Readers weigh in on protest

Salt Lake City voters truly deserve Rocky Anderson after voting him into office. The rest of the state doesn't know if we should laugh or cry.

We (supporters) are not embarrassed of Rocky Anderson. The only thing we are embarrassed about is our neighbors still blindly follow President Bush and his policies despite overwhelming evidence supporting his fatuousness.

Maybe ethics are too backward and antiquated for a forward thinking man like Mayor Rocky Anderson.

The photo of Cindy Sheehan hugging Hugo Chavez should have made her sympathetic followers wise up.

I doubt President Bush, his personal views notwithstanding, would treat Mayor Rocky Anderson in this fashion. The mayor not only disagrees, he is disagreeable and derelict in his civic understanding.

I was appalled at your editorial blasting Rocky Anderson. You stated he invited Cindy Sheehan for an anti-Bush rally. Then you said Miss Sheehan visited Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Fidel Castro. You were unfairly trying to connect the dots that Rocky must be a communist. Quit trying to re-create the McCarthyism of guilt by association.

Rocky Anderson represents the growing atmosphere of disrespect and disharmony that are so pervasive in the political scene today.

While Rocky Anderson and Cindy Sheehan are doing their little protest, I'll be one veteran in attendance with the American Legion, proud of what it stands for. I will also be proud of a president who respects us all enough to be here.
