Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
A substantial portion of the right-wing movement actually believes that the Islamists are coming to take over America.
  • They're not coming, they're HERE.

    Glenn can make a good case that the likelihood of the complete takeover of America by Islamist extremists is unlikely. That it's paranoid. Irrational.

    I think the same is true regarding salonistas who claim our constitution is being shredded, due to NSA intercepts of suspected terrorist phone calls.

    On the other hand, the existence, tolerance, and lack of criticism towards islamic extremists is clear. Read Christopher Hitchens article for a specific example. There are others.

    Why can't the left take off their "I hate bush blinders" and see islamic fundamentalism for what it is? When will they criticize it? Demonize it?

    Do we have to wait until there is a Democratic in the oval office?

    You call that leadership?

    Hitchens:
