Subject: Letters Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2000 22:49:08 -0600 From: "Armond C. Simmons" Organization: SIMMONSPORT To: Washinton Times In an MSNBC interview, Mr. Paul Begala, Democratic Advisor to Algore described a map of the "red" Republican states inside andaround the "blue" Democratic Urban Centers of America as follows: "You see the state where James Byrd was lynch-dragged behind a pickup truck until his body came apart--it's red. You see the state where Matthew Shepard was crucified on a split-rail fence for the crime of being gay--it's red. You see the state where right-wing extremists blew up a federal office building and murdered scores of federal employees--it's red. The state where an Army private who was thought to be gay was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat, and the state where neo-Nazi skinheads murdered two African-Americans because of their skin color, and the state where Bob Jones University spews its anti-Catholic bigotry: they're all red too." It's disgusting that MSNBC & BEGALA insist on playing the racial, ethnic and religion cards in an attempt to create hatred among the American people. Some of my best friends are "Blue".
