Halburn On New Stalking Expedition?

Several of our readers who
frequent Topix, the trailer park of the internet, informed us that it appears that Halburn, posing as the sock puppet Election Watcher, has been posting from a New Martinsville WV IP address since sometime last night.

There are only 2 explanations for this.

One, his ISP has assigned him a New Martinsville IP address. New Martinsville is 150 miles away from Hurricane. Likely? We think not.

Two, he's actually in the New Martinsville area.
What's his interest there?
Our favorite Girl of Words lives in that area. If he was willing to drive to Washington DC to stalk her 2 summers ago and threaten to do the same thing last summer, it's even more attractive to him now that she's a little closer to home.

Either way, he's there to stalk someone or he somehow changed his IP to reflect her hometown just to terrorize her.

We invite Halburn to offer his explanation.

A warning for you Halburn, West Virginia is a shall issue state. It's also a castle doctrine state. If you don't know what that means, look it up.
Be very careful. This isn't California.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. Long live Omarko Bin Halburn, domestic terrorist.

Hallburn Continues To Prevaricate In Election Ad Controversy

Where's The Proof?

The second set of primary
election financial statements are in, and as expected, neither PutnumLive nor Halburn's names appear on Natalie Tennant's or Betty Ireland's reports.

PutnamLIES.com exposed the fact that their political ads run by Halburn on his opinion blog appeared without the consent and without payment by their respective campaigns.
And that it appears to be a long standing practice of his, running over several election cycles.

And as always Halburn has a convoluted excuse why.

He claims to have PLENTY of documentation to cover himself. PLENTY! Signed agreements, income statements, EVERY penny is listed. EVERY penny!
He says.
He claims that if a candidate and/or supporter fails to declare a contribution to the SOS, that is on them.

He claims that some local candidates failed to report their purchase of ads.
His explanation is that supporters bought the ads and did not report the buy to a candidate. That's why the buy wasn't reported.

This, however, does not explain the fact that the Tennant ad specifically stated: "Paid For by the Elect Natalie Tennant Committee".
Now, in order for an ad to carry that disclaimer, it had to be placed by that committee, not a random supporter.

It also does not explain the fact that MULTIPLE campaigns did not report any expenditures at PutnumLive over the course of SEVERAL election cycles.

We can see if one candidate forgets to list such an insignificant ad buy like PutnumLive, but 2 in just 1 primary this year? And at least 3 other candidates in past elections? We were born at night, but not last night.
He then tried blaming unnamed out-of-state organizations for running the ads, saying because of that, the candidates can't possibly be aware of all of the advertisements run.

Hallburn says the Secretary of State knows that he WILL PROVE EVERYTHING that he says!
We say prove it to the reading public.
Show us the proof, fatboy. Either on your blog or send it to us and we'll print it, without alteration.

Provide the names of those who paid for the ads.

Then he claims that he has provided a document to the WVSOS office proving that they were paid for by supporters.

That's not good enough.
The public that you claim to serve has the right to know. The public that you claim to serve has the right to see whatever documents that you claim to have supplied to the secretary of state's office.
Show us the documents.

But we all know why you don't provide any proof. It doesn't exist. There's nothing to show.

You claim you did nothing wrong. Now prove it.

Hallburn says "I work at a school that needs a working vacuum cleaner".
We guess it must be too hard for him to push a broom.



Have you no shame? You are a cheap, greedy, piece of shit.
Why can't you just admit yours broke down? You should have given some sob story like "Our sweeper broke and my wife got fired because I acted like an asshole on vacation and we can't afford to get the old one fixed ." At least tell the truth.

Schools don't need second hand vacuum cleaners.

We pay taxes for stuff like this.
I mean working people. We know you don't pay anything, Hallburn.

You suck, Halburn.
Why don't you just show up and tell them their new vacuum is here.

4/22 8:06 PM UPDATE:

Now he's begging for filing cabinets. Good god, is there no end to this? If there's one thing schools have no trouble getting it's filing cabinets.

Hallburn Now Falsifying Poll Results

Changes Latest Poll's Yes Results To No



Whether it's because he's angry at his second wife for forcing him to move to West Virginia, his anger for not being able to sell her property at an exorbitant price, or the financial stress he places on his family due to his unwillingness to find a full time job, Hallburn will do anything to make it seem that people are not happy in Putnam County.

In another stinging rebuke of Halburn's inability to report anything honestly, PutnamLIES.com can reveal that he is lying about the poll results in his latest survey.

