LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE SPITS IN FACE OF TALK SHOW HOST ON THE AIR

DFU listening to KABC in Los Angeles | 9-8-02 | Doug from Upland

The evening started innocently enough for Brian Whitman, Sunday evening talk show host on KABC in Los Angeles.

He had on his show four minor candidates running for governor of California. Three were on the phone and the fourth, Libertarian candidate Gary Copeland, was in studio.

The conversation eventually turned to illegal immigration. Copeland did not like Whitman's position and called him a racist. Although Whitman kept trying to answer, Copeland kept talking over him and would not let him speak.

Just as Whitman puts callers in "timeout" on his show when they won't let him have his say, he told the engineer to cut off Copeland's microphone. Copeland became incensed and started packing his things to leave the studio.

Then, in great FReeper tradition, Whitman told Copeland not to let the door hit his ass on the way out. He also called Copeland a lunatic.

Then the rain came. Copeland walked over to Whitman and spit in his face. Whitman couldn't believe it. Two others on the KABC staff couldn't believe it.

Whitman had the station call the police and is considering filing assault charges.

Poor Copeland. He may no longer be the Libertarian candidate for governor. An official high ranking representative of the party called in to Whitman and told him that Copeland would be receiving no more backing and they were going to see what they could do to take him off the ballot.

Now that was classic talk radio. The unbelievable happened. A candidate for governor actually showed himself to be a bigger jackass than Gray Davis. Davis has spit on the law but never on Whitman, at least not yet. Brian, get him in studio.

Or lack of ( too much ? ) correction, as a child and NEVER being made to be responsible for their own indescretions / errors.

[nopardons]

Oh, but they do ... verbally, with the written word. At least we can't get " wet ", or catch their germs this way. :-)

[ladyinred]

There seems to be a lot of, "You can't tell me what to do" in that party. That very much reminds me of a teenager who thinks he/she knows it all and has nothing to learn from those who are more shall we say, mature? :)

[nopardons]

Yes, and with the same attitude, of " I know more than you do "; which, of course , no child does, when it comes to his / her elders.

Think they'll hold their breath next??

[Roscoe]

That very much reminds me of a teenager

Who when asked to put out the garbage shouts, "Why do I have to do everything!?"

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I'd hate to see what their computer screens look like

Better than X-42's, no doubt! How is that for a gross-out.

[nopardons]

Eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ! :-P

[Mo1]

A big ... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Thank you, thank you, always glad to help.

[nopardons]

GMTA ! :-)

[nopardons]

I don't know if you " helped " ; however, you aroused the same reaction, from two LADIES . That should tell you something. LOL

[Mo1]

Oh baby

[rockfish59]

Spitting cobra!

[rockfish59]

Spit like a man!

[Thumper1960]

Oh boy, here we go -- all Libertarians are spitters ...

Not true... some swallow...

Oh?

In that case, how're the hemorrhoids?

Kneel down and spread'em, Demoncrat screw.

doug from upland asks:   " What is Copeland's favorite pitch????? "

"Vote for me or I'll exercise my 9th Amendment right to spit in your face."

[wimpycat]

Don't be too sure about that.

Kneel down and spread'em, Demoncrat screw.

Ha! Pretty funny! I'll have to remember that the next time a libertarian candidate helps a democrap get elected...
