[Libertarian] Arab American hopes to unseat Rep. Lantos

SJ Mercury News ^ | 12/22/01 | Chuck Carroll

Okay---you're right --I assumed because the article mentioned Muslims at the start that he was, but it doesn't say he is or isn't. Obviously being Arab wouldn't be a factor.

[tpaine]

The republican candidate last time was a freeper. --- I'm having a senior moment trying to remember his name.

Anyone out there recall?

[AmishDude]

Wow! I'm the second person you dismissed and told to go away. I suppose this thread is the equivalent of your sandbox, eh?

And, on top of it, the arrogant condescension. Having sought out my profile page, I'm sure you can divine what I do for a living. Since you are a "better" of mine, I'm sure you can reveal some insight on the classification of r-uniform, 3-chromatic intersecting hypergraphs (a particular problem in which I am interested).

Two further points:

1. How do you know I am not a libertarian, but do not simply genuflect at someone who chooses to run for office under that banner?
2. How do you know the individual referenced in the source post isn't using the LP as a vehicle for his own purposes and is not, in fact, a libertarian?

[FITZ]

that to a certain extent all of us hold contradicting views on politics/religion.

I don't think everyone does. Many Muslims believe exactly what the Koran tells them about government which is why we see so many Islamic states established in majority Muslim countries. Christians are often Republicans because they believe government should enforce morality. The article doesn't actually say if this guy is or isn't a Muslim though. If he is then I would really question how he could also be a Libertarian ---does that just mean choice in color of burka for women? Or choice in chador vs burka? Muslims don't believe topless bars would be allowable if they really follow the Koran.

You posted to me at #33. I answered, and asked you some questions at #39. No fit reply?

[tpaine]

Hmmm - a very narrow reply. -- Do you believe a government should enforce the 'morality' of a majority?

[Demidog]

Cool. I hope that Lantos gets spanked. Anti-war liberals don't have anyplace to go lately except the libertarian party. This could be good.

Lantos is up on the peninsula Burlingame right?

The freeper who ran against him was Bob Evans I think.

[eleni121]

NO, you don't know much about Islam or Sharia - Muslim law. There is absolutely nothing I repeat nothing voluntary about being a believer in mohamed. Wherever and whenever muslims have invaded or usurped power anywhere they have either eliminated those who are not Muslims or forced them to convert under pain of death or allowed them to live as second class oppressed people who are at the mercy of violent outbursts ignored by Muslim authorities.

This guy how says he is an Arab American is either a Christian Arab or is fooling with Libertarian heads and that is pretty easy to do.

[tpaine]

Wow! I'm the second person you dismissed and told to go away. I suppose this thread is the equivalent of your sandbox, eh?

Yep, & the other guy was also a no talent libertarian baiter.

And, on top of it, the arrogant condescension. Having sought out my profile page, I'm sure you can divine what I do for a living.

My aren't 'we' a self impressed twit. So? - Maybe you can't build a barn.

-- # 1. You bait. -- #2. - I don't. Time will tell.

I'd be behind anyone that unseated that Natzi Lantos

So would I, but unfortunately I will have left California behind by the next election. (So long, good bye...but I won't miss Lantos.)

[tpaine]

Thanks, Ddog. Bob Evans it was.

At one point I offered meet him & to help him with his campaign, and never even got an answer. He may have been to busy going to pool parties in Fresno.

[AmishDude]

no talent libertarian baiter.

Well, that explains it then. Freedom of speech and openness of ideas unless you mock me!!!. Then, away with you.

My aren't 'we' a self impressed twit.

No. Just you. I was seeking to learn something from my betters.

-- #2. - I don't. Time will tell.

Gee, I thought he had your unqualified unconditional support. I mean, he's a Libertarian! It matters not if he's a libertarian.

-- # 1. You bait.

Au contraire, you are the master baiter.

[Demidog]

Good for you on leaving the socialist republik of Kalifornia. Born there and lived there much of my youth and adult life. Nevermore.

[Demidog]

Baiting has nothing to do with ideas, libertarian or otherwise. It's the closest thing to assault you can come to on the net.

[AmishDude]

First off, the "baiting" accusation was totally baseless.

closest thing to assault? A bit hyperbolic, don't you think?

The way to react to misbehavior on the 'net is not an arrogant dismissive (metaphorical) waiving of the hand.

"Lantos is up on the peninsula Burlingame right?"

----------------- Yep, -- lantos lives in a millon plus-plus home in Hillsbrough, of course. I think his district runs from lower SF/Daly City to Belmont or so.

I specialize in identifying and trolling for RINO's.

Catch a lot, I do. Great sport.

[AmishDude]

Dale Carnegie, call your office.

[ganesha]

I could not find a web page for Abu Ghazali the candidate but I found several on the guy he was named after. Abu Hamid Al Ghazali was a Persian Sufi Muslim philosopher from Khorasan who lived from 1058-1128 A.D. Given that this is a Muslim name, and that Muslim parents frequently give their kids names with religious orgins, it seems likely that he is a Muslim.

Bashing libertarians shames your heritage and shows your lack of common:

Bears a repeat, as you seem to have have lost track of who started the bashing/baiting.
