Sandler should be required to step down. He owes that to all of the African Americans who not only live in his state but died under the most ruthless and heinous forms of slavery that ever existed in America. In the Carolinas, African American slaves lived in rags, obliged by law to abide in illiteracy, subsisting on minimal food, forced to work under unimaginably miserable work conditions, while beauteous white women and dandified white men literally fed off their misery like vampires. This is a vulgar affront to those martyred people. This is also a horrible affront to democracy and plurality. Are we a great nation or NOT? Do we have to stand for this? Did white supremacists hire Sandler or was he hired by the people of the state of South Carolina to serve the interests of all the people?!? I deplore this type of racism in public office.

Such people don't belong in public service. This is very dissapointing to hear, and I hope that someone or at least the public puts pressure on Represantive Sandifer to resign.

While "literature" of this sorts finds its way to many of our email in boxes, such as this one did, it takes a real bigot to print it out. Not the first time and won't be the last...unless voters continue to weed out these types. Folks, not you Will, let me tell you…Bill had to have printed that flier in order for it to be on his desk.

There are more closet racists like Sean Hannity of Fox's Hannity & Colmes, who I'm sure when his show is off the air he and his kids and wife practice in their home putting their white hoods over their heads, having fun.
