Creative Loafing has the scoop on a flyer that’s been making the rounds around the Toco Hills area – and posted this morning on Peach Pundit -  showing a picture of Yasser Arafat with three other guys (none of which are Carter), and asserting that 70% of District 42 candldate Jason Carter’s campaign funds come from outside the district and 40% from outside the state.  It also mentions a $9,600 donation made by someone named Amir Emami (also not in the deceiving flyer, according to Carter), who lives in Hong Kong.

CL reports that Carter and his campaign have responded, calling the flyer “completely erroneous and wrong” and provided facts to dispute both the claim that Emami gave $9,600 (he gave the legal max of $4,800) and that 40% of Carter’s contributers are based outside the state. (They have it at more like 27%.)

Carter’s opponent Tom Stubbs has also condemned the note on Peach Pundit and released his own press release calling for the State Ethics Comittee to investigate the flyer. Stubbs release can be read at the bottom of the CL article.
