Fliers attacking Sikh mayoral candidate surface in Hoboken

Source: New Jersey

HOBOKEN -- For the second time in a week in New Jersey, a racist flier has been circulated anonymously attacking a candidate.

In Hoboken on Friday night, fliers were placed on car windshields with the message "Don't let TERRORISM take over our town!" above a picture of a Sikh mayoral candidate, Ravi Bhalla, wearing a turban.

The fliers appear to have been a modified version of a mailer from the Michael DeFusco mayoral campaign that was sent out previously claiming Bhalla had an alleged conflict of interest, which appears on the ad in smaller print.

DeFusco condemned the fliers in a statement, saying his campaign had nothing to do with the modified flier and has contacted local and county police to investigate.

A whole load of his bar patrons by loudly yelling "get that c*nt off my TV screen" when he walked in on people watching Hillary last fall. It's not the person named on the flyer, he's an asshole but he's not that stupid.
