Molovinsky Gets No Respect

This is a district? 
Michael Molovinsky, who is running as an Independent in the 183rd state house race, was going to have a Meet-and-Greet at The American Legion in Slatington tonight. He rented the place and made arrangements for whatever refreshments would be served. But the day before the event, he received an apologetic call from The Legion, telling him to find another place. Part of the reason might be based on a Legion misunderstanding of the rules that apply to nonprofits. But it's also politics. The Molovinsky camp was told that State Rep. Julie Harhart would be unhappy to learn he had an event there.

This is the kind of thing that happens to an Independent.

  1. or maybe it was the fact that his Facebook invite had only 2 people responding yes, 1 maybe. Does he think he even think he has real chance? Most people who are contrarians like himself receive little following.

  2. It was the blog mentor, always stymieing the WPA savior.

  3. Not sure that non profit halls are allowed or should be hosting political rallies even if the host is picking up the tab.

  4. I see the district map is a gerrymandered drawing from a 9th grade special ed student.

  5. Respect is a two way street, if you want it, you have to give it. Molovinsky has never been one to display respect for others.

  6. That's nonsense, delivered disrespectfully, by a person who won't identify himself.

  7. 6:08, it is permissible to rent the hall for a political event.

  8. Yeah isn't it that they just can't take a side outspokenly, but renting is different matter

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
