Over the next couple of weeks (or months), we'll try to take a look at some of the more extreme, nutty, and wacko candidates that Oklahoma has to offer, but one deserves a special stop-the-presses mention.
Sassan Moghadam – the right-wing Unite Norman organizer who became famous after he accosted a car full of rambunctious teenagers at brickpoint – has heaved his hardhat into the ring for State House District 46, which is currently held by Norman Democrat – and your nephew's history teacher – Jacob Rosecrants. Remember Sassan?
Like a lot of people, the brick incident was my first exposure to Sassan. Although I also can't stand teenagers, it wasn't a very positive first impression.
That being said, now that Sassan's an actual candidate and not just a wannabe political kingmaker, I thought it would be fun and fair to learn more about him and where he stands on the issues.
As a result, I went to his Facebook and clicked the "About" section. This is the first thing I saw:
