He seems to think a capital gain is the same thing as net income....

You ought to read the letter columns in Georgia.

occassionally. It's usually the same letter.

I must say the puke writing team knows how to push an agenda, over and over and over and over.

Of course the other side gets a rebuttal in 4 days later but by then the average readers attention span has

been diverted to who won dancing with scars.

Guaranteed all of the rebuttals won't appear until either Saturday or Sunday.

Longo has replaced the ancient Teahadist William Reale as the "LTTE Columnist" for the PD. Does your paper usually get the same names writing in over and over again, as if we won't remember? I've sent in 8 LTTEs and only ONE of them got published. It's a losing cause with that bought-and-paid-for rag.

under President Obama the rich have gotten even richer because the tax policies are exactly the same as they were under Bush. So I guess I would have to agree with that statement, though the writer never would agree with me.

. . . especially if he believes installing a parasite capitalist social-program killer who comes with a "Bewsh on Steroids" economic acumen is going to "Reclaim the country" (gee, no dog whistle there) and "heal wounds".

to say that is my native Cleveland. Ohioans in general vote against their own self-interests.

Never mind Ted Strickland had the same economy that 49 other states did. Not really much he could have done about that. But hey, the solution HAS to be putting in a Wall $treeter to replace him. How's THAT working out for us?

making it appear that Ohioans vote against their own interests.

and Ravenna, which was transported by aliens to NE OH from Alabama part and parcel, circa 1865, and dropped here.


Yeah, and Longo must be one of those ten letter-a-day type of idiots with nothing better to do. He is always published.

Good thing that what they do is ineffective. Letters to the editor (for the most part) are just background noise from cranks, Teabaggers, racists, and morons anymore.

I don't see one opinion or vote getting changed by the ineffectual rantings of people that just make up 'facts' on the spot.

All they have to do is go online, download one, and sign their names to it. This is the same garbage I see in the papers here. It's not quite verbatim, but close. And, quite often, it's the same handful of morons here, too. The sad thing is, one of the papers here HAS given one of them a semi-regular column, probably because she claims to be a retired "writer". But, to their credit, they counter it with a column by a retired Democratic congressman the next day.

Not only do we need to restore the Fairness Doctrine, we need to start teaching critical thinking in school at an early age. I can't believe how many people are completely lacking in such skills.

Is your paper a Gannett rag, by any chance?

Mike VanOuse, our celebrated "Everyman"...

It's an Evening Post rag. They own several papers in the Carolinas, including the Charleston Post and Courier. They also own several TV stations around the country, about half of which are in Montana.

The real appalling thing is that some people here think this blatantly right-wing rag is "liberal". They occasionally will print political cartoons or columns that are slightly critical of the GOP. Last week they printed two in a row, and some twit wrote in complaining that the paper was becoming "leftist". Another kook wrote in the other day, asking them to drop their weekly column by Leonard Pitts, because he's too "divisive". Leonard Pitts. I shit you not. These are the same shitstains who will write in claiming that "Liberals are narrow-minded and won't listen to other peoples' views."

LTTE writers write about the same things here in northern Indiana.
I wonder, how much does the AEI pay per letter published?

People around these parts also want to see the Birth Certificate.

but had to stop because of the repeat of some many of the fox spews b.s. repeated daily. There are about 8 posters that park themselves on the opinion page thread of that paper everyday.

I've gone to the Indy Star and it happens there as well.

The liberals need to manage the message so that the tea baggers are drowned out.

We have the same handful of posters on our LTE page, too. They also dominate the comments sections on the web pages, as well.

Progressives realize America cannot afford to move any further with failed Trickle Down that's been a plague on this nation's progress for decades. These idiots want to promote this crap agenda until America heads glacially into it's inevitable starved and impoverished death.

I think it's because they refuse to listen to anyone that will tell them that they're not going to be part of the 1% . . . EVER . . . and the 1% left them behind a long time ago. They refuse to believe that and continue to remain high on their balloon juice.

They need to be kept away from society, or otherwise eliminated.

These letters are indicative of the typical "all-or-nothing" mentality of many on the right. Since raising taxes on the wealthy won't solve all of the debt and budgetary problems in one fell swoop, then it shouldn't be done.

Romney:

"Of course, corporations are people, my friend."

(In best Reagan voice):

"Well, if corporations are people, then I guess...well that must mean governments are people too....."
