Open Letter To Senator Kerry

[unfrigginreal]

Dear Senator Kerry,

We write this open letter as a group of bloggers whose audience you
respect enough that you advertise on our web sites.

We are deeply disturbed that former staff members of your campaign and
other Dean rivals now working at the so-called “Americans for Jobs,
Health Care and Progressive Values” have resorted to the Willie Horton
campaign tactic of linking Howard Dean to Osama Bin Laden. Vigorous
competition among Democrats is expected and welcome, but all
Democratic leaders should denounce these kinds of tactics.

Given your staff link to this attack through your former press
secretary, Robert Gibbs—the new group’s spokesman— we feel it is
incumbent on you and your campaign to make it clear that this kind of
attack is unacceptable. Otherwise, there will be the appearance of
covert cooperation by your campaign in supporting this effort.

Yours,

1. Oooops, Dupe

We were probably both typing it in as we found it. I think I got the links done a very tiny bit better, so try this thread:

3. Very cool! Thanks!

And, no, we just hit "Post message" moments apart. I think your copy was about 60 seconds ahead of mine, actually.
