Letter of the year: Rug wearing Muslim's with AID'S

I received the following e-mail this morning from a reader of Columbia, South Carolina's Free Times, which runs my Don't Panic column. The font, color, italics and stray apostrophes are in the original:

Pieces written by a pile of Dog Shit like this make me and a lot of American's sick. I gather from his name that he if it is a he, is not American, in fact from his writing he probably is a rug wearing Muslim. On September 11, we were not at war with anyone, just 3,000 people trying to make a living for there family and loved ones when 20 of your Rug Headed Brother's killed the innocent who had done them no wrong. Some Cleric told them they would go to Heaven and have 70 Virgins to wait on them, well, I hope they all had AID'S. When I stand at that piece of Black Granite in Washington and talk to my friend's, I keep telling them that they did not die in vain but some times when I tell them they died so Ass Holes like you can write trash like this, I feel like they are laughing, It even sounds like you praise Zarqawi. Keep in mind, we didn't lose in Viet Nam, we left but it was a mistake we will not make again! Just an old Soldier who get's hot when some one dishonor's the American Way because there is none any Better. RSonOfDixie
