Republican candidate for Oregon Legislature frequently disparages Jews and Muslims on social media

[Behind the Aegis]

Joshua Powell, a Republican candidate for an open Eugene-area statehouse seat, frequently makes vitrolic and expletive-filled anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim posts on social media.

“New York Times called the Bundy ranch people trying to spin the narrative ... (expletive) Jews!” Powell wrote on Facebook last October during the trial for the 2014 Bundy standoff in Nevada. “A new (expletive) low by the Jew York Times.”

“Saw more Muslims in Eugene,” Powell wrote a month earlier. “ISIS right under our noses.”

“Washington (state) is crawling with Muslim rats,” he wrote in another post last fall.

“We’ve never had Muslims here in Oregon, ever, until now,” he said. “Jewish liberals are opening up the borders, and innocent bystanders are subjected to this aggressive agenda. And then they wonder why there’s anti-Semitism.”

1. Sigh

What are his chances?

[gratuitous]

4. Not real good

He hasn't bought space in the voter's pamphlet, hasn't raised any money, hasn't campaigned (although according to the story, he's threatening to start), and is being asked by the local Republican party to drop out. Looks like he's running a martyr's campaign so he can go sobbing back to his Nazi buddies about how mean everyone is to the fascisti.

Followed by a contract with Fox, methinks.

5. He would do better on the east side of the state where there are more right wing Republicans.

3. This guy is running in a heavily liberal district and will get his ass kicked HARD.

He doesn't have a chance in hell of ever being elected.
