My letter to Senator Shelby, who I've never seen in a Klan robe.
Mr.Shelby

I think your comments about The President of the United States of America implying his place of birth was not Hawaii makes you a traitor, pure and simple.

After all, we're to support our President in wartime, are we not?

I cannot figure out if it is simply un-Chirstain racism, or the hatred you must feel of a man who has eclipsed your whole career and place in history in his first 100 days in office.

Maybe it's just the fear that your "Conservative Values" are being explosed for the sham philosophy and the smoke and mirrors it really has become: What do conservatives really conserve, anymore???

Even though I live on the other side of the nation, you can be sure that in the next election I will send your opponent every dime I can legally send.

You, sir are not fit for the sacred trust bestowed on you by the people of your district.

Further, if you had any kind of honor as a man, you would make a public apology to the President and offer to stand at his side while you make that apology.

Being a political foe is one thing. To cast an aspertion like this is beyond the pale for even a Klansman, let alone a US Senator.

8. I didn't use the klan robe line in what I sent him, that was just for DU benefit...
The other reference at the bottom of the letter, I thought was reasonable under the circumstances.

I would suggest all supporters of the President write to the little scumbag and let him know he cannot DO that shit.

4. I want him to provide proof
that he is actually a member of the species homo sapiens. He acts like he's part of that subspecies homo nonsapiens-also known as dumbus republicanus.

5. I would share this with Senator Shelby's local newspaper.
And let him know you also provided it to your home town newspaper.
