Thanks for the VDH post and ping!

I am glad to have known before Rathergate.

Imagine the shock of finding out your "friends" on TV and in "hometown" papers have been deceiving you - after election 2000, 911, and after over 18 months of daily spinning re. Iraq?

I felt so guilty about Vietnam - for having betrayed our veterans by believing Walter Cronkite and Hollywood lies.

We didn't have access to the primary sources then.

We may need a national period of mourning, forgiveness, to get beyond this latest national shame - the latest betrayal of all we hold dear by our own mighty free press, and those who bought the slickly packaged lies.

...millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.

Rather and others like him have millions of dead Vietnamese, Americans, and Cambodians on their collective consciences. Rather than face that, they prefer denial. Thirty years of it, and now babbling about another Vietnam quagmire...as if screeching this long enough will make it retroactively true. They'll go to their graves swearing allegiance to socialism. As Hill says (and means it), "...We will take things away from you for the common good."

Amen, Cowgirl. This needs repeating over and over and over.

The Big Three may deride the newsreaders at Fox as blond bimbos, but millions of Americans learned long ago that there are probably more liberals on Fox than conservatives on PBS, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC combined — and the former are honest about politics in a way the latter are not.

...It has taken a lot to end the credibility of the liberal dynasty, inasmuch as there were many prior provocations — Peter Arnett airing a blatantly dishonest ...

Also, RCGirl, your comments deserve highlighting:

I honestly believe that by soundly thrashing sKerry in a way that the leftists can not mistake as just bad luck or some such, we can purge this episode with a cathartic celebration, rather than mourning. You have been doing your part, as have many others. ((Hugs))

Give the VietNam Vets the Parade They Never Got.

DEFEAT KERRY !!!
