Think the local teabaggers will be very happy with me?

[47of74]

This is the letter to the editor I just submitted to the local paper;

Christina Taylor Green, 9, Dorothy Morris, 76, John Roll, 63, Phyllis Scheck, 79, Dorwan Stoddard, 76. and Gabriel Zimmerman, 30 died in the Tucson shootings. Rep Gabrielle Giffords is fighting for her life now, and likely suffered permanent damage in the attack. And others were wounded as well. I am still angry and disgusted over this atrocity, and feel that the poisonous political climate we have led to this.

When we have candidates calling for "Second Amendment Solutions," or Sarah Palin having a map with cross hairs over districts with Representatives she wanted out of office (one of whom was Rep. Giffords), people showing up armed at political events, and hatred being pumped out daily by the likes of Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and so on it was inevitable that some mentally unbalanced person would turn this into horrific action.

In the coming days conservatives will offer excuses. Such as how they are independents, how the left does it too - especially unions and the Black Panthers, and so on. You know what? I don't care. What I care about are the parents, spouses, and children left to mourn their deceased relatives, especially the parents of Christina Green. I care about the families of the wounded. I care about our nation, and hope if anything this tragedy finally gets this country to turn away from this hatred and its purveyors before it is too late.

Think the local teabagging crowd is going to be very happy with me for this?

1. Were they ever happy with you??

You will just be another liberal that they need to hate
When you have so much hate inside there is no room for reason .... not you ....... them

2. Fuck 'em.

Who cares what their bloodthirsty hatred makes them think of you?

It is a very well written LTTE. Well done.

10. I got the verification call today

So hopefully within the next few days a bunch of conservatives will be quite upset with me.

4. I appreciate what you did..

..but you shouldn't have given even a passing nod to that 'the left does it' moral equivalency meme, because it's just not true.

6. Thank you for your effort.

And continue to keep referring to them as teabaggers ... most of them are knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who don't understand the connotation.

8. My local newspaper never published letters like that

and they are gone. I ended my subscription because they were anti-worker every day. They used to be fair and printed both sides. Then only bad things about unions and good BS about business and trade - like NAFTA.

I hope they publish yours. g/l
