But it’s okay with Debbie if her party calls anyone who disagrees with them ‘terrorists’, members of the KKK, ignorant, bible thumpers? Oh, and this is a guy who is running for office in VA to replace Cantor. He worked for Larry Flynt at Hustler!

The Democratic hustle?

Former adult club employee finds resistance in political bid

Dickinson, a Henrico resident who has family in Chesterfield, already had delivered his message to Democrats throughout the district – Henrico, Louisa, Orange, Culpeper and Spotsylvania – but was stunned by what he called thinly veiled hostility from some of the women on the Chesterfield committee.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of everybody; no matter your background, everyone gets to have a seat at the table,” he said during an interview last week. “But they attacked me with every stereotype you could imagine. It was disappointing.”

Dickinson acknowledged that friends had advised him not to attend the Democrats’ meeting in Chesterfield. They warned him that a couple of women on the committee had been sending out emails “trying to rile people up” against his fledgling candidacy.

The subject of their ire: Dickinson’s six-year stint as an aide to Billy Pyliaris, owner of several Richmond gentleman’s clubs, including Daddy Rabbits and Candy Bar.

Dickinson, who holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s in urban planning from Virginia Commonwealth University, got his start in the adult industry while he was still in college. He wrote several commentaries about freedom of speech that were published by Hustler magazine. He even got to meet the magazine’s well-known publisher, Larry Flynt.

Dickinson claimed that Candy Graham, treasurer of the Chesterfield Democratic Committee, told him “There’s no way you can be for equality if you’ve worked in a strip club.”

“I knew I’d get some questions about it, but they were judging me before they even got to know me,” Dickinson said. “They acted like because I had any association with an adult club, I was the stereotypical guy running around slapping girls on the behind.”
