Responding to the photo to the right, originally posted on the Orange Juice here, Assemblyman Van Tran yesterday sent out a press release disclaiming the “Jail Tan Nguyen” he was holding.
The picture, taken at a Tea Party event, shows Tran holding a small sticker which calls for putting his opponent in the primary elections in jail.
When news of the picture caught the attention of Vietnamese voters, however, Tran’s campaign sent out a press release (here, in Vietnamese) to counter it.
In the press release, Tran’s office says, “On Thursday, he was invited to join a demonstration by the ‘Tea Party’ movement. All of a sudden, an American he doesn’t know pulled out a small sticker with the words ‘Jail Tan Nguyen’, gave it to Assemblyman Tran in front of a crowd and asked to take a picture. The whole thing happened in a flash.”
The statement says that Tran took the sticker “to be courteous,” and later he threw it in the trash.
The sticker’s sentiment is a reference to the pending prosecution of Tan Nguyen, the 2006 GOP nominee for the same Congressional seat, accused of lying to a state investigator who then allegedly repeated it to a federal investigator which supposedly makes it a federal case.
Tran calls the Orange Juice Blog a “left-wing web site with a tendency to oppose and frequently spread false news about Republican Vietnamese elected officials.”
Tan Nguyen, reached by phone, said Tran called and talked to him, saying he didn’t mean it, “and I believe him.”
oh also i’m sorry about the “oy vay” too that also might be a little over your head…..sorry..
Come on people, don’t you get it? You’re arguing with dogs and you want to them to understand? Unless you’re willing to bark otherwise they would never hear you!
Jose s.,
Why don’t you go play with your idol Loretta and get your ass out of Little Saigon. You are a dirty rat. If you are a man, and you sounded like a sorry excuse of a man, I bet you are fat and you don’t like to shave
and shower because you are too stupid and too lazy.
Go play with your own kind. Better yet, go jump in the Pacific Ocean with Bo May. He’s a dog just like you. A real hater this a hole is one.
Van Tran will be unemployed in November. He can’t get enough votes hahahha
Wow, look at all these racist Vietnamese.
You Vietnamese are pathetic people.
i can’t understand why you guys keep talking trash about Tan nguyen.,. read http://www.dumpsanchez.com There NEVER was an intimidation letter. sanchez used her friend the AG to send in storm troppers because she was doing poorly in 2006. Sanchez should go work in Iran where police raids against opponents are common. Tan is for immigration not ILLEGAL IMMGRATION. My wife is Cuban and has been waiting 3 years for a visa to come here. Who likes people who cut in line? Anyone who has views which are not “politically correct” is labeled a rascist. Sanchez is evil. Van Tran is juch a political hack
Dao, you will be deported back to commie nam…… you do not deserve to live in a imperialist state.
Roger Carson, a cuban? What are you doing here at Bolsavik?
We are supporting Mr. Van Tran!
Your political idol Castro wants a big kiss from you.
jose. s….. how is your chicken this morning? How is your worm… cruising inside of your straight beaner’s large intestine?
Jung Kim….. you’re an intolerant douchebag. I can’t stand people like you (whether they are Vietnamese or not).
jose.s…… your worm can stand up straight against Loretta?
That’s nice…. this whore needs to go!

Dao can become a male prostitute in nam…. I believe he is not a member of communist ruling party.
Xu, you stink like a used sanitary napkin! Do you know what that is?
Go visit women’s restroom.
xu, just stand up straight against whore Loretta with your little worm.
xu, I do not tolerate community losers. That’s all folks!
Go Viets!
Go Bolsavik!
Go Mr. Van Tran!

Idiot Vietnamese, no wonder the South lost the war.
And the little saigon lost face.
Idiot xu, no wonder your mom couldn’t spell after U!
Dumb family indeed!
Bo May, where is your white man chanting? White ass is losing it’s flavor?
‘We are supporting Mr. Van Tran!’ (Jung Kim)
Who are WE? Jung Kim?
I only see a few ignorant fools like you, viet pride, dathud. Who else?
Please tell.
We = All good decent Viets
We = Mr. Joseph Cao, Quag Pham,………..
Go Viets!
My recommendation list;
Mr. Van Tran = Congressman
Quang Pham = State Senator
Bolsavik = Supervisor
Tri Ta= Mayor
Who are WE in your statement that ‘we are supporting van tran’.
I know I am not supporting him.
Bo May, I am glad…..you are not counted because you are not a “decent viet ” community member.
http://www.joinvantran.com
We are supporting;
Assemblyman Van Tran, Mr. Joseph Cao, Quang Pham, Bolsavik, Tri Ta…
So some random white guy walked up to Van Tran and told him to hold up a sign with writing Van Tran disagreed with and still he did it anyway “to be courteous”? Please, it sounds more like Van Tran didn’t want to offend a white guy, any white guy. If that white guy told Van Tran to jump up and down ooh-aahing like a monkey, I bet Van Tran would do it just ‘to be courteous’.
Jung Kim;
“Decent viets”? What is your logic? Do you have ability to differentiate right from wrong?
Yes, and unfortunately you are not a “decent person”.
I do not see any thing close to ‘decent’ from van tran’s past and present or from his followers blogs.
Do you really think van tran is decent?
Junk Kim people like you embarass Vietnamese people everywhere. You and you filty mouth, you have no class whatsoever. Its people like you who will make morons like Van Tran and his cronies to lose every election they’re in.
Hey, Vinh Bean face, chill out!
Many elected Viet Americans are doing a fine job…..ie. Assemblyman Van Tran, Congressman Joseph Cao!
Bo May are your parents decent?
Then how come you are NOT?
This very blog proves that van tran is not decent.
Mr. Van Tran is decent and a great Assemblyman!

To you may be he is decent.
Two things could have happened in van tran’s mind while this photo taken.
Van Tran hold a sign when he was asked to do so and posed for pic.
He DID NOT READ the sign but go ahead and did exactly what the photographer asked him to do, then he is an ignorant fool, an idiot.
Clear and simple.
If he READ THE SIGN, but hold up the sign and posed for a photo anyway, then he is still an ignorant fool, an idiot.
Clear and simple.
He is not DECENT at all.

Thank you Wally;
Exactly my sentiment: These van tran supporters were at one time refugees like the rest of us, came to this country, built their lives with supports this country provided to them from day one.
As soon as they learned some dirty guttural English, they turned around criticizing the country they live in, biting the hands that fed them, barking like rabid dogs, insulting of anyone and everyone with that limited English they learned from the street. Do they have decency at all? Does van tran have any decency at all?
Oh, the the once proud viet community,
Oh, the inhumanity.
Bo May, had two things in his mind when our good leaders are successful.
HATE and JEALOUSY.
Hey, Walley Suckeye Tran,

Bo May, you have still that bad selfish refugee mindset….we had a bad refugee who was only worried about filling up his own stomach!
Bo May needs to be shipped out again!
Bo May, your parents were decent….but you are NOT!
Leave our viet community now and go live with your white boy friends.
And van tran fills his coffer with $750.00 a year by charging the state on the ‘room and board’ while living in his own home?
Do you really know what are you talking about?
Correction: …And van tran fills his coffer with $750,000.00 a year …
