Look at this piece of TREASON!

I shall try not to comment or editorialize, but it's hard, it's hard. Just look at this letter to the editor in Pravda. (And before you give me grief about reading it, how different is if from the Boston Globe??)

Look:

JAMES HECKEL: WE TRULY DESERVED TO BE BOMBED

Dear Editor,

Firstly, I must commend you on a well-done website. I found it to be excellent and easy to browse. Good show!

Secondly, as a citizen of the US, let me add my voice of outrage over my country's cowardly, imperialistic attacks on the rest of the world. We truly deserved to be bombed. We have a saying here in America "What goes around comes around". This means that the way you treat others will be the way others treat you, and if others treat you badly, you probably deserve it.

Please note that what our government is doing DOES NOT reflect the desires of the average American. These decisions are made by the few in power, and not by us. We want this imperialism to come to an end, but who listens?

We had a sham election that put Bush in power, despite the fact that he lost the popular vote. I ask PRAVDA.Ru to let the world know that "democracy" and "freedom" here in America are total lies. The only thing that matters to the power brokers is what Bill Gates and other imperialists want.

I predict that the United States won't exist as a superpower much longer. If you want evidence, you need look no further than England or France. They were superpowers; now they are not. I would encourage those in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world to boycott American goods and buy only from your own countries. That would be a big help.

If you want to see what real, peaceful Americans believe, look at the website for our Libertarian Party:

Good luck! You have my permission to publish my real name and hometown. I am not at all ashamed of my opinions.

James Heckel

Arlington Virginia

United States of Aggression

Sincerely,

Jim H.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Be careful. This "Jim Heckel" could have put his enemies name on this letter. It might not be him at all.

[smith288]

Typical liberal for you... Washed up hippy it sounds like to me.

[Wyatt's Torch]

James is a libertarian? Ummmmmmm, no. Nice try.

[wny]

Drag this piece of shit from his home and beat the hell out of him.

We had a sham election that put Bush in power, despite the fact that he lost the popular vote.

I love it when citizens who are too ignorant to understand the American political system nonetheless feel qualified to critize America.

What a clymer.

[HardStarboard]

Perhaps there should be a Freeper party to welcome this piece of human debris back to Arlington.

[Gorzaloon]

True, it could be so.

Nevertheless, it is sitting out there on a news site for the world to see, and people should know about it. And if this person is the victim of a forgery, the truth should out shortly.

If it were posted to fulfill a defamatory or political objective, a person who would take this opportunity to capitalize on such a tragedy needs to be rooted out by Law Enforcement.

I'm normally not this confrontational, but at this point and time, when someone talks like this, they need to be put on a fast boat to China. This guy obviously didn't lose any loved ones in this tragedy, but then again, with his tone, he probably doesn't have any.

Git a rope!

I would be careful about taking this letter at face value. I have a lot of problems with the libertarians, but the name "James Heckel" does not pop up on my Google search in any formal association with the Libertarian party (no web site references, previously-published letters, etc.). Unless I see verifiable proof that this joker in any way speaks for or is an activist for libertarians, I'm inclined to believe that this is simply agitprop.

[kevkrom]

James is a libertarian? Ummmmmmm, no. Nice try.

What do you say that? This is exactly the same, America-hating and cowardly tripe that is being pushed by Harry Browne, Antiwar.com, LewRockwell.com, and Joe Sobran.

[FITZ]

Isn't the penalty for treason hanging?

[piasa]

Libertarian? No way- his lingo is purely 'progressive.' A lefty, in other words. But the name is probably bogus.

[Critter]

Has anyone here ever heard a libertarian complain that Bush won despite losing the popular vote?

I don't think so. This is either a gore voter, or a greenie, and probably using a false name or the name of someone that he would like to harm.

[Sueann]

I don't care what his name is - the name I see is the word "Libritarian".

I believe this letter is the reason why I would never be a Libritarian.

Misguided and deceived!

[BlueLancer]

"What do you say that? This is exactly the same, America-hating and cowardly tripe that is being pushed by Harry Browne, Antiwar.com, LewRockwell.com, and Joe Sobran."

As well as Michael Rivero and Raimondo from antiwar.com ... it all sounds the same.

[smith288]

go here...look at #40 signature.

Here

same guy?

[Mad Dawgg]

Just saw A report that one Individual RODE THE WTC TOWER DOWN form the 82nd floor as it collapsed and his wife is 8 months Pregnant! Don't know about your folks but that is final proof to me that there is a Supreme Being!

Oh and for all you pukes who are saying America Deserved this and we should let it go... When the Airlines resume service please go directly to your nearest airline terminal and take the first flight out of the USA! You are not needed here!

If you believe the USA should not respond, please notice the exit to your right and use it... This ride is going to get bumpy and we don't need your pitiful selves to hinder our resolve!

[bleudevil]

This letter sounds like a setup to me - either by someone trying to slam the LP or by Pravda itself or both. It reads like it's calculated to outrage, not like something a real person actually wrote.
