Phu Nguyen argues his longtime neo-Nazi Asian neighbors are “mistaken” when they claim he’s spent the last five years living in this gated Santa Ana chateau with his family.
As we all know, Phu Nguyen, a Democratic Party candidate running in the 68th State Assembly District, has recently come under vicious attack by Mike Reicher, an extremely biased reporter from The Daily Pilot who is also alleged to be a Mansoor-loving GOP operative.
As shocking as it may be, Mr. Reicher had the audacity to use his degree in investigative journalism to uncover evidence suggesting that the multi-millionaire populist has been living in his gated Santa Ana chateau instead of amongst the rabble of Westminster.
In fact, Mr. Reicher has been relentless in his harrassment of Mr. Nguyen, even having the guts to actually write a favorable puff piece about his candidacy that eventually was printed in The Los Angeles Times, a newspaper read by white supremacists:

In comments made in response to questions about his residency, Mr. Nguyen suggests that all of his longtime neo-Nazi Asian neighbors are deeply “mistaken” about his whereabouts and hints practically nobody–not even himself–knows where he has been living.
One way Mr. Nguyen can prove them wrong is for him to post five years worth of authenticated copies of his water, gas, electric, and phone bills from both his gated Santa Ana chateau and his dumpy Westminster home on his campaign website for all to see.
Another is for him to contact the Orange County District Attorney’s Office and ask they open a criminal investigation on himself to determine if he committed perjury on any documents he filed. We all know Mr. Nguyen has absolutely nothing to hide.
There is no doubt that Phu will emerge triumphant over the forces of evil trying to derail his campaign. Once his good name is restored, little children around the world will jump for joy knowing that their knight in shining armor has come to save them.
The above is political satire by Duane Roberts, who is also the Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate in California.
Awesome, just awesome!
Not bad, but next time leave off the “revelation” at the end.
It’s not my best piece of political satire, but I think I got my point across.
meh… It was THIS funny (holds fingertips close together.) Actually nobody is claiming that Phu never lived in his Santa Ana house. The question the Reicher story attempts to bring up is when exactly did he move back to his old place. And when was his family TOTALLY moved out, etc etc, kind of dry petty stuff. Which I know is a moot question to you, as you hate Democrats, hate the rich even if they worked their way up from poverty, don’t think anyone should ever move out of their old neighborhoods, and believe that moving back to your old neighborhood to run for office is defacto carpetbagging and grievously immoral.
And I DID provide examples of how Reicher’s story was biased and distorted. Yeah, we all read Reicher’s reasonable-enough Phu piece last month. And we all read his twice-as-long, very reverent Mansoor piece the month before.
The real problem here is that you don’t like the fact that a reporter did his job as an investigative journalist and caught Phu Nguyen lying.
So now you’re trying to come up with all kinds of crazy rationalizations to justify the reasons why you should continue supporting him.
The term for this in Social Psychology is called “cognitive dissonance” and that appears to be what you are suffering from as we speak.
You can attack me and the reporter all you want, but nothing you’ve written changes the fact Mr. Nguyen has been less than truthful.
I’m sorry, but the horse you’ve placed all of your bets on in this race has just stumbled and will probably end up last to the finish line.
I’m going to put this matter to bed, but if you want to continue posting messages about it from now and until the end of time, be my guest.
By the way, what kind of guy lives in a baby French chateau with a garage stuck on the front?
The word “Asian” is a proper noun. You fail to capitalize it twice. Also, glad to see that you’re working hard on your campaign there Duane.
Duane,
Please make sure that you use a capital “C” when calling Phu a “Carpetbagger”.
You mad bro?
I just went into the text and made the required corrections. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Andrew.
