My Farewell* Post to Politics Daily Readers

Matt best wishes in your new endeavors. I always read your columns because they were the only ones I could find on PD that did have some hint of conservatism. However no fair minded person could ever accuse of having a hard right bias. But for sure you will have to accept that characterization now that you have said that AOL's acquiring of Huffington Post had something to do with your departure from PD. Good luck and I hope to read you on the Daily Caller soon.

Well Mr. Lewis I feel by you stating you are leaving because of Huffs liberal views is ridiculous to use as an excuse, so you go ahead and write for a far right agenda if this makes your day! And to imply that you will not be able to "maintain the freedom to call them like I see them" is surely an accusation that I feel is unjust and as I see it, yes Huff leans Liberal if you consider telling it like it is Liberal then so be it! Come on tell us the truth, you got more money didn't you?

Good for you . I'm always STUNNED with how wildly out of touch the far Left is with the rest of us . I only put up with AOL all these year because I'm comfortable with their format. I'm done with AOL...now all remaining nutcases from the left can talk to themselve ...all dozen or so. Hey AOL STUPID move

I share your concerns and applaud your courage to share them with your readers in this public format. Good luck to you!

Happy Trails, Mr. Lewis. I seldom agree with your point of view. But, I respect the way you present yourself and your ideas.

jhanson2463 If all of you depart right this very minute it wouldn't be soon enough for me. There are some conservatives here who have made a mockery out of this forum in that they love to delete liberal post and let there post stay. This has been going on now for nearly half a year. To that I ask you and the rest of the conservatives who continue to do this is what happened to your so called respect for the 1st amendment? I thought that defending it was a part of the tea party mantra? Clearly they only support the constitution when it is something in it for them.

Mr. Lewis allow me to add my congratulations on your new position. I wish you well. I would also ask my fellow readers to reconsider you promises to go elsewhere. Whether we all depart AOL or not Ms. Huffington will still have her forum. She will still spread liberal thought through these pages. If we all depart who will say, "No, you are wrong!" When those who are tempted to accept what they are told because no one opposes it read these liberal ideas how will you help them? When your neighbors bring up liberal ideas how will you counter them? You cannot counter an idea you have not heard. Right now Mr. Corn is calling for the silencing of Glenn Beck here on PD. Let's not join those who would silence the opposition. Let us read them, understand them and counter their ideas with informed logic.

I too will probably cancel my Aol account after 18 years because of this acquisition. I've already read a few articles and I am sorely disappointed at the ridiculously subjective writing. Best of luck, Matt. And farewell, Aol.

I too am alarmed by the elevation of "The Huff" as creative director. Clearly as a Euro she sees America in a differernt light. Less like Alexis de Tocqueville, in who's eyes we see the "shinning city on the hill".
She sees America as intrinsically bad. No American exceptionlism for her. Torture,warlike,bigoted,racist etc.
