* AnimalAssassin: Synanon was ultimately brought down because they came up with the harebrained scheme of trying to assassinate an IntrepidReporter by sticking a ''rattlesnake'' in the latter's mailbox.

Robert and Paul F. Tompkins are left in utter hysterics at the sheer ridiculousness of this.

While it may have been also part of his act for ratings, Robert and Tom Reimann acknowledge it as a contrast to modern right-wing pundits who are all too happy to cozy up to said leaders.
