I refrained from posting all of the nasty email I’ve gotten response to my Thanksgiving column in large part because 98% of the responses were very generous, patriotic and kind. But 2% were amazingly anti-American. Most were from Americans who, on the merits, despise their country. But this one just came in over the transom from a Canadian address (which I’d be glad to share with the secret service) and it should give you a good sense of the general tenor of the whole batch (though the spelling here is particularly sub-par):

Janoh,
I have just read your article. You should be ashamed of yourself,
are you blind.
It is a bunch of morons like you that reelected the stupidest President
in US history. That SOB is a war criminal
The best thing that could happen would be that somebody would shoot the
basterd before he ruins the US
You should have the troops in Irak read your story. But do not go
yourself, they will linch you, you MORON
