Dannemeyer’s Attack on Mandela Termed Shameful
- Share via
The article “Mandela Talk Draws Cheers From Congress” (June 27) by Times staff writer Edwin Chen was indeed inspiring.
It is too bad that Republican Congressman William E. Dannemeyer from Fullerton had to show his narrow-minded attitude when he likened Mr. Mandela to H. Rap Brown and Willie Horton. Perhaps Rep. Dannemeyer has been too long in office and needs a long, worthwhile rest.
