Calif. GOP governor candidate says other GOP candidate supports Shariah law

California Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly’s Facebook post highlights a story by an author who has been called “the anti-Muslim movement’s most paranoid propagandist” and claims Republican Neel Kashkari “supported the United States submitting to the Islamic, Shariah banking code in 2008 when he ran TARP.”

The Washington Times 2008 story posted on Donnelly’s Facebook page is written by conservative Frank J. Gaffney, whom the Southern Poverty Law Center has profiled as a virulent anti-Muslim who “has suggested that President Obama is a practicing Muslim.”

The posting is just the latest evidence of an increasingly nasty campaign between two GOP gubernatorial candidates — Donnelly, the Tea Party darling and assemblyman from San Bernardino County, and Kashkari, the former deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary who administered the Troubled Asset Relief Program under the Bush and Obama administrations.

Kashkari, the son of Indian American immigrants, is Hindu — not Muslim.

6. Sadly you're wrong

There's 36 total between the state assembly and senate but if they keep putting up people like this that number may decrease drastically.

Note the "None" under Statewide Offices

4. Why are all these immature jackasses running for office?

Have ther always been such imbeciles running but only we now hear of them because of the internet?
And are there equivalent Democratic fools that we don't hear about because this is a Democratic site?

It just seems incredible that so many stupid people can be taken seriously as candidates.
