It ain't we, babe

Seeing posts by 'Mister Snitch' on nj.com? It's not us.

Recently Smarty Jones alerted us to a post attributed to 'Mister Snitch' on nj.com. The post specifically mentioned a meetiing between local slimebag Tony Soares and Dawn Zimmer. The purpose of said meeting was, presumably, to offer Soares some position of authority (probably a Freeholder slot).

It's not us. We haven't posted on nj.com in years, and we very rarely read it. The place is a foul stew of innuendo, lies, posturing, fraud, and character assassination. The culprit? Probably Soares himself, doing a little self-promotion. It would not be the first time Soares has tried to use us when he needs to borrow steal a cup of integrity.

The last time we were there actively, ages ago, Soares was posting under multiple names, including MikeyRox. (This was when Soares was out of office and politically dead.) MikeyRox loved Michael Russo beyond reason, praising him to the skies. MikeyRox wanted Russo to run for mayor in the worst way, and, by the way, thought Soares and Marsh should be 'in the mix' of candidates on his slate. This went on day after day after day. Then one day, MikeyRox and several other posters posted the EXACT same message - word for word, cut and paste - one after the other. We emailed Soares, telling him people would see through his multiple posting scheme if he was that sloppy.

All the cloned postings immediately vanished.

A similar business happened after Scott Delea's first campaign. Soares/Lenz/Marsh demanded that Delea endorse their slate. When he didn't, ugly messages began appearing on his website, drowning out all discussion. But Delea is in the internet ad business, so he's pretty net-savvy. He easily discovered that all the nastiness was coming from Soares' work address. He sent Soares a cease-and-desist email, threatening to inform his employer. Soares scurried back into the woodwork, and the trolling ceased.

We would not be surprised at all if Soares were put up for Freeholder or some similar position. He's always had the makings of an HCDO wiseguy.

UPDATE: Smarty Jones writes us to say that the nj.com boards aren't the chat-sewer they once were. We don't go anymore, so we don't know. All we know is, someone there is playing off our name. That's enough sleaze to keep us away, no matter how 'reformed' the joint may be otherwise.

UPDATE 2: It probably is NOT Soares posing as us on the nj.com boards. Because whoever it is, is linking to some posts that are VERY unflattering to him.

Do we feel badly about having accused him? Nah. After years of this kind of behavior (all the while denying every instance - even when caught red-handed), Soares has thoroughly earned his rep as a lowlife slimeball. Pull enough fire alarms and you become known as the guy who pulls fire alarms. Soon you become the first suspect for every false alarm, and whose fault is that?
