Allentown City Council VP Mike Donovan Should Resign or Be Fired

Related Morning Call "newspaper" story  

Readers, in case you missed it in The Morning Call "newspaper" recently, oh so "civil" (wink wink) Allentown City Council vice president Mike Donovan has been "accused" (a.k.a. charged) w/ Criminal Harassment and is also facing a property destruction lawsuit stemming from a surprisingly uncivil rage incident w/ a neighbor. 

According to the neighbor's Criminal Complaint, Cedar Crest College professor Donovan said that "me and Diana" (i.e., Morning Call freelance writer Diana Morse, Donovan's wife) were tired of the neighbor's dog. The neighbor claims that Councilor Donovan rang her doorbell several times last month in a "brutal disturbing way," smashed her front glass door, and repeatedly harassed her and her two children about the family dog-- including storming to her 17 year-old son's place of employment and harassing him there while he was trying to do his job. 

The neighbor's Criminal Complaint also implies that, like a robotic "Stepford Wife" w/ an implant in her brain, Diana Morse enabled her husband's harassing behavior and verbally harassed the neighbor's two children herself as well. 

This is the second time in recent months that seemingly "mellow" (on the outside anyway) Councilor Donovan has been involved with the law. In April, Donovan commanded some teenagers in Bucky Boyle park to stop riding go-carts there or face police wrath so one of the boys punched him in the face. 

Although these two rage incidents are troubling and indicative of an emerging "dark side" to Mike Donovan and his wife, they are merely the last straws that should break the camel's back re: Councilor Donovan, in the always humble opinion of Lehigh Valley Somebody. 

We believe these transgressions are much more troubling ...

Morning Call-Affiliated Hate Bloggers Manipulating Allentown Politics

Readers, for the past year or so, embittered, vendetta-driven 2005 Allentown Mayoral Election loser and South Whitehall Township resident and rabid NeoCon, Mike "3%" (and that's how few votes he got in '05) Molovinsky, has become, incredibly, one of councilor Donovan's "advisors" on matters affecting Allentown. 

Even worse, another of Donovan's insider-access "advisors" is Mayor Pawlowski-Bashing Nazareth PA resident and fellow hate blogger, Bernie O'Hare, co-creator of the shamelessly dishonest, sadistically cruel, and Morning Call-Approved "Troll Parade" blog. 

All three "men" are hand-picked members of Valley Blogosphere, The Morning Call's "newspaper" dissent-quashing and political agenda-framing group assembled by Glenn Kranzley.  


Councilor Donovan: we are judged by the company we keep and you are cavorting w/ and soliciting the counsel of corrosive and divisive out-of-town cretins. And in your spare time, it appears you are smashing the glass front doors of neighbors whose behavior you disagree w/ . 

How uncivil for a City Council VP (for now) to behave.

W-O-W. What a nutty professor.

Emily Post-A-Comment said...

I'm not a nutty (college) professor but wouldn't the correct wordages be "Diana and I" are tired of your dog and not "me and Diana" are tired of your dog (?)

Bill Villa said...

Anons, you are both correct. I'll be back later, have to send a link to this post to everyone in my email address book, and we suggest that all of our registered Allentown voter readers do the same, thanks!

I am shocked at all the "coded" racism in Molovinsky's Campaign Promises/Threats, I can't believe any Democrat (is Donovan really a Democrat?) would associate w/ such a bitter and judgmental person such as Mike Molovinsky.

jdg said...

Suddenly it all makes perfect sense why Michael Donovan never condemns Bernie O'Hare's vicious and repeated attacks on women.

As is there isn't enough Latino bashing at Their Morning Call Forum. This is really shameful.

The City Official said...

Villas, here's Donovan acting as if nothing's amiss while consoling himself in the bosom of the lunatic right wingnut neocons he feels most comfortable w/ , have a look ...

"i believe Donovan's wife's participation in such activities should prohibit her from teaching again in public schools and tax payers should not have to pay the salary of someone {ie, a city councilor} who enables harassment and veiled threats of physical violence against multiple citizens."

Villas, your front door ... wood, or glass?

Bill Villa said...

Cast-iron, like our resolve.

