Bill Barnwell, a rookie
candidate for Macomb County commissioner, has done it again. Barnwell has written
a hit piece that targets himself, demonstrating through self-deprecating
humor that he is already well-schooled in the ways that rivals may attempt to
trash his candidacy.

The Warren Democrat’s first
spoof of an anti-Barnwell ad came in February when he posted on Facebook a
script for a 30-second spot. It was a possible response by a political foe who
discovered that Barnwell’s proclaimed Macomb County roots were tainted by a few
years in the past when he lived in the Flint area.

A portion of that parody ad went like this:
… He even still has an 810 area code
cell phone number to prove it.

Was Bill even born in Macomb County, or does he REALLY have Genesee County
blood pumping through his corrupt veins? We would know IF Bill released his
long-form birth certificate. But so far, he hasn’t.
So what are you hiding Bill?

A similar tongue-in-cheek approach was followed
by Barnwell, son of former Warren City councilman Bill Barnwell, after he
admitted on Facebook to a slightly embarrassing faux pas while on the campaign
trail over the weekend.

After walking door-to-door for about a mile in
an unfamiliar subdivision, Barnwell couldn’t remember where he had parked. He
admitted on FB that he wandered aimlessly for quite some time before he found
his vehicle.

That misadventure prompted the candidate to dream up
another anti-Barnwell hit piece that went like
this:
another anti-Barnwell hit piece that went like
this:
(Sinister background music; picture of Barnwell photo-shopped
next to Nancy Pelosi and crumbling Warren potholes)
Bill Barnwell says he knows
the City of Warren.
So then WHY can’t Bill
Barnwell find his way around town?
Maybe Bill has a drinking
problem and can’t remember where he parked his car. Is that true? Probably not.
But what IF it is?
Then Bill claims he just has a
‘bad sense of direction.”
And boy is he right.
Because if Bill Barnwell is
elected, he’s going to take Warren down a very confused path indeed.
Bill Barnwell. No vision. No
direction. Unless he’s taking ORDERS from his liberal elite pals who are
destroying America and destroying Warren’s roads.
On August 5th, vote for one of
the other two guys. They won’t destroy America.

If I were either of those
other two guys running in the 1st District Democratic primary, former
commissioner Andrey Duzyj or Jeremy Fisher, I might set aside any ideas of
taking some pot shots at Barnwell. He seems rather well-equipped to shoot back.
