In fact, GA spoke to the Fisher campaign this morning in response to this comment posted on MSV yesterday:
Here is what I was able to confirm, so far.
The Tiffanie Fisher campaign went out on Saturday morning and hung window signs in 2nd Ward businesses on Washington Street. Fisher's window signs were hung in storefronts after obtaining permission from the owners. All of the businesses were on 10th street and above.
Within a few hours, Fisher's signs were gone. Store owners who were asked reported they did not see them taken down, did not know what happened.
The next day, Ms. Fisher, the candidate, went with members of her campaign to put the Washington street window signs back up. This time, they hung the signs with "extra taping" so they could not be taken down so quickly and easily.
On the way back, walking north on Washington street, Ms. Fisher bumped into opponent Peter Biancamano, who is seen in the above photo standing two doors south from the Chinese restaurant where Ms. Fisher had hung window signs "10 minutes earlier."
After a brief, civil chat with her opponent, Fisher continued north and looked over at the Chinese restaurant...
Her window sign was GONE.
One of several Washington Street businesses where Tiffanie Fisher window signs were vandalized- TWICE |
Note, no one witnessed candidate Biancamano tearing down the sign himself, and no one from Fisher's campaign (that GA spoke to) accused him of doing so.
But, c'mon. He was right there.
Tiffanie Fisher's little helper |
For the 2nd day in a row.
Most of the signs Fisher re-hung on Sunday were torn down almost as soon as they were hung. The campaign told GA 10-15 signs were vandalized.
Out of 10-15 ripping events, why didn't one storekeeper "see" their window sign being removed?
Maybe MSV's Spongebob7227 knows something: "Washington businesses were forced to remove Tiffanie's posters "or else."
Is this what Anthony Romano's "war" on Reform looks like?
Is this how Biancamano "brings Hoboken together?"
Thuggish behavior from Biancamano's crew is no big surprise. In April of 2011, Matt Calicchio was caught on security camera video ripping down a Jen Giattino window poster from Kayla's cleaner's in the 6th Ward. The owner of Kayla's alleged that she had been threatened with a "$100 fine" if the sign were not removed, before the thug ripped it down.
MSV broke the story, where you can still see the video of the brazen sign heist.
Is Fattie Mattie still set up in the Mason "Civic" association on 12th and Wash??
ReplyDeleteI am no Calicchio fan, but am asking folks to try to refrain from disparaging anyone's physical appearance, even those of you who are perfect physical specimans.
DeleteIn almost every case I would agree. But that person does not deserve any sympathy from anyone. He followed a little girl and her Mom in order to intimidate them. There is nothing lower than that type of depravity
DeleteBravo, GA!
DeleteSomeone should rip down the massive sign from his parents home on 13th and Bloomfield.
ReplyDeleteIs that even legal?
Don't rip down their sign.
DeleteIs it legal? Probably not.
Report the sign to police. If it ain't legal they may do something but then again they might not.
DeleteSaw it. it's not a sign, its a BANNER! 20x4
DeleteThis is illegal.
Police do something about it?! That's a good one.
DeleteBiancamano has surrounded himself with thugs, felons and convicted felons so this sort of stuff should not come as a surprise.
ReplyDeleteBiased Question: Biancamano ripping down opponent's window signs?
ReplyDeleteAnswer deep in article: no one witnessed candidate Biancamano tearing down the sign himself, and no one from Fisher's campaign (that GA spoke to) accused him of doing so.
It's almost like reading the Hoboken Distorter.
Oh, please. It's all there. Photo taken of Biancamano standing 10 yards from and "10 minutes after" sign was hung AND torn down. Can't argue with a photo, can you? The photo is from the campaign's facebook site. If Biancamano didn't pull the sign down, he saw who did which makes him an accomplice.
DeleteThe signs don't just disappear by themselves.
Delete"If you can't prove it, I have to say no..." Beth Mason. Peter Biancamano ?
How about when Lane Bajardi called the press trying to claim Tony Soares was tearing down Mason's signs way up on poles.
DeleteLane must've been jealous because Soares could reach and Lane couldn't ;)
Fuck of Anon and 1:26-- go read the Mason Matzner Reporter
DeleteBut I remember reading on 411 that Tony Soares actually could reach Beth Mason's signs when he was sitting on Mike Lenz's shoulders. ;-)
DeleteYou know who else was there when the photos were taken, the person taking the photo. You have just as much evidence that the phototaker tore down the sign as you do the candidate did. Did you even bother to ask the shop owner why the sign isn't there anymore?
DeleteThis is a baseless accusation that is built on speculation and bias. Stop the BS and criticize the candidate for what they have done not what you think they might have done. Bush league and very disappointing GA.
