In response to Thomas Nackid (letter, Oct. 24):

I was reading your letter about Bethel First Selectman Bob Burke 's opposition to state Rep. Jason Bartlett , taking it in, until I got to the question "Because he is black?"

You lost me! I had no idea what color Bartlett is.

And because you played the race card, I now have no use for your comments. How can you expect anyone to believe you, sir, are credible? Your agenda is obvious.

You may have thought you had a great argument, but I have no use for you or your racism comment, period.

If you are going to proffer an argument, do it on facts. I know Mr. Burke and sincerely believe in my heart that whatever issues he may have, he is not a racist.

What a disgusting and despicable comment, in my opinion. Grow up!
