A Florida man has been charged with attempting to run over controversial Republican congresswoman Katherine Harris with his Cadillac. According to the below Sarasota Police Department report, Barry Seltzer, 46, told cops that he was simply exercising his "political expression" when he drove his car at Harris and several supporters, who were campaigning last night at a Sarasota intersection. Seltzer--pictured at right in a booking photo--allegedly drove up on a sidewalk and headed directly for Harris before swerving "at the last minute." Harris told officers that "she was afraid for her life and could not move as the vehicle approached her," according to the report. For his part, Seltzer--who's a registered Democrat--told cops, "I intimidated them with the car. They were standing in the street." He added, "I did not run them down, I scared them a little!" That explanation did not stop investigators from arresting Seltzer for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. Harris, Florida's former secretary of state, is best known for her role in the aftermath of the state's disastrous 2000 presidential election.

A person of tolerance and diversity just ran me down with their SAAB.
Did he swerve or was he just leaning too far to the "left"?
(putz.)
Trust me, it won't be their last attempt.
The guy should be charged with attempted murder.
Are you series? This could be hugh!
Release him and send him to me. I will be happy to provide him some object (and bloody) lessons in "political expression" with a blunt instrument.
"controversial Republican congresswoman Katherine Harris"
Amazing how standing up for your beliefs can label you "controversial".
Are you series? This could be hugh!
Are those bruises all over his face? You really have to duck your head before you get into the back of the cop car ;-)
yes he should. his phone number has already been posted in sarsota and someone will soon have his address. ...
I wonder if he was reading the Gaurdian this past weekend
Hey, Selzer, if they were in the street, as you claim, why did you have to drive up on the sidewalk??????? The cRATS are unhinged.
Katherine Harris happens to be a U.S Congressman. The man admitted what he did and it seems like a clear case of attempted murder to me..book this guy!!!!!!
