RIGHTIST VIEWS DESERVE A VOICE, MINUS THE HYSTERIA

I commend you for your overall pretty fair article about John Ainsworth and
T.I.G.E.R. ["T.I.G.E.R. by the tail," Aug. 9].

We constitutionalists are sick of being demonized by a press hysterical
about matters of putative hate, bigotry and extremism who themselves
personify these very vices to a T. I urge you to give rightist news and
views further exposure without hysteria.

Everywhere we turn, the most dire predictions from the right are coming to
pass. A friend here in Anderson, S.C., was fired from Books-A-Million for
refusing to give a hair sample for DNA and drug testing. Teachers in Maine
have been forced to give their fingerprints in a totally bogus,
unsupported, undocumented quest to screen out pedophiles. A teenage boy is
incarcerated in Aiken, S.C., in response to a stupid whispering campaign by
other students about his political views.

America is a gulag in the making! Where are the TV cameras?
