Good thing we have some really brave people still around.

Summary of the eRumor: A letter either in the form of a JPG computer image or an Adobe PDF file of a letter written by attorney Dennis L. Gurthie and addressed to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. In it, Guthrie notes his distain for what he calls "Madame Pelosi's socialist and Marxist views," his concerns for our free market economy and his anger at what he called her labeling of concerned citizens protesting wasteful government spending as "un-American." |
The Truth: A spokesperson from the law offices of Guthrie, Davis, Henderson & Staton in Charlotte, North Carolinam told TruthorFiction.com that Dennis L. Guthrie is the author of this letter which he sent to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.Excerpt of the letter: ....Don't ever use the term un-American again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded.By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60s and 70s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American. More...The 2009 letter lists an impressive array of credentials for Mr. Guthrie, but TW has not been able to independently verify them. If only a few are true, he is indeed an exceptional man. |
