My understanding is that Ibin-Fallad-Al-Chapman is a 28-year-old high school graduate. Does he have knowledge of Richard Nixon O wise one?

You will be sorry that you insulted our candidate Gill, the faithful.

I am concerned that you will issue a fatwa against those of us who resist the rise of the former chief lobbyist for Abdurahman Alamoudi’s AMC. Is there any danger of that or am I just worrying about nothing?

You are worse. You are an infidel who has attacked and mocked one of the faithful, the 5th Imam of PWC! You the tool of the Zionists will cry out for mercy when the Ayatolla Jadmeini comes for you! You will call for deliverance in the face of Ibin-Fallad-Al-Chapman! You will feel the pain of the wrath of Caliph-Suliman-Kopko the great! No 80 virgins and e-paradise for you!

The above statement is incorrect because it ascribes to me a significance which I do not possess. But if in an alternate universe it turned out to be the case then whoever the Dems nominated would benefit from it. (Christians are a large majority of voters, and the poster complains about their status as a result of Faisal and Jonathan.)

So the above quote is one more reason why Gill’s lobbying for the imprisoned Abdurahman Alamoudi’s American Muslim Council makes him a loser.

As to why a few want to nominate a loser, I can only agree with the person above that the Cooches and the Bollings, if they are still on board, have an agenda. Bolling’s agenda is that Gill gave him $13,000, an impressive amount for a young attorney with a new, small no-name law firm and four kids to support.

Cooch has his own $15,000 from the Safa Group, which Cooch will not return. Cooch will not even acknowledge Alamoudi’s participation in Safa Group activities. When the feds raided Safa offices in March 2002 they found in Safa’s Falls Church office evidence showing that Alamoudi had illegally travelled to Libya and had known that such travel was illegal.

With all due respect, of all the dumbass things that people could do nominating Faisal Gill would be the dumbest of them all. Those handful of Gill supporters would have given the HOD-51 seat to the Dems, including Brian Moran the Dem caucus leader.

I have no desire to see the Moran brothers more powerful than they are now. So to James Young and the others who refuse to repudiate Gill please do so now. You are playing into the hands of the Moran brothers and the Democratic Party. You are doing what the Moran brothers want you to do by pushing an unelectable Republican candidate.

“Only claim to fame”? I’m not entirely sure that I have ANY “claim to fame,” or that having such a thing is something to be desired in today’s society, but I’m certainly not going to clutter up Greg’s comments with my resume, particularly since: (a) I’d hate to embarrass you; and (b) you wouldn’t respond in kind so that I could.

But you’re the one who doesn’t have his facts straight.

First, I was County YR CHAIRMAN from late 1992 through 1994, not merely “in the Young Republicans.” The Prince William County YRs was: (1) perenially Virginia’s best; (2) was recognized as the nation’s best YR club at the 1993 national YR convention; (3) during that time, raised more money — and had more members — than the County GOP Committee, including hosting a Spring fundraiser in 1994 that received coverage in the New York Times and on the Pacifica Radio Network. The sign we designed — “Clean House, Vote Republican,” on a faded flag background — was used by the Washington Post on its Sunday Magazine as the theme of the GOP takeover of Congress in the 1994 national elections. Also in those pre-Internet days, it was the YRs who actually did a monthly newsletter.

Second, I did not “supposedly assist[] in writing the by-laws for the PWCRC”; I was their primary author, and chairman of the committee tasked with putting them together. The County GOP Committee was kind enough to recognize those facts when it adopted them, back in the day.

Third, last night I left the meeting — which was supposed to start at 7 p.m. — at precisely nine o’clock, after TWO hours “of B.S. by ‘Team Kopko’ and some guy that is/was the Occoquan district chair.” I suspect even Greg will verify that point.

[Ed Note: comment edited]

Honest question: What has he actually done in grassroots advocacy? I think this would be a question for both republican candidates. Would Mr. Gill have been in favor of the “transportation compromise?”

Oh, and there’s this new one: “I forgot to bring ANY campaign materials whatsoever to the PWCRC meeting last night.” It looked like a Julie Lucas rally at Stonewall Middle School. Faisal didn’t even show up on time and had to have someone else fill in for him.

What a buffoon.

As to letting my “mouth [sic; actually, you probably meant my keyboard] get in front the facts,” I offered a “fact”: the results of an election, in response to Greg’s effort to make an issue of the fact that Mike Wooten presented the award. All you offer — like most of the tripe about Faisal here — is innuendo, without any “facts” whatsoever, and indeed, contrary to the established facts. You sound like a Democrat, mindlessly bitching and moaning about an election whose results you loathe, simply because you couldn’t win. It sounds a lot like you were there when the vote was taken and the votes were counted. Did you challenge the process? Suggest that it should be conducted in another way? I frankly don’t recall what happened, but I think I’d remember if someone had. Might’ve even agreed with them. But then again, I don’t think much of such votes. The vote appears to have been conducted the same way last night. Were you there? You certainly didn’t complain. No one did.

I understand Greg’s visceral hatred of Faisal, since his law firm might well be the instrument of a judgment against him. I suspect that you maintain your anonymity just so you can make obnoxious charges without responsibility, and because you are a tax advocate that Faisal’s work as a leader in fiscal responsibility puts to shame. As someone else has observed in another context, and while of limited utility, it’s analogous to a cuckolded husband’s response to the gigolo, embarrassed to having been shown up by another man who could apparently deliver the goods better than he. No “facts” there; just reasonable surmise.

There are some very bad historical examples of people blindly following a bad leader. I can think of a couple in the 1940’s.

I wish there were a hundred votes on that one, all with IPs that trace to Occoquan. Alas, extensive survey data without expenditure is hard to come by.
