The New Hariri Demagogue: So Sa`d Al-Hariri, aware that people in Beirut are disgusted that 9 of his candidates in Beirut have won before the election has even started because nobody is running against them, has been urging people to vote anyway. To appeal to people, he has been asserting that a vote for his list is a vote "against the murderers and criminals of Rafiq Hariri." So according to this politico brat's (il)logic, all the rivals of Hariri are criminals and murderers. What a sweet campaign that is.
