BOY, DID BRANDON WASHINGTON PRESIDENT OF THE [MARTY GOLDEN AFILLIATED] BROOKLYN YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB KICK OVER THE HORNETS NEST, OR WHAT !!!
SOME HAVE ARGUED THAT IT'S ONLY WASHINGTON'S "PERSONAL" ENDORSEMENT & NOT ONE ON BEHALF OF THE BROOKLYN YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB --- BUT, THE FACEBOOK PAGE I SAW SHOWED THE "BROOKLYN REPUBLICAN CLUB IS PROUD TO ENDORSE" WITH A PICTURE OF STATEN ISLANDER JANINE MATERNA --- PLUS RAIMONDO RANALLETTA SEEMED TO CONFIRM IT ALL WITH HIS FACEBOOK POST DEFENDING & JUSTIFYING MR. WASHINGTON AND/OR THE BROOKLYN YR CLUB
OH, DIDN'T I MENTION THE RECENTLY-CONVERTED FROM BEING A DEMOCRAT JANINE MATERNA IS RUNNING AGAINST AN INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER, RON CASTORINA, IN AN EXCLUSIVELY STATEN ISLAND DISTRICT
The war of words on the Brooklyn Young Republican Club FaceBook page is well worth a look....
80 comments:
Gail, you didn't mention how it all turned into a skirmish paintball fight between Capano, McCabe, Quaglione and their supporters.
I dont have a horse in this council primary but it seems, unlike in 2009 where capano was too much of a "nice guy" he and whoever is working with him now and assume Catsimatidis political folks, have decided to not be afraid to be more aggressive..he has specifically went after quaglione for his non support of Trump as the GOP nominee and now McCabe for his support of a Brooklyn YR club that has endorsed a challenger to a sitting republican assemblyman..
UPDATE: THE "YOU CAN'T DENY THIS" EDITION
MARTY GOLDEN, TED GHORRA, WILL[LIAM] MCCABE FRIEND AND SUPPORTER GOES ROGUE AGAINST STATEN ISLAND GOP INCUMBENT RON CASTORINA
BROOKLYN YOUNG REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WASHINGTON RESPONDS TO HIS CRITICS --- BASICALLY, HE SAYS TO STUFF IT !!!
Maybe what he really said on FaceBook was closer to this:
"Brandon Washington 2 hrs
Let's be clear, we reserve the right to back any viable candidate in NY STATE who's ready to share their legislative agenda with us. If a candidate wants our endorsement they have to first make time to present their case to my members. I'm fully aware that our decision [sic] is controversial but you should also be aware that I really don't care. Politics should never be personal and may the best Republican candidate win. #makethisgoviral"
For the record Brandon Washington is the president of the [Marty Golden - Ted Ghorra Faction] Brooklyn Young Republican Club; it is not the Brooklyn YRs whose president is Vito DiGiovanni.
Wow..he is just digging marty, ghorra, mccabe, quaglione deeper and deeper.
He is the Pres of a Club, and for him to take such a cavalier attitude and say "I really don't care" is offensive.
My source inside Marty G office just reported that Castorina just called and blasted him and vowed payback...
Washington and nocera are peddling the brooklyn yr club endorsement of materna all over facebook..not smart.
Washington and Nocera are both Golden hands, who threw a previously independent YR club completely into Golden's lap. They are sell-outs who are very stupid, because they sold out but got nothing for it.
Folks you are getting way too worked over basically nothing. Have any of you ever met or had a conversation with Brandon or Raimondo??? The make Glen Nocera look like a Harvard Law Professor! If Castorina really did call Golden and is familiar with them I'm sure that he really did vow "payback" as in "thank you so much and how can I ever repay you".
The comment by 4:41 is gibberish. I wonder which of Golden, Kassar and Ghorra or their crew of stiffs came up with it.
Glen Nocera, Brendan Washington and Raimondo X, you guys just got to get out and walk under the bus for the good of your Marty Golden team.
