It is a sad day when a letter to the editor delights in death and The Forecaster prints it (“Limbaugh and Trump – one down, one to go,” March 12). The writer of the letter celebrates Rush Limbaugh’s death because s/he dislikes Rush. What a disturbing new standard! Equally disturbing: The writer closes in gleeful anticipation of President Trump’s death. That is “ugly” by any standard and sounds like hate speech to me.
Shame on you, Forecaster.
