Dear Limey Assholes

Guardian Unlimited | US elections 2004 | Reaction from the US to the Guardian's Clark County project: "Have you not noticed that Americans don't give two shits what Europeans think of us? Each email someone gets from some arrogant Brit telling us why to NOT vote for George Bush is going to backfire, you stupid, yellow-toothed pansies ... I don't give a rat's ass if our election is going to have an effect on your worthless little life. I really don't. If you want to have a meaningful election in your crappy little island full of shitty food and yellow teeth, then maybe you should try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin, dipshit. Oh, yeah - and brush your goddamned teeth, you filthy animals.

Last week the Guardian in the UK offered readers the opportunity to get hold of the address of a voter in Clark County, Ohio and write to them encouraging them to vote in the upcoming election.

Here's the article, and here are some of the responses from America...

Well I've said it before and I'll say it again. When both candidates claim the election is for the leader of the free world (I heard Kerry say it last week in Maine - I was watching the whole thing here in the UK! - and I know Bush has said it several times) then I think it's reasonable the rest of the free world has a say.

My preference is for Kerry, but really I just want a decisive result either way. So please, just vote... :-)
