I somehow doubt that this exchange as reported by Power Line has an auto-reply response as part of it:
Reader Henry David copied us on his over-the-top letter of thanks to the New York Times for blowing the terrorist finance tracking system:
Dear Mr. Keller:
I want to thank you personally for breaking the story on the government illegally using the SWIFT system to track money.
This administration is always breaking the law. They all belong behind bars. Just remember, it’s your duty to make sure they’re kicked out of office, in the most humiliating way possible. Republicans are killers of poor people all around the world. Crimes against humanity should not go unpunished.
Keep up the good work.
Henry David

My take on this:
The lieberals in this country see but one source of evil; conservatives. They are perfectly willing to align themselves with anyone and everyone, and use any every tactic necessary possible in their pursuit of the elimination of us, even if it is self-destructive. From their efforts to keep blacks as a permanent underclass to their use of Hispanics whose ultimate goal is to reappropriate large sections of the US for themselves including the largest concentration of liberals west of the Appalachians, from aligning themselves with Islamokazis who want every person who does not agree with them 110% dead to advocating the breaking of any and every law if it means embarrassing the Bush administration, it is clear that lieberals have taken the approach of, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Be very careful of what you wish for, lieberals. Your “allies” won’t hesitate to stick knives in your backs (literally and figuratively).
