What is the Point, Don?

If self-proclaimed anti-cancer guru Don Hassig ever had any credibility in the public's eyes, he loses more of it ever time he is arrested for acting goofy. Although  he is still revered and admired by some of the far-out left wing and tends to be worshiped as a Pied Piper by immature students on some local college campuses, Hassig's continued foolishness makes him nothing more than a one-dimensional cartoon character.
The latest target is the Post Post Office.
The Post Office? Really Don? Is that the best you can do?
Looks like it's time for you to fold your carnival tent and head back under you rock. You are apparently retreating further from the parameters of normal life and further marginalizing your message and your phoney "movement."
Give it up, Don, you're looking desparate.
But then again, it's really not about pollution, or chemicals or cancer with you, is it Don? It's all about you and
you quixotic quest for attention and money. The more you're out there, the more publicity you get and the more opportunity you have to capitalize on everybody's worst fear - cancer.
How much money do you make on this Don? And who's paying you to do it?
It's time for you to come clean and be honest with the public for once about who you are and what you're really after.
Here's a summary of Don's latest escapade:

"Environmental activist, Congressional candidate arrested at Potsdam post office

Sunday, November 27, 2011 - 9:34 am
POTSDAM – A long-time environmental activist was arrested Saturday for refusing to leave the Potsdam Post Office, according to village police.
Donald L. Hassig, 56, Colton, was charged with trespassing at 12:10 p.m. He is known for staging one-person protests in public places.
In October, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at the St. Lawrence County Courthouse after he allegedly was verbally abusive with county personnel and, after being asked to leave the building, refused.
In August, Hassig said he has founded the Kick Ass Revolution Party and will run for the 23rd Congressional seat on a platform of “good changes that will immediately spark the poisonous dislike of nearly all members of the corporate-government tribe.”
Just recently, Massena Town Supervisor Joseph Gray said he and the town council were duped by Hassig into passing a resolution now being used as 'outlandish propaganda' against local business and industry.
Gray, in a letter to NorthCountryNow.com, said Hassig issued a self-serving press release to the media after the town council 'adopted a resolution in support of federal and state government educational outreach programs to warn citizens of the cancer hazard imposed by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) exposure from food contamination.'
Earlier this month, in a letter to the editor, Hassig maintained it is time for an environmental revolution in the county."

  1. I think most rational people already know what a "flake" Hassig is.
    Just writing this blog about his lastest incident is what he is after.
    He wants attention and unfortunately, Mr Gray, you have just given it to him.
    In his mind Don wins again!

  2. Your antics publicly equal Hassig's

  3. My "antics"? Do explain? Give one "antic" of mine that comes even close to equalling Mr. Hassig?
    My guess is you just don't like me much. That's okay but have the guts to say so or explain why, rather than just throw out a potshot that has no substance.
