Today's Most Brain Dead Letter To The Editor

[MrScorpio]

Welcome to the Tuesday Edition of the Most Brain Dead Letter To The Editor

This is dedicated to the those wonderful people who inspire us all by not only being incredibly stupid but also display their stupidity for all of us to gaze and wonder upon, in the LTTE sections of today's newspapers.

Now, I've got another pimple-brain for you today, Mr. David Klayman of Palm Coast, Florida, who, may or may not be related to Larry Klayman of the absurdly right wing organization Judicial Watch, but seems to be nothing more than another Bush-kissing whore and hack for various idiotic neocon causes.

Check this dipstick out from today's edition of Daytona Beach News-Journal Online:

Bush committed to fight terror

The president's most solemn duty under our Constitution is to protect the American people. (Ed. Sounds nice, but WRONG. The Prez' most solemn duty is to protect the CONSTITUTION. It's in the OATH. Read that puppy sometime.) Since 9/11 this president has made a commitment to take this war directly to the enemy and to use all the tools at his disposal to keep America safe. (Ed. So, that's what they call using trumped up evidence to start illegal wars these days.) A critical element in this strategy is the terrorist surveillance program. (Ed. Since when?)
It monitors al-Qaida terrorists and affiliates making phone calls into or from the United States, precisely the type of communication that preceded the 9/11 attacks. This is not "domestic spying" on ordinary Americans. (Ed. You're being funny, right?)

After Sept. 11, we heard so often that our government failed to connect the dots. (Ed. ...And they failed to paint by numbers too.) So, the president signed the Patriot Act, which had been passed overwhelmingly by Congress. (Ed. Right after they read it... What? THEY DIDN'T READ IT BEFORE THEY PASSED IT? Oh, sorry.) He reformed the government bureaucracy, enabling it to fight a different kind of war. (Ed. Illegal ones.) Now, the Patriot Act is up for renewal. Democrats respond by playing politics and accusing the president of breaking the law and violating civil rights. These are not the actions of a party that can be trusted to safeguard our national security. (Ed. :eyes:)

The president is committed to fighting this war and will not let our nation let its guard down. (Ed. Too late, sucker!)

DAVID KLAYMAN, Palm Coast

Thanks, Davy, you are an inspiration to us all. :yourock:

Here's a toast to you and your dead brain. :toast:

Surveillance makes sense

I find it very difficult to fathom the minds of some of our fellow Americans. Why our own people can be so critical of the terrorist surveillance program is simply beyond my comprehension. Our government is not snooping around to learn whose wife is sleeping with whose husband.

The justification for monitoring conversations both in and out of the United States between suspected al-Qaida terrorists and their affiliates should be obvious. Our president's solemn duty under the Constitution is to protect the American people. Why don't we grant him the privilege of doing just that?

6. It's astroturf - notify the editor of the paper

I took a phrase from the letter and googled it and bingo - up popped a bunch of links to identical letters. I ratted out an astroturfer at my local fishwrap and got a nice letter from the editor thanking me and he CC'ed a copy of the letter he sent to the guy warning him that he would not get any more letters printed until after a thorough search of the internet for similar letters.

Here's one from Lake Tahoe:

Congress Democrats distorting truth

The President's most solemn duty under our Constitution is to protect the American people. In the four years since we were attacked, this President has made a commitment to take this war directly to the enemy, and to use all the tools at his disposal to keep America safe. A critical element in this strategy is the terrorist surveillance program that the President authorized shortly after September 11th.

The terrorist surveillance program monitors al Qaeda terrorists and affiliates making phone calls into or from the United States - precisely the type of communication that preceded the 9/11 attacks. This is not "domestic spying" on ordinary Americans arranging soccer practices or pot luck dinners. It's a tool that even FDR used in fighting World War II.

The Democrats in Congress are deliberately distorting the truth about these efforts which are being used to stop attacks before they occur.

After September 11th, we heard so often that our government failed to connect the dots. So, the President signed the Patriot Act, which had been passed overwhelmingly by Congress. He took appropriate action to connect the dots. He reformed the government bureaucracy, enabling it to fight a different kind of war.

Now, the Patriot Act is up for renewal. How do Democrats respond? They play politics, brag about "killing" the Patriot Act and accuse the President of breaking the law and violating civil rights. These are not the actions of a party that can be trusted to safeguard our national security.

This President is committed to fighting this war and will not let our nation let its guard down and for that he should be absolutely commended.

There are RW websites that write LTTEs and all you have to do is add your name.

claims Ken Mehlman wrote the letter:

y Doc

Got this letter last night from Ken Mehlman Chairman of the Republican National Committee. It sets out the President’s defense against the naysayers in his efforts to protect us from another attack.

Please take the time to let you elected officials know you support the president.

Dear Doc,

The President’s most solemn duty under our Constitution is to protect the American people. In the four years since we were attacked, this President has made a commitment to take this war directly to the enemy, and to use all the tools at his disposal to keep America safe. A critical element in this strategy is the terrorist surveillance program that the President authorized shortly after September 11th.........

10. Excellent catch. Why the heck don't the letters page editors...

... do the same thing before they print this junk? It would take, like, 30 seconds max.

:crazy:

[Katherine Brengle]

7. "terrorist" surveillance program???????

"A critical element in this strategy is the terrorist surveillance program."

This was a surprising place to find a framing nightmare, but keep your eyes and ears open for this one in the near future.

Keep saying:
"Illegal wiretapping program"
"Illegal surveillance program"
and
"Warrantless (and unwarranted) wiretapping"

Don't let them swing this one their way--not this time.

We've let them do too much of our framing for us--careful careful careful with this.

[punpirate]

8. Just a small correction...

... I believe the Klayman you're thinking of is Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch.

Although, who knows... this may be a family trait. :)

[MrScorpio]

9. Damn! You are so right

I need to edit this.

Thanks!

11. Maybe I should forward my copy of the Constitution to this whacko

Except, he -- and the copycats -- would probably claim that I changed "the American people" to "the Constitution of the United States of America" just to make the pResident look bad.

And as far as the wiretapping program being a "terrorist surveillence program," excuse me, idiot, but if they know where the phones are they are wiretapping, WHY IN THE FUCK DON'T THEY JUST GO PICK THE "TERRORISTS" UP?

The level of ignorance and stupidity of these people, not to mention their blind, unquestioning loyalty to Chimpy McCokespoon, truly is beyond comprehension.

But then, I tend to think for myself. Something they know nothing about.

12. Bush Should Be Committed

No, on second thought, he should be tried for war crimes and no insanity defense allowed
