Teen son of Klansman wins vote for GOP post - W. Palm Beach


West Palm Beach!! good grief

Did we witness the birth of a mini David Duke in West Palm Beach Tuesday night?

Derek Black - the 19-year-old product of the marriage between former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard Don Black and the former wife of white supremacist politician Duke - won his first election.

He's now a Republican Party committeeman. His job is primarily to ensure that voters in District 29, which runs alongside Southern Boulevard east of Dixie, vote Republican.

But that job may not be his for long. Already, the GOP has moved to kick him out.

Tuesday's contest wasn't even a squeaker: Derek Black won with 58 percent of the votes, 167 out of 287. His opponent was Eduardo Burkhart. The 47-year-old, who's deaf, made news last year when Gov. Charlie Crist used Burkhart's attempts to sell his condo on Flagler as a prop to illustrate why lower property taxes were needed.

1. Why on earth would the GOP kick him out? That's their base.

4. Good grief! USA Today highlighted his work putting together a
page for kids on Daddy's website, Stormfront. He's been an active, nasty piece of work for a while, eh?
