The case against Tom Bennett

Many of you have asked me what ever happened to your mission to have Comcast discipline Tom Bennett, co-host (and Vice President of Elise "deer in headlights" Marciano's anti-immigrant organization) John McGowan for comments made on the BigT's Talk and Variety show.

Since it's been a while since I've commented on Danbury's biggest bigot, I thought it would be useful to recap Bennett's greatest hits.

First, lets go back and take a look at Comcast's local access rules and regulations...

From the Comcast Community Access Channel 23, Rules and regulations (effective 9.23.04).

Section C: (Community Access Producer Responsibilities), paragraph five.

The Community Access Producer must adhere to all of the Community Access rules and guidelines stated herein and is responsible for ensuring that the program and the individuals involved in the production adhere to the rules and policies as set forth in this document.

Section E: Program Content: numbers 3-5.

3. No libelous, slanderous or illegal material.

4. No obscene material, sexually explicit conduct, or material soliciting or promoting unlawful conduct.

5. No material which incites violent or harmful acts on other persons.

Page 20: Definition of Obscene or indecent material.

Any material in a program and/or presentation which would subject the producers, suppliers thereof and/or the company to prosecution or penalty under local, state, or federal law for the presentation of obscene or indecent material.

Section K: Violations, penalties, and appeals.

In order to effectively enforce all Community Rules, a penalty system for violations has been established. Violations of the rules will result in restrictions being imposed on Community Access producers who are responsible for the actions of their talent and crew members. Comcast will issue warnings and/or suspensions for either major or minor violations, and will do so verbally and/or in writing stating the nature of the violation and the penalty imposed.

1. Major violations of the rules governing Community Access will result in an immediate 90-day suspension of use of the Community Access facilities.

Now...here's a recap of Bennett violating his contract.

Violation 1, 5/04/07: Material soliciting or promoting unlawful conduct: "I think there should be snipers in the windows"

---

Violation 2, 05.11.07: Sexually explicit language: Would you allow an adult to talk to YOUR DAUGHTER like this?
Tom Bennett: Why would you okay a girl...why would you okay another girl eating another girl or another girl sexing another girl? [...] How would you approve that?

15 year old caller: Excus...

Bennett: How would you approve a man sucking another man's p-? How would you approve that?

15 year old caller: Excuse me, excused me, by the way I'm 15 so I appreciate that you don't say those things.

Bennett: Hey I have a doctor right here with me. I'm talking medical terms. I'm talking medical terms here. You called me, I didn't call you.

15 year old caller: That's not medical terms.

Bennett: "penis" is not a medical term?

---

Violation 3, 5/18/07: Obscene material, material soliciting or promoting unlawful conduct, incite violent or harmful acts on other persons: Bennett and co-hosts (including Elise Marciano's anti-immigrant group Vice President John McGowan) call for people to shoot members of the immigrant community.

Now, remember, this is just a small sample of the over-the-top hate-speech Bennett, McGowan, and the coward behind the camera named "Bones" said on the air...I haven't the time or energy to post more of his garbage from the last three years.

Now, remember, this is just a small sample of the over-the-top hate-speech Bennett, McGowan, and the coward behind the camera named "Bones" said on the air. During this whole time, Bennett issues a laundry list of racial slurs and threats against me online. Here's a transcript of an exchange I had with the bigot on Youtube clip his sexually explicit conversation with a 15 year-old.

bigtprd
As anyone can see and hear, it was a setup by ctblogger. Also I did not call her she called the show telling the screener she was over eighteen. No rules have been broken, all within guidelines and approved. There is a nob called on off they put them on TVs. Ctblogger thank you for our ratings have gone up 30%.

[...]

ctblogger
1. Your so-called "screener" never ask for anyone age.

2. I don't have to "set" you up. You have no problem putting your foot in your mouth without my help.

3. She called the show yet it was YOU who used the term "eating" which is inappropriate at any age.

4. There is a contract which Comcast requires you to sign and you choose to ignore.

5. Comcast does not keep ratings.

6. Your disgusting.

[...]

