This Pennsylvania Mayor is a Democrat.
In a letter to the editor published in a local paper, Tunkhannock Borough Mayor Norm Ball explained his support of Hillary Clinton this way: "Barack Hussein Obama and all of his talk will do nothing for our country. There is so much that people don't know about his upbringing in the Muslim world. His stepfather was a radical Muslim and the ranting of his minister against the white America, you can't convince me that some of that didn't rub off on him.
"No, I want a president that will salute our flag, and put their hand on the Bible when they take the oath of office."
To paraphrase dawnt, is this welcome in our Democratic Party?
The above quote from Norm Ball is part of a spate of articles about Obama and racism that came out today (WaPo, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, CBS)...I can't do much to confront the nameless racists mentioned in all of these, but I sure as hell can tell Norm Ball what I think of his comments.

Be nice to the folks who answer the phone--I hear they're as tired of this tool as I am.
