This letter was clearly written by a liberal.

What's so frightening about it?

Do you have any idea how much hate mail people in the spotlight get on a daily basis?

I notice you have no response for the liberals on here that blame the Tea Party for this letter. Interesting.

Out this comes in the paper? Uhm, not that I know of. This was posted to Mr. Blow's Facebook page without commentary, other than to point out that there really are people out there like this.

What do Fox, EIB or Palin have to do with this? What's the matter with you? Are you completely incapable of a simple emotion of disgust, or do you only trot that out against your percieved political enemies?
Think back to January........

This is the type of letter those freaks respond to. They did it before. They'll do it again.

Before it's over, the left will dip the paintbrush into it and paint every conservative, ever Republican and every Tea Partier with it.

It's known as media gold.

You say 'decided lack of objection to the content of this letter' - is that your paintbrush?

You assume a lot from nothing.

if i got a super sized hate letter, i doubt i'd be quaking in my boots but i imagine i'd be at least slightly perturbed that someone would sit down and take the time express how much they hate me using straight-from-the-soul wording....... but on the other hand i might think it's good he/she 'gets it off his/her chest' versus bottling it up --cuz then God knows what might happen

Since I've never heard of the Blow guy, are we sure he didn't send it to himself for a little attention? I mean, seriously, unless you are a regular reader of the hardcopy NY Times, would you even know who this Blow guy, is?

I'm just not seeing some skinhead with a NY Times subscription to know this Charles Blow enough to single him out.

I just looked him up so I'm editing this...according to the NY Times his column only appears on Saturday. Seriously, does anyone think this guy is known enough to get hate mail? Compared to other NY Times columnists?

Ummm nope. The ideals spoken of in that letter are more in line with the hardcore teabagger types.

For those who think we've left this kind of thing behind, think again.
I'm curious is the goal of the Left to have all 310 million people in this country to think the same on racial matters? Will such letters be deemed criminal as they are in much of Europe under the Left?

I don't understand why a letter like this is particularly shocking.
