As schoolyard tactics mount, Florida Dem chief lashes out at Scott campaign | Post On Politics

This recalls the days when we had local fundraisers and meet-and-greets at various residences in Lake Worth. One candidate made the mistake of publishing the planned events ahead of time, on social media, for everyone to see. Well, everyone did see, including the opposition. Wouldn't you know, our pals Dee and Larry, showed up at every one heckling and handing out fliers in front of host's homes. The fliers were usually negative copy related to the candidate having the fundraiser. Part of keeping it classy in Lake Worth. This article made me think of those tactics. Click title for link.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant lashed out Friday at Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s campaign for sending more than a dozen protesters to a recent fund-raiser at her home where they harassed guests and photographed the license tags of those attending.
The Florida Republican Party in concert with the Scott campaign has been dispatching handfuls of operatives for months to demonstrate, chant and shout questions at appearances by Democratic nominee Charlie Crist or his supporters.
But Tant said crashing the private fund-raising affair at her Tallahassee home took the middle-school tactics too far.
