Giving "Credibility" to Snakes


Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) is a disgraced ex-member of Congress. In 2005, a Texas Grand Jury indicted DeLay on criminal charges that he conspired to violate campaign finance laws. Republican Conference Rules forced him to resign temporarily as House Majority Leader.

In Jan 2006, he announced he would not return to his position, but in March 2006 he ran and won the Republican primary election, but in April 2006 he withdrew from the race and resigned his seat in Congress. DeLay is currently facing charges of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money. He has connections to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Two of his former aides were convicted in the Abramoff scandal. You may remember DeLay as being outspoken and w/ out shame in the Terri Schiavo case. He has adopted Rush Limbaugh's stance of wanting President Obama to fail and has called Obama a "Marxist."

Q. Why would Chris Matthews have Tom DeLay on Hardball or give any credibility to DeLay? He didn't challenge DeLay much, and let him rattle on. Do you think Matthews did this to make the R's look like fools? Have the whacky extremists become the mainstream in the Republican Party?

Yes. And, Yes.

Latest Rolling Stone mag has interesting article about R's called "The Class Clowns" How about that nutty Michele Bachmann?

The "fiscal conservatives" have lost their credibility over the last eight years, so why aren't they trying to regain it now, rather than just hurling spitballs at Obama, and being obstructionists.
What's their budget plan? Get rid of all taxes? Get rid of all govt.
Secession?

Missed Rolling Stone, but the latest Vanity Fair has an article that questions why TV programs still drag out the same old political talking heads (Sam Donaldson, George Will, Cokie Roberts) and the same old Right-wing commentators (The upper classmen clowns) like Rove, Dick Morris, Pat Buchanan.
They need to realize the times they are a changin.
Another article in the same issue about Rush Limbaugh points out that the average age of Talk Radio (you know who) is 67, and Fox News, mid-60s. The GOP power base is "stroking out", someone is quoted.

Indeed, and we all need to get more familiar w/ him and his venomous tactics.

Thank you anon 10:46 for pointing out O'Hare's slithering-sadism-spin-in-progress ...

I did notice that and I also noticed that when a commenter asked O'hare for his "proof" that all the dissenting comments were from "the villas," he didn't offer any.

FYI, O'Hare's "oh trust me, it's them" strategy won't fly in front of a judge, btw.

Angie Villa said...

Anon 9:38, I'll have to check out Vanilty Fair. I find Rachel Maddow to be a breath of fresh air.

Bill Villa said...

Readers, slithering his nose into areas where he has no legitimate reason for being there and purposefully and sadistically inflicting more pain upon suffering crime victims seems to be an area of special interest for Bernie O'Hare.

Currently, he is needlessly and giddily applying more pain and degradation to three brutally abused women.

In the past, O'Hare has gleefully Defended My Daughter Sheena's Killer and w/ a straight face, albeit a two-face, advocated for his new employer, for the sole purpose of "making it hurt, real bad."

Ladies and Gentlemen, Bernie O'Hare is a truly evil "man."

Wake the fuck up and join us in stopping him.

"I have been blogging a few years and have developed sources." -Bernie O'Hare O'Mcall

Villas you don't understand (wink wink). You see, poor little "powerless" District Attorneys like John Morganelli and Jim Martin need an "advocate" too. They spoon-feed O'Hare the info ... and O'Hare spins things in their favor. And nobody gets hurt (except the already hurting crime victim). Oopsie.

McJudas said...

(almost forgot, but it goes w/ out saying)

The Morning Call works it exactly the same way.

(staying on topic) "Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) is a disgraced ex-member of Congress."

Bernie O'Hare (R-NZ) is a disgraced ex-lawyer who is barred from practicing law because of his LYING. That's L-Y-I-N-G. Giving him any credibility at all puts us all at risk.

Readers, here's an example of the ongoing sadistic cruelty of Bernie O'Hare.

The comment below was originally published by O'Hare at his "Troll Parade" blog on 9/29/08.

Sheena's family has requested repeatedly that this wildly inaccurate and sadistically cruel comment be removed from O'Hare's "Troll Parade" blog.

O'Hare refuses to remove it.

As two commenters at a previous LVS post noted:

* "Wow. Even The Morning Call/Topix removes offsensive comments from its Forum when someone from the general public complains. And yet O'Hare refuses Sheena's family's (!) request to remove that awful comment about Sheena?" Anonymous, Fri Apr 10, 09:29:00 AM 2009

* "What possible rationale justifies leaving that disgusting comment up there? "Free Speech?" "Rebecca's Pocket" blog "ethics?" Please. This is sadistic cruelty, pure and simple, and criminal harassment. That comment serves no legitimate purpose and remains up there only to punish and provoke and intimidate."

villa daughter was a mess and he can't come to grips with his awful parenting. his bitterness is a reflection of his disgust with the mess of a daughter he created and now wishes to blame on the rest of the world because he and his wife failed to properly do their jobs. they are two of legions of irresponsible parents who are, sadly, forced to live with their own incompetence. i've had enough of their blaming everybody but themselves. no guts. lots of blame. they are poster nuts for why society is going down the toilet: parents who unleash disaterous consequences on the society. in this case, karma bit them hard and they must look in the mirror someday and properly assess blame on themselves. until then, the pathetic charade continues. i don't particularly like or agree with bernie o'hare. i rip him regularly for his views (and sometimes the tone with which they're expressed). at least bernie has the guts to own his shortcomings, the villas will never and will die bitter failures who were made to pay for their mistakes while living. it's a shitty life, but it's the one they so richly deserve.

