Heathens abandon Halloran

From the Village Voice:

Disappointment in Halloran by the members of his tribe, some say now, was instant: They’d already had their doubts while he was running for office.

“If you’re a Republican, and you’re a heathen, you’re shooting yourself in the foot!” says Valadia Kasandria Kristoffersen, an early member of New Normandy who goes by the name Kasidy. “I mean, if you’re a Republican, and you’re not a Christian, they don’t like you.” (Kristoffersen, who swore her oath to Halloran’s “Luck” as a member of his “Reich,” says she “defended him to death” for years. Now, she is more likely to call him “that slimy son of a bitch.”)

On the campaign trail, Halloran seemed to go back and forth about his beliefs. During a Tea Party speech from Bowne Park in Flushing right before the election, he said, “My gods!” (plural) at one point. At the end, though, he wound up screaming about “programs that never worked, never will, and ultimately come back to bite us in the ass,” and then slipped back into the singular deity as he yelled, “It’s our nation, one nation, under God, and indivisible with liberty and justice for all!”

If Halloran were ambivalent on the campaign trail, as an elected official, he seems to have abandoned his love of the Germanic deities altogether.

Kristoffersen expressed disdain that, as a councilmember, Halloran has been “giving his money to all of these religious charities, but he’s never given, one time, as far as I know, to any pagan groups,” a sentiment echoed by other former followers. In an interview with the website Pagan+Politics, Halloran said that he had “funded Orthodox Jewish, Catholic, mainstream Jewish, Lutheran, Protestant, Buddhist, and Hindu” organizations. He mentioned nothing about pagan groups and said nothing about his own New Normandy.

Kristoffersen describes the meetings of New Normandy in the Camelot days as being “the most amazing thing. It was like being family. It was like coming home.” With Halloran as their Atheling, for several years, Kristoffersen and others were excited to have a leader serious about the historical accuracy of heathenry. Under his leadership, this wasn’t lightweight fairy stuff like Wicca: This was the real deal, re-creating the life of their heathen ancestors.

Now, she says, “not a single person from that era is still there.” No one the Voice spoke to in 2009 about New Normandy is still in the group.

“There is not a man who knows him well, not a one, who doesn’t hate his guts now,” another former follower says.

after reading Thrasher,i can't wait for the next cm or nys senate election, TO VOTE FOR HALLORAN.

a Rehash,a Rehash. tell me some news that i did not know already ?

btw: who is Steven Thrasher ? i googled his name.
a column entitled,"WHITE AMERICA HAS LOST ITS MIND" and'WHITE PEOPLE HAVE SIMPLY GONE SHEER F--KING INSANE"....he is a negro and former OBAMA ORGANIZER, according to :R.E.PRINDLE , "SPEAKS HIS MIND"

"One is astonished at some of the things that find their way to the internet. The Village Voice that venerable old journal of NYC Bohemia has chosen to astonish us all with perhaps its version of JOURNALISM OF THE FUTURE.They have an astonishing OFF BALANCE JOURNALIST on the staff, THE NEGRO STEVEN THRASHER......Perhaps Mr. T has read that things are not looking all that rosy for the Obama team this November and he decided to give the pres. his best shot to help things along.

One asks for whom? the Obama team or THE TEA PARTY ?

it appears that the author was trying to tie in all of our councilmans lies

if a man abandons his family in America he is done politically

if a man abandons his flock in this case halloran abandoning the 100 or so people that followed him should the same happen?

the consistant lies and abandoning seems to be the key to this story.

lets stay focused and not troll around coming up with bulshit defenses of a man who abandons his religion abandons his flock lies for sensational media coverage yells at business owners curses at them and berates his constituents

read the story and tell me that isnt dan dan hes our man

get real and get rid of this stooge

The racist/white supremacist rant of Anonymous #1 is proof-positive that even the dumbest of the dumb can use a computer.

A big thank you to Queens Crap for permitting those comments to be posted and allowing us to see the type of person who supports Halloran.

