Letter about Obama displays hate, ignorance
The letter written by Janney Chandler entitled "Don't Elect a Muslim as the Next President?" in the Dec. 6 edition of the Bonners Ferry Herald is a display of hate and ignorance.
Facts needed checked in Barack Obama letter
I find it surprising, to put it mildly, that the Herald saw fit to publish Janney Chandler's letter to the of Dec. 6, without doing a little basic fact-checking. For instance:
