RE: Just the facts – Sometimes what you don’t say is as important as what you do say. Some comments on your article in today’s Miami Herald about civility in politics.

Mr. Pitts,

As the Founder and Chairman of the Perpetually Hurt and Offended Despite the Ascendancy of Lord Barack the Beneficent and Blessed Be His Name Chowder Society and Marching Band you probably have a difficult time keep facts straight. I imagine when writing a regular column that some facts, particularly those that don’t fit your template, are conveniently forgotten.

This morning’s sub-headline reads

“A GOP ad from the ‘80s suggested Willie Horton
would kill you if you voted for Michael Dukakis.”

A cursory check of the record would have shown that Willie Horton raped and killed in Massachusetts. Further, when Michael Dukakis was Governor of Massachusetts, Willie was furloughed for a long weekend. He went to Maryland where, not so surprisingly, he raped and killed again. When relatives of the victims went to Massachusetts to ask Wee Mikey how he could have let this monster out he wouldn’t even talk to them.

Asking what he would have done as President was a legitimate political question.

Willie’s rapes and murders, if they had been left out of a prospectus, would have made you guilty of civil fraud under the Securities Act of 1934

Before the nasty racist Republicans televised the story of Willie and his wonderful adventures he was a big part of the New York Presidential primary election in the spring of 1988. I almost forgot. to tell you. It was the Democratic Presidential Primary.

Guess who beat up Wee Mikey with the Willie Horton story?

If you said Senator Albert Arnold Gore, Jr, AKA Alpha Gump, a man who 4 years later would earn the call sign “Cementhead” from his Secret Service guards, you are correct.




If I were to ask if macacas running 711s in Delaware could sell a lot of watermelons would that be racist?

If it were should I be condemned to a “screaming rectal cancer death”?

Is Willie up for parole any time soon?
