Last night I had some time on my hands and decided to search "Toner" on Advanced Google.
I had to use the bottom box to exclude" Printer, Fax, Cartridge, Ink, Copier" in order not to get items relating to toner ink.
It brought up a little incident I had all but forgotten about.
I had never seen this before.

Toner is axed for writing letters criticizing aid to Israel RICHMOND - There have been car-jackings, plane-highjackings, but now campaign-hijacking? Rumors have turned to rumblings which are turning into open warfare over the orientation of commentator Pat Buchanan. Although The Nationalist Movement takes no part in partisan politics, many pro-majority stalwarts have expressed interest in the man who declared, "I am a Nationalist" when seeking the Republican presidential nod. Controversy erupted when Ken Overstreet, a former Republican nominee for the State Senate from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, asked Buchanan staffer Linda Mullens if it were true that a rabbi had been opening Buchanan meetings, of late. Overstreet ran on a platform opposing aid to Israel and opposing Affirmative Action.
Mullens immediately dropped Overstreet, a long-time Buchanan partisan, from the Buchanan e-mail list and labeled him a "racist and anti-Semite." Buchanan, himself, however, won the New Hampshire Primary on a platform opposing foreign aid and Affirmative Action. The PBS commentator also was branded as "anti-Semitic" by his foes. Overstreet posted his grievance on the Internet, asking partisans to write personal messages to Buchanan opposing the dumping of his most loyal supporters. Immediately, horror stories of other loyalists being axed began to pour in. Edward J. Toner, a retired airline pilot from Brick, New Jersey, related that he had been pressured to resign by Buchanan's sister and campaign manager. "I was Buchanan's delegate for the 3rd Congressional District in 1992. When it came to light that I had written letters to the editor critical of Israel, Buchanan's sister Bey contacted me personally and pleaded with me to resign. I did."
Navy Pilot Holds Out
Buchanan functionaries Larry Pratt and Susan Lamb were pressured to step aside when it was reported that they had attended meetings sponsored by "white" organizations. Overstreet says that the Buchanan organization is being highjacked by the very people who have tried to bring it down. Toner, a Navy pilot during the Vietnam War, added that pro-minority forces tried to have him fired from his job for supporting Buchanan in the first place. "My union, ALPA, stood behind me, but I finally retired after thirty years." Overstreet said he hoped that Buchanan, who expressed praise for George Wallace, would not recant as had the former Alabama Governor.
