Derry Glenn: Lima's Archie Bunker

Dear Derry Glenn,

Where is your apology?

On Thursday, you badmouthed local Arabs and other foreigners during one of your silly news conferences and idiotic crusades that only serve to get your name in the newspaper and your face on television. That's OK, because I know you are simply a media hound (and a not so mediagenic one at that) and you love to see yourself on TV and in the newspaper.

Still, where is the apology for your racist comments? Or, perhaps, you think it is OK for a City Councilman, an elected representative of the people, to badmouth Arabs and foreigners. I am guessing because you have yet to apologize for your remarks you think it is appropriate for an elected representative of the people to talk like Archie Bunker from television's All in the Family.

Seriously, Derry, the people of Lima deserve better. If you can't bring yourself to apologize for your racist remarks, then perhaps you should do the honorable thing and resign your seat. Unfortunately, unlike the fictional Mr. Bunker, I don't think you have a shred of honor or you would have never uttered such despicable bigoted remarks against hardworking Arabs and other foreigners. It was even more disgusting coming from someone who claims to want to bring the people of Lima together regardless of race or heritage.

In many episodes of All in the Family, Archie ended up doing the right thing and even sometimes learned a thing or two. I am not going to hold my breath that you are going to learn anything, but the people of Lima do deserve a public apology from you.

How about it, Derry? Where is that apology for your bigoted remarks?

I am betting it never comes.
