The Palm Beach Post has aggressively and professionally exposed corruption in Palm Beach County politics for many years, but the relentless attacks on the Dave Aronberg campaign are not in keeping with the paper’s high standards of the past.

In his Sunday column, "Scary silence on threat to Palm Beach County justice system," Editor of the Editorial Page Randy Schultz seems almost indignant that no one will carry his banner against this "threat to the Palm Beach County justice system." he refers to the "Aronberg conspirators" and "Aronberg and his gang," and calls his campaign sleazy three times in the same column while comparing its tactics to the criminal actions of former County Commissioner Mary McCarty and the opponents of State Attorney Barry Krisher in 1996. The Palm Beach Post should not criticize unfair tactics in the state attorney’s race unless it does so in the fair and balanced manner of the past.

Why the tea party tactics?

In the light of what has been put forth as evidence, your editorial campaign against Dave Aronberg seems almost tea partyish in it’s vindictiveness.

Criticism of Krischer went way over the top

Randy Schultz’s column, "Scary silence on threat to Palm Beach County justice system," was "scary" to me.

Four weeks ago, The Palm Beach Post ran a story stating that Judge Krista Marx had withdrawn her consideration of a run for state attorney because of a rumor. mr. Schultz now cites the refusal by former Attorney General Bob Butterworth, current Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer to confirm the rumor as some sort of sinister coverup. Nowhere was there a question asking, "if the rumor were true, why would Judge Marx be so frightened of having her husband, Judge Joe Marx, have to face (gasp) a re-election challenge, and why would she be intimidated by just the rumor of an ethics probe?"

Most troubling to me is the fury directed at Barry Krischer for refusing to substantiate the rumor because, after all, The Post got him elected and, therefore, he owes you. this smacks of tabloid journalism. It is The Post’s responsibility to verify the truth before publication, not to blast persons who refuse to confirm or deny the story after the fact.

Post’s anti-Aronberg agenda crosses impartiality lines

I feel the need to comment on Robert Gershman’s request for the media’s help in defeating his very qualified opponent for Palm Beach County state attorney, former state Sen. Dave Aronberg, and to express my dismay that The Palm Beach Post would print mr. Gershman’s request in what was supposed to be a news article ("Election law claim won’t be probed.")

The Post’s anti-Aronberg agenda continues to cross the line between objective reporting and political campaigning. is it any wonder why the public is disgusted with the media? GOP super PACs pay for TV ads that don’t distort the truth; they demolish it. And we can’t trust our newspapers to print the truth, either.

Dave Aronberg is an honest, hard-working, dedicated public servant. he has the support of multiple law-enforcement agencies, all of which know that he is the perfect candidate for state attorney. The Post does itself and its readers a great disservice by overtly participating in the campaign of mr. Aronberg’s opponent.

Refuse donations from possible future employees

I understand why the employees at the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office would be intimidated by the prospect of investigating David Aronberg for ethical misbehavior when he could very likely be their boss after the election ("Rival: Aronberg broke campaign law.") Intimidation is what was intended when he solicited money from those same employees for his election campaign.

Interim State Attorney Peter Antonacci is right when he says his office should not lead such an investigation because it "would carry the appearance of impropriety," but that doesn’t mean that mr. Aronberg’s behavior should be ignored by the governor and the Florida Elections Commission. Knowing right from wrong should be pretty easy in this case. instead of putting the bite on future employees for donations, an ethical candidate would refuse to accept any contribution from that group.
