I am writing in response to the enlightened letter written by
Larry Perkins to Curt Dale in the Nov. 27 edition of the Littleton
Independent.
Throughout the election campaign, I have been angry with my
local newspaper (I am a 30-year subscriber) over the excessive
angry, biased and racist ramblings that you have allowed Mr. Dale
to write. He has received excessive space and rarely equal time for
an alternative point of view. After his anti-Obama “I must adjust”
column, I was ready to cancel my subscription.
Then I read Mr. Perkins letter. He really hit the nail on the
head, and I could not have expressed my feelings better. Mr.
Perkins was able to reveal Mr. Dale’s shortcomings intelligently
and with dignity and offered a positive outlook on our future.
Why don’t you offer Mr. Perkins a column in your newspaper? This
paper sadly lacks a political op-ed writer who can see both sides
of an issue, speak informatively and intelligently, and whose
opinion I would eagerly look forward to reading.
As for Mr. Dale, I look forward to the day that his column just
fades away.
