Letter blaming Obama, Democrats

for Fort Hood attacks ridiculous

Editor:

Thank you, Gene Broseus, for your speedy and informed response to the ridiculous letter to the editor of Nov. 18, blaming the Fort Hood attacks on President Obama and the Democrats. Using the same thought process (assuming that the writer had a thought process), this would mean that George W. and the Republicans were responsible for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Come on, get a clue.

What a relief to know that there is at least one other literate, intelligent and astute Democrat in Sevierville (besides myself, of course). When I first read the aforementioned letter, I thought it was a joke. Words like ridiculous, absurd and crackpot all flashed through my mind. And then I realized that the writer was serious.

I agree with Mr. Broseus and think it was highly irresponsible of The Mountain Press to publish a letter of this ilk.

I have always had a problem with The Mountain Press regarding the innumerable amount of misspellings and grammatical errors that appear on a daily basis. Now I have a real problem with their judgment in publishing a letter of this caliber.
