Raving bigot E.W. Jackson is holding a fundraiser tonight with ANOTHER raving bigot, Allen West

Somehow this rally (which happened last Thursday) escaped my notice. Saw it today on DailyKos:

Favorite quote:
"As D. Leslie Schreiber writes at Bacon's Rebellion: "The persistent support of the candidacy of E.W. Jackson is indicative of a sickness in [the Republican] party not seen since the rise of the America First-ers protesting American participation in the European war against Germany. The silence of the leadership of the G.O.P. in this state raises significant questions about their political motivation and courage.""
