Gee, it took me all of 3 seconds to "google" Adolfo Gonzalez Jr. and read the first entry that came up to find out this guy is associated with a radio shock jock program.

I tell you the truth: I have never seen this guy's page on MySpace. In this case, there's a certain form of mental collectivization based on entertainment dependency, signs of relative youth, limited phraseology, predictable and dull sense of humor, and the like--that sends up red flags, five times out of five.

All I needed was a typical, American Dad-style caricature of "Republicans," in the form of a dichotomy between so-called health freaks and so-called Republicans. Everything else flows naturally. People are just that dumb.

Dennis Miller, is that you?!?

I dont think this guy is a plant. I think this guy is just a joker and trying to get under people’s skin. I think he was incorrectly labeled a republican because his brand of his humor isnt what they want to associate themselves.

[digger48]

That got bumped up there through the night. But it’s right there on his MySpace page too.

His only reference to republicans was a tongue in cheek response like all of his others

The Spectator was a small circulation niche magazine well into the 1990s, it never did as well as National Review. Even National Review was only reaching about 150,00 people at this time off of a peak of about 250,000 during the mid 1980s at the time. Hardly a significant reach in terms of political marketing

Beside which your statement is wholly irrelevant to the point of the discussion. We were talking about Talk Radio and mass political marketing not small circulation, specialist opinion magazines read only by a few feverish political junkies.

My surprise isn’t that she got heckled, not that she was probably responsible, not that she was the victim of sexism...

I can’t believe she didn’t tear up and play the sympathy vote.

Sniff, sniff...

“We’ve made so much progress. Are we going back to those times?”

Inside job? Undoubtedly. They used terms that were obscure and dated before their birth. Who instructed them concerning what to say?

Rich is know for pulling these stunts.

What are you talking about? The guys who did this were named Adolfo Gonzalez and Nick Gemelli, not Rich.

[Tatze]

According to this site, they were plants.

Voters with an I.Q. in triple digits are not Hillary's target market.

Good point.

[Khepri]

My point is I believe you are overstating (though not by much) talk radio’s influence and understating grassroots, word of mouth, editorial writing, newsletters, and underground efforts in existence at the time.

Rush sky-rocketed because he provided a focal point. A focal point for a movement already in existence spred far and wide outside talk radio.

Long live FIDONET and the sea of “patriot” boards that were carrying the load back then...;)

My point is with this over-stating of talk radio’s importance (seeming being put out by those currently *on* talk radio) one would wonder how conservatives or Republicans ever won an office!

I think it disparaginges and understates the efforts of those that fought for Nixon and Reagan...

That’s my point about talk radio by citing channels outside of talk radio. I don’t believe it’s irrelevant by a long shot.

Dennis Miller, is that you?!?

Yeah, it's me, cha-cha. Ya got a problem with that, m'mkay? It's like I'm Plautus trying to direct a Wagnerian version of Les Mis here. It's totally crazy! (/Dana Carvey-esque imitation of Dennis Miller)

I am not Dennis Miller, and I am not Dennis. Dennis is a thirty-seven year old anarchosyndicalist peasant, currently working on a mud farm. I, on the other hand, do not work on a mud farm.

From Augusta golf

[Zeppelin]

I didnt know you werent CALLED Dennis.

Well I never bothered to find out, now did I?

(yes a fellow fan who has edited the quotes to fit the context) =P

[Das Outsider]

And I’m not old! ;)

[Das Outsider]

This is typical of the violence inherent in the system.

To be sure, I am not Dennis.

[xmission]

The guy Adolfo is from a local radio show. They probably sent him as a big joke thing...

[xmission]

Winds up that the radio show did the same thing in Augusta to someone protesting a men only golf course...

[xmission]

You guys beat me to it!

[rabidralph]

Maybe she’ll prevent a triple slaying at the local StarBucks.
