's background and how he secures power, from his first steps on the political stage in Illinois, the more alarmed I am becoming.
It really is time to stop shouting, and begin listening...to each other, with politeness and respect.
I want to believe that we can do this.
I am SO posting this on FB. It needs to go viral.