Nice try, Anon @ 2:29. Having observed you here, no fan of mine nor reform, I am sure what is "disappointing" is your boy getting called out on the 'coincidence' of being present when his opponen'ts signs were torn down.
DeleteI made no "accusation," simply asked a question. I know who took the photo. Your suggestion the photographer was as likely to have torn down the signs as Fisher's opponent is "bush league. "
Just asking a question? Like asking a husband if they have stopped beating their wife. It's just a question right?
DeleteI don't even like Peter I just hate needless bias. And this headline was obviously biased. Do the right thing and fix it.
Anon @ 2:58, I accept your analogy if said husband is found standing over his bloody, beaten to a pulp wife and he's holding a bloody baseball bat covered with clumps of her skin and hair. Then it's a fair question.
DeleteAs is mine.
You say the headline is "biased." Opinion by its nature has a bias. I have a reasonable basis for my opinion and the headline is a fair question. Further, this is a BLOG and the context is opinion, that's understood, you don't have to agree. The Distorter, which you improperly compared me to, alleges to be a newspaper. Got it?
You "don't like Peter?" Yeah, right.
Typical thuggish behavior from The Jon Corea Ex Con Crowd.
ReplyDeleteI will say I don't like when any business has a political sign in the window for anyone and I don't think any business should do it.
But if a business does hand a sign for someone I don't like, they never see a dime from me EVER again. I express my displeasure with my wallet, not being a bully.
Honestly, I don't think anyone should ask a business to hand a sign or even if a store owner wants hang her sign, I would suggest she say, that's okay I don't want you to be put in a difficult position.
The Thugs this brave Tiffanie is fighting are thugs who stalk moms by schools, threaten the mayor by her house and I'm sure are not beyond vandalism and physical harm.
Biancomono is not a doofus , he's a Dangerous Doofus because of the bullies and con's he's surrounded by
I remember all the rumors about cheating when the Biancamono Deli won the Best Mutz contest.
ReplyDelete*****************************************************************************************************
Vito's Deli is a great place.
I plan to go just to vote for Vito's and take photo's of Peter standing over the "Voting Box" like the thug he is known to be.
DeleteNo way their mutz is the best
Peter Biancomono, The Mutz Putz
DeleteThe optics say it all.
ReplyDeleteTiffanie Fisher walking down the street with adorable little campaign helpers to hang her posters, a lesson in Democracy for the kids.
Peter Biancamano in a dark room surrounded by thugs, felons and convicted felons, one of whom later rips down the little girls' signs.
Is this what Stick Romano meant when he said Washington St was like a Third World country?
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of distortion GA is unloading. This fabrication is about as truthful as the pic with Biancamano and Garcia with their arms around each other - never happened. I agree with 1:47's comment that no business should be asked to hang a political sign in their window. Why would they want to alienate customers supporting either candidate? Better to take the sign and then dump it so as not to offend anyone. Just my guess.
ReplyDeleteDamage control !
DeletePeter looks dirty !
Obfuscate ! Complicate !
Create doubt as a cover !
This means war !
Anyone who stands in our way will be ground into powder !
"Fabricated?" "Never happened?" You're right. The campaign made it up, posted a photoshop on their Facebook page, and rented the two kids.
DeleteI CAPTIONED the photoshop of Peter and Carmelo with the fact that I had swapped out Romano for Garcia. It was identified as a photoshop.
It is up to the business owner to decide if and who they are supporting.
DeleteAs for your outrage, should we just file this all under an "amazing Hoboken Coincidence" file? Signs are all torn out mysteriously and an opponent just happens to be within 5 feet. He may not have done it but someone who works less than 100 feet away is a documented sign stealing loser
Amazing coincidence. Maybe the signs just blew away in the wind
Does Graphic Avenger admit to fabricating stories?
Delete4:00, I believe she "admits" to using photoshop to make a point in an entertaining way.
DeleteBut truth be told the picture of Tim in a hotdog bun and Russo and castellano as the undead was ... Made up.
Did that come as a shock? Do you need to sit down.
You guys used to be better at spinning. This is just sad.
Sad is all the Old Guard and their lame ass political ops got.
DeleteDid you see the video of Peter Biancamano at his kickoff?
What political operative got paid to have him go up there and bounce around like a circus clown muttering about "telling the truth."
Since when did Peter start caring about the truth? No, we don't expect a papal miracle to strike Hoboken and Peter now.
Got that Petey? Capesh? We know you. SELLOUT!
Pupie should turn his back on you like he never knew you.
Tiffanie Fisher is the real deal and you are going down Mutzboy!
