HA ha!
Ol' Leon is gonna be very lonely at the Lone Star. LMAO
Does this guy listen to himself? I mean he DID express an opinion, didn't he? Did anyone stop him from expressing his opinion? (No.) Then he's an idiot, and that's MY opinion.
With idiocy of that magnitude, it's no wonder the Lone Star Iconoclast has a circulation of 425.
Hell, when my brothers and I delivered newspapers, our combined customer base was bigger than that.
75% of the emails agreed with him?? well then 74 were sent by his Mother at his request to him at the newspaper....what an idiot....he didnt have to write the editorial at all...you dont have to pick either candidate.. just REPORT the news.... guess that lil ole thought didnt occur to him
This is stupid.
Take a gander at their webpage if you have a stong stomach today.... if I lived in Crawford I would not do bidness with anybody who advertises in this blatantly Communist rag.

Crawford wants newspaper to eat its words [circulation 425 and dropping]
The liberal jerks still don't get it.
Newspapers are supposed to report the facts, not opinion.
The a-hole deserves everything he is getting.
Some folks sure go out of their way to get some attention.
Smith gets it wrong and it's no surprise. He says that it appears we no longer live in an open society when we cannot express an opinion. He can "opine"- to use an O'Reilly expression - all he wants, nobody is denying him that. What he misses is that no one needs to listen, or buy his papers to read his stupid opinions. So I say to Smith, opine away.
He has a right to express his opinion as we as the public have the right to express ours....by not buying his rag.
BTW I live about 40 miles from Crawford. This fool has made his neighbors VERY angry... Crawford IS Bush Country
No. When we get to the point where we are required to agree with your stupid ass, THEN we are in trouble.
Now, go tend to your failing business.
Typical immature liberal.
W. Leon Smith, publisher of the Lone Star Iconoclast, didn't show allot of smarts in doing this.
Maybe he was just tired of being the publisher. Now he can use the cancellations and lack of sales as an excuse to retire.
Even though I disagree with his opinion, I think he was pretty gutsy in writing that editorial. Not many would have the nerve, even if they felt as strongly as he apparently did. But if the advertisers are pulling out, I'm sure that means the end of that paper. I hope he knew that before going in.
no, you just need to know that people are going to have opinions about your opinion. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!!

This should be a lesson to all. If your local paper supports Kerry, and you don't, cancel your subscription. Stop using their advertisers etc. Only when we hurt them in the wallet will they possibly put a sock in it. I canceled my Palm Beach Post rag about 5 years ago.
