My letter was published ver batim!

[laylah]

My letter to the Editor was published in the QC Dispatch today with NO editing! WHOOOOOHOOOOOOO. Text follows :bounce: :hippie:

After suffering through many of Mr. Don Goebel’s uninformed and amateurish diatribes, I can no longer remain silent. While I have no doubt that Mr. Goebels believes the pearls of wisdom that he casts upon your dear readers, allow me, if you would, to debunk some of his “dis”information.

I agree strongly with his comment that “Thinking doesn’t just happen. It takes discipline and effort.” If only one practiced what one preached.

Where was the “librul” media when the Bush cartel STOLE the election of 2000? The facts, should anyone care to bother to enlighten themselves, may be found at www.gregpalast.com or www.fraudfactor.com, or just google “election 2000 fraud”. Unlike the neo-con media, sources and links to support this information are provided. Furthermore, for those of you who profess love of our Constitution should investigate the information available at www.infoplease.com, www.rpi.edu/~winner/Dersch.html or www.slate.msn.com/id/111313/entry/111319.

Where was the “librul” media when it became known that Mr. Bush was AWOL from his National Guard assignment? Veterans have offered a $1000.00 reward for anyone that can come up with information refuting the fact that your “Bring It On” boy did in fact, go AWOL. That information, and supporting documents and sources, may be found at www.awolbush.com or http://www.talion.com/georgebush.html.

Where are all of the congressional investigations of the Bush administrations high crimes and misdemeanors? Where is Ken Starr when we REALLY need him? Alternatively, will that happen only if the source of his enhanced codpiece is exposed? Why is this administration blocking investigations into Cheney’s energy meetings? Why did Cheney continually threaten the GAO if the investigation into those meetings went further? Why did Cheney “strongly advise” Senator Daschle not to investigate too thoroughly the horrific events of 9/11? Why did this administration call the FBI off investigating Osama bin Hidin’? Why is this administration blocking investigation into 9/11? Why did this selected president hide his records of his time as Texas governor in his daddy’s library? Why did this man extend the length of time that previous administration's records could be released? Why was the bin Laden family allowed to fly out of the country on September 13, 2001 when our airspace was closed
(www.unansweredquestions.org/timeline) ? Why did a CIA agent visit bin Laden at a hospital in July 2000, in Rhyad? Where are those WMD? Where are Osama bin Hidin’ and So-damn Insane? Who/what is the Carlyle Group. http://carlylegroup.com/eng/index.html what is PNAC? http://pnacrevealed.com/. Why Patriot Act II? http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=15541 Exactly what connections did the Bush and bin Laden clans have prior to 9/11 and what are they now? http://www.americanfreedomnews.com/afn_articles/bushsecrets.html or http://www.geocities.com/l_nino/bushladen.html or http://www.geocities.com/s011023/bush-bcci1.htm. What did Operation Northwoods and 9/11 have in common? http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/apr2003/afte-a30.shtml or http://alberta.indymedia.org/news/2003/01/5365_comment.php or http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/govknow.html. Why aren’t WE, the people, DEMANDING answers? Why aren’t WE, the people questioning W (http://www.questionw.com)? Could it be because the damn “librul” media has us mesmerized and totally confident that they would report only the truth?

Yes sir, this damn “librul” media should be tarred and feathered. Allow me if you will to paraphrase Ann Coulter, the sweetheart of the compassionate conservatives, and what she said about the Afghans. We should invade their newsrooms, kill their editors and convert them to Christianity…

Absolutely sir, you must seek and find the truth and with that truth in hand, act accordingly. Do the right thing, not what is most popular, comfortable, or convenient. Your future, and that of your loved ones, depends upon it, and the future of this, the best country on the face of this planet.

1. Wow.. Good for YOU !!

Great letter.. NOW if soome people actually follow the path you marked for them, ....:)

[heidiho]

2. Great! Can't believe they published all of it

and with the stolen election and AWOL stuff to boot. In my recent letters (well, three) they always eliminate that stuff in my local rag.

We can make a difference with these letters, I truly believe that.

3. Wow, what a great letter.

Cannot believe they printed the whole thing. Good job.

4. Congratulations!!

Keep up the good work!

5. WOW! WOW! WOW!

I'm almost speechless, both at the letter and the fact that they published the whole thing! What a FANTASTIC job! I hope you're preparing to duck and cover for the inevitable repuke wingnut shitstorm that is currently gathering and will be heading your way! Keep up the great work!

6. Granted, a possible shitstorm...

But whenever I do a letter to the editor, and I get the usual fascist responses, I politely go over every item they email me with, and email them back with my responses. I NEVER hear back from them again...they like to strike fear, but they run like chickens when confronted with an intelligent response...

P.S. Great letter!!! We all need to write these kinds of letters...I've gotten a couple of mine printed that have been VERY critical of the Shrub admin...and although I get the occasional hate mail, I get 10X more thanks from people that have been cowering since 9-11...

10. Probable shit storm

is anticipated with eagerness. I LOVE debating facts vs voluntary ignorance. Bring 'em on :evilgrin:

[blm]

7. HOLY SH!T...

I am SHOCKED that a paper printed the whole thing, especially with the links. That is amazing. Great going, laylah.

someone asked if they could use the text.....by ALL means, please do. Send it far a wide.

As for the dupe, my apologies, I don't know how that could have happened....

12. You have every right to be proud!

An articulate, intelligent and well-researched letter, and they published it all - that is fantastic.

You'll weather any shitstorm well - and will send many an abashed neocon back to their keyboards to commiserate with other illiterates in FR.

Way to go!
