Racist Flyers Circulate in Roxbury, New Jersey

There are plenty of reasons not to vote for Sen. Barack Obama, but the color of his skin isn't one of them. In fact, don't take my word for it. Look at what other Democrats have said about Obama, including his current running mate, Sen. Joe Biden.

Yet, someone is circulating racist flyers in Roxbury, New Jersey.

Residents in one New Jersey town are disturbed after receiving fliers over the weekend that question Barack Obama's candidacy on racial grounds.

Roxbury resident Elizabeth Corsetto says a flier was left in her driveway asking, ``Do You Want A Black President?'' and showing a doctored photo of Obama with a long beard and turban.

Roxbury Police Chief Mark Noll says the fliers were left on various streets in the northwestern New Jersey township by a white supremacist group called the League of American Patriots.

I hope those who are behind that stunt get their comeuppance, which apparently includes a fine of $500 for littering.
