The following is an e-mail that I just sent to Jason Chaffetz, and his campaign staff. I'll keep you up to date on any response I get.
Rob over at the Utah Amicus has the video.
Mr Chaffetz-
On Tuesday, September 9, you were in a debate with your opponent at the Sutherland Institute. While answering a question, you stated that you were a Democrat until you learned how to read and write.
By saying this, you have implied that Democrats are illiterate. If not illiterate, then just plain stupid.
Personally, I take exception to this. I entered Kindergarten reading on a second-grade level. I left elementary school reading on a high school level.
All I am asking from you is a simple apology not only to me, but to the thousands of other Democrats who are insulted by your comments. I would also like to ask for a commitment to stop playing partisan games.
I don't live in your district, so you probably don't care about me or my opinions.
