I'm sick and running a fever, and am having trouble putting two coherent sentences together, so could someone write a cogent letter to the editor about either of the first two letters here? For the second one, tossing in that liberals have never called for violence against anyone might be a good talking point.

There was an intellectually challenged letter writer later on, writing about how Bonds's career records were not as significant as Ruth's since they play more games in a season now, but I deem him harmless, if lacking in critical thinking skills.

I don't have the time this weekend to write letters to the editor. But if I did, it'd probably discuss common logical fallacies, given that the first letter is a lovely example in the wild of the slippery slope fallacy, while the second exemplifies a certain class of straw man argument.
