The tattler and Steven Smith, aka intergalactic man, are so ridiculous that they do not even merit a response.

However, I must speak up in the interest of the American Friends of Al Quds University (AFAU), which has been falsely accused of links to terrorism in this thread. AFAU support the secular, non-partisan Al Quds University related in Jerusalem.

Neither the University or AFAU have ever previously been accused of links to terrorism. The University is supported strongly by the international community, including the UN and the US State Department, but it still has problems gaining enough funds to operate.

AFAU is by its bylaws a secular, non-partisan organization which is devoted to supporting education in Palestine, particularly at the Al Quds University. The group was recently granted approval by the IRS for 501c3 status.

This is just another example of a baseless attack made by a bigoted and vile man.

IGM — on Red County, I threw open a question, could anyone name any accomplishments from Shea and Choi. The response back was the Skate Park and the Dog Park in Irvine were both Shea initiatives (and they were both done when she was mayor more than 8 years ago). Shea has been back in office since 2002/Choi since 2004 — neither has a record of accomplishment the warrants keeping them in their seats.

Watch the video of Tuesday’s council meeting and jump to the section on emails and I challenge you to listen to what Choi talks about; he rambles in incoherent busts of thought and no two ideas connected to each other. And neiter Shea nor Choi have an appreciation or respect for Roberts Rules of Order nor the person wielding the Gavel.

The email thing isn’t stupid; read the privacy policy on the city’s web site. And since the only other person who seems to give a rat’s ass about Gallinger’s residence is Smith combined with parroting Smith’s talking points, I’d say I have a pretty good idea who Intergalatic Man is…

The Register’s subheadline was not written bythe reporters but likely their copydesk using the story as a guideline; neither the facts of the story nor the subjead was retracted in any way. Smith’s constant referral to the online archieve headline of the story (while true) does not hold up with his claim that Gallinger “altered” the headline for the Pro-Measure H mailer. So now the paper got it wrong? Nope. The reprinted headline and subhead is fair game. Smith isn’t counting of folks actually going to the library to use Microfice to find the truth (at 20 cents a copy I might add).

I’m not giving out Todd’s address, but let’s say that if I called him right now, we could both meet at the Starbucks in the new Woodbury Shopping Plaza in about five minutes. He lives in a very nice neighborhood.

I think the short answer is “NO!”

TheLiberalOC.com has confirmed that Mr. Galliger currently lives in Irvine. Your information is incorrect.

I searched google and whitepages.com and Todd Gallinger does not live in irvine. Only his law offices are in Irvine but his home is in the lake forest/mission viejo area. I got his phone number from the American Friends Of Al Quds University (suspected terrorist connection) tax data and it is a Mission Viejo number. I find it hard to believe that a 28 year old lawyer not even a decade out of law school lives in Irvine. Especially with a building in park place. i don’t even want to think about how much the rent is there. Sorry for stalking you todd, but your a liar.

Well then this means that the OC register is wrong in calling her a lobbyist, its not like papers are impervious to error, and the author was probably looking for a catchy title. Anyways I don’t see how this makes Beth Krom and Company any more the better. Its just a matter of how good can we diss the other guy. (Note: I like how the word smear has such horrible connotations as to sway undecideds.) I mean lately Beth Krom has had nothing good to say at all in the council meetings and it was Larry Agran who started the whole stupid email thing. Clearly the winner here is the one who can end it and move on.
