Foolish Attacks Against Democratic Candidate Jon Powers
March 24, 2008 4:56 pm
This other website referred to Jon Powers as Jon, ”BABY FACE” Powers. The last time I remember a politician called ‘Baby Face’ was in 1962 when Bobby Kennedy came to Buffalo to accept the Catholic Youth Award as the outstanding Young Catholic American.
History has shown that Bobby Kennedy honestly earned his ruthless reputation by the way he fought against racism and for the rights of the needy people of New York. When “Baby Face” Kennedy was gunned down in Los Angeles he was still a young man. As he was lying on the floor bleeding to death, he held a rosary in his hands. What a price he paid for having courage and standing up for what he believed in. It didn’t matter whether he was 65 or 34. Age means nothing when you have the gift of courage in your heart.
This other website stated Jon Powers still celebrates his birthday at “Chuck E Cheese”. Really? If this were true we’ll have to admit that Jon’s a heck of a fellow for keeping his business in Amherst. No matter how foolish the attacks being made by this other website editor are, people should ask themselves why, for no reason at all, is he attacking Jon Powers? Is it because this man didn’t serve his county? Maybe age has passed him by without anyone mentioning his courage. It could simply be that age 29 is well behind him and never was called ‘BABY FACE’ by anyone.