Readers, I'm positive the charges against Mike Donovan are dead-on target and completely justified, and if I may offer a piece of advice to the soon to be ex-councilor: whatever ya do Mike, don't ask for a change of venue to Wind Gap.

i actually hope councilor donovan gets the psychiatric "counselor" help he needs. molovinski too, let it go mike, pawlowski won w/ a 59% popular vote mandate; you got 3% which qualifies you for nothing plus you don't even live in allentown and neither does o'hare/ o'mcall

Readers, our *district court-approved Sitemeter(R) says:

This post has been visited repeatedly (one could say obsessively/compulsively) by Mike Molovinsky, Bernie O'Hare, and Mike Donovan since we launched it.

We're glad we have their attention because "awareness" is the first step towards changing.

Sitemeter(R) says,

welcome Chris Casey (who never reads our blog) at 9:19am. That's Chris's anonymous comment at 9:34am today at our previous post. Like Bernie O'Hare who checked in here at 10:17am, Chris never posts anonymously either (wink wink).

One of Chris Casey's IP #s (when posting anonymously from home) is RCN Allentown, 65.78.112.190 which is the identity he used here this morning. He has others, as do both O'Hare and Molovinsky, so clever, these "guys" ...

It is so gratifying to finally see truth emerge regarding Mike "Smash" Donovan.

Anonymous said...

Bill, when Bernie O'Hare publicly attributed loony anonymous comments to you (that he was probably posting himself) at his blog last August when Glenn Kranzley was visiting LV Ramblings for "feedback" in a deceitfully under-handed effort to discredit you and muzzle you and scare you off his blog, I don't recall O'Hare presenting any proof whatsoever that those comments were coming from you, such as your IP #, for example. I also don't remember anyone (e.g., Michael Donovan, Mike Molovinsky, Chris Casey, etc.) "calling" O'Hare on that incredibly dishonest maneuver ...

Alright, so this is completely OT, but... Happy Birthday Mrs Dottie!

Thanks (whoever you are), we had a very nice day despite the rain.

(Wishing you a Happy Birthday as well, Mrs. D)

The neighbor incident with Donovan could end up being as phony as O'Hare's private "criminal" complaint against Bill was. And like how O'Hare manipulated his buddy D.A. John Morganelli into "approving" those bogus charges to go forward to Magisterial Court (where O'Hare obviously called in a favor for that outcome), Republican D.A. Jim Martin probably hates Liberal Democrat Michael Donovan and may have been laughing out loud as he approved the charges against Donovan, although I imagine Martin was "conflicted" over approving a Spanish person's complaint against a white person. But my point is that I agree completely with you that Donovan's associations with and "endorsings" of Michael Molovinsky and O'Hare are much more reason for concern about Donovan's judgement. These two are complete morons and trouble-makers and (mostly) publicity seekers, and Donovan comes off as an equal moron when he even listens to these two out of town buttinsky's. I hope Mr. Donovan wises up. There's "civil" and there's "stupid."

Bill Villa said...

Anon 9:35 (drum roll) you get the LVS BEST COMMENT OF THE WEEK AWARD (cymbal crash), exquisitely stated.

Bill Villa said...

Anon 11:50, regarding people (other than Angie and me) standing up to Bernie O'Hare, well, looks to us like people are either scared shitless of O'Hare (e.g., Casey, Donovan, Najarian) or they just don't care about devastating personal tragedy and injustice-- until it happens to them.

I'm not gonna run the entire litany of really shitty things B. O'Hare has perpetrated on Sheena's grieving family in the past year ... while everyone stood silently by ... but a few outrageous episodes really do stand out ...

* It's apparent that O'Hare's criminal "harassment" charges against me were totally trumped-up phony and that a manipulated magistrate's "decision" was even phonier. This mockery of justice will be reversed on appeal.

* There's compelling circumstantial evidence that O'Hare tampered with and deleted comments at our blog as our local blogosphere snoozed apathetically.

* O'Hare co-created a special "bully blog" to taunt, bait, and provoke us (then gets us charged us w/ "harassment" when we fight back). This blog allows vile comments that defile our deceased daughter which O'Hare publishes and refuses to delete.

Readers, Sheena's family has highly personal and completely legitimate beefs with Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin and The Morning Call "newspaper," all of which were covered concisely in our recent post and comments on Glenn Kranzley for anyone who's interested.

Sabotaging buttinskys Bernie O'Hare, attorney (for now) David C. Najarian, and Mike Molovinsky have bent over backwards trying to roadblock us in our efforts to expose and de-throne the crooked and incompetent powers that be in our local criminal justice and media systems-- and we've undertaken our "justice mission" not for personal aggrandizement, like everything they do, but for the good of our community, Allentown-- where none of these three cretins live.

