We weren't really sure about writing about anti-abortion
Vermin, you may not know, is running for president. Of the United States. He failed to qualify for the ballot in Florida however, so his chances are greatly diminished -- or so the savants say.
Randall has set his sights lower than Vermin's. And higher. And even lower.
"Lower," because -- after he failed to seize the Democratic Party's presidential nomination from the incumbent Obama -- Randall's on the ballot in U.S. House District 20 against ten-term Congressman Alcee Hastings. "Higher," because his true aim is to deny Obama reelection. "Even lower," because there's no legal campaign tactic he won't stoop to.
Randall's walked on the wild side for more than 20 years now, ever since his Operation Rescue gained national notoriety for blockading abortion clinics. OR's 1991 "Summer of Mercy" blitzkrieg in Kansas lasted seven weeks and involved 2,600 arrests of 1,500 protesters. Randall himself has been booked more than 40 times in the culture wars, accumulating more than a year behind bars.
Randall raised enough cash to run scads of gross-out television commercials -- replete with dead fetuses -- across South Florida (and for good measure, in seven other battleground states). They've gotten a fair amount of attention, but how many votes they've won for Romney is anyone's guess.
Randall hopes to sway the many African-American voters in Hastings' district, relying on their supposedly strong Christian, "traditional values" orientation. But we don't think he's going to win many black hearts and minds for Mitt with his latest, below, and the resulting pissing match with Samuel L. Jackson.
