Hi again readers. Here is the PROOF I needed that Craig Newmark and the site craigslist.org is unwilling to remove ads, in which the party who places the ad is perpetrating a blatant scam on people who use their site. The proof is simply stated in Craig Newmark's own words. See for yourself. I have copied the e-mail below.
In this latest e-mail, Craig alleges that he has no contacts, and cannot find out officially, whether or not this person, is she "KIM" or "IRA C" (she apparently uses a fake name in her scam ads). All I had to do was make a couple of calls and found out THAT on my own, that there is no license for the alleged charity in Skowhegan. I have no contacts and I somehow managed to get that information!
If you look at Craig's Blog, you will see that in order to make himself feel even more important than he thinks he is, he has to flaunt his "Contacts", uh "Relationship" with Barrack Obama. Tell me Craig, with such blatant self-promotion on not only your Blog, but also on your Facebook, and Goodness only knows how many other sites, do you own a little red sports car?
Why don't you tell us just how much money it costs to have such a big name politician in your "pocket", who is willing to pose with you for your self-serving promotions? I am sure my readers would like to know..... How much in campaign contributions do you have to make to be buy that much quality time with such a high-ranking public official????? One can only surmise, that this is how it is done, isn't that true Craig?
