S U N D A Y , J U L Y 1 7 , 2 0 0 5NY Post Readers Blast Paper For SupportingRoveby Michael in New York on 7/17/2005 05:03:00 PMIt happened on Friday, when a story about Rove prompted aLetters page filled with people blasting Rove and only one insupport.</p><p> It happened again today.</p><p> The NY Post ran an editorialpraising Rove and calling Wilson a low-down, dirty dog.</p><p> I didn'teven bother linking to it.</p><p> Today's Sunday letter section isFILLED with letters from readers -- all of them criticizing thepaper and condemning Rove and not getting sidetracked into ahe said-he said debate.</p><p> Two corkers:If Rove was doing a public service — one that was not acrime — then why didn't he make his statements on therecord?But, when accusing and smearing the veracity andpatriotism of Wilson, [at least Wilson] had the guts to makehis statement for all to know.Rove intentionally leaked information.</p><p> Whether that is acrime is irrelevant.The real issue is that both Rove and President Bush'sadministration have consistently denied that he had anyconnection to the leak.Charles CaldarolaManhattanI was surprised to read your editorial, which attacks Wilsonas a liar and praises Rove for doing everything right.Regardless of whether Rove has technically committed acrime, he has leaked classified information — apparently forpolitical purposes.If not jailed, I suggest Rove quit his White House job andgo fight with the brave soldiers in Iraq.They are there largely due to his actions.Roy ReedPort Arkansas, TexasObviously, the VAST majority of letters they were received were likethis or the Post wouldn't have printed all of them without one lettersupporting Rove on Sunday.</p><p> But I can't imagine this is truly indicativeof the opinion of most Post readers.</p><p> So someone deserves credit forrallying the troops and getting a lot of people to write a lot of letters.Congrats!Now, how are the letters to the editor running in your local papers?Let us know when a Rovegate story prompts a lot of letters and howthey break down pro- and anti-Rove.</p><p> HuffPost PoliticsHuckabee's Huck Pac In Turmoil With StaffTurnover, Mounting Debts - Former Arkansas Gov.Mike Huckabee's political action committee, HuckPac, is undergoing a "restructuring," ExecutiveDirector Sarah Huckabee said Wednesday....27 minutes ago Ben SmithGoing small - My story tonight: President BarackObama came alive about 50 minutes intoWednesday night’s news conference – whensomebo49 minutes ago FiredoglakeLate Late Night FDL: What Eclipse? - A new videofrom Fatoumata Diawara, and and oldie from Bob.59 minutes ago Daily KosOpen Thread and Diary Rescue - *Today, srkp23(pulling a double shift), ybruti, taylormattd,ItsJessMe and vcmvo2 combed through hundredsof diaries to find this powerful list.</p><p> Today's...1 hour ago EschatonOvernight - Folk On.</p><p> Newish.2 hours agoJ O H N ' S P H OT O S Show AllA M E R I C A B L O G T V Next 6AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: NY Po...http://www.americablog.com/2005/07/ny-post-readers-blast-pap... 1 of 57/23/09 3:10 AMVisit ourAMERICAblog TV site.see all 323 videos >I collect with vodpod In honor of SenatorDeMint For the GOPers, healthcare is politics.</p><p> They just Traditional media has todebunk the birthers One small step...</p><p> The right-wing media, thevoices of the GOP, inAMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: NY Po...http://www.americablog.com/2005/07/ny-post-readers-blast-pap... 2 of 57/23/09 3:10 AMThe TreatmentObama Has a Grown-UpTalk With America(Gulp)2 hours agoEzra KleinTab Dump6 hours agoWonk RoomSen.</p><p> Byron Dorgan:The ‘Trade’ InCap-And-Trade ‘MakesNo Sense To Me’7 hours agoHealth BeatTruth Squad: WallStreet Journal HealthCare Editorial Wrong onthe Facts . . .8 hours agoDaily DoseProviders Endorse 'Payfor Value' ProposalsG AY P O L I T I C S Visit our new gay politicssection, AMERICAblog Gay.F E E D S Blog RSS AMERICAblog TV RSS Twitter RSSTwitter Feed Get the blog by email: Subscribe me!
