HAZLETON, Pa. (AP) - Democratic Pennsylvania congressman Paul Kanjorski has apologized for comparing the Hazleton mayor to former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

Mayor Lou Barletta, who drew national attention for his crackdown on illegal immigration, hopes to challenge Kanjorski for his seat.

Kanjorski's remarks appeared on the "Politico" Web site earlier this week after a report that Duke endorsed Barletta. Barletta, a Republican, later denounced the report.

The site quoted Kanjorski as saying: "What David Duke was to civil rights, my opponent has done that with immigration ... He's used that issue the same way Duke used the civil rights issue."

Kanjorski wrote to Barletta on Friday, saying he didn't mean to imply the mayor is racist.

Barletta accepted the apology, and noted that he would reject any support from hate groups.

Career D+ and recently C+. He knows he is going to get whomped on this issue and has been recently trying to make himself look like he cares. What a low-down smear. We wish Lou Barletta the very best campaign.

Diamsl...he needs to go. Get behind Barletta. Even if you don't live in PA make a contribution to his campaign. We need Lou in Congress, not Open Borders Kanjorski.
