Beck bashing?
I began reading Mr. Munz’s article (“Glenn Beck has spoken,” July 7) about Glenn Beck’s independence day rally with some interest. That particular issue was given to me by a friend who recommended it. He said in fact that there was a great article inside debunking GB as a fraud who spewed out misinformation and outright untruths. I happen to be a GB fan, but I’m always on the lookout for the truth even if it is painful to take occasionally.

So again, I began the article with an open mind. However, it seems that Mr. Munz is on a little crusade of his own. While he insinuated at times that GB’s facts were incorrect, he didn’t offer one single counter point with references to refute them. What he did deliver was snide, biting remarks about the audience, the speaker and even the founding fathers.

Going so far as to put down GB’s choice in attire and his mannerisms on stage. It is laughable to think that Mr. Munz might consider himself a credible journalist and at the same time think of GB as a fraud. There is some serious irony here, maybe you should consider extending the few comics you share with your readers and let Mr. Munz critique Charlie Brown and Andy Capp. At least then it could be considered a matched battle of intellects.

Thanks for your support 
I would like to thank all of those people who supported my campaign throughout the summer. I would especially like to thank those dedicated, volunteer Walk Ons for their wonderful display of commitment and determination.  Your “never say die” attitude was truly inspirational and I will miss our daily interactions a great deal.

I am honored to have been associated with such fine people and humbled that so many would donate their time and money to our campaign. You will always have my heartfelt thanks and gratitude, and I hope that you will help me finish the work left undone.
Thank you and Go Pokes.
 – Pete Gosar, Laramie, Wyoming
