Clearly, they are the victims of propaganda and plain irrationality. I very much enjoyed reading the Bush article and the creative cover art. Keep up the protest!

Sure, the person/office who bought the subscription probably should have done a little more research into the politics of Clamor before buying it, but the rudeness of your response is unnecessary and inappropriate. I luv ya Jason & Jen, but a little more honey and a little less vinegar please. ;) Satya I don’t like the tone in this response.

We're all honey over here at Clamor HQ, but can be known to be a bit smarmy and sarcastic at times -- especially when someone takes it upon themself to scrawl some hate mail and send it our way. A simple, "please cancel my subscription" would have done just as well. You wouldn't believe the kinds of letters we get here sometimes -- including people scrawling hate speech on our business reply cards so we have to pay to hear them yell at us. Seriously. I think the Bush issue is incredibly positive and constructively critical in its tone, and I think our editors and writers should be defended for their work on such a crucially-timed issue. I thought a little acerbic wit was in order in this case. Thanks for reading and for posting!!!! Sorry if the tone put you off, Satya.

Closings oneself off to another viewpoint will only dampen opinion and credibility. Though as long as their are still plenty of readers who take note and stand up to do something about it, then I guess it matters little. It just shows how close minded some people can be.

We're certainly banking on the support of folks who agree with what we're doing -- especially when it's calling the president out on 4 years of empty promises and keeping some promises we wish he would have defaulted on. We just got another subscription cancellation, so hopefully we'll get a couple new people to step up and fill their places.... Thanks Meegz.

That's pretty much what I would have said, too (of course, I'm known in some circles as the bitch of BGSU). People like that are not going to listen to anything you have to say anyhow, so no big deal. Once the mind is closed, the ears are the next to follow, and then the eyes. After that, one of these neo-cons comes in while you're not looking/hearing/thinking, and plants a chip into your brain, turning you into on of their little robots, to be controlled from the oval office (by Karl Rove, of course). It's true. Bill O'Reilly used to be an environmentalist! Am I just too full of it? Maybe it’s just me, but I like the response.
