Ms. Glenn,
Thank you for reading the Herald and taking the time to comment.

But, please point out anything that I wrote in my editorial endorsement that is racist or bigoted. You can’t. Because there is nothing.
My editorial, just like that of the Times, is based on the experience, views and actions of the candidates, as well as those who are supporting them, and are attempting to buy this election. Period.

Did you tell the Times’ editorial staff that they’re racist and bigoted because they, too endorsed Graves over Becton? I doubt it. In fact theirs was much more hard hitting against her than mine is. – https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/04/11/editorial-pick-the-prosecutor-not-the-plagiarist-for-district-attorney-2/

It’s unfortunate that some people – like you – who can’t win a discussion or debate on the merits of their arguments, or back up their reasons for voting for a candidate with a valid argument, resort to making vile, baseless attacks against those with whom they disagree when debating and discussing an issue.

Furthermore, what’s this “once again” accusation? I’ve endorsed white, African American and Hispanic candidates for various offices over the years. So, I have no idea to what you’re referring, nor do you.

Seriously, you need to raise your level of discussion and debate, and keep it out of the gutter.

Carol,
Thank you for reading the Herald and taking the time to comment.
But what to what lines do you refer? There are none to read between. My endorsement editorial is straight forward and based in fact.
Either you agree with my endorsement or you don’t. Obviously you don’t which is your prerogative.
