And Featuring Rev. Tim L. Donovan, Lead Guitar for America's Hope Foundation

Review these photos.
The one at the left is of "Reverend" Tim L. Donovan, spokesman for "America's Hope Foundation."
The photograph at the right is from the MySpace site of "Irondragonz," a heavy metal band based in Shenandoah, Virginia (update: Irondragonz's MySpace now lists the band's location as Washington DC; they're still based in Virginia). Anyway, take a gander at the fella just under the wall clock. Pretty striking resemblance, wouldn't you say?

Among its members, Irondragonz features gentlemen by the names of Tim W. Donovan, songwriter and vocalist, and Tim L. Donovan, lead guitarist and, occasionally, drummer and vocalist. Tim W. and Tim L. appear to be father and son (respectively), and daddy's MySpace provides some interesting details about his home life:

Status: Married
Here for: Friends
Orientation: Straight
Hometown: obamaville next to crack town
Ethnicity: Latino / Hispanic
Religion: Other
Zodiac sign: Virgo
Children: Proud parent
Education: High school
Occupation: slave trader

Charming, eh?

Oddly enough, two "Tim Donovans" appear on a "Count All Votes" e-peitition. From Google’s cache of that petition as retrieved on Jul 2, 2008 (I've redacted names not related to America's Hope Foundation, and I've left Ms. Adkins's just "because"):

Name	Comments
7 Aaron McCauley	Shame on the DNC. They should know better. [McCauley is Count All Vote's media contact]
10 Tim Donovan	count these votes!
11 Tim L Donovan
13 Cristi Adkins	All voices have a right to be heard and all votes matter. It is odd that a child of civil rights activist would 'hush' the voters of Florida and Michigan; regardless of the rationale. Incongruent of a 'Not Politics as Usual' mantra as well. Cristi Adkins

There's another name or two that I'm curious about, but I've removed them for the moment.

After America's Hope Foundation chose to discard their Sinclair ads, I thought to ignore them. Then I took a look at their YouTube page. Several of their anti-Obama videos ' titles use the word "white," as in, "hate of whites," "white greed,"and "just how white folks will do ya." This focus on how whites will be harmed by Obama certainly brings their motivation into question.

Of course, this whole thing could be publicity stirring shenanigans for their bar band. If so, it's a strange way to be garnering media attention.

Added: I forgot to include that a Timothy Donovan does reside in Front Royal, VA, but his address doesn't match that of the AHF/OHS registrant (actually, the registrant's phone number; the registrant's given address is not a residence). This Tim Donovan might not be affiliated with this group in any way. I know that seems unlikely, but I don't want to post unconfirmed material. There's enough of that going on at the moment. Oh, but I can add that it appears the entire Donovan clan supports Hillary Clinton. Four of them appear on the petition--they were so eager they even beat Cristi Adkins in signing their names.

Update: Since this post, Donovan the Elder has edited his MySpace page. Rather than revise his responses to the categories of "hometown" ("obamaville next to crack town") and "occupation" ("slave trader"), he's simply removed those categories from his "details" section.

August 16th: Please see this update.