This snapshot of the poll results was taken at 9 AM on April 1st.

The picture doesn't lie, even when Halburn does. Here it is, for all to see, the posted image of the screen capture.

As you can see from the actual results, respondents think Putnam County's economy is doing just fine by a count of 75% to 25%.

However, Halburn apparently has some kind of psychopathic need to inflate the numbers and report the results as just the opposite. He claims that 90.5 percent of respondents to his poll say they need more jobs, shops, and restaurants. He reports that 9.5 percent said the economy was fine.

That's a big difference in the actual results that PutnamLIES.com saw on April 1st. Where he came up with his numbers is anyone's guess. Only the voices inside his head know for sure.

We know one thing though. Hallburn is willing to do or say anything if he thinks it will make his political enemies look bad or make him look good. He is an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist. He will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working citizen. He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.

We must disclose that his polls are non-scientific and are placed online for Halburn to mislead his 29 readers about issues in which he has a vested interest or an axe to grind.

The Facts Don't Lie

But Hallburn Does -
Election Chicanery Exposed



Last month Hallburn got busted once again. This time for running campaign ads without the candidates' permission.

He illegally ran unpaid ads for both Natalie Tennant and Betty Ireland's campaigns for the gubernatorial nomination.



PutnamEYES.com said that the truth would come out when the first primary campaign financial reports were released.
And it has.
The truth is that Halburn lied.
Again.
Neither Ireland nor Tennant's reports lists PutnumLive as an expenditure or an in-kind contribution.

The Tennant ad even had the "Paid For by the Elect Natalie Tennant Committee" disclaimer. Which, if it was not a paid ad, is a violation of election law.

Campaign reports must contain all expenses.
An advertiser cannot donate ads to a candidate unless a value is declared and the donation is accepted by the candidate.PutnamEYES.com's prediction came true when Halburn claimed that unnamed supporters of the candidates only paid for the ads through February 28th. He says he doesn't run free advertisements.
Another lie which PutnamEYES.com has disproved.
Even Halburn admitted that he runs free ads. He just can't remember all the lies he's told.

Funny though, when the Secretary of State's Election Fraud Division got involved, the ads disappeared.
Halburn's explanation doesn't hold water. No politician buys an ad for one month, 3 months before an election. Especially to reach Halburn's 29 readers.

Next, he claimed ads were paid for by candidate supporters who plan to run them again when they get funds. He says no one ordered them removed.

Neither of these campaigns are hurting for money. The fact is, neither campaign sees the need for blog advertising.

He claims that political ads run $300 a month. Which is another lie.
Expenditure reports show that they cost anywhere between 25-200 dollars a month, when he decides to charge for them at all.
Some candidates pay nothing. Reports show that Brady Paxton for example, paid zero despite his ad running there for at least a month.
A Dale Martin ad that appeared before the general election in November apparently ran for free as well. It does not appear in any of his expenditures.
Both ads contained the "paid for" disclaimer.

Here are the numbers for the 2010 election cycle:

Brady Paxton
No expenditures since 11/5/08

Dale Martin
5/24/10 - ad - $100

Cathy Larck
4/25/10 - monthly ad - $125
5/11/10 - monthly ad - $125
11/14/10 - monthly ad - $175

Justin Black
5/7/10 - Advertisement - $100

Marge Carpenter
3/31/2010 - Advertising - $200
4/25/10 - Advertising - $25
5/3/10 - Advertising - $200

Debra Girimont
6/13/09 - ad test - $150

Additionally, in the 2008 Supreme Court race, Halburn ran an ad for now Justice Menis Ketchum that didn't appear on Ketchum's expenditures. Again containing the "paid for" disclaimer.

The candidates for county offices, Debbie Phillips, W.D. Arthur, William Legg & Kathie Crouse, are not required to file reports , so we can't tell if any of those candidates actually paid for their ads.

So, the bottom line here is that Halburn ran the Ireland and Tennant ads completely unsanctioned, without any permission or compensation from the campaigns.

Illegal?
Probably.
Unethical?
Certainly.
Neither is new for Mark Hallburn.

The sad thing about this whole episode is that both candidates knew these ads were running there but took no steps to have them removed. If neither of these two women weren't willing to stand up to a bully like Halburn, how are they going to stand up for the people of West Virginia on the really tough issues that face our state?

ANY politician that advertises with PutnumLive.com is not fit to hold office.