Here's the thing on this-- even though Eaton & others are trying to make a big deal on this, nothing anyone can do.. in fact, Golden & Kassar were just with castorina last night and all was fine.. and so was Quaglione by the way.. no one cares or is paying attention to Eaton or his cronies.
Information about Castorina event from comment at 6:14 is accurate and note that comment at 11:25 shows just how dumb some of Craig's hangers on are. Almost as dumb and dim as Brandon Raimondo and Glen but not quite there yet. The three of them actually went on FB and liked the Castorina event mentioned above.
Plenty more gibberish from 6:14 and 7:29 - "with Castorina last night" - "Castorina event" - "Brandon Raimondo and Glen actually went on FB and liked the Castorina event". Looks like a command performance by all hands and it really looks like Golden's crew is groveling on hands and knees with Castorina and Donovan. It all was done to stop all the noise and keep Liam Ambrose McCoockoo from getting fired again - what would that be the 10th time.
Except for the fact that 8:01 acknowledged that Team Golden attended Castorina event although I can't blame 8:01 for sticking up for the level of intelligence of Brandon, Glen and Raimondo compared to some of the people Eaton had in his inner circle Inguess those three would seem intelligent in comparison.
No body acknowleged anything - I called it more gibberish.
Wow if you don't know comprehend by now that they went to the Castorina event you must be even more "challenged" than Glen, Brandon, and Raimondo.
Does anyone really think any incumbent/candidate is going to go with craig eaton over Marty Golden???? He is toxic now. That is why you haven't seen anyone with him--
Anonymous at 959..."toxic"
Dont know how you arrive at that conclusion....he is very close with every other elected official except for the old man. I saw him recently with Donovan and Malliotakis.
If he was so toxic, whey would a Congressman and Assemblywoman meet with him and work with him?
You drank the Golden cool-aid. Just make sure it isnt Vodka, since he you know what......
Donovan is supporting Liam McCabe 17'..
There is no Liam McCabe 17' and Donovan would not do so no matter what, because he knows that McCabe's DV history makes him unfit for any public office.
12:19 pm I think McCabe who works with Donovan would know what he is thinking more than you!
I hear there will be a "Draft McCabe" Committee Announcement very soon!
UPDATE: THE "CRAZIER & CRAZIER -- 'HELLZAPOPPIN''" EDITION
STEP ASIDE OLE OLSON & CHIC JOHNSON, EVEN TOMMY TRINDER -- WE HAVE GLENN NOCERA & MARTY GOLDEN -- TOGETHER THEY ARE THE NEW LAUGH RIOT TEAM FOR BROOKLYN >>> [AND STATEN ISLAND] >>> [AND/OR AS NOCERA'S HAND-PICKED SUCCESSOR AS BROOKLYN YR PRESIDENT, BRANDON WASHINGTON, SAYS >>> ANYWHERE IN NY STATE]
GLENN NOCERA HAS CHOSEN TODAY TO POST HIS >>> ENDORSEMENT <<< BY BROOKLYN GOP STATE SENATOR MARTY GOLDEN --- IT'S JUST A FEW ITEMS AWAY FROM NOCERA'S POSTED ENDORSEMENT OF STATEN ISLAND'S JANINE MATERNA ON BEHALF OF THE BROOKLYN YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB AND ITS PRESIDENT BRANDON WASHINGTON
Somebody has decided that NYSS Marty Golden has to look like he is "BITCH SLAPPING" into line: >>> STATEN ISLAND Assemblyman Ron Castorina and certainly some >>> STATEN ISLAND Republicans, along with some left-over bile for Brooklyn GOPer Craig Eaton and his faction.....
As political strategy this is clearly crazier than crazy, but.....
As political theater this is high farce that's better than the pure farce of Olsen & Johnson or even the WW II and post-war British Music Hall, movie and TV great, Tommy Trinder.....
