He made frequent allegations that Bill Clinton had several affairs around Little Rock and had fathered a child out of wedlock named Danny Williams. (The Star tabloid later determined through a DNA test that Clinton was not Williams' father.) McIntosh posted a flier during Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign which read "The Hottest Thing Going: Bill Clinton's Dick Will Keep Him From Running for President of the United States of America" with a picture of Danny Williams. Secret Service agents were seen around Little Rock with paint scrapers removing the fliers.
Some of his campaigns have resulted in self injury, e.g. he once crucified himself on the capitol steps, strapping himself to a large wooden cross to protest racism by state officials. There was a problem with the setup (he wore thermal underwear on the hottest day of the year, telling reporters they would trap his sweat and keep him cool), and he developed heat stroke and required several days of hospitalization. Earlier in the week, McIntosh set up his cross in front of the Governor's Mansion. Governor White was entertaining foreign dignitaries at the mansion that day, and when they asked him why the man was on a cross outside his residence, White deadpanned: "He displeased me." In 1983, McIntosh placed himself on a cross in front of the Pulaski County Sheriff's office, quickly taking himself down when Sheriff Tommy F. Robinson appeared with a chainsaw to cut him from the wood.
His critics have called him a loose cannon, but few debate that he has been a major part of local color in Arkansas. McIntosh is known as "The Petey Greene" Of Arkansas. John Robert Starr, the longtime managing editor of the since-titled Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, referred to him as "Robert 'You Don't Say' McIntosh", and "McIntrash".
