Letter To Michelle Malkin Sent in October 2004.

Ms. Malkin,

I saw your performance on Chris Mathews' show and it was truly dreadful. You talk a lot about the left well I worked at the RNC from 1985 to 1988 and have been a registered republican since 1986. I wanted to get that out of the way because it seems facts and logic have a way of being twisted if one has a different set of bona fides. It's one thing to recount anothers story, but it is truly scandalous to repeat distortions and lies. On Matthews' show you repeated the smear that Kerry had self-inflicted wounds and he called you on it. You tried to hide behind the premise that you were only repeating what was read in the book. In fact you appeared to suggest that what was printed was fact. Have we fallen so far that now a fact is something that is repeated over and over? The Special Forces soldier that Kerry pulled out of the water had no axe to grind. He was a republican for 30 years. He gave his account of events of that day that were fully backed and supported by official Naval documents. Since Kerry was not the only one awarded medals, did you ever stop to ask why didn't the swft boat officer who received a Bornze Star that day who is now coming out against Kerry make his accusations 35 years ago? Why did he accept a medal under false pretense? He seemed to claimed not to know the specifics of the award. I spent four years in the Army and believe me if a soldier receives a medal he knows what it is for. That the man feigned indignation about receiving the Bronze Star for what happened that day on the river with Kerry, should say much about his integrity. I also attended West Point and I know first hand about petty jealousies and the lengths that others will go to discredit another soldier. At the very least you should try to be a true journalist and not repeat assertions that have not been proven and are backed by facts, not hearsay. I see that many of your supporters have come to your defense. Their actions say more about the pitfalls of celebrity than they know. That you seemed to wallow in their support says much about you. Mathews was no ruder or shriller than either Hannity or O'Reilly, yet you tried to parse their collective actions. If you can not see the similiarites between Matthews, Hannity, and O'Reilly then you are either very naive or intellectually dishonest. Jounalistic ethics is not situational, they must remain consistent. That you always appear to argue in favor of conservative arguments indicates an unbias. Yes some or most conservative-based arguments may be correct, however, it is illogical to assume that all are factual and true. "Fair and Balanced" should be more than just a slogan.

By the way your views on the Japanes internment issue are disappointing at best. I doubt that if the American government had rounded up your family and friends to forceably place them in internment camps you would be so understanding and supportive of this type of action. One can not save democracy by destroying it. Honorable American citizens should be able to retain their rights regardless of the situation. This should be the american way and not subject to the events of the moment. The government would have been within its right to question Japanese americans along with any other americans, but to take the step of stripping them of their inalienable rights served only to shame our Constitution. I'm sorry that you missed the point.
