Jim Greer denounces Florida Republican Party officials as liars, 'right-wing crazies' in deposition

By Lucy Morgan, Times Senior Correspondent

TALLAHASSEE — In a wide-ranging deposition that spanned two days in late May, former Florida Republican Party chairman Jim Greer denounced some party officials as liars and "whack-a-do, right-wing crazies'' as he described turmoil in the months before his resignation.

Greer said some GOP leaders were meeting to discuss ways they could suppress black votes while others were constantly scheming against each other.

He blamed criminal fraud charges filed against him in 2010 on legislative leaders and other party officials who he says orchestrated an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the statewide grand jury to avoid paying him money he was due.

His statements were in response to questions from lawyers for the party, Senate President Mike Haridopolos and Sen. John Thrasher. Greer has filed a lawsuit against the party and the two officials in an attempt to collect $130,000 he was promised in a written agreement shortly before he resigned. The lawsuit, pending in Leon County, is unlikely to be resolved until after a criminal trial scheduled for mid November.

Greer may be guilty as shit, but it's still bad news for the current power structure of the repub party in FL. The rest of the article is very interesting.
Copies of the 630-page deposition and other documents were released by statewide prosecutors Wednesday.

Greer's testimony offers a window into the level of animosity that exists between Greer and the party he once ran.

1. And what did Mr. Greer say in 2000?

When DBT was paid $4 million by the state of Florida to remove
at least 50,000 legal voters (blacks) from the voter rolls in order
to install an AWOL going alcoholic man who had already driven
2 or 3 businesses into the ground.

The demographics show that the only way the republicans will
keep any sort of power is by voter suppression, election rigging,
and gerrymandering. The party of Lincoln, Ike, and Margaret
Chase Smith is now just a lying brutal group of anti democratic
shits.
