From An Angry Reader:<\/strong><\/p>\n

it is painful to see or read your columns.<\/p>\n

I usually ignore them;today\u2019s on Nunes was pathetic.<\/p>\n

Mr. Hanson,you are a fraud and in a just world you\u2019d be condemned<\/p>\n

to occupy a spot in that special place down below where it\u2019s always hot…<\/p>\n

Delusional is a good word to describe what you must think of yourself;<\/p>\n

another apt term is:traitor.<\/p>\n

Dear Angry Reader Peter Cornell,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Mr. Cornell, you exhibit most of the all-too-common pathologies of the Angry Reader\u2014heat but no light, ad hominem attacks, incoherent arguments (how can you at the same time find my columns \u201cpainful\u201d and yet \u201cusually ignore them\u201d?), and poor grammar. Again, try to demonstrate where and how the column on Nunes was either not factual or was illogical rather than just say that I belong in Hell or have betrayed my country.<\/p>\n

If you are angry at something, please logically explain why and that way perhaps I can help you lessen your angst.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Victor Davis Hanson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
