Sidebar Discussion #11

[Ricki]

The fact that GA didn't have his wedding band on and the way he was waving his hands around his face when he talked, seemed purposeful to me. Like he wanted people to notice his ringless hand. GA was always a shoulder shrugger, not someone that talks with his hands. Showing up there may have been a * Y** to CA and FCA. I can imagine discussions about the election starting quite a rift in that home last night. Or maybe they're separated and he wants it to come out publicly. Just my gut reaction when I watched the video.

Who knows why his ring is off. Maybe CA is thinking about bringing KC home and George wants no part of it. I guess we can speculate all day why the ring was off.

 

[com n sense]

I wouldnt be too sure about that. The Anthonys are a strange bunch..for all we know Cindy sent him in their and she was waiting for him outside. All for show you can never judge them by their actions.

I remember being fooled by Spindy when she was sobbing at the trial but later realized that they had a preplanned agenda for everything.

ITA with you about Sin, but I have never trusted her! I have always felt differently about GA. This is a punch in the gut to KC. I bet her fisties are flying. Look out GA, KC will have to get you back for this one.
Though I'm not sure she could ever top what she has already done to you.
JMHO

My gut said he is so full of himself he was advertising by raising his hands everywhere to all the women, I am free come and get it. My guess is even the river won't run for him at this point, but who knows.

Like some others, I think George started out wanting to do the right thing. But, he caved under pressure and spent two years in CA's "it's my way or the highway" abyss. I think he came back around, but was saddled with the lies he previously told in his deposition. You could see the torture in his eyes, unlike CA, who lied without an ounce of guilt.

I feel sorry for him. He took the high road with regard to the sexual abuse allegations (those who don't believe him won't change their minds if he denies it 1000 times). I suspect that restraint is what he and JA are alluding to in yesterday's interviews (their private communications).

I don't think he went to JA's victory party for the publicity. I think he lives with unmeasurable sadness and regret. It took more courage than he usually musters to show his face in public and congratulate JA, but he knows he owes the man a debt of gratitude and, to me, his gesture spoke volumes.

Can I ever forget how he let Caylee down? No, of course not. But, I do hope he's able to heal and live with the mistakes he's made. CA, on the other hand ....

 

[Amster]

OMG....I didn't realize how furious I still am at the Anthony enablers!!! Guess I just say congratulations, Jeff! And, go to hades, George!

 

[Hope4More]

Very true Hope. But he OWNS every. single. choice. he. made. and. every. action. he. didn't. take. for. Caylee.

He doesn't get kudos for finally putting on some big boy pants to take the spotlight away from a very deserving man on one of the biggest nights of his life. He could have called, but NO... Big Georgie had to show up and parade himself in front of the cameras. Nothing. has. changed.

Actually, I wasn't giving George kudos for his public demonstration of supporting Ashton. I just decline to believe that he did so with bad or ignorant intent. Least of all do I believe he sought the spotlight to glorify himself in some perverse way, as he's been nothing but trashed, humiliated and debased in the public eye.

Yes, George is accountable for his bad decisions, and I have said so from the get-go. But IMO, the depth of contempt and anger towards George I'm reading here, a year after the verdict, is misplaced and overly judgmental.

These folks aren't stars on a reality show. They are real people, with real flaws and real apparently severe emotional conflicts/problems. Judge not lest you be judged. May no one here ever find themselves in George's position.

:rocker: I totally agree !

BBM: And yes, he could have called -- like call the next day, or sent a "Congratulations" card ... BUT NO ! The A's just canNOT stand it when someone else is in the "spotlight" :banghead:

This is JMO and MOO : but George showing up on Mr. Ashton's "big night" stinks, and obivously there was an 'Anthony ULTERIOR MOTIVE' for this STUNT !

I think that the Anthony's [and/or possibly their attorney] SENT George there because obviously, they could not send Cindy or Lee ... and I won't even mention that other one ... because the A's are "up to something" ! When the Anthony's do something, there is a reason and it is for them and their benefit only :banghead:

Seriously, do you think that George really is happy about Mr. Ashton's success and victory in the election ? Absolutely NOT !

Mr. Ashton is well liked ...

George and the A's ... :silenced: :silenced: :silenced:
:moo:

Thank you HOPE4MORE - you said it so much better than I ever could.

