House candidate Joshua Black, who called for President Obama to be hanged, resigns from Pinellas GOP
By Peter Schorsch on January 21, 2014


Joshua Black, a Republican candidate for the Florida House who said that President Barack Obama should be hanged, has resigned from the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee.

On Monday – Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it should be noted – Black (who is African-American) enthusiastically agreed with a supporter’s suggestion that the president of the United States of America be tried for non-specific treason and then executed via hanging.

Black’s comments were immediately rebuke from politicians from across the state, including Governor Rick Scott and Florida GOP chair Lenny Curry.

On Tuesday, Scott resigned his membership in the Pinellas GOP, according to party chairman Michael Guju. Black was a precinct chair in the PCREC.

1. it says still on the ballot or perhaps still trying to--rather early yet

now easy for him to say he is running to the right of the party
wonder how he will do

[Ikonoklast]

2. The Secret Service visit must have been quite direct and to the point.

Another loudmouth who thought he could get away with talking political assassination and say he was just joking.

7. Bites the dust.

3. Thank goodness

Good riddance. What a freak.

[gopiscrap]

4. what a racist, ignorant fucker

he needs to have his ass in jail!

[Cha]

8. Yep.. they come in all

sizes shapes and colors.

5. fastest I've ever noticed Rs comment on and kick out, one of their own.

Wonder who the GOP will place in his position now.

11. I'm gonna guess

an old white male.

[ReasonableToo]

12. I think they look for...

...African Americans to pay to join politics and say things almost this nasty. This guy may have overstepped the guidelines that Allen west seems to navigate well. It cost him a well-paid gig.

Just some speculation on my part...

[George II]

17. David Duke?

[Hulk]

6. Couldn't care less what his color of skin is...

...he is a stinking fool. I feel the same toward the black "one-term-congress'wus allen west". Worthless, sick bastards....anyone who would spout off publicly such nonsense.

[Aerows]

9. There always seems to be some jackass whose go to

macho answer is "kill somebody". Idiot.

[lpbk2713]

10. He might as well quit.

Members of his own party thought of him as an embarrassment.

Maybe he ought to stick to driving a cab.

[Historic NY]

13. But he is still on the ballot.

[lastlib]

14. ...and still consuming oxygen.....

--the human race's oxygen

[mtnester]

15. He will just go behind the scenes....he will be a hero to many of the the tea party jihadists

or become the RNC chairman

but never a mainstream candidate..they would never allow that.

Stupid, stupid man. Hopefully, someone will give him a clue. Doubt it though.

16. I wonder if Josh Black

is one of "the blacks" that Donald Trump said that he gets along with well.

18. Non-specific treason?

Why not non-specific rape, murder, theft, or even jay-walking?
