After reading Jeremy Lott's "Pounding Ploughshares Into Swords" and then reading Joseph Farah's response to it, I have to say I have never seen such an outright misreading of a fairly complimentary article. For someone in a supposed editorial position, Mr. Farah apparently lacks even the most basic reading comprehension ability. And just because he doesn't like the word "conservative" doesn't mean that he isn't one.

Mr. Farah needs a reality check. Consider his recent column of sympathy for Texas murderer Clara Harris where he wrote, "Send a message far and wide -- no cheating husband is safe from the wrath of his angry wife. And, vice versa, no cheating wife is safe from the wrath of an angry husband. There is a price to pay. Sometimes it's the ultimate price." In the column, Mr. Farah plainly advocates the murder of adulterers without involving the justice system.

p>Mr. Farah may take offense that a former employee would call his publication conservative, and, on second thought, he may be right. From now on, I'll just call him a [flake]. br> --
