Sorry, that was a trick question.....
The Brooklyn GOP hasn't had anything close to a fresh coat of paint in over a generation --- just about the time Marty Golden first ran for the NYC Council in the last decade of the last century of the last millennium in 1997-1998 --- that's twenty-three or twenty-four years ago
How bad has it gotten ??? Well, I have it on fairly good authority that Beer Can Bob Capano is telling folks that he is almost confident (note: not "almost certain") that he can beat Brian Fox in a primary for the GOP City Council line for the 43rd Council District --- if it actually comes down to that --- he even bandied about that Ghorra & Co. were terrified at seeing the submission of large numbers of GOP signatures on certain petitions
Don't be fooled --- Capano is anything but a fresh coat of paint for the Brooklyn GOP --- he has already signaled that what he is offering is not fresh paint, but instead, good old-fashioned "White Wash" --- At a time when Republicans are being buffeted by false charges of "Jim Crow" and racism from all sides, don't be surprised if you see a healthy dose of the real thing coming out of the joint Capano-Sliwa campaigns in the upcoming GOP primaries
Now, I'm not ready to call Capano and whoever is allied with and/or supporting him a bunch of racists..... YET.....
However, let's see what happens next.....
AN OFFER TO BOB CAPANO: THE "OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTHE "BAN" ON BOB CAPANO'S COMMENTS WILL BE >>> PARTIALLY <<< LIFTED TO THE EXTENT THAT WE WILL PUBLISH ALL HIS COMMENTS IF THEY DISPLAY HIS "NAME/URL" IN THE PUBLISHED MATERIAL AND IF THE MATERIAL IS NOT PATENTLY SLANDEROUS
That certainly seems fair to Beer Can Bob Capano --- and everybody else.....
Sure Gale. Make nice with Bob if it suits you.
ReplyDeleteBut you'll never be able to explain away Jim Eagle.
RESPONSE: THE "DECONSTRUCTIVE PRESIDENT" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:51 PM"
"JIM CROW" LAWS WERE ORIGINALLY "ANTI-JIM CROW" LAWS --- THEIR NAME REFERRED TO A "COLORED CHARACTER" IN MANY OF THE POPULAR MINSTREL SHOWS IN THE CIVIL WAR AND POST-CIVIL WAR ERA --- THE "JIM CROW" CHARACTER WAS BASED ON A COMPOSITE OF COMICAL SLAVE IMAGES AND IT IS ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS D. RICE, WHO PERFORMED USING IT UP AND DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI, NORTH AND SOUTH, AND THE BIG CITIES EAST AND WEST, INCLUDING NEW YORK.....
WHERE THOMAS RICE RECEIVED HIS INSPIRATION IS MORE THE RESULT OF SPECULATION THAN DOCUMENTATION..... ONE PURPORTED SOURCE WAS THAT IT CAME FROM A SONG THAT HAD BEEN POPULAR AMONG FIELD SLAVES IN THE SOUTH..... MORE LIKELY, RICE'S CHARACTER WAS BASED UPON ONE OR MORE OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE MET DURING HIS EARLIER TRAVELS ON THE MISSISSIPPI
THE "JIM CROW LAWS" HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THOMAS D. RICE OR THE "JIM CROW" CHARACTERS IN THE MINSTREL SHOWS --- THE EARLIEST WERE PASSED AFTER THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR, AND RICE WAS LONG DEAD --- THE LAWS WERE A LIST OF OCCUPATIONS, ACTIVITIES AND LOCATIONS FROM WHICH "JIM CROWS" WERE PROHIBITED, IN STATES AND LOCALITIES, MOSTLY IN THE SOUTH, BUT ALSO IN SOME NORTHERN LOCALES
As for "Jim Eagle" --- that was just stupid.....
Did Beer Can Bob submit petitions?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF BOB CAPANO THINKS AND SAYS THAT HE DID ???" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:06 AM"
AFTER ALL: HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A PROFESSOR; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A JOURNALIST; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A DEPUTY MAYOR; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A BUSINESS EXECUTIVE; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS A "CHAIRMAN" OF SOMETHING POLITICAL; HE THINKS AND SAID THAT HE IS FRIENDS OF A BILLIONAIRE >>> SO WHY CAN'T HE THINK AND SAY THAT HE FILED 3000 SIGNATURES AND THAT HE WILL BEAT BRIAN FOX IN A GOP PRIMARY FOR CITY COUNCIL AND THAT GHORRA AND HIS FOLKS WERE TERRIFIED AT THE PROSPECT ?????
