No, no no… Tom Scott’s not OUT out – Tom’s a minister, and we all know that a man of faith would never consider sticking his penis into a sinful hole. No, the bigot Tom Scott is being term limited out of his County Commission seat .
Hillsborough County Commissioner Tom Scott said Wednesday he will run for the Tampa City Council seat held by Rose Ferlita.
City Councilman Shawn Harrison announced last month he is seeking the same citywide district post in the March 2007 election. Term limits will force Ferlita from her seat in 2007.
Scott, a Democrat, said he can help “bridge the divide between county and city government.”
He said his platform will include transportation, affordable housing and more efficient government.
Scott is a member of the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority board, Aviation Authority and Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority, among other panels.
He was first elected to the commission in November 1996 but is prohibited by term limits from seeking re- election to his District 3 after November 2006.
Scott, 51, also is senior pastor of 34th Street Church of God.

And as for the City Council race: Fuck Uncle Tom Scott. He’s voting for the same type of discrimination and hate that has been used against blacks and other minorities in this country for years, and by joining with the haters, he’s crawling into bed with the vilest elements of society .
The danger of the Jews/Gays spreading their disease throughout society, their enormous power despite tiny numbers, their ability to pass, their threat to children, their flaunting of their disagreement with the New Testament. It’s all so familiar. I think the arguments now made by some Christianists are replicas of the old anti-Semitism, peddled by so many Christians in the past: that Jews are to be loved, but loving them is dependent on their conversion to Christianity; that you can love individual Jews while disdaining Judaism; that Jews’ stubbornness in resisting conversion is evidence of their inherent evil; that such evil, at some point, has to be segregated from mainstream society as much as possible.
Anti-Semitism, homophobia, racial discrimination: it’s all the same disease.
Gays have become the all purpose repository for American bigotry — and we have a whole lot of it that needs a place to go. Without being able to use race or religion to assuage their soulless sense of insecurity, racists have found the only group that they feel they are still allowed to openly treat like animals. Gay bashing is the new code for all our lovely homegrown hatreds — and some European imports like anti-semitism too.
Typically a felony, anti-miscegenation laws prohibited the solemnization of weddings between races and prohibited the officiating of such ceremonies. Sometimes the individuals attempting to marry would not be held guilty of miscegenation itself, but felony charges of adultery or fornication would be charged against them instead.
The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930, also known as Hays Code; explicitly stated that the depiction of “miscegenation (sex relationships between the white and black races) is forbidden.”
Even though anti-miscegenation laws were ruled unconstitutional in the United States by the Supreme Court in 1967, those laws were not completely repealed in some states until November 2000 when Alabama became the last state to repeal its law. According to Salon.com: “In November 2000, after a statewide vote in a special election, Alabama became the last state to overturn a law that was an ugly reminder of America’s past, a ban on interracial marriage. The one-time home of George Wallace and Martin Luther King Jr. had held onto the provision for 33 years after the Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional. Yet as the election revealed — 40 percent of Alabamans voted to keep the ban — many people still see the necessity for a law that prohibits blacks and whites from mixing blood.”
An example of how anti-miscegenation laws were enacted can be seen during the 1930s, when the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws were enacted by the Nazis in Germany against the large German Jewish community, forbidding marriages between the Jews (deemed as Untermenschen – “lower people”) and German Aryans (deemed the Ãœbermenschen – “higher people”). “Rassenschande” (lit. race-disgrace) meaning “miscegenation” was a Nazi term for sexual conduct or liaison between an Aryan and a Jew, either of creed or ethnic status. Many interfaith and intermarried couples committed suicide when these laws came into effect.
