Disavowed atheist to run for Congress
Larry Darby, the controversial Holocaust denier who garnered 160,000 votes
but lost in the Democratic primary for attorney general, announced Tuesday
his intentions to run for Congress in 2008.
Darby, who recently disavowed atheism and closed the Montgomery-based
Atheist Law Center, said he would run as a Democrat for the second
Congressional District, a position currently held by Rep. Terry Everett, a
Republican.
"The Democratic Party needs to be cleaned out and reformatted, and Larry
Darby is the person to do it," Darby said.
Jim Spearman, director of the Alabama Democratic Party, said Darby would
have to meet the principals of the Democratic Party to run as a Democrat.
"What he showed in this last campaign, he did not meet the principals of
the Democratic Party," Spearman said. "He would need to change some of his
views. He has a few years to do that."
