"In a
late-2010
post on the
conservative
blog
Espresso
Pundit, Huppenthal,
writing
under the
pseudonym
Falcon9,
said that
America only
has room for
English. "We
all need to
stomp out
balkanization.
No spanish
radio
stations, no
spanish
billboards,
no spanish
tv stations,
no spanish
newspapers,”
he wrote
roughly a
month after
he was
elected.
“This is
America,

blogs as

outlets,
before he

John
Huppenthal
Humiliated
By High
School
Student
Journalist's
Video |
|
"No one's
ever accused
Republican
state
Senator John
Huppenthal of
being the
brightest
bulb in the
state GOP's
closet. You
might think
Huppenthal's
lowest
moment came
when he
scuffled
with a 78
year-old
Democratic
activist on
election day
2008 over a
yard sign.
He was
ultimately
found not
guilty of
sign
tampering
and theft,
but he ended
up looking
like a
sneaky,
aggro dolt
nonetheless.
In fact, the
hapless Huppenthal
actually
stated in
court that
he was
afraid the
senior
citizen lady
was going to
carjack him." |

"Phoenix
workers
made Huppenthal take
down
extra-large
signs he had
put up to
counter what
he told the
Ahwatukee
Foothills
News was a
"last minute
smear
campaign."
Huppenthal
later put
the signs
back up in
two pieces
to get
around
restrictions
on sign
size." |
