“there may be a correlation that’s worth exploring.”

The correlation that needs exploring is the number of people in the media that have destroyed their lives through substance abuse. I hope Mr. Williams the very best in his comeback.

Moe likely these idiots in the media are giving him just enough rope to hang himself with.

Man, he has a great voice and he looks like he feels at home doing this stuff.

he also read the 18th amendment on rachel maddow last night.
why did the repubs skip that one? did that also get stuck between two pages or did they think it would offend alcoholics?

Because it was another stupid ,shortsighted, “feel good” fraud perpetrated by libs in 1920.

In response to a slightly shorter version of the same clip on another site, I noted that perhaps because YouTube has been getting credit for saving this fellow’s career and obviously as a means to protect their content and brand, the Columbus “Dispatch” has had the original bootlegged version of their copyrighted material pulled from the video sharing site.

Of course, the original, branded version which comes in an embeddable player is still available on the Dispatch’s site and I’m under the impression that other pirated copies have been uploaded to YouTube, so it’s not like his “Starsearch” discovery is going away, it’s simply being reclaimed by it’s owner.

After all, as Alex noted in what appears to be this site’s first post about Mr. Williams, it was “Dispatch” videographer Doral Chenoweth who actually discovered the man. As they reported in a follow-up story about the viral sensation, he first noticed the homeless man’s sign on the way to the grocery store and at some point returned to film a report for his employer, as part of his job, but an anonymous user on YouTube has been the one getting most of the credit.

The Ted William’s windfall, has all the earmarks of a lad named Jesus. Everyone in media, want to be a part of his metamorphosis from crackhead to deity. Would be disciples, from every media rat hole in the country, are flocking to the newest messiah. Who will be the first, to sell him out for some worthless federal reserve notes?
Thirty slivers to be exact. Who will decree his crucifixion? Drive the nails into his withering flesh?

And the masses, in their blind ignorance, and lust for blood (as long as it isn’t their own), will revel with every cry of agony from this hapless man, who wandered into a wilderness of social hyenas. And few, if any (besides his aging mother and the paparazzi vultures), will be at the footstool of his demise…wondering what happened to the golden vocalist. Business as usual, in America.

This is just a liberal media creation because they are incapable of dealing with serious news. For example, they report that the unemployment rate is bad, but they won’t go any deeper. Same with the healthcare mess and the list goes on and on and on and on and….

We have some very serious problems and what we get is something to take our minds off the pain created by the massive liberalism that pervades our culture these days.

Does anyone really think that the media won’t just drop this guy at some point because the next scam is more exciting to them?

Good voice . Good luck Ted !

What exactly is it about this story the bugs you people? Baffles the mind.

Fact: I don’t think the guy is going to make it to far past his 15 minutes!

The lamestream socialists have ANOTHER black to idolize.

I’m so happy for them.

doing your part to fulfill the stereotype.

I couldnt disagree more. What your missing is that this guy changed his life on his own- by getting off drugs and wanting to work. This would have never happened had HE HIMSELF not chose to change his life.

Its a wonderful story, and illustrates the greatness of this country.

We reward excellence, and this guy’s voice is that and then some. That is 100% tea party.

Now that Ted Williams is rich, (or soon to be) the democrats cant wait to tax him. PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE YOU GREEDY BASTARD!

now wait. the unemployment rate was 4 percent when bush entered office and you guys had control of the wh, the senate and the house…and what does he hand off to obama? under bush, we were loosing 800,000 jobs a month! have you seen the jobs report for dec.?
you can’t blame liberals for this…look, i don’t know how you greedy bastards were able to convince clinton that repealing glass steagall was a good idea.
that is what conservatives are only interested in…less regulations so they can get more money. show somebody getting a break because of actual talent and not because their daddy gave it to them and you heartless bastards will shit all over them.

Bush wasn’t the cause, but Bush’s liberalism, the liberal Congress and the general liberalism that has engulfed key parts of our society.

As we can see, Obama’s polices are keeping the recovery down. Here is a chart showing when Reagan was President and he worked to help the economy and Obama’s recovery where he’s working to force everything to be “equal” (Socialism): http://sbvor.blogspot.com/2010/12/reagan-recovery-vs-obama-recovery.html

Bush was too liberal and add in the liberal Congress and it’s a mess. We’re faced with Detroit on the scale of the whole country.

One more thing about the jobs: the job losses accelerated once it became clear that Obama would get in office. Everyone is afraid of the future under Obama because everyone should be afraid. Socialism is terrible.
I’m hoping the new Congress can reverse some of Obama’s laws and that we can go back to our Founding ways – NOT the way it was under Bush (or Clinton or Bush I).

“Has anyone noticed that since Mr. Williams discovery on a street corner in Columbus, Ohio, birds and fish have started dying off? Not saying that there is a cause and effect here, but there may be a correlation that’s worth exploring.”

Why couldn’t you write this article without adding idiotic comments? The man has been trying to turn his life around after years of drug use and booze. He’s been clean for 2 yrs, a feat not many addicts will ever accomplish.. He’s now been given a chance to move forward thanks to people who care. Why not focus on that only? You know, write something positive, as in wishing him well in the future. Linking dying birds & this man discovery in the same article, even in jest, makes you look like a fool.
