A lawsuit link between Bishop Paulk and Vernon Jones?

Only recently has WAGA-TV (Fox 5) posted on its web site this report that Dale Russell put together last week, theorizing that there’s a lawsuit link between disgraced Bishop Earl Paulk and Vernon Jones, the DeKalb County CEO and U.S. Senate candidate.

In February, Superior Court Judge Mark Anthony Scott ordered a couple and their attorney suing Bishop Earl Paulk to pay more than $1 million in legal fees and court costs from a dismissed case.

Mona and Bobby Brewer dropped their years-old suit last July, but each filed a separate suit in state court later in 2007.

That led Scott to rule the first suit frivolous. The million-dollar award is to cover court costs and fees for Paulk’s lawyers.

Using footage of former DeKalb County prosecutor J. Tom Morgan, who calls the award “unheard of,” Russell points out that the Scott ruling had a side effect.

Says Russell:

“Judge Scott’s ruling delayed the second lawsuit, just six days before Judge’s friend and political supporter, DeKalb CEO Vernon Jones, was set to appear in court as a witness.

“Last October, Vernon Jones gave a deposition in the Paulk case. According to court records, Jones refused to answer questions about his personal relationship with Patty Battle. She was once a key member of Paulk’s church, and admitted under oath she had a sexual relationship with Earl Paulk.”

Morgan, who is no friend of Jones, represents Battle.

Russell is reporting that the second lawsuit is unlikely to resume until late this year.

Yet another attack on future US Senator Vernon Jones…I am getting fed up with these strategic reports on Mr. CEO he has been in the news for a diffrent allegation everyday this week. I wonder would these reports be surfacing if he wasn’t running for US Senate.

Who is smarter “then” whom? Dr., it is not your fault. You were, no doubt, educated in a government school.

As far as the stupid lights out thing, I will be lit up like the 4th of July. I have even called my tenants in Coco Beach and told them to turn on all of my outdoor (aka turtle) lights.

With regard to wasting life, you libs love aborting babies. That is a waste. I do, still, have hope that the libs will abort themselves into extinction. I’m an optimist!!! Peace.

Churchy if you could harness the energy of your hate you could light up all the middle east so we could smite the evil-doers and throw the dishonorable war-mongers lil bush and 8 deferment dick a parade with medals of delusional grandeur. I take joy in seeing you neocons trash a true patriot like McCain. He doesn’t drink enough Jesus juice for your party. He seems to have class and doesn’t get into the race-baiting hate mongering lying thieving Bush administration acumen. To bad they mismanaged a war and ruined the economy. Yeah I know its the libs fault. Go back to taking pictures of your neighbors wife pervert and while your at it quit playing with yourself or you’ll go to hell.

I must be hitting a lib nerve. Just so you know, liberal insults are a sign of respect. I love them. I been posting here a while, and I think that there is a direct correlation between lib attacks and the crumbling of Democrat hopes for victory in November. Keep it up, libs. Keep it up.

Cannonball Claire, have you read the hate-ridden tripe the libs post?

Peace.

Dr. Terdblosslib must read everything I post. He is bringing up the photos of my idiot neighbor, the Ru Paul supporter, and his antics. You see, I posted this story on another thread. But it is one of my favorite stories. It illustrates the intelligence of the average Ron Paul supporter. I will copy it below. Enjoy.

Vernon Jones is a Perv

*Another funny story about my idiot neighbor, the Ru Paul supporter:

About a month ago I was looking out a window on the front of my house, I noticed my across the street neighbor running to the idiot’s house. I walked out on my front porch and saw the trouble. The idiot had decided to burn a pile of yard debris (Without a permit, I’m sure. Let alone the fact that we live in a nice area and it is not often that you see this sort of activity.) Alas, he had the pile of debris to close to his brand new white BMW. The Ru supporter had not factored in the wind and the flames were licking the side of his car. He had left the fire unattended.

I saw him driving a couple of days later, and the whole side of his car seemed to be damaged. Anyway, it was hilarious. I have photos of the incident.*

Liberals abort innocent children.

Vernon Jones is a pervert. The man is involved in scandal after scandal. Let’s save the tax payers some cash, and avoid the special election charges the state will have to pay, when Jones is kicked out of the United States Senate. If he is elected, of course.

We are the World we are the children let’s make a brighter day let’s start giving. While we are on Earth should we not try to make our collective stay as kind and good as possible. I forgive all of your anger, so tomorrow go look at the beauty of nature, open a door for a stranger or old person, compliment your loved ones on how beautiful they are. Hug a friend, hug an enemy. Love is the order of the day. Everyone goes through this trip together and hopefully when your corpse rots your soul lives on due to your good deeds in kindness to strangers kindly . Do you want to take a soul to the next life full of petty arguments or do you desire understanding and kindness from all. Life is tough, everyone makes mistakes, but we can do better. I send a warm loving hug to all who are hurt and confused a swirly saturated shake of donkeys and elephants embrace for the future of love and good fellowship and love recognizing our collective all in this s** together + the chance to offer a hand to a stranger who is running out of hope, I suggest we start with neighbors, friends, and family. Show you care make an effort to cultivate the family connection and one day I hope to hug all of you in a wonderful hug so pure and life-changing that this moment will be known in the history books as moment in time when people showed and felt beautiful love for all.
