Political Candidate Accuses Senator Of Frequenting Strip Club

POSTED: 3:27 pm EDT July 27, 2006
UPDATED: 9:42 pm EDT July 27, 2006

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- More than a month before the start of the Florida primary, Election 2006 has begun to heat up.

The race to watch is the battle for the Republican nomination for Jacksonville's Senate seat, which has candidate Randall Terry accusing incumbent Jim King of having the backing of a bikini bar.

Terry, 46, who has lived in Ponte Vedra Beach for three years, will run against King in the heavily Republican district that stretches from Duval County to northern Volusia County.


Randall Terry

In a move Terry called disappointing and sad, Gov. Jeb Bush publicly announced Wednesday that he is endorsing King.


Sen. Jim King

King has served in the Legislature since 1986, which was the last time he had a primary opponent. He was Senate president in 2003 and 2004.

3. I was gonna be nonpartisan and ask
"Who cares who's frequenting a legal establishment?" regardless of whether the accuser was republican or democrat.

Turns out they're both republicans. :rofl:

16. If I were King, I would respond "at least you know I am not gay"
"Why don't you go to strip clubs Mr. Terry"

Would love to see Fundies go after eachother like that.

5. What a weak article

It should say, " Right-wing, anti-choice crusader, Randall Terry, accuses primary opponent of invading his territory."

Randall Terry has been spent over 15 years paying way too much unwanted attention to women's anatomy. I think he's mad about the competition.

6. LOL
Next to Stud's Pub (where the dancers are toothless and tattooed)... WackedHos is one of the sleaziest strip clubs in Cowford (Jacksonville's original name). You'd think that a State Senator would have more couth. And the only real reason I could think of that a Senator might want to 'indulge' at WackedHos, particularly, is perhaps to patron some of the "working ladies" at these clubs.

The Southern Baptists down here in Cowford sure like their bikini clubs and gentleman's clubs, though. Hell, the Gold Club (on Gen. Doolittle Road), that you mentioned, is sitting on Federally protected land and doesn't have to adhere to most of the city's ordinances.

Another interesting note: here in Cowford... You have to be 21 years of age to go to a bikini club to see a woman dance half nude and drink alcohol. But you only have to be 18 years old to see a woman dance fully nude and NOT drink.

7. Former Bikini Bar Employees Say ...
They Saw Senator In Club

So, Terry didn't actually SEE King in there, but his friends, the strippers who work there, ran and told him all about it.

8. Randall Terry isn't considered white as the driven snow by his own
fellow fundamentalists. Here's a letter of censure from his old anti-choice church pastor:
Letter of Church Censure: Randall Terry
The Landmark Church, 126 Court St., Binghamton, NY
November 6, 1999

In keeping with the language and intent of chapter 30 of the Westminster Confession we write: "Church censures are necessary for the reclaiming and gaining of offending brethren, for the deterring of others of the like offenses, for purging out of that leaven which might infect the whole lump, for vindicating the honor of Christ and the holy profession of the Gospel, and for preventing the wrath of God which might justly fall upon the church if they should suffer His covenant and the seals thereof to be profaned by obstinate offenders."

Letter of Church Censure: Randall Terry, November 6, 1999

1. For leaving his wife in preparation to divorce, annul or otherwise dissolve their Christian marriage, and for his unwillingness to repent of this sin we do hereby censure him.

2. For a pattern of repeated sinful relationships and conversations with both single and married women we do hereby censure him.

3. For presenting a letter from his attorney threatening legal action against the Landmark Church, thus threatening to place the Church of Christ under civil authority for performing their Christian duty toward him we do hereby censure him.

4. In addition to those things mentioned above we are concerned that Randall's personal and theological transformation over the last three years has left him altogether a different Randall Terry than the one who now solicits funds from his donors. For example, in sending out a recent fund raising letter he wrote, "I know that you believe what I believe." This lacks integrity since the vast majority of his donors have no idea what he now believes nor the liberties and license in which he now walks, and in our opinion would hardly agree to support him if they did. For this we admonish him to cease soliciting funds until such time as his public persona and his true manner of living are known to be the same.

12. Wow! Strip club vs. aiding abbetting and supporting a murderer
Who is Randall Terry?

Additional evidence suggests that actions by Terry and Operation Rescue may have provoked violence at abortion clinics. As the New York Times reported on July 20, 2001, "One of his most avid followers in Binghamton was James E. Kopp, now charged in the 1998 murder of a doctor who performed abortions in Buffalo ." Kopp was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. A November 6, 1998, Times report further detailed Terry's connection to Kopp:

In July 1988, when Randall Terry drove through the night from his home in Binghamton, N.Y., to Atlanta to start the series of anti-abortion protests that would finally put his new hard-line group, Operation Rescue, onto America's front pages, James Charles Kopp was in the van riding alongside him, said former leaders of Operation Rescue.

And when Mr. Terry was arrested on the first day of Operation Rescue's "Siege of Atlanta," Mr. Kopp followed him into jail, said the leaders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Along with more than 100 other Operation Rescue members, according to some people who were there, Mr. Kopp remained in jail for 40 days and adhered to Mr. Terry's orders not to give a real name to the police or courts.

After his release, Mr. Kopp returned to Operation Rescue's Binghamton headquarters, and was there working alongside Mr. Terry as the group's power and influence in the anti-abortion movement surged in late 1988 and 1989, according to the former leaders of Operation Rescue.

As CNN noted on March 4, 1998, Terry was named in a lawsuit -- seeking to "force anti-abortion leaders to pay for damages caused in clinic attacks" -- which was filed by the National Organization for Women (NOW) under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, and Terry settled with NOW out of court. The New York Times reported on November 8, 1998, that Terry "filed for bankruptcy last week in an effort to avoid paying massive debts owed to women's groups and abortion clinics that have sued him." As the Los Angeles Times reported on February 28, Terry's use of bankruptcy law to avoid paying for the judgments against him helped prompt Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) to propose an amendment to the bankruptcy bill recently passed by Congress that "specifically would prevent abortion opponents from using the bankruptcy code to escape paying court fines," although it was not included in the final version of the bill. Versions of that amendment appeared in earlier versions of the bankruptcy bill, which stalled action on it in 2002 and 2003 when "a core of House Republicans balked" at the provision, the Los Angeles Times noted.

13. While this is amusing, what I find most troubling
is the fact that either one of these guys has a legitimate chance to WIN A SEAT IN A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT!!!!

Are the people in this county really that desperate?
