THE DIRTY FACTS ON DA JIM MARTIN

[Updated Sept, 2011] Readers, somebody other than LVS has finally stepped up to challenge DA Jim Martin ...

Contribute/Vote:

Ed Koren for Lehigh County District Attorney

TIME FOR CHANGE

Crooked and incompetent Lehigh County DA Jim Martin has not faced a political challenger at the polls since 1999.

Martin, a Republican, ran unopposed in 2003, and again in 2007.

As a "prosecutor," DA Jim Martin is careless, erratic, inconsistent, crooked, wildly dishonest, and incompetent-- he's also a drunk driver's best friend who couldn't care less about the families of DUI homicide victims.

Protecting DA Jim Martin at every crooked turn is The Morning Call "newspaper" and its crony-connected law firm, Gross McGinley, led by "Democrat," and Republican DA Jim Martin fundraiser, Malcolm J. Gross and partner Pat Reilly.

DA Jim Martin is supported politically by former Pennsylvania State Attorney General and current (for now) Governor Tom Corbett.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Finance Committee include Abe Atiyeh, Dexter Baker, Dean Browning, Greg Butz, Judge Edward Cahn, Jack Daddona, Mike Keenan, Jamie Musselman, Joseph Fitzpatrick, Esq., David Jaindl, Mark Lieberman, Doug Pelletier, Wm. Platt, Esq., Charles Snelling, Matthew Sorrentino, Esq., and John Waldron, Esq.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Host Committee include Air Products PAC, Angelo Almonti, Esq., Dr. John Altobelli, State Rep Pat Browne, Lee Butz, Congressman Charlie Dent,The Very Rev. Daniel G. Gambet, Elmer Gates, Malcolm J. Gross, Esq., Rev. Grant E. Harrity,William Heydt, Tony Iannelli, Bob Lovett, Dr. Raymond Singer, A. Renee Smith, Esq., Robert G. Tallman, Esq., Judge Thomas A. Wallitsch, and John Yurconic.

Let's boot DA Jim Martin and Allentown's crooked colluding cronies out of power on election day, November 8, 2011.

Here's why ...

Remembering Barba-Del Campbell

Barba-Del Campbell (left, with Angie Villa) was smart, funny, and an icon of the regional arts scene for a long time. She will be greatly missed by all who enjoyed the unique pleasure of her company.

The Villa family will always treasure the many encouraging postcards and letters Barba-Del sent us over the past several years.

There are some wonderful blog posts flowering out there penned by local artists who knew Barba-Del better than we did, and we invite you to visit them ...

The Hypocrisy of Rick Daugherty, Mike Donovan, and the O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dems

If you're among the thousands of Lehigh County voters who have been following the previous three posts here at LVS, you know that Team Rick Daugherty/Bernie O'Hare recently rejected my offer to help them beat crooked and (hiccup) incompetent Lehigh County DA Jim Martin in the 2011 election.

Because of the Lehigh County Democratic Party's shameful history of apathy, incompetence, and fear of Jim Martin, and its dismal failure to produce a challenger candidate, DA Jim Martin ran unopposed in both the 2007, and the 2003, "elections." And w/ the local Dems obviously not serious about finding a candidate to oppose Martin in 2011, it's looking like an unopposed 3-peat cruise-in-progress for "Jumbo Jimbo" (left), pictured w/ O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dem and Lehigh County Executive (for now) Don Cunning-Ham.

Curiously, the reason given by the local Dems for their ostracizing and muzzling of me is because I "bash Democrats" (e.g., Mike Donovan, pictured above) at this blog ... which I've tried to explain ... to deaf (and dumb) ears. And of course we don't see it as "bashing." Like most people w/ a brain (and a conscience) we see it as a civic-minded "calling out" of those O'Hare-Duped Dunce Democrats who enable and legitimize a "man" (wink wink) who takes great pleasure in emotionally cyber-torturing already suffering, grief-stricken families. And O'Hare hails and spews lies from Northampton County it should be noted, not Lehigh County.

Although The Morning Call "newspaper" has (in the past) briefly glossed over O'Hare's history of sadistic emotional torture, these days the "newspaper" features and favors O'Hare (and Donovan) as part of its "Valley Blogosphere" cooperative of local bloggers, ensuring a closed loop of crony cozy coverage for select shameless local politico publicity whores of both parties.

The three Lehigh County Dems most guilty of the social conscience transgressions of granting O'Hare interviews, access, and public interaction are Allentown City Council members (for now) Mike Donovan and Mike Schlossberg and Lehigh County Executive (just barely) Don Cunning-Ham. We'll continue calling out these O'Hare-Duped Dunce Dems here at LVS.

And get this, on the subject of "bashing" (and this is the hypocrisy part), apparently it's perfectly A-OK by the local Dems for their Allentown City Council Vice President (for now) Mike Donovan to bash me, at his blog. Yep. This is not a problem.

As was pointed out by an LVS commenter this week ...

Note: Michael Donovan's "Inclusion" blog draws its inspiration from another local blog dedicated to harassing the Villas, the Bernie O'Hare/Dave Najarian co-created "Troll Parade" blog. -Wed Mar 03, 07:16:00 PM 2010

And this isn't the first time Mike Donovan has enabled and encouraged a free-for-all bashing of the Villas, check out Donovan's post (and all the comments) entitled, "A Statement."

Readers, as you can see at Donovan's blog, and as I have pointed out to Councilor Donovan in three unrequited emails so far (the last one cc'd to Team Daugherty/O'Hare), there's an anonymous commenter at Donovan's blog attempting to engage Councilor Donovan. This commenter has an excellent question that deserves to be answered by Councilor Donovan.

Mr. Donovan, the comments here [at your blog] that are needlessly disparaging grieving father and political activist Bill Villa ...

is this what you consider a "civil" discussion based on "mutual respect?" -March 4, 2010 9:28 AM

Update: Allentown City Council VP (for now) Michael Donovan hosts, enables, and encourages an all new, 100-comment, libel-loaded Team O'Hare cyber bullying gang-up against The Villas. Sadly, it was yet another losing effort.
