Fans of the Colbert Report are no doubt familar with the segment “Formidable Opponent” where Steven Colbert debates who he sees as being his only worthy opponent - himself.
Harold Smith often likes to get into “debates” on his website - where, if you challenge him, he might respond to you and refer to you as a “subscriber”. To his credit, you can read he and I go at it in an on-going exchange [click here]. However, it’s most interesting when Harold debates - Harold.
Here he is on the subject of Cabarrus County Manager John Day. Enjoy.
Point - Harold Smith
John Day:
- is a loose cannon…reduce the salary of John Day (May 29, 2005)
- could be covering up information on the Jail (December 2005)
- would be fired if he were in the private sector (December 2005)
- is “The Master of Deception” (May 2006)
- maintains his own personal slush fund (June 2006)
- provides no budgetary oversight to his departments (June 2006)
- has huge perks (July 2006)
Counterpoint - Harold Smith
Commissioners, please let John Day do his job! (April 6, 2007)

Just like a liberal. Lose the debate, change the topic!

Uh, Harold if you go to the last post, you’ll see I responded directly to your last comment. You’re certainly welcome to respond to it.
It’s a new weekday and that means a new post. Your bloviating gives me ample opportunity to come up with material.
And while we’re on the subject of debating, if changing the topic on a debate hosted on my site makes me a liberal - what does not allowing a debate on your site say about you?

This is most likely the sole issue I agree with you on, Justin. I read the site regularly, but rarely comment. The insanity of Harold Smith is one thing that keeps me coming back. I applaud you in testing this senile individual even if he repeatedly fails to justify his ramblings. Your posts successfully reassures me that what he says continues to be bullshit, and I don’t give him the liberty of another hit on his terribly designed site. Good work.

Christopher - thanks. And I’m sure that this isn’t the sole issue that you can I agree on. Let’s try some others:
- I prefer to read left to right - and you?
- Puppies - cute or not cute? I’m the “Puppies are cute” camp
- Money - does Justin make enough? OK, if you talk to my boss you might join him and we might disagree.
Thanks for the comment

Do you remember when the TIF was first discussed and Harold came out in favor of it? I was very concerned because I like the TIF and if Harold liked it I was concerned I was over looking something. Now that he is firmly against it I ‘m sure we’re on the right track. I Enjoy your site. Keep up the good work.

Yeah, I remember Coy’s comments on the TIF during the Primary. You can follow the link or you can enjoy this snippet:
