Friday's story, by J. Wyatt Emmerich, implied (beginning with its headline, "Republican Club Admits Error in Accusation") that the Club had withdrawn its objections to the Constitution. This is completely inaccurate and is the shoddiest piece of journalism we have ever seen: interviews with two Republican Club officers were attributed to one person, no one was quoted accurately or meaningfully and despite what Emmerich reported, neither the Republican Club nor the HRGSA has ever met with Mike Desaulniers, or even heard of him, and if anyone deserves an apology...

...long as poor people are ted rhetoric and misrepresentation instead of real opportunities, the state will stay that way. And as long as delusions of optimism such as those found in Emmerich's editorial go unchallenged, there will be no constructive change...
