Add One To The Graveyard: Race Baiting, Turtle Obsessed Hack Clive McFarlane Got Shitcanned By The Turtlegram For Being So Dreadful

 

This breaking news brought to you by Bret Killoran:

This is the greatest thing these eyes have ever seen. OG turtle riders will remember Clive “Spanky” McFarlane as one of our oldest rivals. We’ve written about him more times than I can count. His butthurt obsession with Turtleboy is a major reason this blog began to gain popularity and credibility. In March of 2015 he wrote this column “outing” me after a Buffalo blogger had done that 5 months prior. By that point he was sick of me calling out the fact that he is a one trick pony, and that trick is race baiting.

Literally everything to him was racist.

Everything.

Clive knew he couldn’t get to me, which is why he went after my mother for some reason in the first sentence of his hit piece.

“Aidan Kearney, son of former School Committee member Mary Mullaney, is the face behind TurtleBoy Sports, a crass and craven local blog that peddles the cheap thrills that dehumanizing groups and individuals bring to some people.”

I was 32 at the time, and my mother was no longer an elected official. It takes a special kind of untalented hack to pull the “yo mama” card.

He was always upset that legitimate members of the community read this blog that he thought was so beneath him.

What makes these callous and insensitive comments more troubling is that this guy, until recently a teacher at Shepherd Hill Regional High School, appears to have a fair share of enablers. So much so that he feels the blog is the true voice of the community, bragging of how warmly it and its cesspool of profanity-laden commentary are being received by judges, doctors, nurses, teachers, cops and firefighters.

Clive hated Turtleboy because we stood up for teachers at North High School who were being assaulted by students, and we called them words like “savages” because their behavior was savage. He hated that Turtleboy was growing in popularity while he was working in a dying industry; one in which he had a monopoly on public opinion as one of the featured columnists at our local newspaper. So he got desperate and spread libelous nonsense about me being sexual at a Bills-Patriots game.

Last October, his alleged lewd and intimidating behavior toward a young woman at a Patriots-Buffalo Bills game in Buffalo triggered an investigation by school officials at Shepherd Hill. Mr. Kearney, however, chose to resign rather than face the music.

Of course we now know none of that actually happened, and Clive knew it then. If I gave a shit or thought anyone cared what Spanky thought about anything I would’ve brought them to deformation court.

If you want a good laugh read all the comments on the Turtlegram’s Facebook page when they posted this hot garbage.

It’s remarkable they took this long to fire him, and I love Gatehouse Media for it. Gatehouse Media is a predatory monopoly that buys up local newspapers, cuts the fat, and then puts in a paywall that only a moron would ever contribute to. The only thing they care about is money, and the fact of the matter is the newspapers hold onto people for years who don’t bring value to the company. No one reads Spanky’s columns, he wasn’t interesting, and this move should’ve been done years ago. There’s nothing I love more than watching mainstream media hacks who have been calling Turtleboy “not real journalism” lose their minds every time Gatehouse Media makes more cuts. The topping on the cake is that he didn’t get the goodbye column that everyone else gets, probably because they know he’d blame racism.

So much winning.

Anyway, for those of you who are newer you may not remember our feuds with Spanky so allow me to bring to you the Top 10 Spank Butthurt Blogs About Turtleboy.

    It’s about friggin time! He is one of the many who are slowly finding out that people are sick of hearing racism cries over everything. Every day another race baiter or a “one of the good whites” fall by the wayside. Now old Clive is out of work, past his prime, and has nowhere to go but down. I love it when the crowd of baiters get slapped around. Bye Clive…..

    Bob Voyage Spanky. You never wrote about anything besides every part of this city being racist with no corroboration except your own words.. The only thing you never mentioned was being arrested in Worcester, which fueled your short lived career, boring and monogamous, one way monologues that single out everyone but you as a racist. Your 1982 Bob Marley stunt double file photo was as useless as your articles you wrote.

    Race hustlers are some of the worse types of utilitarians around. shit like that makes it harder for minorities who are actually discriminated against. your average white person (think the griswolds) is not a racist, gets put off to that shit, and racism is now cheapened. in the mean time the perpetrator of the race hustling gets some sort of value exchange for it. at best it creates resentment for “protected” classes.

    off to the gulag for this asshole.

  • Hey Clive!
    August 13, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    There is no indignity. It is extremely ceremonious for those who can see the obvious. You are deprived of nothing. You are owed nothing. You failed to adapt to a changing media world. If you did not foresee what was coming then that is your own god damn fault. Enjoy retirement you fucking race baiting hack. Even in your twilight you create excuses and victimize yourself. Bonjour Mother Fucker!

    Clive wrote for the T&G for many years and now he’s been handed a (small) cardboard box to pack his career into… as he stands on the curb waiting for his Uber to take him away one last time… I recall this letter I once received along with a truly stunning rosewood pen…

    Worcester Telegram & Gazette

    Dear Mr. Larson,

    July 2, 2012

    Congratulations.

    Your letter to The People’s Forum has been selected as the Letter of the Week.
    Your engraved rosewood Telegram & Gazette Letter of the Week pen is enclosed. We hope you enjoy it.

    Regards,
    Chris Sinacola
    Editor of the Editorial Pages

    Of course now the T&G is just an apologist for the undemocratic Democratic Party!

    Paul Larson

    Hey Clive… I got 2 words for ya… SUCK IT!

    • Chris
      August 14, 2019 at 12:05 pm

      I won a “Letter of the Week” pen 5 yrs. ago before the T&G became a Democrat shill. In the old days the (separate) papers were owned by John Birchers Charles Stoddard and George F. Booth, and the routinely endorsed Republican candidates for major office except for Ted Kennedy when he was up for re-election up until the early 2010’s. Heck, Gatehouse bought the Worcester Magazine, which is now being stuffed into the Thurs. paper. So much for leaving on the street corners for FREE for 40 yrs.!

    I was no fan of Clyde, but I liked to read his column for laughs, although I think that maybe once or twice I did agree with him.

    Now the T&G has no columnists, no reporters, no community digests — NOTHING! It’s nothing but a rehash of the AP, and what you read is usually two days late. It is not worth getting anymore. You can read the obituaries on-line, although you have to go through a ton of BS ads before going from A-Z.

    I still believe there is a market for good newspapers, but good newspapers require good journalism, which is something we no longer see, and good newspapers require good customer service, which you don’t get when you call circulation and get someone in India. In the supermarkets they can’t even give away the T&G anymore. I used to save it for when I did painting. Now I just use the free tarps I get at Harbor Freight.

    Did they give Clive a small cardboard box to take home all of his journalism awards? Hope he suffered the indignity of having someone from security stand over him as he packed and then walk him out the door.

    This is the greatest news. Clive, the jerk-off, has been the most insane, biased voice in Worcester for years. He has tried to take down police officers every chance he gets. He has attempted to turn the schools into his personal property even to the point of championing that wreck of a superintendent, Boonie. Good riddance Clive. You sucked and Worcester is a better place without your dribble on the pages of the newspaper.
