Appeal falls Flat

This morning Cara Jennings’ Letter to the Editor was published responding to the Post’s charges (and others) that essentially she had a heck of a nerve to use her position to threaten a business.

Her explanation is reasonable and acceptable until you read down to the middle and then we are subjected to the same old line—accusing all of us who are against illegal immigration as “racists” or worse. Her charge that we are using the illegal immigration problem as just an excuse for “hate groups” to veil their real intent of racism is ludicrous.

This offensive letter made everything worse. Jennings had an opportunity to convince the public that she did not use her position to threaten a business owner but instead she went over the top of reason and common sense and twisted the facts to suit her personal beliefs.
