Bernie O'Hare and his perpetually “number two” ranked blog “Lehigh Valley Ramblings” was dropped an eyebrow-raising two ranking positions to 4th place among Pennsylvania's Most Influential Political blogs last week.
And in a startlingly loud & clear voice, local blog readers catapulted this blog, “Lehigh Valley Somebody,” from 20th place, to #12 place, a dramatic skyrocketing of 8 ranking positions.
Looks like “Boycott Bernie” is working.
And the reason why “Boycott Bernie” is working may be best summed up in a comment at our recent “Separated at Birth” post on the topic of the shameful “Troll Parade” (http://trollparade.blogspot.com/) blog that was co-created by disbarred attorney Bernie O'Hare and practicing (for now) attorney David C. Najarian, Lynn Township Supervisor, a.k.a. “Northern Lehigh Valley Logic,” to humiliate and (hopefully) scare away a grieving father fighting for justice:
my name is pat wallace said...Mr. O'Hare's flip-flop on the Villa matter is a slap in the face to his readers, his profession, and the memory of a 25-year-old woman who just wanted to go home. After fancying himself a keeper of the torch of truth and integrity for so long, and to the extent that he eventually found himself championing the Villas' cause, this reversal in thinking and aggressive behavior is a profound obscenity. Not to mention that his apparent hop into bed with the DA-friendly Morning Call looks like a confederacy of weaklings. Anybody home, Allentown? Feel like moving even farther away.

Thank you for Boycotting Bernie O'Hare O'Mcall's “other” blog, “Lehigh Valley Ramblings.”
“Boycotting Bernie” is the most effective way you can register your disapproval of “The Troll Parade” blog and Bernie O'Hare.

so when Bernie and ajc construct fake dialogues using "anonymous" (to make it look like the boycott isn't working) maybe those "hits" don't count at blogger because blogger knows they're all or mostly coming from the same computers?
Excellent question that deserves to be answered, anon 1:48pm.
Angie and I don't know much about BlogNet. Unlike LV Ramblings, we don't prominently display our BlogNet ranking # at our blog like Mr. O'Hare O'Mcall does every week at his blog. On the one hand, O'Hare has written posts about the lack of credibility of BlogNet; he has also written posts on "how to game" the rankings at BNN; and yet, he still proudly features his current week's BNN ranking in a dedicated icon on his blog every week. Talk about having your cake, eating it too, selling some of it as BS, and smushing some of it in BNN's face. That's Bernie O'Hare O'Mcall, extremely versatile.
But to answer your question, I can only guess that, yes, you're probably on to something in explaining Bernie's dumping down from #2 to #4 at BNN last week.
While I'd like to publicly support you Villas, I am afraid of Bernie's revenge plus I have an agenda that I enjoy promoting on Bernie's "stage." Now if Bernie's audience keeps evaporating, well, that's a different kettle of fish!
I hope you understand that I'm, well, selfish, and I don't care about justice unless the injustice is done to me and I believe most people are like this so I don't feel too bad about it.
How did attorney (for now, I love this!) Najarian's blog get in the blogger top 20? "Northern Lehigh Logic." Number 17. It had one lame-o post last week with 0 comments. I think the boycott of this blog started about a year ago!!!
While this whole episode is just so outrageous (talk about adding insult to injury), we really appreciated the recent oasis of good vibrations over our 2 new songs (see next entry: "Sound Matters")
Anon 2:21, your honesty is simultaneously refreshing and annoying.
Anon 2:59, "gaming."
i predict neocon bo'h will bring back sarah palin tomorrow to help his nose-diveing ratings....:)
Nah, it will be someone on Northampton County, to appeal to his base of yes men
That bastian of balanced thinking Scott Armstrong thinks you two have "gone off the deep end" ;)
See LV Ramblings today. Congrats on making the "big show," no "Troll Parade" cave for Bernie to hide in there....
It should be noted that Scott Armstrong suffered a humiliating and hilarious debate defeat here a while back. Something about Lynn Swann for Governor. Scott ended up calling me "stupid" and running away. I imagine Scott would cheer on Bernie O'Hare's bullying of Angie and me even if all of our kids got killed.
"See LV Ramblings today." -anon 7:10
Ironic how Bernie O'Hare O'Mcall snaps to Pavlovian attention when he's being suppressed. Poor baby.
That's how this blog war started: Bernie O'Hare O'Mcall suppressing, muzzling, and quashing my democratically healthy dissent on August 1 and August 8 when Morning Call VP Glenn Kranzley was visiting Bernie's blog "looking for feedback."
