Regarding the letter to the editor in Amarillo Globe-News (Letter: AGN needs to serve its conservative readers, Feb. 23, amarillo.com), I am astonished that a conservative (as the letter writer appears to be) would assault the First Amendment rights of the press or anyone else. <\/p>\n
Once elected to public office, you are fair game for criticism. <\/p>\n
Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush were caricatured as big-eared monkeys or elfin creatures, and most public figures have drawn criticism in print and editorial cartoons. <\/p>\n
I hope AGN will continue to furnish their readers with timely and entertaining news and commentary, including the brilliant observations of (syndicated editorial) cartoonist Jeff Stahler and others. <\/p>\n
The First Amendment was first for a reason. <\/p>\n
When an individual in this society can tell someone else what to think, and tell the press what to print, we are in trouble. <\/p>\n
