St. Petersburg Democratic Club (United States)
- St. Petersburg Democratic Club (United States)
The Saint Petersburg Democratic Club is a small political organization in St. Petersburg, Florida, which supports the United States Democratic Party. In April 2004, it attracted negative national attention after placing an advertisement in a Gulfport, Florida freesheet "The Gabber" suggesting the killing of United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The language used in the ad parodied that used by Rumsfeld referring to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The advertisement generated short-lived but high-profile attention in the national news media as a result of its hyperbolic tone, and was condemned by both Democrat and Republican leaders.
