Keep your eyes peeled, Richmonders.
I sent in another LTTE just now. In regards to that sea hag Kathleen Parker's latest column.

Here's the text.

So, according to Ms. Parker, CT voters are 'out of touch' because they chose the candidate they preferred? Well, I have to agree with her. In Bushco's America, not walking in lockstep with the administration earns you the moniker the 'Al-Qaeda candidate', on none other than that stalwart of news professionalism, Fox.

The people of CT chose Lamont because Lieberman insisted on remaining in bed with Bush and his administration. Many democrats were fooled into voting for the IWR because of the lies of this mis-administration, and many have since distanced themselves to avoid being smeared with the blood of innocent lives. Lieberman didn't. He chose to remain close to the administration that has yet to tell the American people the truth about anything and cost thousands of American lives for a lie.

I am also laughing at Ms. Parker's painting Michael Moore in such a poor light. Maybe some think he is extreme, but he is no more so than the Oxycontin popping, Viagra smuggling family values promoting thrice married Rush Limbaugh, nor the screeching banshee Ann, 'those 9/11 widows have a lotta nerve to have an opinion' Coulter. Michael Moore is against the war, like the majority of Americans, a fact Ms. Parker seems to forget and dismiss in her hurry to paint those who exercised their right to vote their conscience as extremists.

May all those 'extremists' who wish to see an end to this unjust war win in 2008. Then perhaps we will see who the real 'pro-life' party is.

1. I will watch for it.
I need to write some letters myself but I'm a little afraid to open the floodgates.

I did notice that Kathleen Parker is suddenly back and wondered when they decided to pull her columns out of their asses. I guess she says exactly what they want someone to say. In other words, she and Dross MacKenzie m*****ba** each other in their echo chamber. I'm sorry but they burn me up, and that makes me mad too!

5. As I have stated before about Kathleen Parker
she must have the goods on someone in the publishing industry because there seems to be no actual reason for her to write. Midlo seems to have found a column of hers that actually makes a statement, states something like an opinion. 99% of the time she just seems to turn in a pill fueled wondering written from her sunroom.

I seriously have no idea what her purpose is. I guess she is just another wall to bounce off of in the echo chamber.

2. Hi Mid !
I thought your subject line had something to do with 2 of the missing Egyptian students were found in Richmond !

Great letter, do you have a link to the column? I'm asking because if we all keep an eye on our local (I'm assuming Parker's Richmond?) papers, we can post these columns here? Whether or not responding with the intent on publication, we can all help giving the editors feedback.

I can also crosspost them to Dkos, Raising Kaine, etc. Oh, and even DU GD :D

7. Congrats, Midlo. Great letter, too! Notice there were some
others who were also on our side? Good to see!

Check out this one from Lynchburg!

http://www.timesdispatch.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=RTD%2FMGArticle%2FRTD_BasicArticle&%09s=1045855935005&c=MGArticle&cid=1149190052509&path=%21editorials%21letters

<snip>

Editor, Times-Dispatch: I love to read Ross Mackenzie's column. His piece on Joe Lieberman was a classic. He must have had a healthy drink of the pro-war, pro-Bush Kool-Aid before penning that one.

Mackenzie imagines that Democrats, by rejecting Lieberman for Ned Lamont, are "reaching back to the post-Sixties hippiedom." Making yet another unjustified attempt to link the Iraq war to the larger struggle against terror, he even imagines that my party "spurns the banner of moral seriousness." That comes awfully close to suggesting that it is immoral to oppose the Iraq war.

I'm proud that the Democratic Party is finally becoming unified against the war. Lieberman bought into the Bush strategy, and has steadfastly defended it. But that policy has failed. Lamont won because he said it was time to begin the process of ending America's role and bringing our troops home. As Lamont has said, "We dropped the ball" in the real struggle against terror when we forgot about Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan and invaded Iraq. We did it because the militaristic neocons who came into power with Bush had always wanted to do it. They were wrong then; they are wrong now. Rick Howell. lynchburg.

9. YES!!
Congrats well done. I loved that all but one of the letters pointed out the complete BS coming from MacKenzie, Parker, and the Richmond T-D. BTW there was an LTTE about kathleen Parker on Friday that really hit the nail on the head.

Congrats again