TheGeckoNinja
isnt the appropriate term "having oral sex"? instead of "eating out"?

[...]

bigtprd
Yeah, Oral sex is kewl, But I do so like using eating out, It has more effect, like it is discusting, filthy, shameful, rotten, I could go on.

[...]


bigtprd
You really believe I'm racist? well I'm not. Just because an asshole say's it does not mean it's true. Nogger has the skin problem. You just don't want it that way. Because he is black he wants to be Al sharpton. And Knowing that should wake you up.

[...]

bigtprd
And nig you don't get it. I don't give a shit ass hole. Your a fucking scumbag that will get his turn. Gee, and I'm being kewl, Not even upset. And your a peice of shit. Now you must think were friends calling me Tom. You slime, you don't know me. Oh, by the way Comcast has many more letters of love the big T then your hate shit. Call Dave he'll tell you, LOL. And your day's also.

[...]

ctblogger
No Tom, the only asshole is you and your use of profane, indecent language on Comcast WILL come to an end. The public in Danbury have spoken in force to Comcast and your days on public access will come to an end due to your own fat mouth.

[...]


bigtprd
You gonna stop me here to nogger, or is that niglor,

bigtprd
Get it straight moron! We are from from being buddy or buddy's. scare you! why are you in the dark? Hey they can see you. oh, when you smile.

bigtprd
I can only hope that it will happen. I win no matter what. I'm none of what yopu claim you moron. If any of you out here do not use any type of profanty do as you will. The ones that use any type of profanity think before you condem Me. I use profanity in a tasteful way to make a point. Watch on google and then make your own decision. Don't be a follower of evil which ctblogger is.

[...]

ctblogger
"I use profanity in a tasteful way to make a point."

Thanks for admitting the obvious...that you use profanity against the rules and regulations of Comcast.

You should stop with the messages while you're ahead..you're digging a hole for yourself.

[...]

bigtprd
I have nothing to loose. I can go on for the rest of my life. What do you have? I have done that frigan show and if it is over then so be it. I will go on! And sooner or latter we meet some were, oh well! I get I what I want. And you will get what ever.

[...]

ctblogger
And sooner or latter we meet some were, oh well!

Is that suppose to "scare" me or something..too funny.

Keep digging that hole buddy...

[...]

bigtprd
You are for Homo's and illegal Immigrants and that is the only reason you are attacking me with lies. Your black and you think that is going to get you somewhere by using your racist bull crap. Let me tell you spook man, it won't. Again I say, I have had 28 wonderful years on our talkshow. If it comes to a stop, oh well, I'll be a happy camper. But, you'll still be black with a attitude towards whites.

[...]

ctblogger
"Let me tell you spook man"

-nuff said.

While defending his use of profanity on Comcast, while dishing out the laundry list of racial slurs and threats, Bennett jumps on his television show and continues his foul-mouthed racial rant (I thought the racial slur "spook" went out of fashion in the 60s).






I asked readers to complain to Comcast about the material on Bennett's show and on June 13th, the cable company issued the Big(o)T the following written warning:


Knowing that this type of programming was inappropriate for the nine o'clock time slot, and that Bennett would ultimately ignore the warning, during the summer, I went before the cable advisory board and requested that the members deem Bennett's show "adult programming" and move the show from the current time-slot to some time after 10 P.M., which is called the safe harbor zone.

After presenting video clips from Bennett's show, the board agreed that Bennett's show was adult content and advised Comcast to move his show to a later time slot.

After a month, Comcast still allowed Bennett's show to be broadcast at the 9 P.M. time slot. Upon reading on my situation, The Fairfield Weekly did an article on the entire matter and exposed Bennett's hate-speech to the entire state.

After the article was released, Comcast pulled the plug on Bennett's live show, moved his brand of broadcasting to 11:30 P.M., took away Bennett's privilege to take live calls in real time, and basically destroyed the essence of his show.

