What you said is that it was "a ...Excuse me? <br /><br />What you said is that it was <em>"a a very likely possibility that some of Mr. Eckhart's supporters started a whisper campaign about my Judaism."</em> Whether or not Glenn is directly involved, he would have to be held accountable. And if his supporters did such a thing, it would most likely be with his approval or acquiescense. <br /><br />Your evidence is that one anonymous comment on my blog, which I subsequently deleted? Give me a break! How the hell do you know that came from a Glenn Eckhart supporter? Couldn't it just as easily be a Kwiatek supporter, attempting to get people to feel sorry for you? Most likely, it was the isolated rant of a self-loathing Jew, having little to do with anything. You may recall that the person who posted that remark did later claim he was Jewish.<br /><br />If this is your evidence of anti-Semitism from the Eckhart camp, you should be ashamed of yourself. This is a very serious accusation, and should never be made lightly because that diminishes the very real cases of anti-Semitism that do exist.<br /><br />How does Eckhart defend himself from such an accusation? It's impossible to prove a negative, but he should not be tarnished by such a serious claim without more substance than what you've provided. <br /><br />I am amazed that you now use anti-Semitism as an excuse for your own defeat.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-2557060235326362482010-01-11T12:03:23.494-05:002010-01-11T12:03:23.494-05:00Bernie,

That person was Emil Giordano. <br /><br />That is class, and is something Morganelli never forgot. <br /><br />Giordano is now a judge. <br /><br />You have now conceded here and are absolved.

Honestly, I did not even think to ask the Cunningham camp for numbers. They had no clue who Tom was before he ran, so I had reason to think someone would give out contact numbers. With the vote being so onesided, after my attempt to get his number failed, I moved on, figuring there was no reason to pursue it, with it all over. I am new to this, and until I read your comments, did not realise how "important" it is to concede. My apologies to anyone who was offended and to Mr. Creighton. I wish him the best and hope he does well for the County. THat is my only concern at this time. As far as saying I would have done so if I knew a position would open, I do what is in my heart and what is right, and not to look good for someone or something. Anyone that knows me would tell you that. I dont do things to look good for political posturing. As far as applying, I do not need to add any more stress or ugliness to my household or family at this time.<br />I hope the commissioners choose a candidate that is best suited to replace Mr. Leiner, who was always a classy, respectable, open minded commissioner. <br /><br />Jeanne McNeillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-37967361289032580122010-01-11T10:40:26.399-05:002010-01-11T10:40:26.399-05:00It's a very serious accusation, and a personal...It's a very serious accusation, and a personal one.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-66403823441045040532010-01-11T10:32:01.661-05:002010-01-11T10:32:01.661-05:00Hello Hillary,

My recollection is that you went beyond Eckhart's opposition to Safe Streets and portrayed him as anti-cop. As you hated the ATM comparison, do you think a commissioner who actually increased the size of a police force might be upset by an ad that portrays him as anti-cop? <br /><br />Negative campaigns inform the voters, giving them reasons to vote against your opponents. But the risk is that they cause hard feelings between candidates. <br /><br />As I'm sure you'll recall, I urged you after the race to do the classy thing and concede. I'm sorry you could not rise above the bitterness, and honestly feel that you will now pay a price for that refusal.<br /><br />As far as the suggestion - a "very likely possibility" - that Eckhart attempted to wage an anti-Semitic smear campaign, that's a very serious accusation. I find it next to impossible to believe he would do something that outrageous, and question why you would make such a horrible accusation without supplying any proof that makes you say this is a "very likely possibility."Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-32281951179816466612010-01-11T08:28:56.748-05:002010-01-11T08:28:56.748-05:00Dear Mrs. McNeill,

The suggestions that I saw taxpayers as ATM machines and that I think money grows on trees were completely beyond the pale. <br /><br />Not to mention there is a very likely possibility that some of Mr. Eckhart's supporters started a whisper campaign about my Judaism, which I am not sure had any influence on the outcome of the election but was still completely inappropriate.<br /><br />So, just as soon as my phone rings and Mr. Eckhart has an apology ready for his actions and those of his supporters, I'll be ready with my gracious concession.<br /><br />The one thing I find amusing in all of this is that Mr. Eckhart is so sensitive about my pointing out the truth of his record: that he had a terrible attendance record at the budget hearings his first three years in office (25%!), and that he voted against the Safe Streets Initiative twice, which is simply the truth. Meanwhile, I was expected to just accept the rough and tumble of politics as they said outrageous things about me that were pure conjecture.<br /><br />As for Geoff, I think he's a great guy and would make a very good commissioner. There are a number of people I have heard are interested who would make fine commissioners.Hillary Kwiateknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-31958035659606288662010-01-11T08:14:01.559-05:002010-01-11T08:14:01.559-05:00Jeanne,

It is a very easy matter to obtain Creighton's contact info for election night. He had yours, and Dean Browning did provide Creighton's contact information as well as the contact info for other candidates to the Cunningham camp for dissemination. <br /><br />This failure, both by you and Kwiatek, was noticed, and was intended to be noticed. It made both of you look petty. Of course, at that time, neither of you thought you might be applying for a vacancy/ <br /><br />Your absence at the swearing in is certainly understandable, and you've explained that.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-43259614146515272752010-01-11T07:57:16.312-05:002010-01-11T07:57:16.312-05:00Sorry about the typos.