Thanks to Marty Golden's endorsement of his operative Glenn Nocera >>> AT THIS TIME <<< the Janine Materna endorsement story is being made into a saga, which is growing faster than the potted plant in the classic O&J skit: "... Mrs. Jones - Mrs. Jones, package for Mrs. Jones [right now the Materna endorsement is about as prominent as a six-foot potted palm tree, and IT IS STILL GROWING].....
I think McCabe and Golden are out drinking together today. I know for a fact that people respect Craig Eaton and will be working closely with him this year-- and in 2017!!
Both of those characters need to keep a schedule of convenient AA meetings in their pockets - in spite of what they think, neither is strong enough to deal with their demons. Everybody needs to remember, alcohol is the problem you choose to avoid your other real problems.
McCabe was a victim as a child and now he needs to be in multiple groups.
1) Liam should stick to judging animal costume contests.
2) where was Ted Ghorra at the Castorina event?
3) The fact that you keep talking about Eaton shows that he is still a key player in Brooklyn GOP!
I have no interest and nothing to gain from any of these races but some of you "keyboard tough guys" really need to learn how to conduct yourselves with some decency and civility. Liam McCabe DV? Really? His reaction to a very personal family matter --that should be kept that way-- was quite tame compared to what almost every other person in this Council District would have done. Maybe a "time out" would be called for in Park Slope or even a high five of congratulations on the Upper West Side but not here. And I'm not even friends with McCabe but bringing up his childhood is something only a loser would do.
what is this judging animal costume contest about?
Judging animal costumes is about all that McCabe is fit to do.
A lot of people try to describe domestic violence as a "very personal family matter"; but this was very public. It was so newsworthy that several NYC daily papers reported on it. It involved a "physical altercation" at a school directed at a child resulting in an arrest at the scene by the police who witnessed the incident. "McCabe was arrested and charged with assault, harassment, menacing and endangering the welfare of a child, court records reveal. The boy suffered bruises on his arms but he was otherwise unhurt, police said."
Even McCabe's former boss knew enough to immediately suspend McCabe from his government job because "These are serious charges that [shouldn't be] taken lightly."
I might agree that only a loser would bring up McCabe's childhood problems, but I'm sure McCabe did that all by himself in a personal puff-piece in the Home Reporter this last April.
RESPONSE: THE "KEEPING IT DECENT & CIVIL" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT &:40 PM" --- AND THE SEVEN DEVILS INSIDE OF YOU
"YOU ... REALLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO CONDUCT YOURSELVES WITH SOME DECENCY AND CIVILITY" --- HMMM, WELL, ISN'T THAT SPECIAL !!!
As one of those "keyboard tough guys" that seems to have your panties in such a twist, I do have to point-out that you too seem to like to do your boxing bare-knuckled, without rules and anonymously from an oblique vantage.
I very much doubt that you "... have no interest and nothing to gain from any of these races..." --- otherwise why would you be reading THIS blog and making the comment that you did. Clearly, you are quite familiar with at least ONE of Will [Liam] McCabe's legal problems, this run-in with the cops for ruffing-up his son at school.
My guess is that you know him in a capacity that is more than "a friend" -- although you do also want to distance yourself from the real "Will [Liam]" by saying >>> "... [a]nd I'm not even friends with McCabe...". <<< But even more than that, your formulation ".... His reaction to a very personal family matter --that should be kept that way -- was quite tame compared to what almost every other person in this Council District would have done...." is almost identical to what Jerry Kassar said right after McCabe's arrest a couple of years ago. No doubt, you are very close to that gaggle of "communications experts," with whom people like Kassar, McCabe, and even Quaglione [more about him soon enough], like to identify and associate.
Enough about that, let's cut to the chase -- McCabe has BIGGER problems than this domestic incident that got swept under the rug by a few former Marines -- and EVERYBODY THAT COUNTS KNOWS AT LEAST SOME OF THEM.
Speaking truth to the false legend being built by "Will [Liam]" McCabe and his handlers can't be decent and civil, because his truths aren't decent or civil, they are deep and very twisted indeed.
