But How Patriotic Is Chase Utley?

A letter in this week’s Northeast Times:

Regarding your editorial last week, Curse of the Phillie, yes, I agree that Chase Utley should not have used the language he did at the Phillies celebration parade.

You were right when you said our children and grandchildren should not have had to hear that language. However, our children and grandchildren had to hear Barack Obama’s “mentor” say “It’s not God bless America, it’s God damn America.” I and my entire family took great offense to that. Something like that will remain in their minds forever, but I’m sure Chase Utley’s bad language will not last as long.

Oh, goodie, I guess we’re going to keep hearing about Rev. Wright forever and ever and ever now, aren’t we? I do commend this letter writer for the stretch she had to make to get anti-Obama material into a letter about the Phillies. And for having a family that is somehow traumatized by something they heard a preacher say on the teevee.

Man, it would have been awesome if Chase Utley got up at the parade and went, “World ‘GOD DAMN AMERICA’ Champions!”

    I am also sure that 25 years from now after the Phillies win their next world series people will remember “world fucking champions” and not who Jeremiah Wright is.

    I cannot believe that letter writer in the Northeast Times used the words “God damn” in his letter! My children read the Northeast Times every day and should not have to read that type of language in the letters section.

    They’re words, get over them people.

    Chase Utley’s f bomb is legendary.

    This will be the Northeast Times new “the brothers and sisters are running the city.” We will have 4 (hopefully 8) years of letters mentioning Wright now.