August 1
http://lehighvalleyramblings.blogspot.com/2008/08/morning-call-editor-glenn-kranzley.html
August 8
http://lehighvalleyramblings.blogspot.com/2008/08/what-will-replace-newspapers-dont-count.html
Mr. Kranzley got some feedback from me in the form of two (2) very reasonable questions that Bernie (and Kranzley) ignored completely.
Bernie then commenced "shouting me down" and started attributing lunatic rant anonymous comments to me (that he was probably writing) in an effort to 'marginalize' me.
Eventually, Bernie started deleting my comments and lying to his readers about the reasons for the deletions ("personal attacks").
Knowing that anything I posted at Bernie's blog would be deleted by him and explained away with whatever outlandish misdirection Bernie chose, I stopped commenting at Bernie's blog.
Coupla weeks later, in an obvious provocation to suck me back in, Bernie started attributing vile anonymous comments to me again. It worked. I jumped back in there to defend myself and to start trying to expose Bernie O'Hare and his duplicitous and deceptive tactics.
Since then, Bernie has been trying to quash my democratically healthy dissent against him.
Hence this new and shameful "Troll Parade" blog of Bernie's ...
... which is not about issues, or debate, but rather is all about trying to intimidate me into shutting up about Bernie O'Hare, and The Morning Call and DA Jim Martin-- 2 areas where Bernie was one of my "biggest supporters," before doing a complete 180 recently after becoming a Morning Call "Blogger Tuesday" consultant to Morning Call VP Glenn Kranzley.
BOH seems to be alienating everyone. Pretty soon all that will be left will be his faithful liege AJ and the nutty Scott Armstrong.
The funniest post by the guy NOT pictured on his blog is calling this one "artsy-fartsy" aimed at "foo foos," Is this joker 12 years old? He goes around kissing the ass of every gentleman farmer local yokel politician and has disdain for anyone not like him. What is really pathetic is how he apparently was friendly with the "foo foos" but in true BOH fashion showed the other side of his face. Does BOH still have addiction issues? This is a clear sign of a problem.
I boycotted BOHs blog before I even learned of this new war. This just further convinces me that the man is toxic. How he can be so hateful to this family is beyond me. He must lead a sad and miserable existence.
Beefheart,
Don't forget former "friend" and ex Chen arts member Mike Molovinsky, who has stayed by the hateful BOH's side all through this.
Last week, after enjoying a many-week run in the BNN Top 20, Allentown Mayoral Hopeful Mike Molovinsky's blog, "Molovinsky on Allentown," disappeared out of the top 20 and headed for oblivion. Poof.
http://www.blognetnews.com/pennsylvania/influence-index.php
The people have spoken here too. Loudly & Clearly.
Mike's a rat.
Mike Molovinsky has "issues" with Ed Pawlowski, who beat Mike in an election for mayor. Mike can't be avoided seen "grinding his axe" against Pawloski at every local blog every day all day. But Bill Villa is blocked from criticising district attorney Martin and The Morning Call who Villa has "legitimate issues" with. A double standard here? I think yes and Villa's being blocked is only recently and happened right around the same time Lehigh Valley Ramblings, Northern Lehigh Logic, and Molovinsky in Allentown blogs became members of the "Blogger Tuesday" klan at The Morning Call. Connecting the dots, pretty obvious The Morning Call either sicced their new blogasphere attacked dogs on Villa or the dogs volunteered to get Villa to curry more favor with Kranzley and Martin. Otherwise why would grown men behave this way? It's always about power and access to power.
Beefheart,
Don't forget former "friend" and ex Chen arts member Mike Molovinsky, who has stayed by the hateful BOH's side all through this.
How could Molovinsky be a former Chen arts member when he calls anyone not like him a "yuppie?" Please tell me O'Hare never mingled with the "arty-fartsy foo-foos." (I'm rolling my eyes.)
Hi Beefheart,
strange but true, yes, both Bernie O'Hare and Mike Molovinsky were enthusiastic supporters, and members, of the Chen Arts Group, prior to flip-flopping recently and mocking Chen's members ... in much the same fashion how they've morphed from being supporters of Bill's to publicly denigrating him.
Sadly, both Bernie and Molovinsky have destroyed whatever credibility they had in our local blogosphere and have completely marginalized themselves. Najarian too.
No. BOH mingled. What the hell he was doing there none of us know. He's no artist, unless you count con artist.
Bernie O'Hare attended several Chen Arts Group meetings (Molovinsky attended all of them until recently) and was on the Chen mailing list, so we considered them both as members in good standing.
Our decision to have our first meeting at the House of Chen restaurant in downtown Allentown (and adopt the name "Chen Arts Group") sprang from Molovinsky's and Bernie's advocacy of downtown merchants, like Jenny Chen, who were affected by the diverted LANTA bus routes.
