Dear Ombudsman:
Tom Oliphant has reached a new low with his "Big Lies for Bush" piece. He should be fired as too partisan for even the Boston Globe.
First, Oliphant drags down Sen. Bob Dole by inventing a hypothetical situation in which Sen. Dole made up his own WW2 history and injuries, which has not been alleged by a single person. And then he compares this made-up scenario with the one now facing Sen. Kerry, who is fighting real allegations made by people who served with Sen. Kerry. Sen. Kerry has already changed key parts of his story, including the entire "Christmas in Cambodia" incident which your paper has previously published the uncut version that was a total fabrication.
And incredibly Oliphant has Sen. Kerry as the better of the two men. ("Kerry, on the other hand, may have done more than Dole to qualify as a genuine war hero")
Mr. Oliphant is a disgrace to your paper and his words are the rantings of a lunatic. You owe it to your shareholders to take action against such behavior.
