The entire column by Kassar last week is evidence that the entire Golden staff was involved in a media war with “Fight Back Bay Ridge” after waging and then losing what the Golden crowd themselves described as a political battle for the streets of Bay Ridge --- After that epic fail, Golden’s top staffers pivoted to a social and other electronic media campaign, along with Kassar’s column in some local newspapers to make outlandish claims and cry foul
Kassar’s column tracked social media messages previously
posted by the likes of John Quaglione and John Seravalli, and on the record
comments by Michael Tobman and Arlene Rutuelo
--- All of which shows that the
Golden Staff meltdown over the Third Avenue Strolls fiascos was not something
by John and John going rogue, but rather
a coordinated attack including a consultant like Tobman and Golden’s long-time Chief of Staff Kassar
Read it all for yourself in Jerry Kassar’s “Common Sense” column, “Fighting Back” in the August 17-23, 2018 edition of the Home Reporter, and presumably other
Brooklyn Reporter publications (I’ll get
you the online cite/site when I track it down).
The Strolls are community events not political functions. Nothing unusual about Goldens staff using these events to meet constituents.
ReplyDeleteIt's an election year. All community events are political events.
ReplyDeleteGolden and company lose again and will lose yet again in November and the lovely John Q wife will be looking for an employable new husband
ReplyDeleteCitizens group my ass. These are Justin Brannans minions. They’ve been harassing residents and trying to bully them for years. Even their fellow Antifa aspirants Radio Free Bay Ridge distanced themselves. This is the same group that brought in the socialists to have a counter demonstration in support of the crack motel being planned on fifth avenue. They’ve finally been exposed.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:48 AM" & "... AT 5:33 AM"
YOU DON'T EVEN SEE YOUR OWN ARBITRARY DISTINCTIONS LIKE "NOT POLITICAL... [BUT] NOT UNUSUAL FOR GOLDEN'S STAFF USING THESE EVENTS TO MEET CONSTITUENTS"; OR THAT YOU ARE PLAYING RIGHT INTO FBBR'S HANDS BY MAKING IT A POLITICAL FIGHT FOR THE STREETS AND AVENUES OF BAY RIDGE
"CITIZEN'S GROUP MY ASS..." --- ARE YOU QUESTIONING WHETHER THEY ARE "CITIZENS" OR WHETHER THEY ARE A "GROUP"; OR THAT "THEY'VE FINALLY BEEN EXPOSED" --- BUT ISN'T EXPOSURE EXACTLY WHAT A CITIZENS GROUP LIKE FBBR WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE ???
Golden and his staff have dug themselves into a hole over this speed cameras near schools issue; and then they've dug down even deeper by making it into a political war on the streets against a citizens group's complaining about Golden's negative position(s) on the school zone speed cameras.
They seem determined to try to prove that they can dig their way out of the hole no matter how deep they make it.
Is Golden 2018 using the Hynes 2013 playbook, just because Kassar got it for him on the cheap.
ReplyDeleteI can't hardly wait for that bus with the back porch on it, all done up for Marty Golden. When does Artie Aidala get named Golden's campaign chairman?
Cute post Gale but FBBR tried to portray themselves as a benevolent non partisan group. They almost got away with it too. They’re thugs. You like them because Brannan likes them and they hate Golden but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re Antifa wannabes.
ReplyDeleteMINI-BACKFILL: THE "NOT QUITE THE BEST CITATION" EDITION
ReplyDeleteHERE ARE SOME PLACES TO SEE MR. KASSAR'S COLUMN --- BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO SQUINT REAL HARD.....
All these folks must be very impressed that this Kassar column is a good thing (See photo-saved page of Jerry Kassar's "Common Sense" Column, "Fighting Back" [Brooklyn Conservative @BKConservatives . Aug 20...; also Retweeted at https://twitter.com/gerardkas, and at https://twitter.com/southbrooklynr?lang=en]).
It's also like a genealogical tree of those connected to Kassar's rant of fake news bits about FBBR. However, don't forget, the earliest exhibits of these fake news items came from Kassar's day job underlings on Marty Golden's staff, John Quaglione and John Seravalli.
FBBR is a left wing fringe group that started as advocates to abolish ICE. Kassar is a conservative.
ReplyDeleteAt least some people want to keep Bay Ridge Great.
ReplyDeleteGale while you are so enamored with Brannan the bs artist keep in mind that these punks from FBBR targeted individuals long before tussling with Golden, they are Antifa wannabes trying to bully people who disagree with them.
ReplyDeleteFBBR are just a bunch of left wing nuts manipulated by Justin which eventuallt discard and embarrass faster than a Chris McCreight Assembly Campaign.
ReplyDelete1:12 you meant birthers
ReplyDeleteNo, Birchers. But they are probably that, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen Marty ran over and killed the old lady I remember Hynes conducted the investigation. What was the outcome?
ReplyDeleteThe last time Kassar skipped a meal, Joe Namath was still playing for the Jets
ReplyDelete6:58 after Hynes found Marty was justified in killing lady the strangest thing happened. The following year Hynes had his democrat campaign event at Bay Ridge Manor and no record of payment on Hynes campaign disclosure.
ReplyDeleteNot bad Marty. A few bottles of flat ginger ale and Hynes buries everything.
What? 'I am shocked- shocked- to find that there were campaign financing irregularities going on in some catering hall in Bay Ridge!'
ReplyDelete'Oh, please.... It was a little game they played. Somebody ran up the DA's bill, then somebody else tore up the DA's bill. It was very convenient.'
847, that particular Hynes-Golden connection is a man bites dog story.
ReplyDeleteThat Mary Golden might have allowed somebody else to hold a free political event at the BRM would surely stand out, and it begs the question, 'Why?'. When it comes to political events, Marty usually wants to make money or launder it at the Bay Ridge Manor, not give it away.
Your idea about Hynes' investigation & exoneration of Golden's fatal MVA as the quid pro quo is an interesting theory. Did anybody do any real reporting about it at the time? If not, this would still be a worth while news story in an election year for Marty.
Was the Hynes event at Golden's Bay Ridge Manor ever listed as an 'in kind' donation as opposed to an expenditure?
its all capanos fault
ReplyDeleteWhat did I miss? I just got back to Bay Ridge. I was in New Jersey planting Marty balloons on the beaches.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Nixon just dump Agnew? And just 3 weeks to go.
ReplyDeleteDoes Saperstein still believe hes getting 40%
ReplyDeletePedophiles often use balloons to lure children.
ReplyDeleteNow, Marty Golden's trademark gold balloons are proving to be a NYC area environmental hazard, washing up on the Jersey shorefront.
Golden balloons so wrong in so many ways.
Very odd that Marty has not had a competitive race since he beat Gentile in 2002. 16 years without a real race.
ReplyDeleteI think "very odd" people sit in front of computers and ponder this shit.
ReplyDeletevery odd that children start school and marty killed the cameras so he can speed around