Now, that's basically brings us up to date on what I've covered on Bennett to date. After his show was moved, Bennett had a hissy fit and quit the show. Bennett's anti-immigrant whack pack friends McGowan, and James "the host with the most LIES" Yorks filled in and, along with Lynn Waller and Al "don't allow this person to teach your kids" Bruhn, whined about Bennett's show being moved and uttered a laundry list and lies and half truths (we'll deal with the anti-immigrant insanity of Waller at a later time).

Here's a small sample of Waller's comments. It's important to note that Waller is a member of the cable advisory board and the ONLY member who defended Bennett.


Again, I'll comment on Waller at a different time...let's stick to Bennett.

Thinking twice about things, Bennett made a return to the air with what he considered "a vengeance" but with many other considered "a threat" against my life, Bennett ignores the fact that he received a written warning, which stated that one more violation would result in a 90 day suspension and violates his contract yet again.

The next week, Bennett goes one step further in his madness, and ignoring the fact that he received a written warning, which stated that one more violation would result in a 90 day suspension, Bennett once again advocated members of the immigrant community be killed.








Now, I decide to take the high road and inform the Danbury police department of Bennett's remarks and take legal action. Now, I'm not going to talk about any possible legal action against Bennett, his defenders, or defaming comments made about me at this point for obvious reasons so lets move on.

Bennett's threats continued for weeks with claims of suing the cable advisory board, and Comcast for what only he considered a "violation of his civil rights" and went to the next scheduled cable advisory board meeting to bulling the members to advise Comcast to move his show back to it's 9:00 time slot.

Not letting Bennett off the hook, for legal reasons, I informed the board in advance that I would be presenting Bennett's recent remarks and take the necessary steps to have Comcast suspend Bennett for 90 days.

For your viewing pleasure, here's Bennett making a complete ass of himself, and your truly tearing Bennett and McGowan to shreds.

Round 1: Tom Bennett makes himself look like a fool.

Round 2: John McGowan looks like a bigger fool.


Round 3: Yours truly debunking Bennett's misinformaiton (NOTE: Don't worry, there was an undercover officer who was a heartbeat from throwing Bennett to the ground and arresting him if he place one finger on me).

Boughton-Galante draft post

Coincidence?


Hartford Courant 10.12.07

Indicted Danbury garbage executive James Galante was arrested Friday
on charges related to making nearly $40,000 in illegal campaign contributions to
state Senators Louis DeLuca and David Cappiello, as well as Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton.

[...]

In cases of bundled donations, individual contributors typically exceed the
legal $1,000 contribution limit by passing money through third parties. In
Galante's case, he is accused of contributing $15,000 each to DeLuca and
Cappiello in 2002 and $8,000 to Boughton in
2003. People familiar with the case said he passed the money in $1,000
increments through employees of his various trash businesses, their family
members or their friends.

Boughton acknowledged Friday that one of his political actions committees,
People Over Politics, got money from associates of Galante in 2003.

Sources said that eight, $1,000 checks from
either Galante employees, friends or associates were donated to People Over
Politics on Oct. 26, 2003. Some of them were then style="font-weight:bold;">reimbursed or told that the donations would help
Galante's trash hauling business, which is based in Danbury.

You can view the People over Politics PAC, which has the contributions in
question by clicking here. As you read the report, there are only eight people who gave
the maximum 1,000 dollars and their names, as well as the record date of the
contribution, are listed below (take note of the name DiNardo):

(Name, Date of contribution)


Shirley Giglio: 10.26.03

Paul DiNardo: 10.26.03

Joe Walkovich: 10.26.03

Frank Russo: 10.26.03

Susan Seri: 10.26.03

Anthony DiNardo: 10.26.03

Jackie DiNardo: 10.30.03

Robert DiNardo: 10.23.03

You're with me here...okay, lets continue.



Let's now take a look at Mayor Boughton's re-election report for the April 2003 and take note the the following people who gave 1,000 around the same time period.

