Once Again, Florida Serves Up Campaign Crazy: Ex-KKK Leader Running For Mayor

video
» 72 comments

Doesn’t it feel like forever since that witch lady ran for Senate? Well rest easy, folks, we’ve got some classic candidate crazy thanks to our friend in Florida. John Paul Rogers is running for mayor of Lake Wales, and he’s pretty ticked off at his opponent’s dirty tricks. What’d the other guy do? Well, for starters, he mentioned Rogers’ past membership in the Ku Klux Klan. C’mon! How’s that even relevant? “It’s a shame that in a small city like Lake Wales where most everyone knows one another you have this kind of muckraking and character assassination,” Rogers complained to Tampa station WTSP.

I mean, geez, that’s like ancient history. Rogers says he quit the Klan years ago. Now sure, he wasn’t just a member, he was Grand Dragon. And his tenure in that leadership role’s led to some nasty charges in the Lake Wales mayor’s race:

“My opponent’s been going around saying I hung somebody in the park two years ago. Well, we have a city ordinance against that and I’m sure the police would have put me in jail if I would have done that.”

Here’s the story, from WTSP:

    Ooooh – Goody!

    Time to play, Name That Party!

    Since there is zero mention of his political party, one must assume he’s a Democrat.

  • Black and Gold Brad

    ‘Cause if he is a Republican, that would have been mentioned in the Headline, the 1st paragraph, 2nd paragraph, 7 times in the 3rd graf, etc.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    He’s a Democrat , just like all the crooked officials in Bell, California , just like Rod Blagojevich , Tony Rezco , Garth , Jesse Jackson , Jesse Jackson , jr. , Barney Frank , John Edwards , BFD , Chris Dodd , Charlie Rangel , Real Royal King , Eliot Spitzer , Ed Rendell , Arlen Spector and Barry Obama .

    Yeah What party is this man apart of?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Good call, Brad.

    Mark, you can’t possibly deny that. Can’t you guys for once try from some journalistic integrity?

    Of course he is. It’s easy to tell.

    When the MSM avoids mentioning the political party = Democrat
    If Republican, that fact would have been mentioned at least 15 times over 4 grafs + headline.

    C’mon Joyella.

  • http://www.heartland.org/environmentandclimate-news.org/ClimateConference4 Just Tex

    Yo Mark Joyella, why don’t you try to find out if this Democrat candidate, John Paul Rogers, inherited W. Virginia’s long time favorite Democrat Ku Klux Klansman, Robert Byrd’s used sheets and funny pointy hat?

    Now THAT would be a worthwhile story…

  • Nacho

    Since they’re both Democrats, I bet the Republicans will vote for this guy.

  • Black and Gold Brad

    Perhaps Mediaite should start running some items on their own writers, as it seems Mr. Joyella has an issue tagging Democratic lawmakers as Ds.

    When that nicely insane congressmen melted down a few months ago, and his staff had an intervention, somehow Mr. Joyella overlooked his political party too:

    Nonsense. It was ignored for months and wasn’t even touched on by the BIG four alphabet networks, that is, until they found a way to spin away from it, just as other BIG news was breaking. Then, and only then, did they offer back burner coverage and skirted past it as fast as they could, and very quickly moved on to other stories.

    IF it had been a Republican story, it would have been front page top of the fold / headline coverage, and have been hammered relentlessly day after day after day. If your coherent, and even somewhat sane, you know that’s the truth.

    Look, every poll of “journalist” and their affiliated workers, for at least the last 40 years, clearly show that those in working within large market Media lean far toward the political left.

    And, we also know that until the recent advent of cable tv news, and the even more recent HUGE expansion of internet news sources, most Americans got most of their news from the same group of people working within those large media markets. Those are facts that can’t be disputed. Not by anyone even close to being sane.

    Bernard Goldberg was the first BIG INSIDE player to blow the lid off those facts. And that Genie won’t ever be put back into the bottle.

    Just because you and those like you cloister yourselves into a growing ever more tiny media bubble, that in large part ONLY agrees with your once unchecked left leaning neo-Marxist political point of view, doesn’t mean the rest of us are interested in following you lemmings over that cliff.

    Get used to being called out for lying and telling half truths, as you so often do. For you and those like you, it ain’t gonna get any better. That is, unless O-Bummer gets his “Internet Throttle”. But that’s not EVER going to happen. Ever!