Then you go back to doing nothing and selling out the children for some other big developer deal!
It seems that the OG has already stumbled badly out of the starting gate. First came the ridiculous “Killer Combo”. Then Perry Belfiore sponsored Melissa Blanco fiasco, followed by Eduardo Gonzalez admitting to having confidential information regarding the BASF negotiations, then continuing with Stick Romano declaring war, followed by Peter B’s hosting of a felon reunion at his kick off, then moving on to Peter B’s bizarre “more information about the Monarch needed” statement. Now we have the memory of Gumby stealing Jen's posters and threatening businesses brought back front and center. This stuff is gold! And they have just started! I find it to be hilarious and great. Let them continue to screw up in such a wonderfully ironic manner. I am just a bit curious as to who the hell is in charge of this clown car smash up posing as a political campaign. John Castellano?
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. The pushback on this one is funny. Smells like panic to me. GA's just a messenger. Hey where there's smoke, there's fire.
DeleteWait, is PB to blame for "The People's Mandate" Blanco running as a candidate?
DeleteIt would explain all the Bhalla hatred from Assilem
DeleteShe don t have a chance. Wait till the mozzarella balls start to be given out.
ReplyDeletePeter's balls melt in your mouth.
DeleteTiffanie Fisher's window signs committed suicide (tore themselves off the window and flung themselves into the trash) coincidentally while Peter Biancamano was standing a couple of feet away.
ReplyDeleteGot a problem with that?
You talk'in to me?
DeleteBANG ! Biancamano lives up to expectations as the Mason replacement.
ReplyDeletePeter surrounded himself with thugs. Peter was filmed with thugs. Thugs with well documented histories. First week of the campaign, thuggish behavior ensues.
ReplyDeleteNow we're all supposed to quibble about Peter's limited role. Just as you'd do with the half-drunk guy that comes to your house and brings 8 uninvited completely wasted guys with him and trashes the place. Your main focus would be finding a way to give the half-drunk guy a pass, right?
Whatta joke. Good luck with those deck chairs, guys.
Peter is the man, Change is coming and its starting to feel good, BNR are all out in full force and showing all the F___ up that have been going on.
DeleteMost reformer should focus on the voter who are taken hits with taxes and outrages infrastructure issues rather the cry on this site.
What the eff change is that? BNRs? Beth has been sucking up to BNRs for 8 years. What's Peter changing?
DeleteNo, the Mason's have been paying certain BNR's like they were expensive hookers to put out for them.
DeleteSo Tiffany should get elected because she starts rumors about her opponent?
ReplyDeleteSince the proper spelling of Tiffanie Fisher's name is here several times and all you would have to do is copy it it is a sign of disrespect.
DeleteThat disrespect seems to have quickly become a trademark of Peter Biancamano's campaign.
No, Tiffanie Fisher should be elected by Hoboken residents because she is protecting their interests not acting in the interest of big, wealthy developers for one.
DeleteShe's actually working to serve the community. This is counter to the idea of why Old Guard candidates get "in the game." The lady actually serves Hoboken and is looking to continue that service.
Vote for Tiffanie Fisher on November 3rd!
If Biancamano was 'unaware' that his opponents signs were being torn off as he stood on Washington street a couple of feet away, why does he send Trolls to spam this site for him instead of just speaking out himself?
ReplyDeleteAttack the messenger all you want- the signs did not tear themselves out of the stores. Biancamani's running a juvenile campaign.
If he isn't responsible or an accomplice to his opponents signs being ripped down 2 days in a row, why so quiet? Why are out-of-town trolls doing the talking? Way out of town.
Biancamano said, " we're going to tell the truth." If he was not responsible then he should have the guilty party step up and "tell the truth."
Crickets.
Tiffany makes a baseless accusation and then you people launch into hissy fit mode You all get ugly real fast. Makes me proud not to be a "reformer". Since Tiffany is a nobody who will soon be forgotten, why should her rumor be repeated or believed? Maybe because she is desperate and throwing wild jabs at Biancamano is the only thing she's got. And GA and MSV are her accomplices.oh, yeah, tiffanie.whatevs.
ReplyDeleteFisher may have her doubts about Biancamano. Especially since he has surrounded himself with the likes of serial campaign thug Matt Calicchio, felon John Correa, Dwek associate Mike Russo, it's been cleared up apologist Terri Castellano. Anyone not paid for friendship would have their doubts.
DeleteBut Fisher made no such accusation.
Fisher does have a substantial record as a professional and community activist to stand on. That's your second lie.
At least you were telling the truth when you said you were proud not to be a reformer. We're all proud that you're not a reformer too.
