Should he be removed from office at once Calif. councilman 'proud racist' remark at immigration rally?
A Southern California councilman is attracting attention and drawing some fire for declaring at an anti-immigration rally that he is "a proud racist" if that means believing that the United States should have only one flag and one language, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
In a long article posted yesterday (and flagged by memorandum), the paper writes that Santa Clarita Councilman Bob Kellar "stood by his remarks" at the Jan. 16 rally, saying they "reflected his frustration with illegal immigration, but weren’t intended to express animosity against nonwhites."
"It doesn’t mean I’m going to saddle up the horses at midnight," said Kellar, who has served the city north of Los Angeles for 10 years.
The rally was posted on YouTube in several parts. Listen to what Kellar said; he begins speaking at the 2:45 mark.

Whatever he said, I don’t know but I agree there should be one flag and one official language. France is demanding that and so are all the Mid East countries and many more. Why should we run a country with tatters here and there, if you don’t like it, then leave. Why should we feel compassionate about people who came here illegally while invading our country instead of overthrowing theirs to improve conditions?

Well he’s an idiot, he shouldn’t be saying that, I am anti illegal immigration, but I am not racists against Mexicanos or anyone from South and Central America. I hope he is removed, what a bigot.

No, he was elected. They’ll get a chance to vote him out or reelect him in November.

This is free speech on his part and if many are displeased with his remarks they can recall or vote him out of office if need be.
