No one really likes Meg Whitman, for numerous reasons. So she got the bright idea to open up an office in East L.A. to ‘target’ the Latino community. Frankly, if you’re ‘Latino’ and are voting for Whitman, then your off your rocker. Her office has been picketed since day one and almost once a week by unions, orgs or people that just plain don’t like her. It’s become a regular thing, so much so that her office staff have started counter-protesting. It’s quite hilarious.
For the better part, her staff has mostly resorted to yelling over protesters as they are interviewed by media or chanting. Usually ending with yelling back and forth by both sides. The workers also ‘impose’ themselves in front of other protesters, invading their personal space and getting physical with out provocation. This almost led to some fights. They’re also adamant about ‘getting off private property.’ They even got a security guard because the office has been vandalized and what not by random strangers. They’ve also resorted to using the siren noise on megaphones and connecting ipods to speakers to make air pollution. The workers also like to photograph and record the protesters, like that’s gonna do anything.
Lastly, they resort to calling the 5-0 to scare people into thinking they’re going to get in trouble for exercising their first amendment rights. The cops can’t really say or wanna do anything. They’re just they’re for show. Most of the time, I’m watching everything happen and that Monty Python music plays in my head making me laugh out loud. It’s interesting to see her office staff take action against all these protests. It sure makes for an interesting day and conversations, hahaha. So, in closing, her office is gonna get protested a buncha times before these elections are over. Her stupid ads are even on pandora and gmail. GMAIL!!!! Caramba. Meg Whitman will drive California to hell in a hand basket. My name is El Random Hero and I approve of this message.
Ha ha! I approve of your approval!
The only places Meg Whitman could go without facing protest is rich areas. If that doesn’t give anyone an indication of who she represents, nothing will.
“Meg Whitman will drive California to hell in a hand basket”
how dumb are you? You think the current status of CA is no where near this hell you are worried about? And you think its currently good for Latinos? How will a broke, indebted, lost CA of the future be good for anyone???
I’m really not sure who i’m voting for and have no strong desire for either of them, but to think Meg Whitman is the source of a dismal future is pretty dumb and shows how clueless you are about the mess the state is in now.
“They even got a security guard because the office has been vandalized and what not by random strangers”
…nothing like a good old fashion “progressive” protest.
idiot.
Hey Random, who should I vote for then? This guy?

Tell me how Moonbeam won’t?
He had his chance, he failed (even admiting it on national tv).

LOL. Yeh, that’s why you’re so defensive of Whitman…
I liked it when Brown was dating Linda Ronstadt (1970s)and during stormy weather, he always had the reserves sand bag around her house in Malibu. Maybe his love of Mexicans will extend to the eastside.
I’m glad Meg has given us a place to protest her. She’s very thoughtful like that.
I talked to one of her staff from the east la office and i said…”Meg Whitman…the one that looks like Rocky from the movie MASK?”
they smiled and proceeded with their spiel….
I closed with..”She’s a billionaire yet she cant pay a plastic surgeon to fix that huge forehead..really seriously?”
I didnt hate her in the beginning but i do now.
I guess i have no other real choice than to vote for Jerry Brown, i mean if i really want my vote to count and matter.
ok thanks bye.
“the one that looks like Rocky from the movie MASK?â€
“she cant pay a plastic surgeon to fix that huge forehead..really seriously?â€
“I didnt hate her…but i do now”.
-so hateful, and might I add, shallow, and vain, those Moonbeam supporters. Because when it comes down to the issues, forehead size is the dead giveaway right!
C’est la vie, I suppose.
bueno gracias adios.
i was being bitchy and witty
and anyways it is my opinion and they are subjective and open to interpretation.
when it comes to the issues Meg Whitman has no experience- she herself has said her voting record is atrocious.
And this housekeeper incident recently really showed what type of person she really is.
Actions speak louder than words.
I have nothing in common with a “Billionaire” as does 99% of the population of California.
She does not have my best interests in mind….she wants the power and title as “California’s first female Governor”.
She is an elitist trying to be “OG”.
She has bought (spent like $165 million?) her way up to 2nd place in this governors race.
So im not sorry if i hurt the feeling of your buddy Meg “butter face” Whitman.
– Los Ricos tambien lloran 🙂
“Any Latino that votes for Meg is off their rocker” ..YUUUP agree 1120%, I guess my vote goes to anyone NOT having Pete Wilson as their campaign staff!!!!!!!
Sellouts.
