If true, so what? Anybody & their dog can get on a primary ballot with some work. He doesn't have a prayer against a popular incumbent of his own party.

The guy is Jewish. He's a Rabbi. He's a professor. He's pro-palestinian. He's wacky.
He's a walking drinking game for the FoxNews set.


He's does have an interesting history.

First, it by no means shocks me that boomerang peruses alt-right sites like the one in the OP.
Second, if you actually read the ad it's really pretty intelligent, which is why most people won't get it and conservatives will hate it.
It's essentially giving technically correct but very uncomfortable and awkward descriptions of things to show that if you twist the way you talk about something it twists how people feel about it. Then goes to give a definition of socialism without the scary buzzwords American tend to add to it. Then he gets overly intellectual about capitalism. Philosophers are strange people. And despite what crazy people like rang-o and wizrobes think, very few people support actual socialism in the US and democratic socialism is extremely different.

That's what I got out of the ad.
Thank you for verbalizing it...I was too busy scrubbing my browser history of that site.

Yeah, now you guys are calling everyone on the other side Nazis. Just really fucking stupid! Again, that kind of rhetoric is not going to help you guys win elections. It's gonna end up being worse than Hillary's deplorables thing. How much losing do you want to do?

Yep, Hilary greatly underestimated how many people would be openly proud to count themselves among the ranks of Nazis, KKK, white supremacists, etc.

Step One: find ridiculous candidate with no chance of getting elected. Then state that the candidate is the very embellishment of the party that the candidate is running for.

Step Two: ignore the fuck out of the actual elected candidates of the other party who are even fucking worse.

Because self-inflicted brain damage of being a modern US conservative.

Keep on keepin' on, clown.

If this is a true article at least we know the Dems would never vote this person in. The GOP would be happy to take him though. He should fit right in. Hell, he might be an upgrade. Jury is still out on that one.
Everything except for the socialism, that takes him right out.

I'm surprised Mad Maxine hasn't declared the importance of making cabinet members easily identifiable so that they can be harassed, belittled and berated. Maybe requiring that a red star be worn on their lapel would be a good way to accomplish that? Something similar worked in the past.
Heh, cute trying to employ a turnaround "Democrats are the real Nazis!" maneuver.

The toolbox for individuals perpetually trapped in the cognitive stage of a playground 8 year-old is rather limited to the "Nuh-uh, you!"style of debate. It's sad, really.

I'm not sure we can be judged on the people who chose to run for office under our R, D, I parties but we certainly can be judged and held responsible for the ones we nominate and elect...

To be fair, we've had several threads in this forum alone about extremely fringy/wacky conservative candidates running in various places who have little to no chance to win. I think there's been at least 5 in the past several months.

So far the usual.

Attack me.
Attack the post.
Attack the website.
Then the denial. All wrapped up neat and tidy for little pea-sized brains.

Candidate Segal did buy advertising in the Washington Post. The proof is in the link in my first post but I spent a few seconds and dug it up for you from the actual source. http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg/?201806140200432283

Now, show everybody how smart you are and find the ad he ran. Back up your assertion that the ad that everything points to having been run is not in fact the ad he paid for. This is how intelligent people that desire to make rational arguments do it. Prove me wrong and my apology will be forthcoming.

Best of luck and remember, this is war.

It doesn't mean anything that he ran an ad in WaPo. I'd be surprised if any candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maryland didn't run an ad in WaPo at least once.

I ran a bunch of searches on Jerome M. Segal, linked with "Washington Post" or "advertisement." This has been picked up by no MSM and very few conservative outlets either. It comes from a single point source, a tweet, and from there to your website, and from your website to only a couple other conservative sites. Also, the photograph doesn't show which newspaper the ad appears in.

I don't think we yet have sufficient information to determine if this is real or not.

And to be fair, I don't comment very often about candidates, even when they're fuckwit morons. Anyone can run in an election as whatever they choose.

But, let's be real clear.

Donald Trump ran as a Republican and holds office as a Republican.

Roy Moore has been elected as a judge multiple times, and just about beat out a middle-of-the-road Democrat for governor.

And let's not forget out-and-proud Nazis and Klan members who run close second in multi-candidate primaries.

It's not a BothSidesDoIt™ issue.

Don’t know who this fringe candidate with no shot is, don’t care, and I don’t care to click the link after what people have said of the site.

I’m just gonna post this as an example of the kind of “liberal” candidate Republicans are really afraid of:

Does anyone else here find the term "hate group" hypocritically ironic after all these hateful comments in many of these political threads towards political parties and anyone that associates or identifies with them? You guys are some hateful fucks. Can't you go plant some flowers or something instead of complaining and bashing? Better yet, run for politics, use your answers to solve those problems.

Congratulations on taking the crown for "dumbest poster I have seen" on the anantech forums. Although my time here has been short so don't think you'll be wearing that crown for long :p

I imagine a thought experiment where I could put blue construction paper on the ceiling and convince trump humpers that its the sky.

"Hey, the sky is blue, the ceiling is blue, I don't see the difference"

What if he was exposed to so much disgust and shaming as a child that he had to keep from feeling it to survive. It would allow him to survive, but it would also mean that from then on he wouldn't know when he was actually and really being shameful.

People who have been shamed want to shame others to make them feel the pain they repress but feel anyway at an unconscious level.

Heard a commercial on Jack FM 102.7 today for him. Ben Cardin pissed me off a ton when he went against Obama with the Iran nuclear treaty. I kindo wish I could vote for him but I'm not in that district.
