Now that our former blogger Claudio Gallegos has returned to the OC blogosphere I thought this would be a good opportunity to revisit some of his past work here at the Orange Juice. Without further ado, here are Claudio’s greatest hits:
- One of our proudest moments was when Gustavo Arellano selected the Orange Juice as the Best Local Blog in Orange County. Claudio memorialized that moment here.
- Claudio also tracked down the secrets of the John Birch Society here.
- Tom Daly has been in the news since uber Republican consultant John Lewis endorsed him. In this post Claudio proclaimed the “Latinos for Daly.”
- In this post Claudio went after Costa Mesa Republican Eric Bever, who is on the Costa Mesa City Council.
- In this post Claudio goes after GOP darling Ann Coulter.
- And in this post Claudio compares Costa Mesa Councilman Allan Mansoor to the President of Iran and to Adolf Hitler. A Claudio classic!
- Claudio wrote a three part post about the confessions of a Westside Costa Mesa improver. Read part one here. This post was one of many that hammered the infamous Martin Millard.
- And in this post Claudio linked Mansoor to Millard.
- In this post Claudio compared Mansoor and his GOP colleagues, Wendy Leece and Eric Bever, to Hitler, Goering and Goebbels!
- In this post Claudio said that the Hull-Richter’s were Tan Nguyen supporters.
- In this post Claudio bashes Libertarian bloggers Steven Greenhut and John Seiler for their views regarding liberal Catholics.
- And in this post Claudio started a long series where he took on a Biola professor and made the argument that Right wingers are coarsening America.
welcome home, Claudio.
More pot stirring Art?
You may be surprised that I, as one conservative, have no problem with Claudio, or anyone, calling out genuine nut jobs – whether on the left or the right.
junior,
Pot stirring? This post was meant as a homage to our former blogger. If you saw something else that was just your own bile rising.
Matt/Jubal said:
“Claudio and I don’t agree on much politically, but we both value political discourse and debate centered on issues, actions and facts, rather than personalities, vitriol and half-truths, and I’m hopefully confident his new blog venture will reflect the spirit of civil, cooperative competition that used to characterize the OC blogosphere.”
I wonder which blog these comments were aimed at? Any ideas Art?
junior you still here? I thought you left weeks ago.
You should take that “sunny diposition” of yours to the new blog in town. They’ll be thrilled to have someone like you as a regular.
Hey maybe that’s what “sunny d” stands for.
junior,
I guess Matt hasn’t read Claudio’s posts where he compares elected GOP city council members to Hitler and his comrades.
Or perhaps Matt has early dementia and he forgot about those posts. Luckily we provided links above so he could refresh his fading memory.
Art,
You contradict yourself – from your denial of pot stirring – to turning up the flame to “boil over.” Are you a little stressed?
junior,
Please help me understand something. You said you were done with this blog weeks back and yet you are still here. Why?
I thought you were taking a stand based on your principles. What happened that you have chosen to ignore the stance you took?
Sunny D is to blogging like Sunny Delight is to Orange Juice. A poor imitation filled with sugar and other chemnicals not good for your brain.
have you guys seen that Thomas Gordon is now blogging at sunny d? isnt that guys a full blown jannie?
he wrote a post about the recall of madison nguyen in san jose which janet was fully involved in.
I guess we can dispell thise rumos that claudio is a full blown jannie along wioth is buddy Phil Becerra. How did the dpoc sink to such a level? can anyone tell me?