After all, it all helps make BEER CAN BOB CAPANO feel good about himself. And isn't that just as important as filing petitions ?
What is Ghorra afraid of on certain petitions??
ReplyDeleteWhen bob wins what will you say???
ReplyDeleteWatch your back McCall
The other day I was shopping for groceries at Bohack and as I proceeded east on aisle 3 I was stuck in traffic due to a broken glass jar of Tang. People tried to go around the mess only to get orange stuff all over the soles of the latest hush puppies. It was a problem. The solutio most of us take for granted.
ReplyDeleteIt was at that moment I realized who we needed in the city council.
Bob Capano is already thanking people, is Brian Fox thanking anybody?
ReplyDeletecapano-fox-justin
ReplyDeletedo you need to weigh in at 350 to run?
I see Liam is trotting out the old race horse Marty Golden for a big fund-rasier for Brian Fox at the Bean Post. I guess COVID is over?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "WHEN BOB WINS WHAT ??? WHAT WILL I SAY ?????" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:10 AM"
YOUR COMMENT RAISED TWO POINTS:
THE FIRST CONCERNED THE UNLIKELY POSSIBILITY OF BEER CAN BOB CAPANO WINNING SOMETHING AND THIS BLOG'S REPONSE TO THAT --- WELL, LET'S JUST CROSS THAT BRIDGE IF BOB EVER WINS ANYTHING.....
THE SECOND INVOLVED "MC CALL" WATCHING HIS BACK --- AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL HE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO REPORTING ON THE WEATHER IN DAYTONA BEACH AND MAKING SURE THAT HE GETS TO HIS FAVORITE HAUNTS ALONG THE BEACH AND INLAND WITH HIS USUAL FREQUENCY --- AS FAR AS WATCHING HIS BACK, HE'S SATISFIED THAT HE HAS ENOUGH OF A VARIED "COUNTERFORCE" AVAILABLE THAT ANY COUNTERSTRIKE WOULD BE DEVESTATING.....
Contrary to some of the noxious, but quite vaporous and vapid implications of some commenters on this blog, we still have plenty of friends all over the political spectrum, many still in Brooklyn..... And, oh, the stories that they tell >>> some old, some new, some borrowed, some blue.....
Brian Fox for City Council is officially kicking things off at LoneStar Bar & Grill April 25th. Join fellow Republicans, Community Leaders and Special Guest Former Senator Marty Golden as we come together to help out Brian, support a great local business and begin the work of TAKING BACK OUR CITY GOVERNMENT!
ReplyDeleteWho's with me?
Capano is telling people everywhere that he is going to save the Brooklyn Republican Party.
ReplyDeleteThe question begs, save it from what? This is another attempted third party coup, like what Bob did in 2018, when he worked with Goundardes and Brannan to beat Marty Golden.
Look at the thinly disguised disrespect that Capano still has for Marty Golden to this very day.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:22 AM"
YOU KNOW THE "LONE STAR B&G" IS VERY CONVENIENTLY LOCATED FOR SOMEBODY THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE, WHO STILL SPENDS SOME OF HIS TIME IN STATEN ISLAND WHEN HE'S NOT DOWN IN BEAUTIFUL DAYTONA BEACH
WHO KNOWS !!! MAYBE, THERE MIGHT BE ONE OR TWO MORE SPECIAL GUESTS AT THE BRIAN FOX GET TOGETHER ON APRIL 25TH --- WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING
It'll all be done with a wink and a nod, and the right pointer finger tapping the side of the nose.....