UPDATE & QUERY: THE "DID I JUST MENTION JOHN QUAGLIONE" EDITION
DID JOHN QUAGLIONE COMMIT AT LEAST TWO FELONIES IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE ??? I THINK THAT I CAN MAKE A PRETTY GOD GOOD ARGUMENT THAT HE DID & THAT AIN'T GOOD
You see, Mr. Quaglione, who you would think has been to a few rodeos by now, executed some >>> Certificates of Authorization <<< pursuant to the NYS Wilson-Pakula Law. What's more those Wilson-Pakula authorizations were purported to be on behalf of the Republican Party in Kings County. >>> And [here's the felony part] those certificates were intended to be filed with a government agency, the NYC/NYS Board of Elections, in order to influence its determination; and those authorizations were so filed at the BOE. <<<
Johnny Boy, that's not good -- not good at all.....
GM regarding your post at 8:36, I think you've been smoking something a little too potent for a Friday morning. Stop calling it "domestic violence", you and your sycophant shills who haven't gotten more than 25% in any race they've ever run should come out and say what this "domestic violence" incident was really all about. I do find your blog interesting and that is why I read it. As for McCabe, I hardly know the guy and don't really care to but you guys are really being disgusting and vicious for no other reason than he is perceived to be competition to your perceived faction in the party. Go ahead tell people what happened with Liam McCabe and that "domestic violence" incident.
REPSONSE: THE "YOU HAVE IT ALL BACKWARDS, BECAUSE 'IT LEFT A MARK' " EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 9:22 AM"
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WHAT MCCABE DID IS NOT >>> "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE." <<<
IT WAS AN ASSAULT ON A FAMILY MEMBER [MCCABE'S SON] AND IT WAS SO VIOLENT THAT THE POLICE HAD TO INTERVENE, MAKE AN ARREST AND THEN FIND THAT THE BOY WAS "BRUISED"
It is not I that needs to "... come out and say what this 'domestic violence' incident was really all about"..... BUT it is something that Will [Liam]" McCabe has to do.
McCabe himself needs tell everybody everything about what did happen outside the Math and Science Exploratory School on Dean Street in Boerum Hill on Friday, February 17, 2012 leading to his arrest; and then he should explain why he thinks that he is still fit to serve in ANY PUBLIC OFFICE [if he were an NFL player, he'd probably be spending a lot of time on the sidelines for this --- maybe the rest of his life].
While McCabe is at it, he can also explain how the "FIX" got put in to make it all go away --- and explain why after >>> all of that <<< he thinks that he is still fit to serve in ANY PUBLIC OFFICE.
Let me remind you what Congressman Michael Grimm said about this --- "These are very serious charges that have not been taken lightly.... Liam has been a hard-working member of my staff. However, I have suspended his employment in my office until the results of the official investigation become known." To date, I don't think anybody in the public was ever told what the results of that "official investigation" were, even though McCabe somehow got his taxpayer-funded congressional staff job back.
Come on GM you can do it I think it's in you unlike a lot of the other little weasels egging you on in he background and hiding behind you. Be a man tell everybody what McCabe did in that supposed assault on a family member. Go ahead provide details.
RESPONSE: THE "SEE MY 'REPSONSE' ABOVE" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:31 AM"
It was "in all the papers"..... And I'm sure Mr. Liam Ambrose McCabe would love to clear this up right away --- So, go ask him.....
Wait a minute, shouldn't "...the results of the official investigation..." be in McCabe's employment file in Congressman Donovan's office --- if you don't get anywhere with McCabe, ask Congressman Donovan what McCabe's "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE" incident was all about --- I think he'd understand the real significance of all of this, including what made the McCabe case go away, wasn't Donovan a DA once.
McCabe did what most other parents would have done and let's face it he was restrained compared to what some other parents might have done. It's a non issue that's why you and some other posters pussyfoot around the issue without providing details to make it seem far more ominous than it was. Then some of you bring up his childhood which is pathetic and low even for the low standards and expectations we have for GM benefactors.
