Brooklyn GOP Radio doesn't mention State Senator Martin Golden by name, but they did say that the NYS Legislature were the "Baffoons of Week" for passing the Cuomo Gun Bill

Republican Leaders Russell Gallo and Gene Dougherty say that the Governor and State  Legislature outlawed high capacity magazines for all  policemen and National Guardsmen in New York State with the recently enacted gun law

If it's true, that should come as a a big surprise to people like "Republican" State Senator Marty Golden who strongly supported  Governor Cuomo's  anti-gun law, but who along with his staff obviously never did read the bill or do any thinking about its consequences 


All of that would clearly place State Senator Golden & Co. among the class of people Russell Gallo calls  "LOW  INFORMATION VOTERS";  and by what he said about the supporters of the governor's gun bill all night, it's clear that's what RG wanted to convey to his listeners about GOLDEN -- even though he never mentioned him by name.

If you were listening to tonight's program as part of your "social drinking" cover  for your serious drinking problem, and  you were using the phrase "low information voters" as the magic phrase in any drinking game you were playing, you would have  been well on you way to  Drunk City by the end of the show, or at least as far as  Tipsyville .  Gallo  also added that many people who listened to the program were "low information voters."   Sadly, Russell Gallo lacks personal insight when he [over]uses that term and fails to apply it to himself.  Gallo is still largely de-rasinated  as to his personal frustration and dispirit in all matters political, but lately I detect a spark of inspiration that's fighting to overcome some of his earlier bad choices.

T.J. Basile appeared on the show as a guest and he was obviously put there to tout the candidacy of Adolfo Carrion, a liberal "registered independent,"  former Democrat BP of the Bronx and former member of the Obama Administration, in addition to being the candidate personally supported by Kings County Republican Chairman Craig Eaton.  Asked about whether Carrion should get the support of the GOP leaders for a Wilson-Pakula, Mr. Basile answered that the Republican establishment in New York City very much wants to hold onto the office of mayor and that requires reaching out to other communities -- especially the Latino community.  Clearly according to Basile's comments,  the principal reason to support the Adolfo Carrion candidacy is that Carrion is Latino.  In other words,  the GOP must participate in 60s and 70s style affirmative action in selecting its candidate for mayor if it hopes to win.  How "John Lindsey"  of  Basile, Eaton and the rest of  the GOP establishment !  ---  Isn't that how the GOP sank the City the first time  ?

Please note: not a word about ykw .....  Maybe, tomorrow.....

"Republican" Mayor Lindsey was a believer in and through his administration a strong practitioner of affirmative action. Under Lindsey and Beame white flight accelerated and the city crashed and burned.

You should check out the statement made by Brooklyn Young Republican Club President Glenn Nocera. He had no problem calling Golden out on his vote. http://www.brooklynyr.com/2013/01/16/statement-by-brooklyn-young-republican-club-president-glenn-nocera-on-state-senator-marty-goldens-vote-on-governor-cuomos-gun-control-bill/?utm_source=General+Mailing&utm_campaign=aa8e89e565-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email

On January 16, 2013 at 7:00 PM, I made a comment to "UPDATE" my post, entitled "The following is State Senator Martin Golden's [or his staff's] official statement posted at: http://www.nysenate.gov/press-release/senator-golden-comments-gun-safety-legislation".

That update comment contained the whole of Glenn Nocera's "statement" in the form of an open letter addressed to Brooklyn Republican State Senator Golden, to which you have referred in your comment. It appears that you had not seen all of that when you made your comment on January 17th at about 3:13 PM.
