So-called 'devious agenda' confusing
In the letter "Democrats have a devious agenda" (Oct. 17), it is easy to see how desperate Paul Rosenthal is at the prospect of losing control of the legislative branch. But it's very difficult for him to make a case against "hate-filled letters," written by "loony, lying liberals" spewing "fecal fallacies" when he seems to be stooping to the level he condemns. By writing his own "predictable diatribe," he loses any credibility he might be straining for.Stephen Barrow, Aiken, S.C.