You Conservative Party types have a soft spot in your heart for "BULLIES."
It start from the top with your chairman, Mike Long, who's in the middle of a bullying-suicide scandal at Our Lady of Angels School and needs to resign there.
Of course, it worked it's way down to Liam. What do you expect? Isn't Mike Long the only father-figure in Liam's life? A bullying father leads to a bullying son, and on, and on, and on.
I am just seeing this but Liam brought this on himself. .he is the one saying Donovan is supporting him and he has the sure support of the Conservative Party and he has Donovans ear. .he has his cronies like Raimondo and Maureen Daly who he milks candidates with on other campaigns, pushing his name around as the next councilman..lets see how fast maureen daly jumps ship after she sees this out there.
Maureen Daly? THE "Maureen Daly" who sued Eaton in 2013 for Marty Golden with the exact same signature as her sister, that "Maureen Daly"! What a loon; early in 2013 she was all over the place with Andy Sullivan; then wham, she turned on him like (well, let's leave it at she turned on him). She didn't just leave Andy alone though, she did the whole stalking deal. Liam will be better off being done with her.
Wow..liam is surrounding hinself with real winners
I wonder if Liam changed his name from Will to Liam to try and hide anything else from the past???? Just askin
To the poster at 11:33 am, this has nothing to do with Conservatives or Republicans. Although some of you who can't milk the county Republican party for your trips and jaunts any more may be understandably bitter. You won't say what happened with Liam's so called "dv" incident because you know most people would laugh at you, but leave it to certain usual low lives to bring that up as well as his childhood to cover up for their own failings and shortcomings.
A mug shot mailing is not good.
Neither is taking recreational trips paid for by a broke Brooklyn Republican Party.
RESPONSE: THE "MAYBE, THE OBVIOUS AIN'T SO OBVIOUS" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 1:54 PM"
At last, somebody let me/everybody know that they picked-up on my "Will [Liam]" meme.... Suffice it to say that there is a past and a re-invention by McCabe.... [more in due time, like when my sources deliver what they promised (you all will get it as soon as I do -- I promise)].
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 2:27 PM"
I SWEAR, THIS BUFFOON IS QUITE TIRESOME, AS WELL AS BEING AS STUPID AS A COLD POT OF BEARDED MUSSELS
"Tiresome" with the same rhetorical questions, pregnant with implications that the facts will bail out good old "Will [Liam}" -- in 2:27's words: "... you know most people would laugh at [the] so called "dv" incident..."
Once "Stupid" because they deny being close to "Will [Liam]" McCabe, but somehow know enough about what ".... McCabe did [on Friday, February 17, 2012 leading to his arrest was] what most other parents would have done and let's face it he was restrained compared to what some other parents might have done...." -- and so sure that they keep repeating it over-and-over, like a mantra.
Twice "Stupid" by trying to sell this notion: "... this has nothing to do with Conservatives or Republicans...." when it's all about an attempted raid on the GOP by Long's & Kassar's Conservative Party gonifs, using some mendacious Republicans topped by the obviously off-the-wagon Cleveland boor and masher, Marty Golden.
Did anybody notice the little back-n-forth between McCabe and Quaglione on facebook -- McCabe posted something about his request to NYC Parks Dept. to put trees by the Owls Head Park dog run, which was then countered by Quaglione's commented that State Senator Golden had already made the request.
Kassar has already told people he knows McCabe cant win a general election but want to show they can run one of their own as the republican candidate.
GM no one can aspire to your level of academic achievement because at this point trying to think is wearisome for you. As for knowing about what happened with the bs rumors you are offering about McCabe, it was in all of the local papers, but these days the word out on the street is that you get all your information from phone calls. Stop being a whiny sissy and tell us for once and for all-since you brought it up, what Liam McCabe or William or Willie whatever you want to call him, tell us that heinous act that Liam committed which will "doom" his political career...or you can keep carrying water for your loser friends/sources and pussyfoot around the subject.
