"Oh, you liberal scum!"

That’s how Glens Falls Post-Star editor Ken Tingley describes some of the reaction to his paper’s endorsement over the weekend of Democrat Barack Obama.

Several readers fired some vicious shots that they were not surprised because we are liberal-leaning newsroom.

In the Sunday editorial, the Post-Star supported Obama and blasted Republican John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as the veep nominee:

His politically motivated selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate is reason alone not to vote for him. Inexperienced, unprepared and unqualified for such a high office, Gov. Palin is the wrong person to place a breath away from the presidency in such difficult times.

Read Tingley’s blog entry here, which includes the desire for election season to be over so that “some sanity returns.”