There are people who Angie and I believe should not have been standing silently by through all this O'Hare bullshit we've been enduring.

Michael Donovan tops our list of these people,

i.e., people who have actually enabled and empowered O'Hare's ongoing sadistic cruelty towards us, and others, by remaining cordial and in blog-communications with him-- instead of condemning him, and ostracizing him.

You know who you are. And we do too.

We don't need you to accomplish our goals.

One by one, all of our goals are being accomplished, as will be getting even w/ O'Hare down the road.

But you could, and you should, have spoken out in our defense.

So when we are cold to you in public ... or when we confront you ... like we confronted Geoff Brace on Saturday ... we trust you will understand why.

My Take...

w/ this Donovan exposé, The Morning Call "newspaper" is either ...

a) Positioning Donovan as an eventual "White Power" candidate for Mayor of Allentown

b) Whipping up more anti-Latino rage and hatred like they do 24/7 at The Morning Call "Forum"

c) Creating some publicity "buzz" for celebrity scene "writer" Diana Morse and her possible new role at the "newspaper"

d) All of the above

Over & Out...

Steering completely clear of your conflict with O'Hare, I'm really sorry to see you smear Mike Donovan with such unearned vitriol. (The comments, many of them at least, are embarrassing too.) As I think you must know, Mike is a good person, he's truly competent, and he's trying to make our city better. It's just so depressing to see friendly fire like this.

Bill Villa said...

"Steering completely clear of your conflict with
O'Hare ..."

Whoa. Hold it right there, Jeff. We're not gonna allow you, or Michael Donovan, or anyone else to "steer clear" of the sadistically cruel tactics Bernie O'Hare is using on us and others. This is the problem. No one except Angie and me are willing to stand up to this cretin O'Hare and stop him.

I suggest you do some light reading and link-clicking on our blog's right sidebar where we have laid out our grievances in a concisely easy to follow format and report back to me.

In the meantime (and subject to revision, we hope), we'll add your name to our list that's currently topped by Michael Donovan--

i.e., people who are enabling and empowering O'Hare's ongoing sadistic cruelty towards us and others by remaining cordial and in blog-communications with him-- instead of condemning him, and ostracizing him. Something Michael Donovan should have done a long time ago.

btw, Angie and I are good people too and we're also working hard trying to improve Allentown.

Bernie O'Hare lives in Nazareth.

Jeff Pooley said...

You're right that I don't know nearly enough about your dispute, and that I should research it. I will. Still, the picture you draw of Mike Donovan is completely off--and he doesn't deserve it. That's all I meant to say.

Foo Foo said...

I lost all respect for Michael Donovan right before this past Christmas, when Donovan continued to yuck it up on the blogs w/ O'Hare and Mike Molovinsky after Molovinsky published an O'Hare rant where O'Hare just battered Angie Villa (w/ much "unearned vitriol"), the Chen Arts Group, and Donovan's fellow arts commission member Joe Skrapits. This is exactly when Michael Donovan should have written off (after telling them off) Nazareth-ite O'Hare and So. Whitehall Twp's Molovinsky. There was absolutely no excuse for Donovan's not publicly condemning O'Hare and Molovinsky for that smear job.

Bill Villa said...

Thanks "Foo Foo" for the perfectly pertinent point.

-----------------

"You're right that I don't know nearly enough about your dispute, and that I should research it. I will."

Thank you, Jeff. We sincerely appreciate that.

"Still, the picture you draw of Mike Donovan is completely off--and he doesn't deserve it. That's all I meant to say."

Your perception is duly noted and you may be right, time will tell, for Angie and me. We look forward to conversing w/ you more, have a nice night.

Angie Villa said...

I have a suggestion for all the girly "men" (and women) out there not man enough to stand up to sadistic bully Bernie O'Hare:

GROW A SET.

Preferably big brass ones like my husband Bill sports.

Bill Villa said...

Thanks honeykins, well stated as always.

Readers:

Our thanks, again, to Jeff Pooley, for publicly expressing a willingness to "research" our dispute w/ Bernie O'Hare, DA Jim Martin, and The Morning Call, by reading our blog's right sidebar content.

Noteworthily, this willingness to research our dispute has become "contagious," as is evident via our blog's SiteMeter(R).

That is, Jeff, you may be encouraged to know (I know we are) that so far today there have been numerous dozens of visitors to this blog who have spent in excess of 30 minutes reading our blog's right sidebar content (we can tell by where they "exit click").

Thank you, again.

One person can make a difference.