    You DO realize that Whites have been quoting the Bible to justify Segregation for centuries. Still do today. Take a look:

    ” 1. God wills all races to be as He made them. Any violation of God’s original purpose manifests insubordination to Him(Acts 17:26; Romans 9:19-24)
    2. God made everything to reproduce “After his own kind” (Genesis 1:11-12, 21-25; 6:20; 7:14). Kind means type and color or He would have kept them all alike to begin with.
    3. God originally determined the bounds of the habitations of nations(Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5, 32; 11:8; Deuteronomy 32:8)
    4. Miscegenation means the mixture of races, especially the black and white races, or those of outstanding type or color. The Bible even goes farther than opposing this. It is against different branches of the same stock intermarrying such as Jews marrying other descendants of Abraham(Ezra 9-10; Nehemiah 9-13; Jeremiah 50:37; Ezekiel 30:5).
    5. Abraham forbad Eliezer to take a wife for Isaac of Canaanites (Genesis 24:1-4). God was so pleased with this that He directed whom to get (Genesis 24:7, 12-27).
    6. Isaac forbad Jacob to take a wife of the Canaanites (Genesis 27:46-28:7).
    7. Abraham sent all his sons of the concubines, and even of his second wife, far away from Isaac so their descendants would not mix (Genesis 25:1-6)
    8. Esau disobeying this law brought the final break between him and his father after lifelong companionship with him(Genesis 25:28; 26:34-35, 27:46; 28:8-9).
    9. The two branches of Isaac remained segregated forever (Genesis 30; 46:8-26).
    10. Ishmael and Isaac’s descendants remained segregated forever (Genesis 25:12-23; 1 Chronicles 1:29)
    11. Jacob’s sons destroyed a whole city to maintain segregation (Genesis 34)
    12. God forbad intermarriage between Israel and all other nations (Exodus 34:12-16; Deuteronomy 7:5-6)
    13. Joshua forbad the same thing on sentence of death (Joshua 22:12-13)
    14. God cursed angels for leaving their own “first estate” and “their own habitation” to marry the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7)
    15. Miscegenation caused Israel to be cursed (Judges 3:6-7; Numbers 25:1-8)
    16. This was Solomon’s sin (I Kings 11)
    17. This was the sin of Jews returning from Babylon (Ezra 9:1-10:2,10-18,44; 13:1-30)
    18. God commanded Israel to be segregated (Leviticus 20:24; Numbers 23:9; 1 Kings 8:53)
    19. Jews recognized as a separate people in all ages because of Gods choice and command (Matthew 10:6; John 1:11). Equal rights in the gospel gives no right to break this eternal law.
    20. Segregation between Jews and all other nations to remain in all eternity (Isaiah 2:2-4; Ezekiel 37; 47:13-48,55; Zechariah 14:16-21; Matthew 19:28; Luke 1:32-33; Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5)
    21. All nations will remain segregated from one another in their own parts of the earth forever (Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5,32; 11:8-9; Deuteronomy 32:8; Daniel 7:13-14; Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15; 21:24)
    22. Certain people in Israel were not even to worship with others (Deuteronomy 23:1-5; Ezra 10:8; Nehemiah 9:2 10:28; 13:3)
    23. Even in heaven certain groups will not be allowed to worship together (Revelation 7:7-17; 14:1-5; 15:2-5)
    24. Segregation was so strong in the O.T. that an ox and an ass could not work together (Deuteronomy 22:10).
    25. Miscegenation caused disunity among God’s people (Numbers 12).
    26. Stock was forbidden to be bred with other kinds (Leviticus 19:19).
    27. Sowing mixed seed in the same field was unlawful (Leviticus 19:19)
    28. Different seeds were forbidden to be planted in vineyards (Deuteronomy 22:9)
    29. Wearing garments of mixed fabrics forbidden (Deuteronomy 22:11; Leviticus 19:19)
    30. Christians and certain other people of a like race are to be segregated (Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13; 6:15; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15; Ephesians 5:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-16; 1 Timothy 6:5; 2 Timothy 3:5).

    Cobra,
    I checked out your link and you do realize you copy and pasted some group who believes in a heresy where they believe they are the “lost tribes of Israel” or Replacement Theology”, right? Check out Numbers 12, John 4, Luke 10:30-36 “The Good Samaritan”, Acts 8, and especially Rev. 7:9,10 (no believers are “segregated” there). If you want to have a civil, honest debate about Biblical issues, fine. If you want to copy/paste something that you think will earn you cheap and false political points, I’m not interested. Read the Bible for yourself. Don’t rely on some bloggers website……

    Whites have also used the Cain and Abel story to justify racism in some instances, but it was a bit stupid if you think about it..

    The thing is anything can be used to justify anything, as long as it is understandable to people.

    the funny thing is how people take an almost unknown sentence from the bible and then use it to justify horrible things, or to justify banning something that isn’t bad(like homosexuality), while they entirely forget what Jesus said “Love your neighbour as yourself”
