Daily Kos - 60 idiot papers run Repug Astroturf letter praising *
The GW04 site has handy templates for letters to the editor. See the top one on the list:

New job figures and other recent economic data show that America's economy is strong and getting stronger - and that the President's jobs and growth plan is working. The Labor Department announced that employers added 288,000 new jobs in April. In total, over 1.1 million jobs have been added since August, with 8 consecutive months of gains.

Now google that entire phrase, and see the results.

About 60 newspapers have run that letter, sent by GOP automatons too stupid to vary the wording even a tiny bit.

1. Silly you
you can't expect freepers to think for theirselves. They are challenged in many ways.

2. We need to find WHO makes the decisions to run this right wing crap
So many newspapers and television stations get their news leads directly from these mail blasted right wing lies. We need to find out who makes the decision to run this crap, and then hold them personally responsible.

3. You're being too harsh on the papers.
How are they supposed to know it's astroturf?

4. Have their editors check the GW04 site that puts out the astroturf
If we can find this stuff, why can't they?