ReplyDeletevery odd that Marty Golden's spokesman John Quaglione is retweeting fake news from Jessica Proud about a far away state senate race between Republican Bill Larkin and Democrat Jim Skoufis. It's some nonsense thought up by Jessica to make anybody who says anything about Larkin off-limits because Larkin is a 'decorated veteran'.
ReplyDeletemore odd is that there isn't any quote, description or link to what Skoufis is supposed to have done or said. That seems OK with Quags, because lying to protect incumbent Republican state senators is part of the Republican senate campaign playbook this year.
and it would be most odd if John Quaglione didn't agree that anything Republican Dan Donovan might have to say about decorated veteran and Democrat Max Rose should be looked upon as equally evil.

ReplyDeleteOf course he does. Him, Denaro and Liam are stumbling around Crown heights and just hit their 5,000th door!
I dont stumble but push me far enough and I will rumble.
ReplyDeleteRay Denaro (I dont blog anonymously)
I may mumble but push me far enough and I will stumble.
ReplyDeleteJohn Quaalude (I don't warg anonymously)
Next doors state senate race has a bit more fireworks than the girls of the stroll. Two guys coming out of Jesses Hamiltons office were just shot.
ReplyDeleteUlrich just roasted Capano. Epic tweet. Who would think that we’d see the day where fight back bay ridge and brannan twitter are defending Bob Capano?! We truly live in the greatest country in the world! #freecapano

ReplyDeleteNo it was 4 people shot at Hamiltons office. Of course the Bay Ridge stroll is the real action.
ReplyDeleteyes 12:32 they are losers.
ReplyDeleteBut Bob is the biggest loser of all.
Eric Ulrich has been a city councilman for a decade. Bob lost six elections in a decade.
ReplyDeleteQ: Whats the difference between Dietl & Sliwa
ReplyDeleteA: Dietl got his GED
Senator Jesse Hamilton issued a statement regarding the shootings. He said
ReplyDelete"I'm tired of shootings. I'm tired of going to funerals".
I'm convinced he is tired.
Ulrich is an irrelevant loser. He is in a district more Republican than Golden’s. Had to spend enormous money to beat a no name. If he ran in Bay Ride he would lose to anybody.
ReplyDeleteUlrich will be the next mayor.
ReplyDeleteUlrich looks like the guy who screws up at kinko
ReplyDeleteAfter diblasio in 2021 a Republican for mayor can win.
ReplyDeleteUlrich isn’t a Republican.

ReplyDeleteToday Quags Retweeted about State Senator Fred Akshar being at a 'Little Italy' event in Endicott with Marc Molinaro. That's further away than Bill Larkin's district. What's with all the state senate reports from around the state.
ReplyDeleteEither the Republicans are worried that they'll lose the state senate or Marty Golden's spokesperson John Quaglione is. If the GOP loses its majority status in the state senate, Marty loses about half hs staff - BOOM!
Maybe, Quags needs to be worried.
Erich Ulrich is one despicable human being. That's all.
ReplyDelete6:11 don’t disagree and you probably don’t even know the half of it.
ReplyDelete'South Brooklyn Red' is one despicable Twiter site. How proud the Quaglione and Seravelli families must be of their 'johns'.
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures on South Brooklyn Red
ReplyDeletecomic books have pictures
ReplyDeleteKassar has been counting the days until Mike Long retires for the past decade. The Lebanese are nothing if not patient. I did see Kassar stick a mirror under Long's nose once though so I think he may be getting anxious,
ReplyDeleteNo it was Mike putting a mirror under Kassars nose.
ReplyDeleteEach time I look at Martys campaign its the same hangers on from Hynes losing races in 2013. Except for a few dead people its the same crew that couldnt carry Bay Ridge for Hynes against Ken Thompson from Bed Stuy.
ReplyDelete11:20 not the same people at all. Maybe they support Marty but that crew was a special kind of clueless.
ReplyDelete9:24, Marty's current batch of supporters is also pretty clueless, lame too.
ReplyDelete
