He was out of Naum before Jane arrived (which you would have known had you read the article posted) Duh, research his antiwar activities. I'm not going to spoonfeed you this stuff. How about puting both halves of the story together so you can see the complete person? He fought in Nam, but also participated in anti-war activities? Sounds to me like he's a responsible patriot who fulfills his obligations, but has a mind of his own and wants to see his country mature as the years go by. |

The guy volunteered, fought, was highly decorated and got out of the service. After he served, he stood up for what he believed in. Sounds to me like a guy willing to give his all for his country. He marched under the North Vietnamese flag. He gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Those are facts. At the Paris peace talks, we paid for the facilities and the refreshments. Sounds like Henry Kissinger gave aid and comfort to the enemy. |

news:faAWb.153245$U%5.689893@attbi_s03... Kerry had *every* right to protest the war, as loudly as he wanted. One could even argue that as a Vet he had "more right" to than others. Be that as it may. What will matter is how close he snuggled up to to Hanoi Jane in the course of his protest activities. She wasn't a protester, she was almost (or probably) a traitor. I havn't seen any compelling evidence he got close enough to her (politicly) to have her stink rub off on him. Kerry was probably no more important to Jane than Doug Flutey was to General Mills on a long term basis. Wally won't understand this analogy, though. |

... Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy during a war. He marched in protest under the enemy flag. Those are unrefutable facts. It happened. So what? The Vietnamese had been kicking other invaders out of their country for 300 years or more by the time we arrived. You honestly think they got a big kick out of a bunch of people marching with a flag? |

Back to the previously referenced
http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason...ear/index.html Extract "The Web site for Ted Sampley's Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry offers a pungent example of the right's rhetorical style: The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front flag is the background to a shot of a young, fatigue-clad Kerry. That picture is pure computer magic -- in other words, a fake."

Further expanded just for walley
"But for the Republicans, cutting off Kerry's potential base among veterans is as vital as deflecting questions about Bush's military record. From obscure Web sites to Rush Limbaugh to the Weekly Standard, the right-wing media are eagerly popularizing the same attacks featured in Sherman's essay. The Web site for Ted Sampley's Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry offers a pungent example of the right's rhetorical style: The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front flag is the background to a shot of a young, fatigue-clad Kerry. That picture is pure computer magic -- in other words, a fake. According to author Susan Katz Keating, who has written extensively on Vietnam veterans and the POW/MIA movement for the Washington Times and Soldier of Fortune magazine, deception is what Sampley does for a living. Her book "Prisoners of Hope: Exploiting the POW-MIA Myth in America," published in 1994 by Random House, exposes how Sampley and his allies abused the hopes of grieving families for fun and profit. Their best-known victim, until now, was Sen. John McCain. He first drew Sampley's poisonous attention when, along with Kerry, he debunked the idea that Americans were still being held by Vietnam, and endorsed the restoration of diplomatic relations with the Communist government." And key Phrases again for Walley (I'd like to try to see things from his point of view, but I can't get my head up my ass that far) "deception is what Sampley does for a living" "Sampley and his allies abused the hopes of grieving families for fun and profit" Jim wrote: Back to the previously referenced http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason...ear/index.html Extract "The Web site for Ted Sampley's Vietnam Veterans Against Kerry offers a pungent example of the right's rhetorical style: The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front flag is the background to a shot of a young, fatigue-clad Kerry.
