GOPer: 'We All Need To Stomp Out' Spanish TV
Stations, Newspapers |
|
"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, speak English.” |

John Huppenthal, Serial Wikipedia "Editor" |
|
“Before he was indulging in
sock puppetry on left and right wing blogs as well
as more traditional media outlets, before he was
Superintendent of Public Instruction, John
Huppenthal was selectively editing his Wikipedia
bio, as well as the bios of current Secretary of
State
Ken Bennett and a former political opponent,
State Senator Slade Meade, who Huppenthal defeated
in the 2004 senate primary." |

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." |

Senator John Huppenthal Clashed With
Opponent's Supporter,
Witness Says |
|
"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." |