Calling all racists, white supremacists, bigots and hate mongers - Your Halloran needs you now!

Of what relevance is Steven Thrasher's race?

Anonymous said...

It's funny you should use the term "REICH"! Didn't he take an all expenses paid trip to Bulgaria after he was elected by a far right wing Bulgarian politial party? And that picture of him screming that was in Queens Crap reminds me of someone else. Does Halloran want to be President.

Race is always relevant in Amerika.
It's mandated by the government. Anonymous is just doing what the government wants him to do.

Read R.E.Prindle's review of Thrasher. He reveals the race of the author, not the Q.C.commenter. comprehension is important when you read ?

according to Thrashers own pen ,is he not consumed with the "WHITE MAN" ?

the MASTERS OF DECEIT "are at it again.

Sounds like you're obsessed with The Black Man, Gramps. I comprehend everything, including your reliance on shopworn far-right cliches.

Dan Halloran is the only Politico in North Queens who stands up for the Catholic Faithful

When it comes to issues regarding Catholics they all run for the hill especially
TONY "lets redefine marriage" Avella

tony just because your boyz
stavisky, gianirriss, peralta etc wanted to redefine marriage
what did your constituents want
did you ever poll them

that commenter was talking about the article's author. It seems to be you that suffers from poor comprehension.

I suspect you've let a prescription lapse.

I don't live in Halloran's district -nor even Queens. Point is, if this character harbors wider office intentions he better get a good campaign manager/confessor to counsel him.

This type always has a lot in their closet.

He would be regarded as a joke in the rest of this fair town.

That area of Queens suffers from Long Island-itus. On one hand it gives us someone such as Avella -a decent midlevel pol who 'might' be viable for Mayor (I voted for him in the Dem primary) on the other an utter embarrassment like Halloran.

Is that any different than Peter Vallone having his council office in the same building as his law firm? Let's get real here.. politicians co-mingle their personal business with their council business all the time.. they all do...

Tony Avella will be State Senator for as long as he wants to be. Deal with it.

Anonymous said...

Why everyone so testy tony avella does not share the values of Catholics or Jews. That is a narrative he wrote with parkside in his last election.

Anonymous said...

Halloran is always fighting for this or that but never really accomplishes anything for the community. Lets see the list. He still gets puff pieces from local newpapers and columnists with the exception of Crapper. Good work on exposing this phony, Queens Crap.

"...Avella -a decent midlevel pol who 'might' be viable for Mayor..."

And this decent mid-level pol is in bed with that other decent mid-level pol named Charles Barron. Birds of a feather....

The winds seem to forecast a big year for dan in 2012. By by tony you can always run for the council against vallone in a special election after dan beats you. Prediction dan the next senator and debra markell the next council woman.

Anonymous said...

Prediction: Tony remains as Senator and Dan stays in the Council if the Dems don't get their act together. No way Avella loses to Halloran.

as long as this post/link detailed SiX Village Voice pages of the districts present CM,it must be fair to detail commenter #26"s " a decent mid level pol ."statement about former Cm. T. AVELLA 's support of Bklyn. CM Charles Barron.

first the Wiki data on Barron: he is a former Black Panther and member of the "NATION OF ISLAM".With staunch beliefs in affirmative action, reparations for slavery,ebonics training for teachers, and a "dislike for capitalism".

he led protests & community activism in Bklyn. he launched the black/latino freedom party & will expand it to new states in 2013, when he is term limited.

he proposed a corner street sign in honor of ABUBADIKA SONNY CARSON,arrested for murder in 1974 and convicted of kidnapping.
then CM, T.Avella supported Barron in the city council vote for the Carson signs.

he should wear a sign"trained by L.Stavisky".

i will always vote against candidates with real left wing activity in their hidden resumes.

Silly stuff here. Halloran is a better Councilman than Avella ever was.

He also works better with other legislators than Avella ever has.

Tony doesn't have any enemies, it's just that all of his friends hate him.
