WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2002 One-time Labor Secretary nominee Linda Chavez scuffled recently with a man she accuses of spreading hate. Reported by Chavez herself in a syndicated column and John McCaslin of The Washington Times, the incident occurred when she and her husband came across an antiques dealer selling a Nazi flag. The Chavez couple became incensed and told the man to "sell it on the Internet or someplace where people who want to buy it can find it, but you're not offending the rest of us." Insults and harsh words were then exchanged, Chavez recounted. "As symbols go, it doesn't get much worse that the swastika," she said. "The crooked cross symbolizes only one thing -- hate." Chavez withdrew from consideration as Labor nominee after it was revealed she housed an immigrant worker and paid the woman money. Get the Story:
