The Martin Chronicles has written about this topic before. We're going to write about this topic again. Why? Because it is extremely important.
The topic is the US Constitutionally-guaranteed First Amendment right of free speech. That guaranteed right is under shameless attack by supporters of Villa Hills malfeasant Mayor Mike Martin. Their incessant attacks on that guaranteed right is both vile and disgusting.
Again, we don't mind a bit when these pinheads criticize us. In fact, it energizes us to work even harder uncovering the incompetence and corruption of Martin and his minions. We sure hope these mindless morons keep it up through November 4.
But reasonable people should find it intolerable when nasty nitwits say or post that critics of the misdirecting Martin are simply people who lost an election. Aside from the absolute fact that the calumnious claim is completely untrue (and we are living proof of that), it is also a hypocritical and heinous assault on the Free Speech rights of those who did lose an election.
Why "hypocritical", you ask? Just look at what the mendacious Martin himself did. Mostly because Martin's judicially-justified 2007 FORGERY ARREST was fresh in the minds of voters, he was defeated in his bid for re-election to City Council in November, 2008.
What did the malevolent Martin do next? The little liar spent most of the next two years constructing a fantastic fairy tale that he was some kind of "good government zealot" who was "set up" by dark forces (we will call those non-existent dark forces "the good old boys") hell-bent on derailing his efforts. This despite the proven fact that Martin absolutely did COMMIT FORGERY when he signed his deceased mother's name on checks incorrectly mailed to his deceased mother, cashed them and pocketed the proceeds for years.
Smarting from the embarrassment of the very real (and widespread) scandal of hundreds of thousands of dollars embezzled from the Villa Hills Civic Club, the ass clowns who regularly waste their evenings at the civic club bar lapped up Martin's lies and spread those lies at every opportunity. Back then, those inebriated ne'er-do-wells actually had some level of credibility. Go figure.
But the miscreant Martin didn't stop there. Martin routinely pimped the high-strung, former City Councilmember Mike Pope (January, 2009-December, 2012) with tall tales of government waste, fraud and abuse. Why? Because the pernicious punk knew full well that Pope is an easy touch with his own axes to grind. So, Pope would come to council meetings intent on spreading Martin's mendacity. Pope's "alternative reality" City website was also full of Martin's lies.
As they say in the infomercials, "But wait, there's more". Martin recruited drones who went by pseudonyms like "meto3130", "skittle" and "kentoncounty1" to sit in their dimly-lit basements in their stained underwear with drool running down their cheeks to post all manner of defamation and deceit on dinosaur sites like cincinnati.com. While the efforts were decidedly low-brow-just as Martin himself is-they did have some impact on the inattentive voters of Villa Hills.
So-after his deceitful campaign-Martin was indeed narrowly elected mayor in 2010. What has happened since has brought incredible embarrassment on Villa Hills and its City Government.
Besides, when former elected officials criticize the mallet-headed Martin, they are absolutely right. They had the incredible misfortune to attempt to work with the miniature mullah, after all.
Oh, there is also the fact that they have every guaranteed right to speak out. Despite what Sheila, Wanda, David, Judy Grisly, Les, Adam and other fascists say. These people-and a sizable segment of others-are precisely why Villa Hills City Government is currently in expensive turmoil.
Even still, we hope they keep yapping.
