Nice job, Nathan Imhoff. You’ve got them rattled.
It’s clear that Gitlin and his group are on their PR campaign, and of course using the media to create exposure for their agenda.
Notice how Gitlin tries to turn Imhoff’s Op-Ed into a media opportunity for himself?
The southern California “Save Our State” chapter shut down November 2009. And so the northern California chapter has taken over the entire state.
And they are looking for press. These Nativist Extemist groups have very small memberships, so they have created a network of like-minded groups to work together to promote their agendas.
They have asked anyone within a five-hour drive of Santa Clarita to attend Saturday’s rally.
Also, notice how these rallys are held in front of the nice, safe Sheriffs station. On city land, no less. It looks like the city and the county condone these activities.
By the way, Imhoff’s satire on the moustaches was apt; whenever I read about Minutemen and the like, I always think of rootin’ tootin’ Yosemite Sam, shootin’ up the town.
