My criticism of Mr. Bye’s writing stands. The beginning of his original Jan. 24 article makes casual reference to an article “in the Strib,” and references Congressman Tim Walz. He then touches on several different topics.
Toward the end of his article he presents his false information about the NRA rating system, making no reference to his source, no quote, no mention of the information coming from a reliable source. He did, however, slam the NRA, one of the oldest, largest and most successful advocacy organizations in the history of the United States.
Such negative commentary requires citing reliable sources, not assuming that another writer is accurate.
After reading the Jan. 24 article, I spoke with Echo management and provided accurate information and sources. I suggested Mr. Bye take the opportunity to correct his error in his next column. He did not, so I submitted the correction.
Now, in typical liberal fashion, he attacks me for correcting his error. If I may quote him, “The complex issue cries out for a more reasonable approach.”
My tongue-in-cheek suggestion to the Echo remains: Say a permanent goodbye to Mr. Bye.
Tom Lund,
Longville

Of course [filtered word] doesn't like reality, but it's obvious
Any rational reader can plainly see that your Echo Whackos' posts are extreme. You just can't see it, or won't admit it. At least one former Echo Whacko poster Mndapa admitted he was a "rightwing extremist", and his extremist beliefs almost completely match those of you current Echo Whackos. It's true. Admit the obvious.
I mean, come on. Do you honestly think your political beliefs are shared by most Americans?
"I mean, come on. Do you
"I mean, come on. Do you honestly think your political beliefs are shared by most Americans?"
No we dont Nutty, 60% are on the Government tit and dont know any better. But us Right wing fringe extreemist unhinged Echo Wacko's got all the guns and ammo! LMAO
Jaysoffhisrocker: You've got the guns, we've got the numbers
What you rightwing extremist whackos don't realize, or refuse to admit is, we FAR outnumber you. So we have a policy of containment for you knuckle-draggers. If or when you nut-jobs come out of the jackpines and act out in your belligerent manner, we lock you up, or worse, if you use your weapons. You don't have a chance. You are the dreggs of society.
Did you whackos have a chance in Waco? Montana Militia?
No way. That American government you nut-jobs hate so much has far more firepower and wherewithall than you and your rightwing extremist hate groups. Visualize Somalia warlords against America. Same thing. Same sort of low life. You don't stand a chance against America, you useless POS.
"You don't stand a chance
"You don't stand a chance against America, you useless POS."
There ya go again Nancy. Nothin but insults!
And Jaysoffhisrocker isn't an insult to any reasonable person?
"But us Right wing fringe extreemist unhinged Echo Wacko's got all the guns and ammo! LMAO"
And that sort of rant isn't offensive??? Fact is, there are extremely few of you extremist gun-nut pieces of s___ . Probably the same number as pedophiles in our society. We can squash you militia nut-jobs, just like crunching cockroaches, if you come out of your backwoods bunkers and act out badly. You don't stand a chance.
"gun-nut pieces of s___
"gun-nut pieces of s___ ."
Come on Nancy, yer actin like a good little Commie!
We're gonna git ya Nancy, be vewy, vewy scared!
If brains were dynamite.
If brains were dynamite, Nutty wouldn't have enought to blow his nose.
Tooooo funny TJ!
Tooooo funny TJ!
I think Nutty Nancy has finally gone over the edge! LOL
If you Echo Whackos took a mild laxative, you would disappear...
Ka-poosh...No more irrational wingnuts with your mindless, belligerent rants. Flushed and gone...
If Nutz ate a bran muffin
She'd be a superfund site.
If you have to embellish your post....
...its probably not worth posting.
Do you actually think anyone believes that the echo used the terms " belligerent, hypocritical wingnut" in the two notices they sent you?
Did you see me using silly terms in my notice to them that I copied verbatum in my post?
If you can't make your position known without throwing the silly names in and making grand embellishments it's like resorting to shouting rather than redefining your argument.
Quit behaving like a child before you lower yourself to the repeating game.
"No doubt after this post
"No doubt after this post they will personally attack me and then resort to blaming "Libruls" for all their problems."
Communism, or as you prefer to be called, Progressives, is a Mental illness. Cant put blame on you for having a disease.
Wishful Thinking Jackpine.
Jackpine, you are a fool to think you are in the majority, just because Obama fooled people with his lies.

Keep posting Jackpine
your pathetic posts are a great reminder to readers of who the real extremists are.
BTW , still waiting for you to practice what you preach and post your employers name, unless you're as much of a coward as Nutz.?
More projection...
"No doubt after this post they will personally attack me and then resort to blaming "Libruls" for all their problems."
That post from one of the leading "blame Bush" and "blame the rich" whiners.
Keep up the good work JP!
Jackpine, The Echo Whackos proved your point
They actually believe that their radical fringe thinking is mainstream. Talk about morons.
Ds.Gusting, I forgot: hypocritical, ANTI-FREE SPEECH wingnut
As a loyal storm-trooper for the dying Greedy Obstructionist Party (GOP) that now must rely on corrupt practices to win elections, like voter suppression tactics, you are hypocritically attempting to silence my right to free speech through your unsuccessful attempts to bannish me from this site.
Ds.Gusting, it is becoming increasingly more obvious that you are the same extremist wingnut as Tom Lund.
Nutty is off her medication.
Take your Risperidone, Seroquel, and Zyprexa Nutty. Your delusions are returning.
I sure hope Nancy and Sally
I sure hope Nancy and Sally dont have any guns. Their a danger to themselves and others!
looks like Nutz
took a little time to run on over to DUh underground and KOS kiddies for some tired old talking points.
As for hypocrites your beloved party is full of them with two of the most notable Governor thorizine and Taxdodge Al , leadin liberals that are as hypocritical as you and Jackpine..
As for your hypocrisy, I'm still waiting for you and Jackpine to practice what you peach and post your employers names.
Oh, BTW a bit of light reading for the hypocrites.
"Three Wake County, North Carolina, Democrats have admitted to voter fraud charges, according to local news reports.
Kierra Fontae Leache, Shelia Romona Hodges and Brandon Earl Mclean each admitted to casting two ballots in recent elections. Local reports indicate all three voted for President Barack Obama twice in 2008"

Now thats just crazy talk
Now thats just crazy talk Sleepr. Demorat voter fraud and tax evasion? I just cant believe it! LMAO
That explains it.
That explains why Obama won, and liberals oppose any means that would require voters to prove who they are.
[filtered word] lets loose his stupidity...once again
Because he, and his fellow Echo Whackos, cling only to primitive political beliefs, they still cling on to the disproven thinking that there is a problem of voter impersonation fraud (the evidence shows there is not), that he claims requiring IDs will magically fix. Then he doubles-down on his stupidity and claims that Obama's overwhelming win was due to the non-existent problem of voter fraud. What a dim-wit!
Poor Nutz still blathering liberal talking points
and in denial about the FACTs that show liberal are a vote fraud problem .
Really Nutty Nancy? Sleepr
Really Nutty Nancy?
Sleepr just gave you REAL examples of voter fraud for our POS POTUS and yer still in wonderland?
What a pathetic loser!
