That's got to be reason enough for all of us to just try to get along.


I feel so bad for the kids black and white - there is just no reason on earth that they should have been subjected to this.

If Rev Al and Jesse are a cottage industry, the folks that put out the product that Al and Jesse try to make a buck on must be a damned multi-national sweatshop.

How dispicable. How rotten. How disgusting.

This summer camp paid to use the pool - to deny them the right they purchased by saying those children would 'change the complexion' of the pool is racist and evil.

I hope that this pool is picketed and I hope that everyone who is a member of such a racist organization has their names printed in the local paper. Anyone supporting this swim club ought to be ashamed of themselves.

The swim club accepted their money - they refunded it back after seeing the color of the campers skins. When they accepted the money the club ceased being a private entity - the campers had full right to the pool.

I'd at least try to get my money back, and raise a stink.
They are refunding the camp.

I wonder if this is the same John Duesler;

I found it interesting I was taken to an Obama fund raising website and thought "maybe where there is smoke there is at least friction." But, I didn’t want to jump to conclusions. So I Googled “Dr. John G. Duelser, Jr.” and “Valley Swim Club” and struck gold: http://www.thevalleyclub.com/downloads (broken link) / ... rttime.pdf . The good doctor’s full name & title is at the bottom of the form.
Same guy. How odd.

Update: The man who made this statement, Valley Swim Club president John Duesler, has the same name as the man who ran the O-Positive Obama campaign blood drive in Philly before Barack Obama’s inauguration. That information comes from — of all places — Democratic Underground.

Looks like the moron who said this was an Obama fund raiser. Ironic.
