We live in a nation of liars, with the Liar in Chief in charge.
I am sick of these people, and sick of how degraded we have become morally such that this sort of deceit is normal.

Anyone remember the big deal the media made in 2000 about supposedly "subliminal" messages in a Republican ad? (The DemocRATS "scandal".) That was a phony scandal that was played up big, right during the middle of a presidential race, and probably cost Bush - along with the 11th hour drunk-driving revelation - just enough votes in Florida to lead to the re-count fiasco.
If this were Republicans - nationwide - issuing letters with phony names and addresses, it would already be a front-page scandal.

How about when they found out that Armstrong Williams was being paid to do positive programming for the Bush Administration. OMG, they went crazy!

I hope Hannity and O’Reilly pick up on this story.

Most papers require that letters-to-the-editor be accompanied by a local address and phone number for verification purposes. You can fake the name, but you cant fake the phone number, if the papers actually follow through and verify the letters. Absolutely true. When I had a letter published, they called me first for 'permission' but really to verify.
We need to get this to the national conservative media...Rush, Sean, Mark. There are at least 6 that have been found and probably many more still out there. Even though it's not 'Watergate' it's still more proof of the absolute illegitimacy of this administration.

It’s interesting that these letters are even showing up in relatively small newspapers such as yours. That suggests that this might actually be a true conspiracy involving more than three or four people, and thus the possibility it’s being coordinated by Democratic Party or White House operatives does not seem so far-fetched.

theyre so accustomed to faking this sort of populismBack in 2004 or whenever it was, campaign finance reform rode in on a populist wave that was almost totally manufactured by the Dems and their operatives. They can really turn it on when they feel the need. Given their current situation I wouldn't be surprised if they're revving up an astroturfing operation that is fairly massive.
To: Danae
Wow! Just how violated do you feel right now? Will you ever trust anything they print again? I wouldn’t!!
This is so un-American, I don’t know where to start...
The one thing Alinsky and Cloward/Piven and the rest of the radicals didn’t account for... the Internet.
We must resist “net neutrality” with all of our might.
If the gov’t controls the Internet, we will have no way of uncovering scams like this one.

Most papers require that letters-to-the-editor be accompanied by a local address and phone number for verification purposesThink MagicJack. VOIP allows you to have a phone number in any area code on signup. Things like google phone allow routing without really any hassle. This is quite easy for one person to do.
There again, liberal propaganda letters probably aren't even checked.