Was Liam arrested? Yes...can it be proven? Yes..thats all that matters, voters don't care about details and semantics
That's nonsense, DeBlasio was arrested while he was campaigning for mayor. If you're so sure that voters don't care about details why are you not discussing what actually happened?
McCabe will win
How does mccabe get Quaglione out of the race?????
COMMENT: THE "COMMENT ABOUT COMMENTS" EDITION
YOU'RE ALL DOING SO WELL WITHOUT ME, I'LL GO WORK ON MY NEXT POST.
OH, WHO TO TRASH --- WHO TO TRASH ? ! ? ! ?
Who to trash?
how about the nit wit lawyer who screwed up Ferraros case
After the points brought up by Gale and commenters, I think reality may be setting in for McCabe and his few supporters and we may hear a lot less from him moving forward.
RESPONSE: THE "I THINK YOU'VE GOT IT -- ALREADY" EDITION

You already have it zeroed-in right here >>> "... what Liam McCabe or William or Willie whatever you want to call him, tell us that heinous act that Liam committed which will "doom" his political career...." --- Except, it ain't one "heinous" act.....
Maybe, "Will [Liam]" McCabe can remember back to 2009 or 2010 when he was telling somebody that he often thought about running for City Council from Bay Ridge >>> but his "Willie" problem would keep it all from happening --- also that he didn't actually live in Bay Ridge or Brooklyn at the time --- also that he was in the Conservative Party.....
But really, it's his demons, it's his demons..... "DV" and one or two other things are just symptoms..... This guy has many gifts, but he needs "Twelve Steps" here or many more steps in the Vermont woods -- not politics !!!
GM you have nothing on McCabe or you would have already used it. You won't tell us what happened with his supposed "dv" incident because people will be laughing at you.
Gale
Great reporting on McCabe..i hear Julianne Cuba of the Brooklyn Paper saw your post and will be writing something on this in her column next week.
Did you hear that from the same guy selling you your crack?
It's not legal to buy ass or the crack
There's no way that with what McCabe did to his kid and the police he didn't have the police, Bd of Ed, social services, the DAs office and his X involved. Unless there was a bigtime fix, this should have been nothing less than a dismissal of charges after a year and completion of an anger management program and with an order of protection for the whole family with the X.
WAY-BACKFILL: THE "SOMEBODY LET ME KNOW WHAT WAS ALREADY POSTED ON MY BLOG" EDITION
A RELEVANT COMMENT FROM BACK IN MAY [THIS YEAR] FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT --- OR, LIKE ME, COMPLETELY FORGOT IT WAS THERE --- WITH LINKS ABOUT A STORY WAY BACK IN FEBRUARY 2012
SO..... LIKE I SAID ABOVE..... THE MCCABE DV STORY WAS IN THE PAPERS (BUT NOBODY NOT-A-FRIEND-OR-POLITICAL-BUD OF "WILL [LIAM]" KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHARGES AND/OR WHAT PENALTY, IF ANY, WAS METED-OUT]

Wow..thats alot of stories. .cant just be nothing. .imagine those headlines one can use in a mailing. .
Come on tell people about Liam's "heinous" incident of "dv". Come on go ahead but you guys get laughed at so much you're probably trying to cut back on the exposure.
632 pm-- you want it here it is from the Staten ISland Advance, similar accounts in may other media outlets:
BY TOM WROBLESKI, JILLIAN JORGENSEN, and RYAN LAVIS
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A staffer in Rep. Michael Grimm's Brooklyn office has been suspended after he was arrested outside a Brooklyn school Friday during a physical altercation with his teenage son.
Liam McCabe, a community relations director for Grimm's office, was charged with assault, menacing, and endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Brooklyn district attorney's office.
McCabe was picking up his 14-year-old son from school. Outside the school, police officers saw McCabe grab his son's arm and then "shook him about the body," the spokesman said. Those officers intervened and arrested McCabe, who is expected to be arraigned on the charges today.
"These are serious charges...I have suspended his employment in my office until the results of the official investigation become known," Grimm said in a statement to the Advance.
