Just read through the hundred and fifty or so comments on your post from Chronicles. Interesting to read, and somewhat disconcerting, as it shows that some of those on the Right have no qualms using the attack techniques of the Left when they read something they don't like.

For those unaware of Chronicles, you might edify yourself by subscribing, as it's one of the finest cultural and political magazines around. Moreover, if you knew the magazine then you'd also know that the Scallon article was not a "Letter to the Editor"--each month Chronicles runs a few short bits after its correspondence section on a variety of topics.

The personal attacks on Marine Inspector based on his purported agenda, his past crimes and misdemeanors, etc. are also a hallmark of the Left. Now, I don't know MI from a hole in the wall, and I don't care. But even if he was a screaming idiot, that has precious little to do with the merits of the Chronicles post.

Finally, the criticisms of FreeRepublic in the Chronicles piece are muted at best. Why does even the slightest criticism of JimRob or FreeRepublic result in such dramatic and heated flaming? Thin-skinned overreactions are what THEY do best--the Hillarys, the Jesses, the NOWs. It's a mystery when one sees us doing it amongst ourselves.

I see. Even though it was a letter in the Correspondence section it wasn't just a letter, it was a special letter.

The original poster called it an article.
