Jerry Brown’s Candidacy
It is time for you to change the name of Column Right to Column Abuse.
Disagreement and debate are handmaidens of the democratic process. Invectives and name-calling do not have a place.
The writers on the left deal with issues, ideas and suggestions. Not so on the right! Writer after writer color their viewpoints with name-calling and other personal attacks. We have had enough of that kind of political garbage. I want to read (hear) any viewpoint without it being “colored” by personal attacks such as those of Rockwell.
I would like to suggest that Rockwell and others on the right stay with the ideas they don’t like. Address the programs they don’t like. Speak to the issues and leave appearance, sexual preferences, etc., alone. Come on, “Right,” set a new standard for your judgment.
