| Conservative broadcasting company plans to air anti-Kerry film |
| 2004-10-12 |
| A politically conservative broadcasting company has ordered its 62 television stations - which together reach almost a quarter of the nation's households - to air a documentary critical of Sen. John Kerry's antiwar activities after his return from Vietnam more than three decades ago. The 41-minute film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" is to be shown on stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group barely a week before the election. The film, made by Harrisburg, Pa.-based journalist Carlton Sherwood and financed by Pennsylvania veterans, shows former prisoners of war accusing Kerry of worsening their plight in Vietnam by engaging in antiwar activities. It focuses on Kerry's 1971 testimony before the U.S. Senate, during which he recounted stories of American atrocities. |

| #4 Sherwood said he made the film during the summer out of rage that Kerry’s antiwar activities were, he felt, being undercovered. "For 33 years, Vietnam combat veterans, especially POWs, were told to sit down and shut up," he said in a phone interview. He called Democrats’ complaints "a blatant attempt at censorship." Amen to that Sherman baby! Payback's a bitch and she's in heat. Democrats counter that the film should not qualify under the news-program exemption because it is a prolonged advertisement for Bush. "Nobody is against them telling their story," Sandler said. "The issue is the personal attacks once again on Senator Kerry and his service." DNC officials acknowledged Monday that they probably would not have time to prevent "Stolen Honor" from being broadcast but said they wanted it known that Sinclair was a partisan company. Well, that's one company against several others. The loud over the top whining is what happens when a media company decides to broadcast material that will help take away the Viet Nam cudgel the left has been using for 30 years against the brave people who held the line despite the traitrous conduct by the left and their allies. It's time the left sits down, shuts up and takes the lumps over Viet Nam that are coming its way for once in their wretched lives. |

| #2 Oh I love how the VP has invited a special guest, JFK, to be on the program. Yep, get it out now. Later we can discuss whether it's fair or not. There's no sympathy from me as Joe Lockhart still hasn't explained his phone call to the Texas forger, and all at the request of the 60 Min producer. Joe was on Stephanopolous show on Sunday. George had a great op to put Joe on the spot. Nada, rien, nothing. The DNC, Kerry, Edwards, are just babies, "girlie-men" Sorry female readers if any offense is taken, but isn't meant to be given. Stick up for your country, in other words. Forget about how to make European vacations more palatable to American tourists. Tell them to smile and learn a little of the language. Always works for me. "The way we were" Nusiance. I'll go to the UN to let it know a new day has dawned when I'm elected. Allawi's a puppet. Richard "Ever" Clarke. I could go on, but stream-of-consciousness isn't my strong suit. But I hope you get my drift. |
