“Fact: You had one of the greatest reputations as a petitioner for libertarian causes in the Nation from your efforts from 2004 to 2006.” Bullshit. I had a good reputation, which you claimed was the best, because you wanted a tool in your tool belt, as an agent provacateur. “Back then you could easily get 400 sigs a day, some days near 500.” And I still can, and still do. “You used to smoke my ass.” No, Eric, I unfortunately used to smell your ass, since I have had the displeasure of standing in the same room with you. You really should wash up better. “Same day I’d get 350, you’d get back to the hotel with 475.” –Because you stop to talk with other ranting “dittoheads” and you only carry two boards with you while you work, so anytime a group of more than two willing signers approaches, your dumb ass sits there looking stupid while the first two signers take their time signing.

“It was entirely reasonable for Shane Cory, Sean Haugh, Scott Kohlhaas, Bill Redparth and others to assume that you would deliver similar numbers, and thus you were worth the investment of a flight from Chicago and a week’s hotel room.” First of all, Eric/shitforbrains, you got all the details wrong. Redpath reacted with obvious surprise when I relayed your statements to him. (Because Redpath is intelligent, and uncorrupted. Of course, your dumb ass spelled it “redparth”, so perhaps “redparth” is some fictional creature that lives in Donderoland, along with the Dodo and other flightless birds.) Shane Cory and Sean Haugh don’t count, because they are two people who have been promoted beyong their level of competence (McDonald’s fry cooks), and Kohlhaas is a scam artist and an oldtime buddy of yours.

“Imagine their surprise when you only delivered 90 every two or three days or so.”
This is a simple lie (slander), and Eric knows it. My daily AVERAGE (averages are a difficult concept for Eric Dondero and Shane Cory) was 87 signatures per day. That means that for the 19 days of the drive (not counting the 2 entire days that Shane Cory sat on his ass without giving me the proper petition), I collected 87 signatures per day.

“Jake, what was your total count of signatures from you for WV?” 1,660 signatures collected, turned in, and not paid for.

“Did you even bust 500 in two weeks?”
Yes, I did, Eric “shitforbrains” Dondero.

Eric’s posts on this board indicate that he is a paid “agent provacateur” in the employ of the Republican Party. He is disseminating information that he knows to be false, lying, sowing seeds of doubt, and giving conflicting information to various people.

As always, he takes the occasional correct position, simply to get people to sympathize with him. He is a parasite of the worst variety, and anyone who deals with him in any way other than destructively, regrets it.

Remember that you will be quoted out of context, or flatly have things you never said attributed to you, if you deal with Eric Dondero in any way.

Hearing what Eric has to say on this board almost makes me dislike Shane Cory less, since Shane was obviously played by him. I put the likelihood between slim and none that I would ever work with Shane again, but if he believes anything that Dondero tells him, he has at least a partial excuse for his irrational actions in WV. I have no doubt that Eric Dondero gave him continual poisonous advice during the course of that drive.

Everyone here should sit up and take notice: Eric’s advice in WV to a newbie petition drive coordinator (Shane Cory) caused WV to fail.

Simply by telling Shane that I was likely to get 400 signatures per day, Eric set Shane up to fail. Who knows how much of Shane’s other stupid actions were also “encouraged”/”planted” by Dondero?

Dondero is slime. Poisonous slime. Reliable people who know Eric will verify this.

Eric is temporarily useful to people who have titles but don’t deserve them by any stretch of the imagination (Sean Haugh, Scott Kohlhaas, etc…). I wouldn’t doubt that they were also fed a load of shit from him.

I think that Eric qualifies as an anti-social personality. He continually lies, and has no problem doing so. If any statement serves his goals, then he believes it is justified, true or not.

Noone should ever trust Eric Dondero 1/100th the distance they can throw him. (I said 1/100th, because Eric is a little guy. Mother nature shorted him, literally, on both height and intellect.)

Eric Dondero is almost certainly collecting a paycheck from someone associated with the mainstream Republican Party, for the purposes of destroying the Libertarian Party from within.

Eric desires to attend the Libertarian Party National Convention in 2010 and 2012. He knows that he has a terrible reputation, and that anyone that he hangs out with will be considered toxic. It is my belief that he will act as if he is a friend of Wayne Root there, if/when Wayne seeks the nomination again.

Hey, Dondero rationalizes: “The Libertarian Party is really just a non-religious version of the Republican Party”. The trouble with this blinkered “thinking” is that as soon as the Republican Party runs a non-religious candidate, Dondero advocates the destruction of the LP.

Again: ERIC DONDERO IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

The reason why it was so hard for the LP in Chicago? Probably because the gutless and brainless LP under Haugh refused to hire several longtime LP petitioners. Had this not been their official stance, the IL LP would have had several more signatures than it got from fascist “Republican” mercenaries like Eric Dondero.

