Mayor Michael Wildes has loudly and publicly expressed his righteous indignation over City Councilman Gordon Johnson's past donations to an anti-Bush group affiliated with Lyndon LaRouche. Quoting The Record (11/1/07):

Michael Wildes, the Democratic mayor of Englewood, where Johnson is also a city councilman, called on Johnson to resign from his council seat Tuesday, saying there is no way to reconcile a donation to a candidate as divisive as LaRouche.

Quoting from Mr. Wildes' own website:

As most of us who are remotely aware of politics in the United States know, Mr. LaRouche has espoused divisive and hate filled charges and conspiracies against homosexuals, Jews, the Royal family, leading Democrats, and more throughout his three decades on the national stage. I found it difficult to comprehend how Mr. Johnson would somehow have been unaware of any of that at age 57, especially as a politician.

Well, according to a Democratic Committeewoman in Ridgefield Park, our Mayor hasn't always been in such high dudgeon over Mr. LaRouche and his supporters.

We invite you to Google the following:  Nancy Guice, Ridgefield Park. The top link, entitled "Stop NJ Election Lynching," should prove enlightening.  Incidentally, Ms. Guice appeared at a recent Englewood City Council meeting to publicly confront the Mayor who was, conveniently (or fortunately), absent.

 Quoting her from the webpage (emphasis added):

Having met Mr. Wildes 2 years ago, I was shocked to read in "The Record" that he had called for Gordon Johnson's resignation for supporting the divisive (sic) policies of Lyndon LaRouche. When Mr. Wildes called me personally to solicit my and my husband's support for his campaign, (we were Democratic Party County Committeemen), two years ago, I asked him if he was aware of our association with Lyndon LaRouche. I was happy with his response when he said, "that's WHY I'm calling you". He had prefaced his request with the notion that his campaign was to clean up corruption in the Bergen County Democratic Party. Apparently, he recognized that support from two activists in LaRouche's movement, would be synonomous with routing out corruption in the local Democratic Party, and he was right. He sought our support then, but now pretends to not know us. Pretty rotten, huh?

In the Age of Google, a politician's hypocrisy is just a mouse click away.