In general I am delighted by the calibre of moron Biancamano is sending our way. It makes the decision very easy for anyone who is on the fence.
You sure are blowing a lot of smoke from Hackensack. Do you vote in Hoboken?
DeleteWhy so interested in Hoboken development? If Tiffanie were a "nobody" you folks wouldn't be so afraid of her. I don't speak for Fisher or her campaign. I live in a different ward. My interest is in a clean, fair election. Ripping a candidate's signs down after they are put up, two days in a row, is a dirty, childish tactic. A confident campaign doesn't act like that. So Biancamano doesn't think she's a "nobody" if his campaign is pulling her signs down.
Sticks and stones about me, honey. Say what you want. Your side uses courts and intimidation to shut people up. Ask the Bajardis how that worked out.
We have strong roots in Hackensack. I really like the baseless accusation of a "baseless accusation." Really pleased with the effort in Hackensack.
DeleteGo team!
"I am interested in a clean, fair election." BWAHH HHAAA HAAAA!!! You are interested in winning, even if you have to fabricate smears against a candidate for office. Tiffany who? She needs your maligning blog to boost her recognition. At least MSV is honest enough to show that Roman is taking her money by running her ads.
DeleteSticks and stones, Mr. Hackensack!
DeleteHave a nice day (in Hackensack.)
9:27 if you lived anywhere near Hoboken maybe you would know more about Fisher. Alternatively you can read the signs your team keeps tearing down.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeletePablo, I assure you I may be a horse, but I'm no accomplice.
DeleteWhy don't you call Horsey and say hello.
Again, welcome to Hoboken.
Please note Hacky sack that Tiffanie Fisher is not a one hit wonder. She was leading the charge AGAINST the Monarch without political ambition.
DeleteMany had come to her and encouraged her to run because of her leadership qualities. The fact that Tiffany Fisher stepped up is icing on reforms cake.
Tiffanie Fisher for 2nd Ward!
Circle the mistakes and rewrite this sentence correctly using proper verb tenses and spelling.
ReplyDeleteMost reformer should focus on the voter who are taken hits with taxes and outrages infrastructure issues rather the cry on this site. -
Good lord, I already can't wait for this election to be over if this is the level of discourse we have to look forward to from the Team Ramos/Garcia/Biancamano/Russo. Luckily, with every passing year, all this silly season campaign BS is less and less effective as Hoboken voters -- young and old, BNR and recent arrivals alike -- become less tolerant of and susceptible to the dark side's lying ways. You guys had a good run for many decades here in Hoboken, but it's a new day now.
ReplyDeleteIt will undoubtedly get much worse before it gets better.
ReplyDeleteTeam Ramos/Garcia/Biancamano/Castellano/Russo have no real alternative than to continue the hate and mudslinging as Hoboken gets better and better.
Here's an idea, retire with all our stolen money and move out of OUR town!
DeleteCuz watcha gonna do when they come for you?
I'm glad that GA looks at IP addresses. This allows her to let us all know when a suspected plant is a plant & when an anon is talking to himself.
ReplyDeleteIP addresses (numbers) don't tell you anything. Let's say there are methods to catch rats.
DeleteI guess GA hit a nerve with the hack from Hackensack.
DeleteNope- that one came in from even further away from Hoboken. But he/she sure is angry!
DeleteStay tuned.
Anon @ 10:08 makes a good point: the discourse resulting from malicious headlines such as the one that led off this topic is unbecoming to the candidates. Perhaps Tiffanie is woman enough to recant her accusation and the discussion can move on to issues of substance. Hoboken politics is toxic. Why Tiffanie would want to drag small business owners into this mess is beyond me. NEWSFLASH: they shouldn't have been asked in the first place. Especially with two young kids, what are the store owners supposed to say, "F..U."? No, they took them and promptly dumped them. And then she displayed the utter lack of comprehension to DO IT AGAIN! And Peter B. is the one who is getting racked over the coals here???
DeleteWho wrote that for you, Mr. Hackensack? At least he/she spelled the candidate's name right this time.
DeleteWhy are you interfering in my City's election?
I can see that he/she is getting desperate to get their boy off the hook.
DeleteNot working. Making him look even worse with each post.
Considering that many of those who are running Peter B. have tried to discount and disparage this site they spend an amazing amount of time here trying to spin for their boys.
Keep up the good work.
Good one 11:02 about the signs shouldn't be in the stores so it's no big deal if you drove down from Hackensack to take them.
DeleteBtw I think I sideswiped your car. But it's ok because your meter was expired.
HInt: His brother/sister needs to go back to school...
Deleteanon 11:57 - hilarious!
