Maybe the most disturbing LTTE I have ever encountered

This is from today's Press Democrat, the only daily newspaper in Sonoma County, CA. The letter is so disturbing I debated whether to even post it. Mr Forsythe is one twisted puppy.


Obama's hatred

EDITOR: It is extremely disturbing and grossly despicable that President Barack Obama is so hateful and spiteful of American citizens that he orders the closing of our treasured national parks and beloved national memorials. But that is who he is and now, thankfully, many are finally waking up to this fact. Those of us who think and love the United States have been acutely aware for years of the evils of Obama and his hatred of America.

It's extremely disgusting that many park rangers mindlessly carry out Obama's fascist orders. Have these rangers no values or principles or patriotism or backbone?

Trust me, when this epic battle for our freedom and liberty is over and patriotism and conservatism win this struggle for America's future, we will know the names and addresses of these un-American park rangers who blindly follow the orders of this dictatorship. And we will also know the names and addresses of all these moronic brownshirts who stand behind Obama as he gives his frequent indoctrination speeches appealing to the low/no information know-nothings across America.

It is time to end this oppressive fascist Obama/Democrat Party regime that has held the real America hostage for five years.

It took me about 30 seconds to learn your street address, that your property is valued at $303,000, the names and addresses of your neighbors, that you are 62 years old, and where you are employed.

Do you really think it is a good idea to go around threatening civil employees who are doing a very difficult job in very difficult circumstances, all brought on by morans like you? Really?

I'm tempted to forward his info to the proper authorities for making what appears to be a threat against various public employees doing a job they were forced to do because of the actions of idiots like him and the people he supports in Congress.

I would be calling for the immediate firing of the editor. I would take my case to every business that advertises with that paper and letting them know in no uncertain terms how I felt about the situation.

so bad that they need to stay away from Forsythe and watch him go bankrupt trying to save his real estate business....

If I was a bank, I'd pull all of his loans and demand it payable now.

about harming and/or killing anyone who doesn't agree with them, or who does things they don't approve of. Mr. Forsythe is far from alone in this.

I agree it's very disturbing. It's also disturbing that the paper thinks it is appropriate to publish what is obviously an implied threat.

What is worse is that it is a think tank generated talking point that the paper printed as this persons personal view.

We are at the incitement stage of the armed insurrection. He's hoping that some poor sod with fewer brains and a lot more courage will take up arms. Being in the real estate business he must be upset that values are going back up since Bush left.
