Whoa. The topic of this thread is: "What is appropriate etiquette when calling a radio political talk show, and how will such affect one's campaign." Let us please keep posts limited to this topic. Thank you so much.

Off to bed. Thread housekeeping and trash takeout in the morning.


Congressional candidate and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino went on a screaming, profanity-laced tirade on 08/21/2016 during a phone call with a POLITICO Florida reporter who asked the Republican to clarify his criticisms of a news story.

The dispute began early in the day on Twitter where Bongino bashed Naples Daily News reporters for writing “propagandists.” Asked by POLITICO reporter Marc Caputo about the error in the Naples Daily News story (http://bit.ly/2bWY0br) concerning Florida’s 19th Congressional District that ran that day, Bongino didn’t directly answer the question. (http://bit.ly/2bWYOwW)

Bongino asked Caputo to call and, after a long back and forth on Twitter, he gave his phone number after being told the conversation would be recorded (http://bit.ly/2boupVZ). Bongino hung up after losing his temper and shouting “shut the fuck up! … Go fuck yourself, you piece of shit! … Motherfucker!”

If you want to go straight to two minutes’ worth of F-bomb fireworks, go to 15:15

Did you just make a pun, Mac? "Politico" -vs- "PoliTACO"? Is Politico a hotbed of "Secret Mexicans"?

Sorta neat, I guess.

Well, he actually wasn't cursing at "leftwing hillary campaign workers at politaco." He was cursing at a radio talk show host, on the air. NOw there's nothing wrong with cursing out a radio talking head on the air... if you want to come across as a total douche and chance turning off a certain unknown percentage of voters to your campaign. I mean, sure, some (maybe even many) people will agree with the sentiments and also the pottymouth, and I'm sure he will pick up those votes... but everyone else? Chancy.
