The AOL news page has linked to yesterday’s G-File and for some reason AOL-generated email tends to be a bit more, um, heated. Here’s a shockingly typical one from this morning:

Sir, you are an arrogant and obnoxious ass. Could you be any more partisan. You are a disgrace to objective journalists everywhere. Take the republican propoganda machine and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. You are truly either the most ignorant jackass around, or you are a hateful. manipulative piece of crap. Either way, your writing is pure unadulterated GARBAGE. Drop dead.

I’m not going to address many of this guy’s finer points, but I am amazed by how many people seem to think that editorial and opinion writers are supposed to be objective. I get this “You’re no journalist!” stuff all the time.
