The New York Times apparently hopes that exhuming the old VVAW WINTERSOLDIER agitprop film will demoralize the American infidels...

Hey John Frikkin Kerry, when are you going to release your COMPLETE military record?

(I know some "oldies" too.)

How about Vietcong atrocities against innocent civilians and American soldiers?

New York Times is a socialist (communist) newspaper.

Why don't they just show "Triumph of the Will" and get it over with?

Intelligent Americans already know that lies about Vietnam are not "powerful." The subtitle of this film should be, "We're peeing on you leg and telling you it's raining." The bozos chosen to protray Vietnam combat vets in this "film" are not combat vets and many weren't even in Vietnam. The whole thing is a Liberal pro-Communist farce. It's a joke but, like a puddle of vomit, the Liberal artsy-fartsies will lick it up.

Any minute I expect the left to dig out their old tie-died raggedy shirts, love beads and hash pipes.

Shades of the sixties. Only problem is that if they manage to generate the same anti war sentiments that they did then, it'll get nastier than our worst nightmare.

By the way, the only VVAW member ever to sign an affidavit about his testimony at the Winter Soldier Investigation is Steve Pitkin.

Oddly, this article doesn't mention him...

I'm sure the article included the fact that during the Winter Soldier investigation, the VVAW used fake vets to give accounts of atrocities. Of course they did, it's the NYT after all.

Its distributors say that the war in Iraq has made the Vietnam-era film as powerful as when it was new, and its filmmakers are calling it eerily prescient of national embarrassments

Wow. I agree with them. John Kerry is a national embarrassment.

I got to wonder if JFKerry's films reenacting his powerful battles will be the featured preview for this "first significant theatrical release".

Here's a New Criterion article about a documentary which should be seen after one has seen The Winter Soldier or Hearts and Minds any other lefty doc on Vietnam, just to put things in their proper context:

While Jane Fonda and the nuts will try to have a field day with this, Horribillery won't touch it with a ten-foot pole. It's too conclusively anti-war, and H now says she supports the Iraq war effort (doesn't she?).

If the film creates a lot of attention, someone could ask her what she "feels" about it. She'll have to down it or risk losing all her careful efforts to be seen "in the middle". She could become the film's biggest critic.

Maybe we can get some FReeper's to be present for these showings?
