Letters to the editor

Calling it like it is

Editor:

This is in response to Sonja Gedeon’s article "Toeing the Klan
line,"

Oct. 31.

I am proud to be a conservative. If she had said to my face that
as a

conservative I am an advocate of the Ku Klux Klan, it would have
taken the

strength of every fiber of my being to restrain myself from
breaking her

nose right then and there. There is political rhetoric, and
there is

ignorant hate speech. Gedeon has engaged in the latter.

Her extrapolation of her experience with a "conservative" named
John to

ALL conservatives is INSANE. As a conservative, most of my views
are

derived from principles of responsible money management. This
has

absolutely nothing to do with the racist ideology of the
KKK!

Conservatives’ vision for America is not based on racism. Gedeon
should

put forth an apology for her insulting, slanderous propaganda.
Gedeon’s

brand of hate is deceptive and divisive. SHE and her kind are
the ones who

inject the race factor into issues, NOT conservatives. She is
a

disgrace.Michael C. MacNeil
