LTE: Oh don't hit me with photo of bloody Iraq Street on Front Page!

[RamboLiberal]

Idiot letter of the day in my local paper!

Sickening photo

When I picked up the paper in the driveway last Wednesday, I was sickened by the photo on the front page. The last thing I want to look at in the morning or any other time of the day is a picture of a pool of blood (photo accompanied Jan. 17 article "For Iraqis, Deadly Day, Deadlier Year").

I am well aware of the violence that goes on in this world, but I don't want it to hit me in the face first thing in the morning.

With all the violence in the world and crime in our own neighborhoods, I would think you could focus on printing something more pleasant on the front page.

The world would be a better place if the news media (newspaper and TV) focused their attention on good things instead of everything negative.

CORA MORLEY

On edit found the photo that so upset Cora Morley

I wrote a letter to editor quoting our Dear Leader's quote last week that American's sacrifice their peace of mind when they see new from Iraq. I asked why Cora Morley couldn't even sacrifice that. Let's see if they publish it.

1. Please only print photos of bunnies, rainbows and kittens for Ms. Morley

Don't want to bother her beautiful mind.

2. What an idiot. Why doesn't this person devote a bit of that outrage to the war, that might be

a bit more productive, eh?

3. Where's her sense of "sacrifice?"

Doesn't she want to do her part....and why does she hate America? :eyes:

4. Dear Ms. Corley

Perhaps if you and others paid attention to the bad news you wouldn't allow our government to be behind so much of it.

Sincerely, etc.

5. Probably one of Bar's cousins. n/t

6. Dear Cora needs to wake up IN Iraq.

Maybe then dear Cora will grow the fuck up and see REALITY that so many have no choice about being hit in the face with...thanks to MFers like George W. bUsh and his supporters. Like Cora Morley.

7. If my government does horrible things that I am indirectly responsible for, please don't remind me.

I only want to know about flowers and rainbows and pretty birdies that sing sweet songs.

8. Poor woman can't see the forest. See that building in the background behind the bloody street...?

I think it's one of the schools we had KBR build for $50million. Of course parents are too scared to let their kids go there, but right there you see one of Bush's top success stories. It's just a matter of seeing the glass half full.

9. To paraphrase Ms. Morley...

Dear Ms. Morley,

"With all the violence in the world and crime in our own neighborhoods, I would think you could focus on" something more important than a picture on the front page of your morning paper? By the way, I'm just wondering, do you support the U.S. led wars currently raging around the planet and creating such gruesome images?

10. Wouldn't be surprised if she was one of those with the bogus

"abortion picture" on her lawn and signs ...
