ABQjournal: Points and Counterpoints on Dendahl
Use of Column Questioned
JOHN DENDAHL’S incomprehensible rant on topics ranging from Marxist theory to Sen. Jeff Bingaman’s voting record would be laughable had it not appeared on the op-ed page of a major daily newspaper. Was it the Journal’s intent to make the conservative right look like complete morons? Are there really so few arguments against Head Start and rapid transit that one must resort to linking them to communism? And most importantly, does the editorial staff of the Journal really expect the paper to be taken seriously if it prints this sort of nonsense?

Dendahl Good for a Smile
I WANTED TO let you know how much I enjoy John Dendahl’s column. He never fails to make me smile. I particularly enjoyed his “Marxists Liked Ideas Like Pre-K, Bullet Trains” article. I am very much looking forward to his next column, wherein he makes the sterling argument that Marxists enjoyed drinking milk. Gasp! And so do most Democrats. History urges caution. Anyway, I hope Dendahl keeps up the good work. It’s great to have a humorist of his caliber featured in a hometown paper.

I’ve been railing against Dimdahl for years. Now people are openly mocking his dim-witted world view (good guys vs communist-socialists). mjh
