It certainly has been a rough couple of weeks for Allegany County, what with the prisoner abuse scandal and all. Now Jorge Ribas, chairman of the Maryland Hispanic Republican Caucus, is piling on.
Putting in his two cents on the Ehrlich multiculturalism stink, Ribas compared Ehrlich to Hitler in his pandering to poor white people who blame their problems on immigrants:
Some people would call it white trash, people who are largely uneducated. Places like Cumberland ... Ehrlich country.But don't worry, my upstate Nazi friends, Kevin Kelly is on the case, defending Allegany County from downstate fat cats of any political stripe:It's very easy to make remarks like that by a politician to cater to this kind of crowd. It pays off for a politician. It paid off for Adolf Hitler.
Kelly denounced Ribas' remarks as "contemptible" and invited him to tour Cumberland and Allegany County.Marc"Allegany County possesses a rich multicultural heritage," Kelly wrote.
