As Bill Higgins pointed out, this bit is definitely making the rounds. So far, it seems mainly to be confined to conservative-leaning publications or forums. Sometimes posters chop out all the opinion stuff and just post the "facts." One Canadian was nice enough to edit out the "liberal" labels in favor of the more generic "some" and "one person." Interestingly, the Commercial Appeal, a 150 year-old Memphis-based newspaper, printed it with an attribution to one Ken Haley of Mississippi, not North Carolina at all!

I also found quite a few references to a "local newspaper in Durham, NC," which I am also unable to confirm. This list shows only two such local papers: The Independent, which returns no hits on a search for terms from this letter and the Herald-Sun, which also returns no hits on a search for terms from this letter. Perhaps someone in Durham would be willing to head to the local paper offices and poke through their archives? I'm more interested in the mystery of origin than debunking obvious propaganda. ;)

On Preview: Damn, Nao beat me to it. =)
