Astroturf LTTE in Sunday's Dallas Morning News.

Release the hounds!

A letter supporting John Roberts' nomination was a 100% cut and paste job from a Focus on the Family "letter writing wizard" that went out to FOF's entire email list.

The letter is "He's clearly qualified". It's the fifth one down. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/letters/stories/073105dnediltrs.22815ac0.html

Here is a link to the FOF letter writing wizard.

This is my original thread from yesterday. You can see in this thread that another DUer found seven other examples of copycat letters from all over the country.

I still haven't had any reply from the DMN, not that I'm holding my breath. But their offical policy is to not print any form letters. Maybe they need a few more people to remind them of that.

3. Great work sweetie!

I'll have to do some watching for that in the future.

Check out this moron on Sunday:

Living a life of danger
Like Karl Rove and those reporters, I have broken the law. Seventy years ago, I intentionally pinned my Dick Tracy secret decodagraph badge on my coat and went to school.
I now learn that I outed myself as a secret agent.
This is just how silly this overblown tempest in a teapot has become. Ms. Plame had been back in Washington for six years. How long does it take for you to lose your secret-agent status?
Let me know, because it may take me off the hook.

Hey Bob!

4. Yes, I saw that one too.

We were at Starbucks and that letter irritated me so much I ripped it out and tore it into tiny little bits. Moran.
