Charlie Crist likes to take credit for being the civil rights guy, including getting this law passed. Nice work if you can get it, but Charlie hasn't done much with the law, which Gov. Bush signed in 2003. He could have prosecuted the people responsible for Omar Paisely's death with that law, and he could have done something about Martin Lee Anderson, the 14-year-old who was beaten senseless and suffocated to death at a Bay County boot camp. But he didn't. And accusing 4 dead Klansmen of a 1951 killing doesn't count. You might want to stop touting that law in your commercials, Charlie. Update: By the way, it appears that the "vote for Charlie -- whether you want to or not..." electronic voting machine madness has already begun in ... surprise! ... the Democratic stronghold of South Florida -- the one region where Crist stands to lose to Jim Davis. Don't you just love Florida? Florida has a rough history on the subject of race. And while Charlie Crist may have some good points, sorry, but civil rights isn't one of them.
