Houston Chronicle Letter to Editor E.B. Spradley

I wonder if other places beyond Texas get this kind of murderous Right-wing swill in their major newspapers?

Dangerous traitor

Can anyone tell me why Julian Assange, the traitor and leader of
WikiLeaks, is still using up good air? As far as I can recall, no
traitor in history has caused more damage to
America than what he has caused and is about to cause. I rate him as
being every bit as dangerous to America as Osama bin Laden in the long
run. Some of America’s friends will no longer be friends.

I
know that the heads of the National Security Agency and the CIA have
agents with the ways and means to solve this problem, and I think these
organizations would be derelict in their duty by not eliminating the
Assange threat forthwith.

And no, it wouldn’t be immoral. Some
people just aren’t worth mourning, and those who want to destroy America
are at the top of the list.

E.B. SPRADLEY, Spring

There are a few things unique about LETTERS TO THE EDITORS in print newspapers. They are all heavily edited with not only the content changed, but most often any facts and figures are eliminated so the staff does not have to waste time checking them. One must also use their real name and town (they check by phone). And unlike internet forums or comments there is rarely any response to whatever tripe one wants to write.

There are two big problems with that. First off is the intrinsic unfairness of it – the nature of the Beast. Knowing the KIND OF PERSON Mr. Spradley is, would you want to respond to him in like manner so he knows your name and where you live? Or for that matter make any bold liberal comment in a Texas newspaper knowing a few million well armed Spradleys can Google your address and a picture of your house in a minute and be their purple faces about to explode in half an hour?

Secondly it is against the rules of print journalism to tell the truth about these KIND OF PEOPLE without a long list of documented proof. And even then it is just not done for loss of subscriptions and advertisers. You cannot even call a Klansman a "racist" any longer. BTW, being unable to do so is called "conservative correctness" which is so much a part of  American culture no one ever bothered to give it a name.

Do you have any doubt what Mr Spradley has to say about Mexicans, hyphenated-Americans, Barack Obama, Gays, Guns, preemptive wars, collateral damage, Muslims, Rush Limbaugh, executions, Sarah Palin and abortion all wrapped up in his  Christian chest pounding? 

Well I have no doubt about it and will say so. How do I know? Well because about 3/4 of the White people in Texas are genetic clones of this guy. It’s an everyday experience out beyond my front door. One of the first things one learns in coming to Texas is that the people may not be the sharpest knives in the drawer but who needs sharp knives when every idiot and raving mad man has a gun in their pocket?
