Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday.
A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding.
As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout

Eddie Adams, Jr. is a Black Conservative running against a white liberal woman. It has taken a week to break this story, the local Tampa Tribune, (a vaguely conservative newspaper)has studiously ignored it, as have the local conservative talk radio hosts.

As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout I wonder when Obama's people will just start putting tire necklaces on their opponents?

Think about it, how many times do you look under your truck? This is what happened.

I see Adams with some regularity at local GOP events. He is a kind and dedicated Republican. My prayers are with him.
At this point in the campaign, office workers with the Hillsborough County Sheriff have tallied 90 reports of vandalism against cars with Republican campaign bumper stickers, and 7 such incidents against cars with Democrat bumper stickers. Other incidents include the systematic and widespread vandalism or theft of Republican campaign signs. Eddie is running against Democrat Kathy Castor.

Oh, I believe it’s what happened. It’s just bizarre. I don’t think our truck could move with a mattress (!) under it; the poor man must have a very big truck!

The information has been in the newsroom of WFLA newsradio 970 since Monday, and so has Newsradio 820, and they have refused to report it. Interestingly, the blog Associated content, censored the news that this is a black man, very well respected by Republicans, who got this treatment.

I think this goes beyond vandalism. The man may have been killed. The guy, already burnt, tried to pull out the mattress and save his truck. Now that’s a Conservative........... I’d vote for him. :)
