(Phone Message Caught on Tape?) Say It’s Not So! Did State Representative Demetrius Atsalis Anonymously Call Church Soup Kitchen?

• IMHO, Atsalis is an arrogant and elitist POS; and this little muscle-flexing action on his part serves as an excellent example of such! This forum should be commended for publishing this story; for IMO it portrays him far differently than all those drive-by media photos of a smiling young native family man. Keep up the good work Hyannis News; and I urge Barnstable voters to remember this little incident the next time you see the name Atsalis on a ballot. Sparky

• Mike, your not making sense. At least he is making it? Standing up for his beliefs? What kind of crap is that? Mike, do you understand these political types are all from money? They dont give a crap about anyone but themselves, this is why America is in the shape it is! Power to the people, not some rich kid who abuses his power that was given to him from the people!

• One of the poor bad boyz, with his 12-year-old IQ, career-criminal history, and junkie habit, that utilizes that soup-kitchen hates Baptists...he likes the free food, but hates them....maybe he was the one who spray-painted their church with the hate graffiti. They feed junkies and crazy people. Good for them, is appreciated by the locals. Local crazy, isolated Cape Cod politics are not worth getting embroiled in, it's just all repetitive bitterness and hatred down here against those that have and those that have not.

• Wow apparently he makes a habit of getting into other peoples buisness. Maybe he should learn to go to the the person if he has a problem with what is going on. Another coward move from a wanna be politician. He likes to get into folks personal buisness also, maybe we should get into his. What do you say Hiram

• This is a joke, find something better to do with our time, bullying a soup kitchen. I will vote against this guy until he is removed! Makes you wonder what this guy has been doing in the last couple of yaears behind our backs! The voters are not being represented in Boston is right on the money!

• all I needed to hear was "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!" I'm so tired of the beautiful people who own state and local political positions lining their pockets by spreading lies, and using the Old Boy networks. My only hope is that all voters get a chance to hear this petty attempt to gain leverage over those who oppose him. What would you find in his closet? We already know that he has been exposed acting in for his own special interests in the past. The voters are not being represented in Boston. No, in reality they're footing the bill for his corrupt political machine. That's all we need is another Boulger!

• Good stuff... who broke this story?

• Glad know you have no intention to run for Mayor because you would be humiliated, Dets. Your cousin Janet is another -DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM - sort of creepy small time politician and you both need to find another line of work. How can anyone believe you did not anonymously call other people in the third and threaten them similarly? We are supposed to think you are a reasonable guy because you did not rat out the church to the state or the feds? You are a disgrace. Nobody likes a tattler.

• This is the guy who has been accused of being a member of that local brain-washing cult, right? I could be wrong...

• What sort of self respecting MAN would act like such a little bitch? That call was at the very least extremely disrespectful to the people who are meeting a need that no other part of our community provides. Any one with any class or breeding of any kind would have at the very least identified himself. His motivation could not be clearer, and I hope this pre-meditated act of intimidation comes back to haunt both the Joker and Representative Asshole-ass. Hopefully someone will get this to Howie Carr and a couple papers up town. Let's see what Mr. A will have to say for himself. Like the infamous golf tournament. Demitrius, you have NO class as someone here tonite pointed out.

• Mr. Atsalis showed his "true colors" like the other spinless cowards like Janet Joakim, Hank Farnham and others. Talk about a bunch of assenine idiots! It is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that these jerks are very scared at the thought of CHANGE! WHY? Simple: Because these IRRESPONSIBLE morons are like many other government idiots. They just think they can KEEP coming to the taxpayers for MORE! And since they all know change is imminent, they are having trouble facing this. No offense Demitrius but YOU are one PHONY coward. Here this guy is a STATE REP and he tried to HIDE his identity! Demitrius, I hope this causes you many problems in your next run and I hope your opponent takes you to the cleaners, whoever HE OR SHE is! Pretty sad when state reps have to HIDE like cowards. And he is one!

• correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the GREEK CHURCH in Centerville post political signs? can the do this b/c it's a voting place? how did the Greek church become a voting place? shouldn't the town stay away from using churches as voting places?

• Wow. It is completely -i n a p p r o p r i a t e - for a state rep to call up a soup kitchen and dictate that they examine their mission. Ironically the kitchen at the church is called the Nutrition Mission. They roll up their sleeves and cook for truly needy people. I am sure this Assholas guy has never felt a hunger pain in his life. Bet he does not know that a homeless person would not recognize the difference between a putter and a nine iron, and could not care less whose signs are in the yard of the place that keeps them from starving. This little stunt, obviously some sort of favor to Joakim, will backfire on these hateful jerks. I will be voting for all of those people whose signs were removed. If bullies like Joakim and her cousin are against them, then I am all for them!
