You'd think that with the election over that even the left-wing media, and especially moderate media like Fox would be all over Kerry's refusal to release his records and clear up the discrepencies that loomed so large during the campaign. But no, there is still a concerted effort to demonize 260 Viertnam Vets and POWs - according to VVAW and the corrupt liberal media, John O'Neill and his group are partisans who smeared Kerry. Nothing could be further from the truth.

My question is if that is true, WHERE IN THE HECK ARE ALL THE LAWSUITS agains the Swifties? Even the Fox article says that "Kerry repeated the atrocity claims in front of Congress that were told to him by fellow soldiers." This is NOT TRUE. Kerry claimed that he himself witnessed these atrocities, and in fact committed some of them himself. The folks that repeated these 'atrocity stories' to Kerry have subsequently mostly been proven to be lying and/or embellishing, why doesn't Mr. Vlahos report that?
No one denies that some soldiers committed atrocities in Vietnam, but a sworn, public, blanket condemnation of all Vietnam-era combat soldiers, as was done by Kerry in front of Congress, was a bald-faced lie. Most of us who have researched the facts of the matter cannot help but conclude that Kerry was at best, foolishly acting in concert with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong espionage chiefs in communist propaganda efforts. Many also believe that at worst, Kerry overtly and willingly cooperated with enemy intelligence officers in executing a strategy of turning Americans against the war.
Many also believe that Kerry's official record used to reflect his past accurately and plainly showed what his former Navy superiors thought about the matter, and of him - I believe that Kerry was Dishonorably Discharged from the Navy, for collaboration with the NV enemy, including the revocation of all of his medals. Further, I feel that Bill Clinton during his presidency helped Kerry rehabilitate his record; removing or changing the dishonorable discharge and reinstating Kerry's medals. But because Kerry won't release all of his records, the truth cannot as yet be determined.
We also believe that most in the corrupt liberal media DO NOT want Kerry's true record to be revealed. Not only because as their 'boy', he might run for President again in 2008, but because to reveal Kerry's perfidy in Vietnam and especially after his abbreviated 'tour' is to reveal their own. The liberal media, in particular CBS, ABC, NYT, and NBC ALSO knowingly collaborated with the Vietnamese enemy in futhering the North's 'divide America' strategy. The entire Vietnam war-protesting crowd lives in fear that their ignorance and blood-stained past will someday be highlighted before a nation that learned from Vietnam that protesting war during war time only helps the enemy. I say 'blood-stained' because I feel that anyone who protested the war contributed to the fact that the NVA fought on after they were decimated during the Tet Offensive, contrary to the father of all media liars, CBS's Walter Cronkite. General Giap himself said that the only reason the North fought on after Tet is because of the encouragement he got from American anti-war protesters. Approximately 40,000 more GIs died in Vietnam combat after Tet, I believe anti-war protesters must share that blame for this blood.
But it has to come out. I has to come out because some ignoramuses in the liberal media still have not learned the lesson - protesting war in war time makes you an enemy collaborator, willing or no, admitted or not. The media's DISGRACEFUL behavior towards our soldiers and marines in Iraq and Afghanistan must not be allowed to continue. You cannot 'support our troops' without supporting their mission - help them win or shut the HELL up. Balance the overwhelminly negative press coverage of the Iraq war with success stories like women voting, women in school, free speech, mulitple political parties, elections, etc.
The liberal media in this country, and others (the BBC is now Al Jazeera, Great Britain) need to grow up, wake up, and realize that terrorists will kill their liberal/socialist asses along with the rest of the sane folks, unless their terrorist sympathies will progress to Islamic conversion. And, unless they agree to print ONLY what the new fanatical mullahs tell them too.
Radical Islam is the enemy you traitorous vermin in liberal media! Not liberty, democracy, freedom, the US, or our military. Get it right, or STFU - nobody cares about your naive, simplistic, ignorant moralizing anymore - we're smarter than you now.
Adios MF,
