Swift Boat Book Publisher Linked to White Supremacists Regnery Publishing is the company that has put out Unfit for Command, the book from the Swift Boat Veterans criticizing John Kerry. Regnery Publishing was founded by the Regnery family, a family intimately connected to White Supremacism. Oliver Willis quotes the Southern Poverty Law Center William Regnery II, an heir to the Regnery publishing fortune who's a prime mover and shaker in white nationalism publishing, is moving into a new line of business: match-making for "heterosexual whites of Christian cultural heritage." In an appeal to potential investors titled "Population is Destiny," the famously reclusive Regnery wrote this March that the Caucasian dating service would be no ordinary money-making opportunity, but a chance to ensure "the survival of our race," which "depends upon our people marrying, reproducing and parenting." Regnery, who says he's long been concerned with a "tendency to bachelorhood" among white men, told the potential investors that his latest effort to save the white race would not stop with match-making. ... Promoting white nationalism is nothing new for Regnery — or his family. His grandfather, William I, signed incorporation papers for the America First Committee, an organization that opposed fighting Nazi Germany in World War II. His father, Henry, created Regnery Publishing, one of the major purveyors of books by right-wing attack dogs like Anne Coulter and G. Gordon Liddy. Swift Boat Veterans for “Truth” keep interesting company, don’t they?

factcheck.org Basically, the facts support Kerry's version of his war experiences. Even McCain rejected the charges made by the Swift Boat vets.

KLP, if you want to support the Rep. party, then do so based on policy differences. But please don't let such obvious propaganda as the swift boat book shape your opinions and your votes. Anyone who doesn't learn to recognize propaganda puts themselves at risk in many ways....political, social, and even financial. ______________________________________________________________ And people still wonder how the German people could blithely follow Hitler into war and genocide?????

These guys have EVERY bit as much right as you and I do as to the facts of the situation Did you mean to say 'opinions' instead of facts? Or do you think it's reasonable that each group has a right to different facts? LOL!

KLP, why do you even bring this up? The thing I know for SURE is that no one knows what you did in combat but the men next to you. And with the fear and excitement of near death most of them only know what they did. The Swift Boaters who were so intent on denigrating Kerry's actions in battle were NOT there, with one exception, and that guy was with Kerry's gunboat for only a short time. EVERY OTHER GUY that fought with Kerry attested to his courage and leadership. Now, who's more worthy of belief, the guys who were in the boat with him or a bunch of guys who heard things after the fact and dislike him because they disagreed with his views on the war? The reality is that none of that matters to me. The man fought, the man earned the respect of the men that fought beside him, the man risked his life for his country and his buddies and that's all there is to it. I wouldn't care if he wet himself every time the bullets flew. He was there, he did his job and he kept doing it. Why is it that anyone would want to tear him down for that? And why would you? And as far as what Kerry said about atrocities in the Vietnam war, that has nothing to do with his service but you'd better get a grip if you think he was wrong. It was that kind of war and the things he talked about happened, a lot more often than any of us would like to believe. And yes, I know the war records of the Navy officers who attacked Kerry. They served too and you notice no one's attacking their service, not even me. Now why is that? Ed
