I don't care what Asher writes and I don't care what "charles" writes.

he's got his panties in a wad for sure.

But a couple of the things he wrote I'd agree with.

And THAT should not bother anyone else here either, it's just my opinion.

All I do is look at the behavior displayed towards Ashleys win.

I mean, cripes.

Some people here will stick a pin in anything good done in the sport just out of their own cynical outlook on life.

I don't think anyone owes Danica a apology, shes a adult and probably could care less.

And I do not think she should be thrown under the bus due to some letter by "Charles".

She may not even know the guy.

And she just might be a decent woman.

but hell, that never stopped mass hysteria 'round here

I'm on the first page of the thread and don't have time to go through the other six at the moment. I remember a Jon Asher article in which he said something about people being so "conservative" that they didn't like outspoken people. I asked him about that one several times right here and never got a direct answer. Like I told him, I never realized that was a "conservative" trait. Low taxes and smaller government, maybe. Against "outspoken" people? HA! I thought we WERE outspoken people against a mostly liberal media!

Yeah, the guy discredits himself with the FIRST SENTENCE of his letter being a generalizing personal attack of anyone of a certain political leaning and, then you're supposed to put any value in anything said afterward?

While it appears to me that there are MORE "liberals" who will go the personal attack route (Why do I think this? LOL), I wouldn't generalize ALL of them just to make an example for a totally unrelated thing!

I think liberals in the 70s saw themselves as being outspoken against the "establishment." What did they say? Don't trust anyone over 30? Now they ARE the establishment and they're over 30!

I apologize for not responding to Mr. Everett's letter earlier, but have been out of town for more than two weeks and without Internet access.

I absolutely did not lie in the post about Danica's win. The terminology used came directly from the IRL. I know this to be true because I'm o the IRL Media list and receive al of their releases. Their initial release stated it exactly as i quoted it.

Further, and probably now well known, is that since then the IRL has privately apologized directly to Ms. Muldowney for their inaccuracy in reporting Ms. Patrick's victory.

The personal attack on Ms. Muldowney by Mr. Everett was way out of line and also completely inaccurate. Ms. Muldowney may have evidenced anger at times during her career, but her interactions with her fans were, and continue to be, completely professional and excellent.

Mr. Everett's suggestion that people not contact their newspapers about inaccuracies is ludicrous. If we don't question things we know to be true we're accepting lies as truth.

Respectfully,

Jon Asher

It was a good article but were is Peggy now?
Who is on her ride?

If it's so passe as the article implies why are we making such a big deal out if it?

Girls are cool but they don't rule!

As Tim Allen said we still own damn near everything!

Come on Jon she was moody to put it politely but lets face it she was a women in a male dominated sport she had to be rough some times.
I personally witnessed a few of those incidents at Fremont!

That was a good article, although I don't agree the Pits are FULL of female fans as he suggests! Believe me I would be the first to notice!

What a lovely person she is. Pure class folks.
