Landham's bid in jeopardy after continued anti-Arab comments

The Libertarian Party of Kentucky's leadership will meet tonight to decide the fate of their Senate candidate, Sonny Landham. In the last week, Landham has made continual anti-Arab comments that culminated in an exchange on The Weekly Filibuster radio program Friday night. "So are you calling for a complete genocide of the Arab race? Is that what you're saying? Unless they raise the white flag?" asked one of the program's hosts, Sage Koontz.

"When you are in a war, you kill every thing that moves," responded Landham, a former actor who played Billy in action movie "Predator."

Friday's remarks came during Landham's second appearance on the internet radio program, and his comments were more intense than those from the first. In a Wednesday appearance on the Weekly Filibuster, Landham called for a stop to Arab immigration to the United States.

Libertarian Party leadership -- which had been leading the drive to collect signatures to secure Landham's access to Kentucky ballots -- is now considering whether they want Landham as their candidate at all.

"We are going to have a meeting tonight to make a decision as a committee as to what we are going to do," said Libertarian Party Chairman Ken Moellman.

Moellman said Libertarian Party leaders were "very dissappointed" in Landham's comments, which he said did not mesh with the either "pro-immigration or pro-legal immigration" stance of many of his party's members.

Landham was recruited as the Libertarian Party's Senate candidate on short notice in June, when the national party wanted a down ballot candidate alongside their presidential candidate, former U.S. Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.).

The Ashland resident's candidacy has been controversial from the start. While Landham is most well-known for his appearance in "Predator," his work in several pornographic movies has gained national attention.

Even more political baggage was unearthed in the form of several videos Landham appeared in for the Council of Conservative Citizens -- an organization considered a "hate-group" by many.

Landham repudiated his membership in that organization shortly after his association with it was reported, though his latest comments seem to leave many scratching their heads where the candidate -- himself part-Native American -- stands on issues of race and ethnicity.

Since launching his candidacy, Landham also stirred controversy by denying that global warming existed.

Moellman said Landham had been out of line with the party on several issues, but they gave him some leeway -- until the latest comments concerning Arabs.

"With the most recent comments, action was required," Moellman said.

In recent weeks, Moellman has said Libertarian canvassers have collected enough petition signatures to secure ballot access for both Landham and Barr in Kentucky. Now, however, the party officially controls that access for those candidates.

Moellman says a decision from the party should be reached as early as tonight as to whether Landham will remain the Libertarian candidate.

If you ask a stranger for the time, who knows where they'll look for it. Try conducting your own unscientific experiment: Head into a public place and ask for the time. Eyes will roam across the room looking for the nearest clock. A fumble for cell phones or PDAs will ensue. The question used to be easy to answer - folks would just look at their wrists or tell you they didn't know.now watches is popular.you don't worry about time.
