Dear Mr. Jeffrey:
In my essay "War Heroes and Villains", I critique Ann Coulter’s latest escapade – her deplorable defamation of Vietnam war hero Max Cleland.
Sadly, she has a history of defaming the men who have fought for this country – she was fired from MSNBC in 1997 for telling a disabled Vietnam Vet "No wonder you guys lost."
Over the years, I and others have apprised you, personally, and Human Events, corporately, of Ann Coulter’s defamatory techniques.
Human Events employs its own Jayson Blair (a.k.a. Ann Coulter) whose record of making up facts is no less impressive: she said “
was not in the battle of Khe Sanh,” when in fact his Silver Star citation for bravery commended his courage in that very battle.
Honor requires that Human Events condemn its own Legal Affairs Correspondent, Ann Coulter, for the very behavior it condemns in others. Further, Human Events owes its readers an apology for Coulter’s weekly demonization of the Left. Most notably and most recently, Coulter defamed triple-amputee Max Cleland.
Will you and Human Events publish a retraction and apology for that defamation?
Will you hold Ann Coulter to the same standards to which you held Jayson Blair?
Will you emulate the journalistic integrity of the New York Times and publish a series of front page features retracting and correcting Coulter’s most egregious errors?
Your credibility – and that of Human Events – hangs in the balance.
Sincerely,
Daniel Borchers