(Name, Date of contribution)
Maria Rullo: 01.15.03

Nina DiNardo: 01.14.03

Joe Walkovich: 01.18.03

Susan Seri: 01.15.03

Paul DiNardo: 1.17.03

Coincidence?



The only person that has nothing in common with those listed in the October
statement is Maria Rullo...until you look a bit closer.

Kevin J. O'Connor, United States Attorney for the
District of Connecticut, announced that MARIA "Mary" RULLO, age 45, [...]
waived indictment and pleaded guilty today before Senior United States District
Judge Ellen Bree Burns in New Haven to one felony count of filing a false tax
return.

According to documents filed with the Court and statements made in court, RULLO
failed to report alimony income on personal tax returns she filed with the
Internal Revenue Service. During the course of an investigation, the IRS
obtained an affidavit signed by RULLO in 2003 in which she stated she received
$40,000 in alimony, an amount that she omitted from her tax return for that
year.

RULLO has agreed to pay $34,436 to the IRS for material omissions to her returns
filed for the 2001 through 2004 tax years.

Judge Burns has scheduled sentencing for October 19, 2007, at which time RULLO
faces a maximum term of imprisonment of three years and a fine of up to
$100,000.

RULLO was released on a $25,000 non-surety bond and was ordered not to have any
direct or indirect contact with the defendants and witnesses named in United
States v. Ianniello, et al, Case Number 3:06cr161(EBB).

Lets take a look at Case Number 3:06cr161, United States v. Ianniello, et al. and
see which witness and defendants Rullo should have no direct or indirect contact with.

The defendant Matthew Ianniello is the 86 year old former acting
boss of the Genovese Organized Crime Family. Save for a period of
approximately six years in the 1990s when he was incarcerated on racketeering
charges, Mr. Ianniello has for decades served the Genovese family well as one of
its top “earners.” At this late junction in his career, Mr. Ianniello faces in
this case a term of incarceration of 24 to 30 months and a fine of $4,000 to
$40,000. For the reasons that follow, the government respectfully submits that a
sentence at the high end of this range – to be served concurrent to a 15 month
sentence recently imposed in another district – is appropriate.

BACKGROUND
On December 20, 2006, the defendant pleaded guilty to
Count Two of the Indictment, which charges that he and others engaged in a
racketeering conspiracy designed to control Connecticut’s refuse industry,
and Count Sixty-Two, which charges him with conspiring to defraud the United
States Revenue Service (IRS). See 18 U.S.C. § 1962(d) (Racketeering Conspiracy)
and 18 U.S.C. § 371 ("Klein conspiracy"). The defendant faces a maximum term of
incarceration of twenty years on Count Two and a maximum term of incarceration
of five years on Count Sixty-Two.



In this case, the government conducted eleven months of court-authorized
wiretaps on a number of telephones connected to James Galante, owner of
approximately twenty-nine carting-related entities in southwestern
Connecticut. (PSR at ¶ 15) The wiretaps ran from August 2004 to July 2005,
at which point law enforcement officials executed over thirty-five search
warrants, including searches of Mr. Ianniello’s residence and Mr. Galante’s
office. Agents seized thousands of boxes of documents, including a sheet of
paper from Galante’s office that listed a series of quarterly payments made by
Galante to the defendant between August 2001 and April 2005. The payments
stopped after the government executed the aforementioned searches in July 2005.
With respect to the search of Mr. Ianniello’s residence, the Connecticut FBI
seized approximately $130,680 in cash. In addition to the wiretaps and searches,
agents interviewed many witnesses connected to the case.



This Court authorized wiretaps on phones utilized by, among others, Galante,
Richard Galietti (Galante’s lead salesman), Christopher Rayner (accountant to
defendants Milo and Galante), Ciro Viento (Galante’s operations manager), and
Richard Caccavale (Galante employee).



To date, Viento and Caccavale have pleaded guilty to the racketeering conspiracy
charged in Count Two; the other listed defendants await
trial.
