Marie Strumolo Burke, a Democrat running for mayor of Belleville, N.J., is allegedly heard on tape ranting about her fear that her village could become a ‘f------ n----- town.’

A candidate for Mayor of a small New Jersey town was caught on tape allegedly spewing a racist rant in which she said she didn’t want her village to become a “f—— n—– town.”

Marie Strumolo Burke, who is running for mayor in Belleville, N.J. as a Democrat, was reportedly heard making the vitriolic comments on a voicemail from 2013, according to NJ.com.

In the voicemail, left by the former chairman of Belleville’s planning board, Sam Papa, on the phone of Councilman Kevin Kennedy, a voice thought to be Burke’s can be heard in the background screaming the angry racist comment.

“This is terrible. This is terrible. This is gonna be a f—— n—– town,” Burke is allegedly heard yelling in the background, as Papa is heard discussing tax changes.

A forensics lab based in Michigan confirmed the voice on the tape was Burke’s, according to NJ.com.

I’m as anti-democrat as the next guy or gal, - - but I’ll be damned if I’m going to persecute someone with no more proof than some random ‘forensicii’ saying “yes, that invisible voice that’s not even in the conversation is definitely hers”!! Beware any slippery such slippery slope.

I no longer fight by Queensbury Rules.

All that you say, true. But I was sort of glad to see the Dan Sterling incident take the limelight off Bundy.

(as to Dan Sterling’s girlfriend - I am guessing you would hit it?)

Democrats are not “diverse” when it comes to housing. Lilly whites do not want to live with non lilly democrats. If anyone doubts this they can check the diversity of San Fransisco, Carmel, Boulder, Aspen, Vail, or any other lilly white stronghold.

“A forensics lab based in Michigan confirmed the voice...”

I’m not aware of any capability to do this (I’m a Software Architect) - the concept of a “voice print” doesn’t exist like it does for finger prints.

They may be politically obtuse and hypocrites but they aren't suicidally insane. Who wants their neighborhood to turn into the next Tijuana or Detriot?

“This is terrible. This is terrible. This is gonna be a f—— n—– town,”

What's so terrible about Bellville becoming a friendly, nice town?

We can do that without losing objectivity over it. I've yet to see a commercial of dems pushing a baby off a cliff . . .

in court we call that “expert” a hired gun or just plain junk science.

This fiasco will increase the sale price of the team. It was said to be 750 million today, it will go up due to the pr.

See, it's only an allegation, because this racist #### is running for office for the Demagogic Party. A basketball team owner -- and lifelong Democrat -- doesn't get that kind of kid-gloves treatment from the Partisan Media Shills, although they avoid the D-word when talking about him. Thanks Laz.

Certain folks just are meant to rule. In the Burke case, don’t you know donuts fear her?

As Machiavelli said, if a Prince (well, Princess in this case) must choose between being loved and being feared, it is better to be feared than loved.

Heed the wisdom of the donuts.

Anyway, they are ever so much more to be liked than Lamestream Media talking heads or the professional race card crowd.

Wouldn’t you prefer a dozen assorted donuts to the same number of talking heads or race card players in your home?

Laz nailed it? I was expecting him to say he’d “hit” it.

Who knew that post-racial America would be so, uh, racist.

You may be right and I’ll boy to your superior knowledge. But the woman on the tape doesn’t know they can’t prove it’s her so she’ll admit it once she’s confronted with the “evidence”.