 

[2goldfish]

For whom was his message intended - Ashton, or us. ?

my snip...IMO it wasnt to ashton nor to us, it was to offender anthony. (original snipped quote was regarding GA congratulating JA)

 

[2goldfish]

bells? ohhhh is that like pasties ? (for anyone who remembers that day on sidebar)

:floorlaugh::floorlaugh: I am never telling you guys what I am having for lunch again :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

 

[TotallyObsessed]

:goodpost::goodpost: And I totally agree !


:maddening: The audacity of George Anthony -- OR any Anthony -- to show up for Mr. Ashton's victory ...

This was MR. ASHTON'S DAY and MR. ASHTON'S VICTORY -- NOT the Anthony's day for the spotlight ! The Anthony's NEVER MISS an opportunity for the "spotlight" :banghead:

And as an elected official now, Mr. Ashton had no choice but to acknowledge Geroge ... Mr. Ashton has too much "class" to have chosen to "ignore" George ... and I still feel for Mr. A, and Linda and Frank who gave it their ALL for Caylee !

George HAD his chance ... and he chose [f]CA and CA over Caylee :banghead:

There is nothing George can say now ... his chance has come and gone for Justice for Caylee ... and he will NEVER get that opportunity again ...

:moo::moo:

I would like to know if George supported JA'S campaign in anyway...i.e. financial contributions, time worked at HQ! ETC? Me thinks not. But let the cameras roll...that's when the As do their best work.

I think i smell a book release coming up. After all, we are talking about them this a.m. aren't we? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....nahhhh.

I pray to God NO ONE is EVER in the position of these people. But if I were, i can GUARANTEE i would never behave as they did.

Judge not? Seems to me some opinions ARE being judged IF they aren't sympathetic towards GA.

They sure acted like reality stars. For three years plus.

and got paid like they were!

I can't agree with you more. To say that I would ever even think about covering up for my daughter if I thought that she murdered my grandchild is insulting. I love my daughter and would continue to love her but I would NEVER EVER, lie about facts, eat crap puffs the night they found her body, go on cruises with other people's money while murderer daughter is in jail waiting trial, accuse people I KNOW did not kill my grandchild of doing so, take money for interviews and lie in said interviews, set up funds then spend it all with nothing to show for it but new vehicles or let some lawyer accuse me of doing horrible things to both my daughter and my granddaughter without doing something about it. George did not kill Caylee but he is a sleaze ball diva with no work ethic , no moral compass and NO back bone. The fact that his grandaughter was murdered makes him no better. If he doesn't want to be under a microscope, he should GO AWAY!

So...Oh Hi Jose! :seeya:

Is this going to be the day I give up watching your numbers? Little did I know it would be such a short ride until you hit a sales rank of 20,000. Is it going to be today? A mere six weeks from your release today?:what:

Oh well, oh well!!! :floorlaugh:

my bolding.
yes, I really do think Mr Anthony is happy for Mr Ashton. At a time when no one at all is giving him kindness, Mr Ashton has been kind to George Anthony. Even now, when we all say we think Casey's a liar we still won't show any kindness toward Mr Anthony. To be accused of molesting not only his daughter but Caylee as well, it must feel like he's alone in the world. We all say we do not believe he did molest anyone but we act like he deserves to be accused of it anyway since we do not like anything to do with that family. Mr Ashton always treated George Anthony with respect, as if he knew that George was in a unwinnable position. Mr Anthony is probably very happy for the man who was the only one to show him kindness.

 

[grammieto5]

I have issues with GA because he didn't stand up for baby Caylee. He knew the truth about what was done to baby Caylee. He's known many truths in regards to FCA. He just wasn't strong enough to stand up for the truth, not even for baby Caylee. I believe Mr. Jeff Ashton shows respecct for everyone, that's just the kind of man he is. Jeff Ashton is a very strong man.

 

[grammieto5]

Actually, his friend just showed up on the site.

Yes, I saw that this morning LOL it sure seems to be getting very quiet over there.

I agree, George Anthony did not do the right thing. He caved to Cindy's pressure. I have no doubt that he knows he let Caylee down and I think he lives with it every day. I have no pity for what he did. I think he lives in hell on Earth. He has Cindy, who I bet uses digs and threats to keep him in line. He has a daughter he knows killed Caylee and he has very few friends . He has to live with himself and he has to wake every day and go to bed every night with the image of Caylee burned into his mind. Of all the Anthonys I really think he was the only one who loved Caylee purely because she was Caylee. Cindy and Casey used Caylee as a tool, a weapon, a pawn. Lee seemed indifferent to her. But George, he loved her and he let her down. And as reward for all of this, he is forever labeled an accused molester. He is in hell and he knows it.
