3 Found Dead in Home of Tom Feeney Campaign Consultant, Friend
Ralph Gonzalez, Whose Firm Created 'CrazyClintCurtis.com' Smear Website, Apparently Murdered
Gonzalez's Strategum Group consulted for Feeney, Worked with Ralph Reed, GA Rep. Tom Price

-- Guest Blogged by Steve Huff, with additional updates by Brad Friedman.

Police are investigating a possible double murder and suicide in an Orlando, Florida, residence owned by the former Executive Director of the Georgia Republican Party.

The Orange County Sheriff was called to 2420 Hickory Oak Blvd. in Orlando early Thursday. There they found three dead white men and two live dogs. The men may have been dead since Tuesday.

The home where they were found dead was owned by a political consultant/strategist of Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), the one who worked on the Congressman's smear campaign against vote-rigging whistleblower Clint Curtis last year...

1. Brad, this had me draw up an earlier blog of yours on Ray Lemme. Any ties?

Here is a link to an earlier thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1654131

Of course the link to both stories is Feeney.

3. We report, you decide :-)

A late update to the story linked in the original post above mentions the ties to Lemme, etc.

Good memory. Ugly story.

8. So, what does Clint Curtis have to say about this?

He's had threats from Feeney connections before.

2. Murder or toothpaste? When I read your line of "three dead white

men and two live dogs," all I could think about was the old line about a pol in trouble in a motel and someone asks if he's with a dead girl or a live boy.

4. A Feeny connection!

Wasn't there another suspicious death related to the Clint Curtis thing? I could swaer I read something like that @ BradBlog. Maybe with the Yangs?

5. Let Me Guess: Some Are Going To Take This And Run With It As Some Overly Complicated Void Of Logic

conspiracy theory right? :rofl:

Seems like a typical lovers quarrel turned homocide suicide to me. But I still have a feeling some are going to turn it into some totally unrealistic ridiculous conspiracy somehow LOL

No more making fun of senators and diapers. The shit is hitting the fan for them.

9. one of the murdered had been investigated by the Secret Service in 1992

Abrami, an attorney, drew Secret Service scrutiny in 1992 while still a student at the University of Central Florida.

As vice president of the Central Florida Young Republican Club, the 22-year-old senior announced a Turkey Shoot fundraiser where members could pay $2 to fire a shotgun at enlarged photos of then-President Clinton.

"This will be fun for the entire family," Abrami told the Orlando Sentinel before the Secret Service persuaded him to raise money some other way. "They came down hard on us, saying we threatened the president, things like that."

12. Foley, Allen, ?Crist?, now maybe these guys.. makes you wonder if the "Velvet Mafia" thing has a

more tangible reality to it in the Florida GOP.

Its still unclear who shot who, but I do know that his own roommate didn’t know he was gay. I just hope it wasn’t Rob that did the killing but rather he was an unfortunate victim of either murderous intolerance or jealous rage. We shall see.
