To the editor:
Making the rounds hereabouts earlier this summer in your U.S. Mail was a large, glossy postcard from something calling itself the Gaspee Project.
Knowing recipients did recognize the car as a flagrantly fake-news smear at state Senator James A. Seveney of Portsmouth, Tiverton and Bristol.
As a long-time, full-fledged advocate of free speech, I will not file a complaint about this misuse of the mails. Nor will I detail here the card’s bogus claims and charges, as egregious as they are, lest in this sad era of knot-headed nonsense they reach the rabbit-eared who suck in all the poison spewed by our Putin-led puppet..
Industrious, well-intentioned office-holders like Jim Seveney, who are striving to improve the public weal, deserve not to be harassed with untruths, no matter how high the origin of the underlying calumny. On the other hand, those who made the malignant mailer deserve disdain, if not the fate of the ship whose name they purloined.
