I blogged about this the other day. Kanjorski made a stupid remark and his spin meister made it worse.

 Democratic Pennsylvania congressman Paul Kanjorski has apologized for comparing the Hazleton mayor to former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

Mayor Lou Barletta, who drew national attention for his crackdown on illegal immigration, hopes to challenge Kanjorski for his seat.

Kanjorski's remarks appeared on the "Politico" Web site earlier this week after a report that Duke endorsed Barletta. Barletta, a Republican, later denounced the report.

The site quoted Kanjorski as saying: "What David Duke was to civil rights, my opponent has done that with immigration ... He's used that issue the same way Duke used the civil rights issue."

Kanjorski wrote to Barletta on Friday, saying he didn't mean to imply the mayor is racist. As we all know, if you take a strong stand against illegal aliens the liars will automatically start yelling, "Racist..xenophobe..bigot.." It's all they EVER do.
