Kennedy, other critics, are ‘traitors’
At least according to this fool:

http://www.dailylocal.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=10350505&BRD=1671&PAG=461&dept_id=17785&rfi=6

Might I suggest you make liberal use of the "Post Your Opinion" option at the bottom of the page? :)

A brief sample:

According to my dictionary a "traitor" is a person who behaves disloyally; one who betrays his country. What I hear from U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., is nothing short of traitorous. The nine (10?) would-be candidates for the presidency in 2004 are but a short distance behind him with their ranting and raving and irresponsible blaspheming of the president of the United States.

1. Is 'disloyalty' to a president the same as disloyalty to country?
- RWing pundits want YOU to believe that Bush* and the US are one in the same. That is...disagreeing with Bush* means you're 'disloyal' to America. Don't fall for this shit.

3. I was thinking the same thing . . .
Edited on Tue Oct-21-03 07:23 AM by ET Awful
How exactly do you "blaspheme" a pResident?

According to my dictionary blaspheme means to speak of (God or a sacred entity) in an irreverent, impious manner.

I think this author needs a new dictionary :)

22. It usually takes a while to update...
I suspect the system is set to update automatically at periodic intervals, or the updates are done by hand. The comments on other articles (on many topics) have been from both sides, so if it's done by hand, the person is neutral.

18. Resist stereotyping.
Too many of us on the left have a habit of alienating potential allies.

20. It tells me he signed his name, Mr. NNN0LH1!
Obviously, he's an idiot.

But I learned that by reading his letter, not by pre-judging him because of his name.

23. My response, and I hope they print it...
"Here's what I think are the true definitions of the term "traitorous". "Traitorous" is when you subvert the political process and seize power by means other than the electoral process. "Traitorous" is when you allow an event like 911 to happen to further your own political/military agenda. "Traitorous" is when you lie about the reasons for going to war and then allow men to die in that war while planning new wars. "Traitorous" is when you shift the country's tax burdens to the poor and middle class to make your powerful friends even more fabulously wealthy. "Traitorous" is when your grandfather helped make loans to the Nazis from 1926-1942 that were used to build Auschwitz. "Traitorous" is when your father makes a speech at a Washington Times Founders Day in effusive praise of Rev. Moon of South Korea. I guess being "traitorous" runs in a certain family, but that family is NOT the Kennedys."

30. Is the majority waking up?
You might think so by looking at the responses to this turd's letter. Every single one was against him, most brilliantly written and right on the money.

If you take a gander at the "14 Defining Features of Fascism", this little dictator lackey displays an appalling affection for what makes a fascist state.

41. 29!
"Buck" is probably too busy looking up illegal things he condemns others for. :)

What we really need to do is send all these views into the editor for publishing in the real print paper.
