According to smear artist Richard Ciullo, OceanCountyPolitics is a Web Site specializing in the publication of "pictures" of twelve year old girls, and OCP employees are pedophiles.

SmearSite Funded By Gilmore

This was the way the story came out on Ciullo's Berkeley Web Site funded by Ocean County Republican Chairman George Gilmore following allegations made by Council President Gregory McGuckin at last week's Dover Township Council meeting.

McGuckin-Dasti Law Firm Is 2nd Largest Pay-To-Play
No-Bid Contract Recipient In Ocean County

McGuckin's law partner, Jerry Dasti, is chairman of the Ocean County Republican Finance Committee; their law firm is the 2nd largest pay-to-play law firm in Ocean County; McGuckin is running for re-election in Dover Township Ward IV.

Gilmore-McGuckin Stooge Operates SmearSite

The web site that quickly embellished and circulated the McGuckin smear is operated by Central Regional School Board member Ciullo, also Vice President of the Berkeley Republican Club and one of Gilmore's political stooges.

Smear Launched At The Turf Bond
Hearing With 125 People Present

“They chose to take a picture of my then 12 year old daughter at a private meeting  and post it on their Web Site," alleged McGuckin as he opened the public hearing on the turf bonds.

"I'm not going to mention the name of the Web Site, but the owners are here, and they are sitting in the 5th row," said McGuckin, pointing to OCP Editor Richard Schiff and OCP Commentator Robert K. Haelig Jr.

McGuckin Wouldn't Allow OCP To Answer The
Smear At The Public Hearing Where It Was Made

But when Schiff and Haelig demanded to know what he was talking about, McGuckin ruled them out of order and wouldn't let them comment on his charges at the public hearing.

It was another step in a long sequence of smear, intimidation and character assassination, where the self righteous accuser, usually an Axis-Of-Greed lawyer making large amounts money from the political process, makes a wild, inaccurate and unsubstantiated charge about one or more of his critics, and then denies the victim a chance to answer the charge to the same audience which, the accuser hopes, will go home believing the lie.

As Usual, The Facts Are A Universe
Away From The Nature Of The Charges

In this case, the facts are a universe away from the charges as dumped by pay-to-play lawyer McGuckin and smear artist Ciullo.

The facts, in case anybody is interested: The cameraman was filming a very public meeting on election night 2003 at Republican Headquarters where the election returns were coming in for the Dover local government elections in which McGuckin was a Republican candidate.

The cameraman, in plain view of everybody, was filming speeches by Republican campaign manager Juan Bellu and Republican party boss Richard Clement while the audience was milling around in the background.

The Audience Is Part Of The Video

It was inevitable that the audience would be part of the video.

Mr. McGuckin's twelve year old daughter was part of the audience at GOP Headquarters that night, so it was inevitable that she would be in the background of the video along with many other people.

When OCP ran the Bellu-Clement video, the background audience came with it, a factual context that is far different from the grossly distorted and false impression left by lawyer-politician  McGuckin and the Ciullo SmearSite coverage.

Schiff: Ciullo Is "A Disgrace To Central Regional"

OCP Editor Richard Schiff sent a letter to the Central Regional school administration asking them to review the facts and Ciullo SmearSite coverage, and consider disciplining Ciullo who, Schiff says, "is a disgrace to the Central Regional School Board."

Stay tuned for Part II of the McGuckin-Cuillo smear, and we'll answer the question: Why was the cameraman there at GOP Headquarters in the first place? The answer may surprise and enlighten you, even though the stacked audience that was misinformed by Mr. McGuckin may continue to believe him.
