What gives you the right to be published? The Minneapolis Star Tribune can make their own editorial decisions. You appparently dont have a contract that states they have to carry you. If I owned a paper, I wouldnt carry Gary Trudeau's work. That would be my right. If you are going to push the borders of "good taste" as viewed by a significant percentage of that socialist state voters then dont be surprised when your work is no longer appreciated. I doubt they would keep an artist that showed babies dripping from the bloody mouth of GW Bush with some reference to Hitler either.
Here is the best source for a Republican Elephant! It is an image of the Republican Elephant in the attack and trumpeting it's position. Not the typical image of a Dumbo-esque quaint little thing, but a fighting elephant.

Yep, I'll do his work for him and send him the proof.
You've hit it big time, Linda!!!
Obviously you are incapable of doing your own good, hard journalistic work. As soon as I clear my schedule, I will respond... probably by tomorrow.
You didn't respond right then and there. They win, you lose.
That's how they will report it; even if you DO respond tomorrow as you said you would.
Linda Eddy is awesome. She nailed the Star Tribune hard. In the spirit of the Chieftan at Gainesville last Wed. night, she let 'em have it with both barrels. I could see those two back to back going against all odds, guns blazing.
Maybe you should send an emissary of crippled vets to Crawford Texas, and have them ask ....
THANKS!!!!!
There's none so blind as those who will not see, and that's who you're dealing with of course.
But congrats on being banned by the Red-Star. I'd say you've made it to the Big Leagues.

He doesn't have to agree with you, but telling you to stop e-mailing him because you don't like John Kerry really disqualifies him to be editor.
I must say, though I dislike the editorial pages I write to, they do take criticism pretty well. I've stuffed their mailboxes at times and they never tell me I can't. I am not sure they real alla the articles I forward to them (it can be excessive, but then, I really doubt they read many conservative columnists unless I send them some), but they do read what I write. Sometimes I deserve a sharper response than I get. I'll give them credit for that, even though I give them no credit for actually seeking out conservtive opinion or news perspectives, hiring conservatives, or drawing wise conclusions.
Oh, and I fault them also for refusing to print my letters on certain subjects. I have even gone so far as to ONLY write about the banned subject, just to see how long it takes to get printed. They will not do it period! I could send them ten letters a day and they won't budge.
Mr. O'Neill observed that Kerry had refused to debate him anywhere else but on the Cavett show. I'm sure this was because Kerry could be assured of a friendly audience full of libs (who else could stomach Cavett?) and plenty of help from Cavett himself. This is exactly how it turned out, of course.
My point being (at last) that by refusing to debate Mr. O'Neill, Kerry was indeed attempting to silence the voices of the vast majority of Viet Nam vets who were repelled and slandered by Kerry and his loser buddies.
You're very talented, by the way.
Kool-aid drinker obviously. Just proves what we've been saying all along. The dems always accuse others of doing what only they do. They censor, then scream about censoring.
Good thing I have a 36" monitor!
How about a letter from a POW who had the propaganda used against him.
And, Kudos to you for iritating the Red Star to censor you.
Jeff, are you familiar with Linda Eddy's work?
You have entirely missed the point... I have been forbidden TO SUBMIT MATERIAL to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. I have no problem with not being published. Totally discretionary on the part of ANY paper. The problem here is that I have been forbidden to SUBMIT my editorial comments. And that, sir, is censorship and denial of Freedom of Speech. All this editor had to do was click "delete" on my email. Instead he chose to ban me permanent from submitting. Got it now?
Agreed. "I'll respond...maybe tomorrow" is an incredibly lame retort. Instead of posting this half-complete exchnafge on FR, how bout just responding with Kerry's quote like he asked?
