Colo. Group Calls for Peter Coors Apology

DENVER - Minority groups called on Republican Senate candidate Peter Coors to apologize Wednesday after a spokeswoman said it would be worse to be compared to Sen. John Kerry than to a convicted killer. The dispute arose last week when an appeals court upheld the conviction of a reputed Ku Klux Klansman in the murder of a black man.

The New York Times mistakenly used a photo of Coors with a story about the ruling. Asked about the error, Coors campaign spokeswoman Cinamon Watson said: "It could have been worse. Pete could have been identified as John Kerry."

The Rev. James Peters, spokesman for the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance, said the remark was insensitive.

"If Peter Coors or Ms. Watson thinks it is funny or lighthearted to compare Sen. Kerry to a convicted KKK murderer, then they are either willfully ignorant of the emotion African-Americans feel about such matters, or they are terribly out of touch and they should be ashamed," Peters said.

Democratice Nominee=worse than KKKlansman

Calling for an apology? I'd be calling for his head on a stick!

And before the Secret Service comes over, it was a joke....

rightwing idiot. He sucks as bad as his beer.

Although, there is an uncle who is a Democrat. Peter gives the appearance of moderation (Mary Cheney helped with gay/lesbian relations at Coors), he contributes to far right organizations.

Are he and his spokeswoman "christians"?

and treason too, i'm sure.

If so, no more Coors for me!

Of course, I never drink the swill anyway.

He's the asshole who used to appear in the Coors commercials.