It is astonishing that The Morning Call provides a link at its website to Bernie O'Hare's hate-filled "Troll Parade" blog via LV Ramblings.

Also up there at The Morning Call-affiliated Troll Parade Blog:

Bernie O'Hare's and attorney (for now) Dave Najarian's public, written plottings, and threats to sabatoge Sheena Villa's wrongful death litigation.

Bill Villa said...

Readers, FYI, the "Troll Parade" blog was, incredibly, originally created by Attorney (for now) David C. Najarian, Lynn Township Supervisor.

He called it Bills and Trolls."

Its (futile) purpose was to intimidate and muzzle me so I would shut up about DA Jim Martin and The Morning Call. In this regard, it has been a dismal and total failure.

Soon realizing his legal jeopardy, or, more likely, after having it pointed out to him by a more competent lawyer, Najarian deleted his "Bills and Trolls" blog within a week. But Bernie O'Hare took attorney (for now) Najarian's original content and installed it at his new & improved "Troll Parade" blog w/ Najarian's liability intact.

Currently, The Morning Call "newspaper" links to "The Troll Parade" blog and that comment about my deceased daughter Sheena that O'Hare refuses to delete ...

and O'Hare's and Najarian's public, written plottings, and threats to sabatoge my daughter Sheena's wrongful death litigation.

This is sadistic cruelty that serves no purpose other than the self-pleasuring of its perpetrators.

McJudas said...

"The Morning Call works it exactly the same way."

Bill Villa said...

Yeah. I saw that. Incredible.

And how about Veronica Rohrer ... The Morning Call and DA Jim Martin have very likely ruined this innocent woman's life but I suppose we all need to take Paul Carpenter's advice and just "Get Over It."

Of course our local "Watch Dog" (wink wink) bloggers don't have to get over this one since they've been ignoring it ever since we exposed it exclusively here at LVS. Nice little Morning Call lap doggies ...

Angie Villa said...

Readers, we're very pleased to have attorney (for now) David C. Najarian, Lynn Township Supervisor, back in the Troll Parade blog's "co-pilot" cockpit w/ B. O'Hare where he belongs.

Najarian thought he could originate the Troll blog ... and ... introduce the concept of sabotaging Sheena's wrongful death litigation to O'Hare ... in publicly written plottings at his Troll blog ... and then just slither away.

We don't think so, Dave ...

Sunday Bloody Sunday!! (not a threat) VILLAS, this has got to be your #1 BEST blog column post ever!

Bill Villa said...

Merci.

Molivinsky only defends O'Hare when HIS skin is involved. If not, he lets O'Hare hang out there to dry.

That's the kind of "friend" Mike is ...

Great post.

VILLAS! What's truly "ingenious" is how you've laid out your entire case on your blog's sidebar! Clicking on the links under your photos of Kranzley and Najarian is an absolutely amazing journey! Concise and very revealing. Brilliant. #1.

Bill Villa said...

Thank you anon 1:23 and it should be noted that this "Cabal Of Evil" is so overmatched, dealing w/ me, that I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

Incredible how all these folks have hitched their wagons to a sadistic liar, Bernie O'Hare. Not that there isn't precedent for this sort of thing ...

Angie Villa said...

Touché.

Hayshaken said...

At his peak, Limbaugh had around 13 million weekly listeners (way fewer now and dwindling fast).

O'Hare has around 13.

Which one is O'hare, amd which one is Delay?
They are both two faced snakes

I don't normally read that piece of sh*t blog O'Hare compulsively "publishes" around the clock. But this blog's link to his blog twisting and taunting and torturing already abused women got me there and I've been checking back. 100+ comments on a blog about stolen campaign signs? On a Monday? Yeah that's real believable especially when all the comments are by "anonymous" (wink wink) and are spaced 2 minutes apart. One busy beaver. But the best part is how you Villas are emboldening and empowering people to PUSH BACK against O'Hater. Today he's slamming Pawlowski and Ann McHale and lots of people are head butting him. Gotta love it. Keep up the great work Villas!

Bill Villa said...

Thanks very much for noticing our noble and courageous and remarkable efforts, anon 8:07, thanks too for the LVR devolving "progress" report :)

KattyD said...

Regarding the MELTDOWN happening at LVR right now, I was surprised to see O'Hare bitch slap that thoughtful young man Bryan ... although it was only a matter of time until Bryan encountered the "real" O'Hare.

Bill Villa said...

Like how Boss Limbaugh is experiencing a "death rattle" in his ratings, so too is Boss O'Hare plummeting from favor and being replaced by Lehigh Valley Somebody.

READ IT AND WEEP, O'HARE

This BlogNet News (BNN) measure tracks each blog over the last twelve weeks in a rolling average, producing a more stable measure of influence that reflects a blogs longer-term impact on the blogospheric conversation rather than the "Official" single week results which can be influenced by a few really good or really controversial posts.

Villas Break O'Hare's Jaw in Nine Different Places (figuratively speaking, of course)

Sadly, it's all over for O'Hare.

All that remains is the messy clean-up that starts in court on May 19.
