[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question though.  How is it slanderous to question a candidate's background, positions and previous political activities?  How is it slanderous to question the origin of a candidate's donations?  That is called being an informed voter.

Not sure where you're going with your "younger voters" statement.  [/quote]

That wasn’t quite what you were doing, and you know it.  In any case, Samirah won by a landslide.

Younger voters recognize more readily when old Republicans launch anonymous attacks on progressive candidates. It’s a badge of honor, really. [/quote]

I think a glance at the FCRC page on Facebook this evening, and the religious slurs used there against the Delegate-Elect, says all that needs to be said re the opposition to his candidacy from the Republican Party.  Which is quite unfortunate.[/quote]

Just took a glance at it.  I didn't see those slurs.

I do wonder how many of those Democratic voters realize that Samirah protested in Egypt with the Muslim Brotherhood, though.  That has been under reported.  How  many realize that he has vowed to avenge the death of the protesters who were killed 11 days after he left the protest?

No matter, though.  He won't be the Dem nominee next time.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you care so much about keeping the current Egyptian government, whose actions Amnesty International has condemned, in power. They've committed atrocities, and Samirah was exercising his rights to call them out just as he criticized Ariel Sharon.

He's now an elected state delegate, and I'm sure voters will judge him in the future for how he's represented them in Richmond, not his views on the Mideast.
