Thompson is a blithering idiot. read below. he should be disbarred for this sh|t.
Campaign against Janet Reno
Thompson first met Janet Reno in November 1975, when he applied for a job as an assistant State?s Attorney in Dade County, but was not hired.[6] In 1988, he ran for prosecutor against then incumbent Dade County State Attorney Janet Reno. At the time, Thompson was involved in a feud with local radio host Neil Rogers and Reno had declined his request to prosecute Rogers.[7] Thompson was instrumental in getting the FCC to fine Miami radio station WIOD $10,000 for airing such parody songs as ?Boys Want to Have Sex in the Morning? on Rogers? show.[3] Thompson also sued the station for violating a December 1987 agreement to end on-air harassment against him. Thompson had complained to the station after Rogers solicited homosexuals to join Thompson on his vacation; Rogers aired Thompson?s address and phone number. For the next eight months Thompson recorded all of Rogers? broadcasts and documented 40,000 mentionings of his name. He claimed one of the terms of his agreement with the station was that it would pay him $5,000 each time his name was mentioned, totaling $200 million in the suit.[8]
Thompson gave Reno a letter at a campaign event requesting that she check a box to indicate whether she was homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. Thompson said that Reno then put her hand on his shoulder and responded, ?I?m only interested in virile men. That?s why I?m not attracted to you.?[9][10] He filed a police report accusing her of battery for touching him. In response, Reno asked Florida governor Bob Martinez to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate.[11] The special prosecutor rejected the charge, concluding that it was ?a political ploy.? Reno was ultimately re-elected with 69% of the vote. Thompson repeated allegations that Reno was a lesbian when she was nominated as U.S. Attorney General, leading one of her supporters, lieutenant governor Buddy MacKay, to dismiss him as a ?kook.?[9]
In 1990, after his election loss, Thompson began a campaign against the efforts of Switchboard of Miami, a social services group of which Reno was a board member. Thompson charged that the group placed ?homosexual-education tapes? in public schools. Switchboard responded by getting the Florida Supreme Court to order that he submit to a psychiatric examination. Thompson did so and passed, and since then has stated on more than one occasion that he is ?the only officially certified sane lawyer in the entire state of Florida.?[12]
