To the Editor:
Seriously? The discrepancies in the 2004 election are being reported on in a major publication for the first time, (which is sad) and Mr. Manjoo is trying to refute this? Seriously?
The debate that could be extremely beneficial to the degredation of our democracy and your first impulse is to say that all of the irregularities that this election had were in the tin foil hat box?
I have been a regular subscriber for a very long time now and I am reconsidering that yearly payment that I make to get the "premium" content that you provide, just for the fact that you are not willing to at least admit that the 2004 election was at best, extremely shady, at worst, outright stolen.
The direction that our country has taken since this election is frightening to many progressives and liberals and unless we do something about it, we can start "debating" on which right wing candidate to choose from since there will be no alternative.
Maybe Mr. Manjoo can look into the new "detention" centers that are springing up around the country that are menat to house... who? Dissenters? Lberals? We have regressed so much, it is disheartening to think tha Salon, my favorite news site, is going to take the safe road and not fight for our democracy.
Thank you,
Cohe Bolin
