As promised, I called the Muskogee Phoenix publisher on Monday and left a voice mail. Here it is almost Thursday and no return phone call. In my voice mail I pointed out Sunday's letter to the editor by Mr. Parsons who used the vile term "tea bagger" and "bagger" to refer to the Republican Party and Tea Party supporters.
I told the publisher that I doubted the Phoenix would (or could) publish a letter to the editor that specifically defined what a 'tea bagger' was since the definition is so sexually explicit. So if the Phoenix wouldn't/couldn't publish the definition of the word 'tea bagger,' then how can they allow the word being defined to be used seven times in a letter to the editor?
I'll call again on Thursday and see if I can actually speak to the publisher.