DeleteYeah stay tuned as Nancy gets familiar with a foreign proxy. Maybe I'll post while on TOR next time.
DeleteAnon @ 12:23-
DeleteWho gives a $hit if you use the Dark Web? You're tired of being the a$$hole from "Ontario?"
You think a proxy is the "dark web"? You watch too many bad movies.
DeleteNo, a$$hole, I was referring to the Tor browser.
DeleteWikipedia has this to say about darkweb... well in part.
DeleteThe darknets which constitute the Dark Web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks like Freenet, I2P, and Tor, operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the Dark Web refer to the regular web as the Clearnet due to its unencrypted nature.[9] The Tor dark web may be referred to as Onionland,[10] a reference to the network's name as "the onion router."
The hacked Ashley Madison data was dumped in the dark.
DeletePeter Biancamo does not have the courage to take responsibility for what his campaign does in his behalf.
ReplyDeletePeter is looking REALLY guilty now. Hackensack man isn't doing him any favors.
DeleteIt's time for the Biancamano campaign to address this. Somebody needs to take responsibility for pulling down Fisher's signs.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to take responsibility for making false accusations.
ReplyDeleteWhether he took them down himself or not he had them taken down.
DeleteYour drivel is insulting.
Or the owner didn't realize Tiffany is running against Peter, they like Peter too, and when the shop owner found out decided to stay neutral and took down the sign themselves.
DeleteBut that doesn't fit the good vs evil narrative that sometimes pervades this site.
Do I think Peter would make a good councilperson? No. Do I think he's a monster? Also no.
Anon @ 12:20--
DeleteRight, nearly all the store owners took the signs down TWO days in a row- and TORE them, leaving tape and fragments of poster paper. That is how a store owner would take down a sign.
You're full of $hit. You wouldn't be haunting my site with a proxy if you weren't shilling for Peter.
And the spelling is T-I-F-F-A-N-I-E.
Did you even ask the store owners? Can you be be bothered to do that little before posting what feels like an accusation?
DeleteReread the post, it is there. The store owners were asked by the campaign, and told they "didn't see anything."
DeleteI am sorry I hurt your Canuk "feelings." Now, you may continue to waste your own time here, you are not advancing your cause.
But you didn't ask. You're saying that someone asked someone and that second someone told the first someone that they didn't see anything, in their own store?
DeleteIs it possible the second someone took down the sign after they found out the son of a neighboring store owner is running and didn't want to risk angering the Fisher campaign by saying so? Is that possible?
Not for nothing but you kids have been taking down enemy signs since Grant was president. You even have a campaign member who was caught on film doing it.
ReplyDeleteWhy all the fuss this year? It's a little late to start being ashamed of what you are, no?
Taking down political posters from public property where they should not be in the first place is one thing strong arming people to take down signs on private property is another thing.
DeleteMore then just taking down signs down is the intimidation tactics being used.
All of Biancamano's defender in this thread just make me want to make sure he never wins. Thanks for the motivation. Time to register a few 2nd ward friends
ReplyDeleteBINGO
ReplyDeleteBiancamano's propaganda is hanging out at his parents deli. Enough reason to not go there. Does he work there too? He seems a little off. Is he even employed?
ReplyDeleteHe is off. A total simpleton.
DeleteHe is getting direct orders from Raia et al.
They prepare his speeches and he either reads his notes verbatim or memorizes them. Check out his board of education meetings. Totally scripted and not written by him.
His friends don't call him Uncle Fester behind his back for nothing.
This is true. Peter really is Beth Mason in pants.
DeleteOn one hand I feel a little sorry for Peter, I remember him as a decent kid. But then first he got sucked into being Raia's VBM ballot boy and now he's decided to get cozy with the sleaziest element of local politics. No more "good kid" excuses, he's a grownup now and knows what he's doing. He's made his bed and now he has to sleep in it.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Peter probably doesn't realize the dark side, who he now thinks are his buddies, will kick him to the curb once he loses. What does he do then, go crawling back to Frank?
The only reason Biamcamano's wins the Mutz feast is because Fiores is not in the competition.
ReplyDeletejust because i dislike peter politically and would never vote for him doesn't mean i don't still love biancamano's mutz. i'm sure fiore's (and vito's) mutz is good too but anyone who says biancamano's isn't is full of crap.
DeleteI hear Biancamano's mutz is delicious. Never tried it, nor Vito's. I LOVE Fiore's.
DeleteRight on Fiore's is the best lines out the door on the west side no less.
DeleteVito's is good.
i'm the anon@3:43...i live next door to biancamano's, gone there for decades. that being said, i still won't vote for peter.
Delete
