Funny how he leaves out the shit coulter flat-out made up (going out for beer, etc) and claims she was merely making the point that his wounds weren't from combat


Gazette-Mail has a liberal slant

Editor:

I’ve subscribed to your paper since I retired from the military and moved here in 1999. I enjoy reading the opinions of columnists, liberal and conservative. Unfortunately, your Sunday paper rarely (if ever, actually) prints a column from a conservative commentator, although they often are attacked by your liberal columnists, as was Ann Coulter in this week’s paper. Don’t you think the reader might benefit from being able to read Ms. Coulter’s article and deciding for themselves if what she said was wrong or unfair? I’ve read the article in question. Her comments are factually correct. Democrat politicians have portrayed Max Cleland as receiving his wounds in battlefield combat as if he were a war hero. Max Cleland did what every private in the military is trained not to do. He picked up from the ground a piece of unexploded ordnance. His wounds are proof of why they’re taught that. He has no Purple Heart.

There is only so much anti-Bush, anti-military and other rhetoric that any thinking person can stand. Your paper has an obvious liberal slant to it. You are doing a disservice to the public.

1. A republican friend of mine loved her
and than he asked me for a good book to read and I lent him Al Frankens "Liars" book. When he gave it back to me after reading it he told me "Thanks. Now I know Ann Coulter is full of shit."

By the way, he was a die hard republican and after watching a couple of John Kerry biography pieces told me he actually thinks he will vote for him. He actually compared him to that brave Tillman guy!!
I almost fell to the floor in shock!

This guy was a firm, solid Bush supporter in the biggest way. Even though we have been friends since we were kids I had given up on even discussing politics with him.

Bush is going down!
