Crist’s bus pulled into the parking lot of the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center at about noon Saturday and was greeted by a crowd of supporters, mostly black Democrats. Also on hand were Scott supporters, mostly white, carrying “shame on you” signs. Scott’s group included one person barking into a megaphone. Crist did not step out of the bus to address the crowd. Instead, he waved and smiled to supporters from the bus entrance before quickly departing the library parking lot. When Republican Party of Florida chairwoman Leslie Dougher held a media gaggle to bash Crist, she was drowned out by the din of pro-Crist supporters. Later, Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera gathered at an adjacent parking area farther from the library and echoed Dougher’s attacks against Crist.

But I was coming to post this - http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-rick-scott-coral-springs-20141024-story.html (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-rick-scott-coral-springs-20141024-story.html) Quote On Friday, Scott showed up at the Republican Victory Office in Coral Springs at an event put on by the Republican Business Network, with other groups such as the Coral Springs-Parkland Republican Club participating. Throughout the speech, standing beside Scott and his wife, Ann, was Maurice Woodside, former follower of Yahweh ben Yahweh, the late black supremacist cult leader convicted of conspiracy to murder. Woodside and three other men were clad in white T-shirts emblazoned with "Republicans are not Racist" in black marker. He is now a conservative who goes by Michael the Black Man. The Scotts and their campaign staff were unaware of Woodside's identity or history, according to a campaign spokesperson. |
