eTN Inbox: Obama is dirty
Our experience with even mentioning Obama is a sure way to kill a Hawaii booking.
Now that even more evidence is coming to light that he is probably not a US citizen, and therefore can not be president, doesn’t help the Hawaii travel trade. Why would a travel agency want to associate itself with a possible fraud? It's already been clearly established that he has virulent racist feelings and his tight association with known terrorists isn't exactly a plus either.
The best way for any travel agency to make and keep Hawaii bookings is to leave politics out of it.
How does it help the travel industry as a whole, if Obama Hussein is removed from office and we are promoting travel to his supposed "home town"? It's best to stay away from this guy and just do what we do best ... book travel. The travel industry should never show any support, even tacitly, for anyone who is probably deeply involved in criminal acts such as Acorn voter fraud and land fraud with Rezko in Chicago. He's promised to raise taxes, and that means less money for people to travel with, which is bad for the travel industry again. This guy is dirty ... there can be no doubt any longer .... the further the travel industry stays away form any association with him, the better.

Hi Jack!
Well, I am amazed....
But of course I shouldn`t, I suppose I am naive thinking to good about my fellow humans.
Wait a minute.. Are you not the same guy that explained to me that the earth was flat and that Santa really is the one he says at the cocktail party last month?
That figures...
Bravo - to feature this article confirm the objectivity from eTN.
All your answers show to Jack his silly behaviour.
I am a eTN frist time reader, and I will go on.

The fact that this is on your website, posted to the right of other "news stories" makes your site seem entirely illegitimate. After reading this article, I will refrain from citing you as a media source in any way linked to my organization.
good day
I am Icelandic, not American, but I have great hopes for the world in Barak Obama, after the disaster USA and world have had to go through because of the president sitting now. The world celebrated when he was elected. Reading this bullshit from this man Jack is incredible and makes me angry. This letter should not have been published
best regards

This is so unprofessional of Jack. No matter how you feel personally it is not about you. The customer has asked for Hawaii or any other place should be your foremost concerns not because of someone being raised in the state.
Speaking on a note of spreading lies and untruths you we will have to answer for those.
After reading this ridiculous e-mail from Jack, I am appalled that eTN editors allowed it to be published on its website and released to its world wide readership. Publishing this letter shows a complete lack of integrity and character for this publication. While I understand, Mr. Alcantara, that this does not necessarily express your views or the views of eTN, it does show a lack of editorial judgment that belittles your publication.
I am all for having a "dynamic forum" and showing all sides of any debate. But only if the debate is reasoned, intelligent and factual. The letter that you published is none of those, and only serves as mindless drivel from a fringe part of the American electorate. I can only hope that the point of publishing that letter was to show your readership the existence of such ridiculous people. However, I think that the real reason behind its publiction was to create controversy, thus hoping to up your readership. This was a poor attempt at that, and it will take a greater degree of editorial skill on your part to do so.
Good luck with future attempts at this technique. I hope you find more success next time. Unfortunately, I was already weary at the editing of this publication, and the act of publishing this letter has led me to cancel my subscription.
It makes me very sad that you would publish an email like Jack's, I always thought that you had higher standards.
I struggled to read through this rambling, incoherent drivel. It is racist, it is inaccurate and it has no place in this publication.
The disclaimer that eTN may not agree with or endorse the articles in the eTN InBox column is inadequate. eTN has an editor. That editor should use his or her judgement in reviewing the submissions you receive. You did yourself, your publication, and your readers a disservice in accepting and publishing this.
Shame on you, eTN. And even more shame on you, Jack of viatravel.net.
I can't believe this tripe was published on this site. Not even openly Obama hating conservative sites like a Michelle Malkin or Hannity would publish such inaccurate, inflammatory garbage. This does not even count as an intelligent discourse of differing opinions, this is hate filled rhetoric that shows no respect to our soon to be Commander in Chief. Luckily, the good people of America have said what they needed to say in the voting booth.
This person is obvisouly not expressing a view on Hawaiian travel related issues- he simply used your outlet to post his hateful rhetoric. Publishing the rantings of a jackass shows a lack of judgement on the part of eTN and in my opinion does nothing but reduce and diminish the level of profssionalism and integrity associated with eTN. A certain amount of editorial oversight is called for. You did yourselves and your readers a disservice by posting this "letter".
Your publishing the letter from Jack of viatravel.net belittles your e-zine. Not only was the information in Jack's email completely inaccurate, but this type of letter has nothing to do with tourism. I agree with Ronald Flores that Etn should stick to travel news.
I agree with Ronald Flores' comments, though I am not willing to cancel my valuable subscription over this stumble. As a long-time magazine editor myself and a Canadian who has no political ax to grind, I applaud thoughtful selection of content for what is presented as "global travel industry news" for travel professionals of many agendas. Please don't waste our valuable business time by giving voice to such unsubstantiated nonsense. Hawaii deserves better.
Hi Jack viatravel.net
You showed a total lack of ignorance with your statement about Barrack Obama background. I guess, you just out of touch with the truth about Obama and still using the smear campaigns by the Republicans and its surrogates during the presidential election. While we need to use this forum only for travel industry related, we all need to get the facts straight. Obama is our hope to unite our country after what Bush has done to the country for over 8 years, and you called him that he has virulent racist feeling? I almost fell off my chair. If you care to look at his birth certificate to prove that he's US citizen born in Hawaii, remember Hawaii is our 50th state in the union, please visit: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/jun/27/obamas-birth... . Here's about your ACORN voters' fraud accusation: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2008/oct/13/election-... and for his relationship with Bill Ayers, the so called unrepentant terrorist that he pals around-http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/tny/2008/11/mr-ayerss-neighborhood.html
These are just some facts, that most of us Americans already learned.
By the way, Hawaiians are proud of its native son became POTUS, and they'll be happy to associate themselves with Obama if they choose to do so.
I can't believe you featured this awful bunch of lies.
I don't think it does any good to publish hate letters from extremists from any side of the political (or mental) spectrum--and then feature them in your contents list. I'd rather not receive etn if it is not going to present news I can use. There are enough places on the web for people to rant. There are plenty of other places to get accurate news, too. Etn should stick to news.