He grabbed his teenage son's arm after he was caught bringing pot to school? Oh the humanity!!!!
Why isn't he doing 25 to life?????? Surely Grimm, Golden, and other shadowy figures in the State and maybe even Obama himself intervened to get McCabe off with a slap on the wrist--no pun intended. Seriously it took you this long to tell us? What a bunch of losers. I'm not sure what is more pathetic this or talking about his childhood.
As it was McCabe's son had suffered injuries ["bruising"], later visible to the police. If the police did not intervene and arrest McCabe on the spot, the boy's injuries could have been much more severe.
McCabe's parental anger under the circumstances might be understandable, but his complete loss of control and paternalistic rage response is no longer acceptable in 21st Century America. The fact that he did it all with the police right there showed how irrational and "self-destructive" his behavior was.
Unfortunately, irrational, self-destructive behavior can hurt other people. In this case McCabe's behavior did hurt his son.
He looks fine to me and is growing up to be a fine young man. Cut the crap, upon learning of what happened half the parents in this area would have responded far more harshly. Not that what Liam did was the best course of action but it is certainly understandable under the circumstances.
Bullying, especially by any parent is despicable. Any toleration for bullying like what is obvious from Conservative Party leaders in Brooklyn and some of the people making comments defending this McCabe character is what leads to teen suicides. Look at Daniel Fitzpatrick.
832pm you are missing a very key point, if as you say Mccabe acted as half other parents would have the police would NOT HAVE INTERVENED. The fact that he showed up drunk did not help with his reaction.
Now you have to start adding bs to make it sound bad. Cut the crap ask the parents of this district what they wood have done of all of a sudden they found out that their teenager was not only smoking pot but taking it to school. Drunk? That's bs. Next you're going to get so desperate you're gonna write that homie showed up strapped wearing brass knuckles.
Bullying of any sorts should never be tolerated. Especially when a parent no less is inflicting serious harm to his child. It's the likes of monsters like this McCabe character as to why teen suicides are becoming a pattern. This McCabe character seems unfit to seek any public office.
Justin Brannan or whoever will there one mailing with all the newspaper stories linked above and the election will be over. Does Kassar want to really win or just say he got a conservative on the Republican line to run. .of course Golden does not want any Republican to compete with him. We see how he gets along with Malliotakis
Republicans and Conservatives used to stand up for family values and Bay Ridge used to be a place that cared about "family values," "drug use," "drugs in schools" and many other things.
If Liam McCabe runs for anything it will be his opponents, Republicans and Democrats, the press and all the voters that will be asking McCabe for his versions, excuses and explanation about his arrest and everything else about this case and whether he should have only received a "slap on the wrist" for it.
Also they'll want to know what this case and the rest of McCabe's real life experience shows about how he really stands on all conservative family values. Things like marriage, fatherhood, family responsibility, self-control, sobriety and honesty.
It will take more than McCabe being a likeable political hack with friends in high places.
Just picture what will be left with McCabe if the two O'Briens do their job on him during a primary campaign. McCabe won't be likeable or have friends in high places anymore. And neither will any of the people who decide to go down on McCabes already sinking ship, Republican and CONSERVATIVE.
840 am. .
And that's a wrap on mccabes campaign thay never really began
840 am..yes i hear one council GOP candidate will be employing the services of a Mr. Obrien soon..
McCabe is finished no friends of his can save him.
McCabe is sinking fast and he hasn't even been hit by the biggest torpedo yet
Well now what happens, does kassar go to Quaglione once mccabe bows out
Somebody e-mailed somebody else with something that shows Bob Capano is getting ready to hit "Will [Liam]" McCabe with an early knock-out blow (perhaps even using one of his "big torpedoes").....
Get ready for Capano to engage on the issue of >>> Homelessness <<< in Bay Ridge --- this will be a Waterloo for McCabe, who's already been knocked around pretty bad about his arrest in 2012.
Please don't include my name I never endorsed her. Glenn Nocera
