Cartoon Unfairly Maligns Rush Limbaugh

When my Monitor arrives, one of the first things I look at is the Danziger cartoon. Usually, I appreciate his quirky sense of humor. However, he hit a disappointing note with the July 1 depiction of Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh as peddlers of hate.

I have read both of Mr. Limbaugh's books, and I listen to his radio program, watch his television show, and subscribe to his letter. He does not preach hate. You may not always agree with his point of view, but he advocates pursuing facts not covered by mainstream television and the liberal press, which I find refreshing. Ruth Swartz, Cherry Hill, N.J.
