Kuck response to controversy

The former Republican committeeman who’s brought national headlines to the small town of Pemberton over a controversial banner-ad posted on his Web site has written a letter on his Web site denying any racist intent.

Kuck had posted a quote that said “Obama loves America like O.J. loved Nicole,” a derivation from a quote by conservative Anne Coulter in 2005 that said “liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole.”    

Kuck, whose wife of 35 years is originally from Thailand, said that he understands racial discrimination because the couple faced it when they first married.

“I am deeply hurt by all the pain this controversy has caused my family. Anyone that knows me knows that I am about as far from being a racist as you could possibly be,” he said.

    Pemberton GOP committeeman resigns over Obama/O.J. remarks

    Ed Kuck, the Burlington County Republican committeeman at the center of controversy over a racially offensive quote he put on the Pemberton Republicans’ Web site, resigned his post this afternoon, according to Burlington GOP Chairman Bill Layton.

    The resignation came hours before Pemberton Council President Diane Stinney called for the resignation of “all involved” with the Web site after it ran a banner ad that read "Obama loves America like O.J. loved Nicole."

    “Our country is facing a recession; our taxes keep rising; families have to work harder and harder to protect their children from crime and it’s so important to show people that actions like this are not acceptable,” said Stinney.
