Letters to the Editor 12/18

To the Editor:

In your Editorial of December 11th, “Losing the right to be Right,” you denounce present-day politics as “a he-said she-said screaming match.” You clearly insinuate that you’re opposed to name-calling and reputation smearing. You advocate for “educated” dialogue, and fear that “trickle down hate...practiced against our government representatives could soon be practiced against us.”

And then...then you call Sarah Palin, Joe Wilson, and Dick Cheney (all, incidentally, staunch supporters of Israel) “embarrassing.” You’re entitled to your opinion, to be sure - but where all of a sudden is the informed reasoning to elucidate your point of view? No explanation, justification, or supportive evidence is offered nor apparently deemed necessary.

Seems like you’ve met the enemy and the enemy is you.