Eric should be familiar with Ron Paul, because Ron Paul is his former boss, and a real libertarian (unlike Eric). Because Ron Paul is a real libertarian, he was once forced to fire Eric (who claims to have been his “senior” aide). This abrupt downward change in career led to Eric becoming a big promoter of Giuliani’s deservedly failed 2008 bid for the presidency.

Eric admitted (even after he was fired by Paul) that working for Ron Paul was the best job he ever had. (I guess Eric’s foul temper would not allow such “good” employment.)

…Apparently the stink of hiring someone who was a vocal proponent of “Rudoph Giuliani for President” wasn’t too much for the likes of Sean Haugh or Scott Kohlhaas. (Remember, these are the same guys who fired and blacklisted Andy Jacobs, who has a stellar track record of libertarian employment.)

I guess that “Master Shake” would like to forget how he told Bruce Cohen and I (early 2008) that “gun rights aren’t important”, when he was pimping New York’s openly-fascist, anti-free-speech mayor. Can everyone here at BAN do “Master Shake” a favor and purge your short term memories?
…It would really help him fit the facts into his BS version of reality. It would also help him manage the despicable fictions he incessantly spouts online.

C’mon and “turn the other cheek”, will you? Eric is safely a thousand miles away, and totally insulated from reality. …Just “agree to forget” with him, and maybe he’ll shut his stinkin’ yapper!

BTW: Eric is a leftist. You know how I know? …Because he listens to the Dead Kennedys, and Jello Biafra is a leftist. Therefore, Eric must also be a leftist.

Oh no, wait! I don’t have to use bizarro-logic! My brain works properly!

…Too bad (mentally) poor Eric doesn’t have that option!

As for Chris, Libertarian Vice President, Bennett. How did you pay for that college degree you brag about? Government money holding a gun to our heads?

Jake Witmer has half the brains just as he accuses Dondero of since he already knew the above was fact.

Wow.

It’s good to see that a poisonous snake like Dondero bites everyone equally, including his defenders. I guess that’s what makes him someone you cannot trust, under any circumstances. If he’s not a paid agent provacateur, he is every bit as bad as one.

BTW: When I called up Dondero in regard to his lies on this board, he admitted that he had told Cory that I was “hard to work with” before I went to West Virginia. Since Cory isn’t a libertarian (he’s a Republican), he believed Dumbdero more than the other libertarian party petitioners he talked to, and failed to allow me to hire enough petitioners to place the party on the ballot in WV. Dumbdero must have told him not to hire me as a “coordinator”. (Coordinator is an artificial designation used to denote someone who does no petitioning work, but instead only hires the petitioners. The two jobs need not be separate.)

This is the best evidence yet that I have for Dumbdero being an agent provacateur. After all, Barr was cost ballot access in WV because of the duo of Dondero and Cory.

And if that wasn’t the case, then why did COry refuse to bring in another pro petitioner on July 15th? What possible reason was there for that? Over a difference of $150 in travel?

I should have known I had been slandered when Cory told me “Jake, You know you’re difficult to deal with” and later, in the same conversation “Eric Dondero told me that you’re a great petitioner”.

The mindless fucker, Eric Dondero told him I would do 400 valid signatures per day! And since Cory had never run a petition drive before, he ignored me telling him: “A pro petitioner can be expected to do around 100 signatures per day”.

Behind the scenes, Eric the halfwit has actually done quite a bit of damage to the libertarian movement. We might want to actually question whether he is perhaps employed to sow unreason into our little movement. The idea is less far-fetched by the day.

After all, we know Dondero was a traitor to Ron Paul, whom many libertarians consider to be a rare libertarian example of an exception to the corruption of Washington DC.

It should be noted that Dondero is completely insane, and that he is a longtime friend of Scott Kohlhaas. It should be noted that Dondero began to consider himself a libertarian because Nick Dunbar told him that he was one, after he replied that he was “Socially tolerant and fiscally conservative”. Without that dumbed-down definition of libertarian, we might have all avoided dealing with the unphilosophical hassle that is Dondorko.

Trouble is, Eric has twice the energy of most activists and half the brains.

I wasn’t a paper shuffler, I sacrificed my days off from work and school to spend many hours at the State Board of Elections to do validity rates on all petitions, including YOURS! In fact, if it wasn’t for my expediency concerning low validity rates with a few petitioning crews out of Chicago, we would have lost more money than the $10000 lost due to BAD signatures. In fact, NATIONAL acted on MY suggestion to fire them. Even though I hate you…I did compliment you on being the best petitioner during the ballot access drive. But you trust your second hand information before you ask me about what went on here in Illinois. You have my e-mail address, you know how to contact me.
