A letter of questionable source is being used by the Gallagher team against Crist. That's why it's being discussed as much as it is.

Newspapers are starting to insist letters to the editor print full names and cities or towns. I'm starting to agree with that although for one letter I had written, I received hate mail.

That's standard practice in newspapers, and has been for years. No name or address, the letter doesn't get published. WND doesn't follow that.

I've written many, many letters to the editor. Like you, I have gotten hate mail and threatening phone calls. I ignore that nonsense, but I do try to write sensibly in those letters. If someone wants to take offence, then I still take responsibility for my letter.

I do not know that it is a questionable source. World Net Daily apparently considered it their Letter of the Week, and they are the ones who published it. If people are concerned about the veracity, perhaps they should take it up with World Net Daily rather than accuse those of us who reported it from a standard news item search. I do not seriously think that Jerri Ward who followed up with commentary is a Gallagher agent, being an advocate in Texas, and WND is in Oregon. But it would be nice to know WND has evidence it is a real letter.

What I can say with certitude is that at Pinellas Park at the time of the killing of Terri, we saw detractors who could have been twins of Dr. Linda, very vile detractors at that, so have no trouble seeing this as a highly likely real letter. We also saw first hand the results of the Crist actions.

I notice also that many Crist supporters use the same tactics of the left, particularly projection, in which they visit upon their adversaries the very tendencies they, themselves, sport. It is much like the anti-gun folks accusing us of being potentially violent because they, themselves would be violent if the guns were in their own hands.
