The Public Counters the Washington Post Criticsm of the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth.

The public is repudiating the Washington Post for its continuing attempt to derail the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the publication of Unfit to Command,an expose of the four month John Kerry tour of duty in Vietnam.

And how is the public showing its repudiation of the Post?

1. By purchasing the book Unfit for Command in such numbers to drive it overnight to the top ranks of the New York Times Best Seller list of books currently being purchased, and

2. By reading everything they can find which reports the true story of the Vietnam Vets case against Kerry, something that the Washington Post is yet to do.

3. By refusing to buy the Washington Post on the street and by threatening to cancel their home delivery service.
Although the venerable Post has launched an all-out assault on the authors of Unfit for Command and on any of the veterans who have dared to come out in opposition to Kerry's limited service, the Post has pointedly refused to report the actions of the Swift Boat Vets and boycotted the Swift Boat Vets news conference of a few weeks ago, a boycott joined by all of the leading news media of the nation. Only the Fox News Network showed up to give the Swift Boat Vets conference fair and balanced treatment.

It is only since the Swift Boat vets launched their now successful made for TV ad, giving them a chance to make their case against Kerry and the Democratic National Committee, that the Washington Post deigned to acknowledge their existence. Now, the fat in the fire and the Democrats in the frying pan, the Post is doing everything in its power to deride and derail the Swift Boat efforts.


Note: For information on how to cancel home delivery, call or email the Washinton Post, Customer Service or go to washingtonpost.com. There you will find a form to use in cancelling your subscription.

This is a developing story.
