Erstwhile nominee for a Republican Congressional nomination sues Facebook, claiming that Facebook cost him a gig in Congress.

He was planning to campaign for the nomination via Facebook, so he could be the one to get steamrollered by John Dingell in the November election. Instead, he got steamrollered in the primary.

(Majed) Moughni then outlines a plan by which he would accumulate thousands of Facebook friends who in turn would “spread the message to overthrow the longest serving member of Congress,” in the general election against Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) who has been serving in the House of Representatives since 1955.

But instead of starting the next great internet-based political revolution, Moughni’s page was pulled by Facebook administrators last June 10, right around the time he had added his 1,600th “friend.” About two months later Moughni finished fourth in a crowded GOP primary field, Rep. John Dingell then easily captured his 29th term in November’s general election.

Facebook says that Mr. Moughni’s page was pulled “after he had received several warnings regarding ‘suspicious or anomalous behavior.'”

He wants just his page back.
