Nate Willems calling Mallard Fillmore a racist in a recent letter is right out of the latest Democratic playbook. It is a stretch for him to infer Mallard called Baltimore blacks rats. I don't like Leonard Pitts spewing hatred every Sunday against whites and Republicans, but I don't tell The Gazette to drop his column.