I wonder if Bernie and Molovinsky will flip-flop and start hating and mocking Jenny Chen now too?
"BOH ... He's no artist, unless you count con artist." -Anon 11:42
Well said.
I wonder if Bernie and Molovinsky will flip-flop and start hating and mocking Jenny Chen now too?
Does Jenny Chen wear a hat? That's always good for some ridicule. Is she a "foo-foo?"
Only in Bernie O'Hare's twisted world of deceit and deception could the scales of justice tip in Bernie's favor,
when "muzzling villa's MC dissent in classic Joe McCarthy fashion and then launching a blog to mock villa's quest for justice" is on one side of the scale ...
and "villa called dave najarian a pussy" is on the other side of the scale.
Yep, Bernie's totally innocent of all charges and Villa's guilty, lock him up Mr. Martin.
Am I the only one who notices that any time someone mildly disagrees with BOH at his blog or states an opposing viewpoint, within minutes, The Banker, or Oh for Pete's sake, or not so casual observer, pops in to defend Bernie. It's very curious, the timing of their entrances. Could any or all these helpful people be Bernie?
The "Molovinsky in Allentown" blog boycott sure is working. It's like a ghost town over there. Tumbleweeds, baby.
I believe "Consigliere" is another of Bernie's many commenter aliases ...

BOYCOTT BERNIE
Readers, thank you for your continued and sustained BOYCOTT BERNIE support.
Together, we can rid our local blogosphere of this bully troll.
Let me get this straight. O'Hare is a disbarred attorney who posts anonymously on his own blog, did a 180 on his position regarding Mr. Villa and then created another blog
to try and trash the guy and his family? Count me in on the Bernie boycott. Seems like a no brainer.
"Seems like a no brainer." -JR Superstar
Yes, both the BOYCOTT and BERNIE are no brainers. Thanks for BOYCOTTING BERNIE, JR.
"Lehigh Valley Ramblings" is deserted.
BOYCOTT BERNIE is working.
Thank you.
"Lehigh Valley Ramblings" is deserted.
save for the occassional pol opportuist like dean browning i see its all anonymous and Bernie aliases and muothpieces over there
wow, BOYCOTT BERNIE is working really good....
Bill and Angie, "Boycott Bernie" is really getting some permanent traction! Topic after desperation topic, it's all "anonymous" (Bernie, Zzzzzzzzzzzz) and only a few of his usual NeoCon stalwarts over there. Kudos! Looking forward to watching (with you two) Barack kicking McLame's rear tonite! Country First!
To Whom It May Concern:
Specifically, I require a public apology from Bernie O'Hare and attorney Dave Najarian for the following outrages perpetrated on me and my family by them:
[ ] The deceitful and abuse of power means Bernie O'Hare used in dispatching me from his blog on August 1 and August 8, when Morning Call VP Glenn Kranzley was "visiting" for feedback. These included shouting me down, publicly attributing anonymous comments to me, and deleting my comments and telling readers the comments were "threatening personal attacks."
[ ] Attributing a vile anonymous comment to me, after I was gone from his blog for 2 weeks (see: LV Ramblings post "Bennett Defends POM Salary"), in an effort to suck me back in for more jerking around for Bernie's amusement.
[ ] Dragging my wife and young son into it in his vile commenting.
[ ] Disabling/Moderating the comments so Angie and I could not defend ourselves against Bernie's onslaught of deceit.
[ ] Allowing attorney Dave Najarian past the "closed thread" to taunt and sucker punch us.
[ ] Co-creating, with attorney Dave Najarian, a blog site designed specifically to make a fuck out of a grieving father seeking justice.
These "punishments," handed down by Bernie O'Hare and attorney Dave Najarian, are so out of balance whack with any infractions I committed, and for which I have already apologized, it's criminal, and my gut tells me I can get law enforcement to agree with me on this.
In the meantime, I will keep a floodlight on Bernie O'Hare's outrageous and aggressive behavior towards me and my family until he either ...
* publicly apologizes
or
* LV Ramblings goes POOF
My God, O'Hare and Molovinsky are evil people. And they continue to accuse me of things I have not done. What they have done to us at the Troll Parade and now at their other blogs goes way beyond mere personal insults.It's sadistic and cruel. They provoke, and then when you defend yourself they use that to make it look like YOU are the bad guy or the crazy one. They lie and twist. They need to be stopped.
By the way, evil sadists, I have stopped reading all of it. Stop accusing me, just go back to your sad and sorry existence. Twist away! Bernie O'Hare is a liar and a phony and a bully. People need to know the truth.
CHARGE!
