Democrats are furious about a statement by Republicans saying that comparing one of their candidates to presidential candidate John Kerry would be worse than comparing someone to the Ku Klux Klan.
The dispute started when The New York Times inadvertently published a photo of Republican Senate candidate Pete Coors above a story about a KKK member who murdered a black sharecropper. The Times published a correction Saturday.
Cinamon Watson, spokeswoman for Coors, said the error was "so outrageous it's kind of funny. It could have been worse. Pete could have been identified as John Kerry."
Chris Gates, chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party, demanded an apology. He said Democrats are "out there campaigning positively on the issues, and the Republicans can't help but resort to the lowest level of insult and name-calling."
Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said the comment was "the kind of thing people hate about politics."
Coors, head of the Coors brewing empire, is seeking the Republican nomination to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who is retiring

Only a democrat would demand a apology from a man who was wrongly accused a being a racist killer. This is a lose lose situation for the democrats here. Instead of this joke being forgotten about in a few days they see fit to push the issue further. Don't apologize for this. In fact if these losers want to continue to shot themselves in the foot make sure everyone in the state knows which party has a sitting ex-KKK member in their party.

Mr. Coors should issue an apology. Here is a draft for him to use.
I woud like to apologize for the statement made by one of my spokesman concerning John Kerry and the KKK. It was wrong to cmpare the two. I heartly apologize to all members of the KKK for the comparison.....