CLARIFICATION: THE "MAYBE BOBBY BABY WITH THE SMALL HANDS AND FEET, AND THE BIG BEER CAN IN A BAG, DIDN'T UNDERSTAND OUR OFFER....." EDITION
ReplyDeleteIF HE WANTS HIS SPIN-SPIN-SPIN LIKE A DERVISH COMMENTS PUBLISHED >>> "... ALL HIS COMMENTS [MUST] DISPLAY HIS "NAME/URL" IN THE PUBLISHED MATERIAL AND ... THE MATERIAL [MUST NOT BE] PATENTLY SLANDEROUS
If, for example, Capano wants to pump out this kind of threatening bilge, "[It w]ill be fun when Sliwa comes [and] gets a hero's welcome since Liam is with Mateo. After all the Brooklyn GOP endorsed Capano's [candidate] Sliwa over Liam's (Mateo). [It w]ill be fun to see Sliwa and Capano come & take over "Liam's event" for Brian Fox. Lol...." --- then BCBC will have to own it.
Then, that saves us at this blog having to tag Capano's always trite and often mendacious material, as well as not have to correct his typos, like the quoted material above.
How does the NYPD and the PBA feel about Bob Capano's advocacy of universal "concealed carry" permits in NYC, and Curtis Sliwa's plan to defund, and largely deauthorize and disestablish the NYPD Transit Division?
ReplyDeleteIf Bob Capano announced that he were running for City Council, and a tree fell down deep in a forest with nobody close enough to hear it, which would be noticed less?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a related follow-up question: If Bob Capano fell down where everybody could see it, would more people laugh than the number that cheered?
No forest in brooklyn
ReplyDeleteIf Bob Capano announced that he were running for city council then the same thing would happen the last 3 or 4 times Bob ran for city council. He'll lose.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "SANGFROID VS. SCHADENFREUDE" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:13 PM"
THOSE THAT MIGHT BE CHARACTERIZED AS HAVING "SANGFROID" WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO LAUGH --- WHEREAS THOSE WITH THE MORE PATHLOLOGICAL, "SCHADENFREUDE" PERHAPS WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO CHEER
Watching the event in cool detachment would allow the moment of the moment to tickle us with the humor embodied in the comic spectacle of Bob's otherwise undesired and unexpected gravitational descent.....
On the other hand, those that would enjoy, feel elated or look forward to Bob's comeuppance would heartily applaud the hopefully painful playing-out of such destiny or Karma.
21 Comments and most are about Bob Capano - what a waste of words. He moved upstate. Let them deal with him.
ReplyDeleteAs for Brooklyn GOP there are only crickets...
Just look at its website, social media, etc - crickets...
Golden KILLED it; Kassar took what was left after Ghorra bent over for him...
We have the same old, same old. same old. Liam, Quags, Bruno, Capano, Sliwa...
All have lost at least 1 race, most many races...
All have no shot at winning another race...
The Brooklyn GOP is doomed...redistricting soon will be the final nail in that coffin.
The Fox upset will make Brian a rising star.
ReplyDeleteJustin will be outfoxed !!

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:00 PM" & "... AT 11:43 PM"
"... AT 7:00 PM," THERE ARE ONE OR TWO TECHNICAL INACCURACIES IN YOUR PRESENTATION --- HOWEVER, YOU ARE COMPLETELY CORRECT IN YOUR CONCLUSIONS >>> "... ALL [THE BROOKLYN GOP CANDIDATES] HAVE NO SHOT AT WINNING ANOTHER RACE... THE BROOKLYN GOP IS DOOMED... REDISTRICTING SOON WILL BE THE FINAL NAIL IN THAT COFFIN...."
"... AT 11:43 PM," YOUR COMMENT IS CERTAINLY MORE ASPIRATIONAL THAN IT IS PREDICTIVE..... HOWEVER, THOUGH ASPIRATIONAL AND EVEN HOPEFUL, IT FAILS TO BE INSPIRATIONAL, BECAUSE IT IS SO DIVORCED FROM ANYTHING IN THE REAL WORLD >>> THOUGH ONE MIGHT ARGUE, WHERE THERE IS LIFE THERE IS HOPE, THERE SIMPLY IS NO LIFE LEFT IN THE BROOKLYN GOP >>> IT FLATLINED IN 2018; AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO REVIVE IT FAILED IN 2020 [PROVED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STATEN ISLANDERS THAT RAN IN BROOKLYN AND GOT NO REAL HELP THERE]
It's all over but the whimpering at the very end... no matter what anybody says or does.....
