Letters to the Editor-Sam Allen is easy to figure

I admit I usually skip past Sam Allen’s letters. They are too predictable ‘ Republican: good, Democrat: bad.

But the name Hussein jumped off the page and caused me to read his Wednesday letter. Now I see how simple the world must seem from Sam’s perspective. Just read the label on anything to know if it’s good or bad.

Nixon: Republican ‘ good

Kennedy: Democrat ‘ bad

Clinton: Democrat ‘ bad

George W.: Republican ‘ good

Cheney: Republican ‘ good

But the Hussein label is new; it must mean Obama is Muslim. And I can only imagine that in Sam’s mind, Muslim: bad, and therefore Obama: bad. Too bad Obama is a Christian. Apparently it’s still true that you can’t judge a book by its cover (or its label in this case).
