The Guardian's campaign.

[trust no one]

The Guardian newspaper has decided to stop asking expatriates living in Ohio to campaign for John Kerry, and against President Bush. On hearing of the tabs idea, a handful of Americans respond last week in the form of letters to the editor. Mostly, the proud Americans are not pleased, though some were more polite than others. From the letters to the editor published:
I used to visit the UK every year. I love the history and culture of your country. But after I heard about your campaign to influence our elections, I've decided that neither myself, nor my family will ever visit again. I'm offended by your campaign and because of it, I'm remembering more of the negative aspects I've seen in the UK than the positive ones. Though I still love the castles!
Versus, say:
Who in the h&ll do you think you are??? Well, I'll tell you, you're a bunch of meddling socialist pr*cks! Stay the **** out of our country and politics. And another thing, John Kerry is a worthless lying sack of cr^p so it doesn't surprise me that a socialist rag like yours would back him. I hope your cynical ploy blows up in your cowardly faces, you bunch of mealy-mouthed morons!

My take

Imagine that! A foreign power trying to, you know, assert control over a sovereign nation by writing letters. Why don't they just invade and hand-pick a ruling coalition like a real empire would? Wimps!

Well perhaps folks have a problem with their letter-writing campaign because we have been nothing but an ally to them... let's see... why they shouldn't be allowed to just invade us?

Hmmm, could it be that we didn't back a team of terrorists to slam into their country and kill thousands of Brits?
