anti war activist and liberal prof

The "anti war activists" probably weren't even a gleam in their parents eyes during the Vietnam era. The "liberal prof" was probably one of the hippies back then who spat on us.

MSNBC, kiss my ass! In August, 1971, on my way home (in uniform) on leave after my first tour in Vietnam, a tie-dyed hippie couple in the next seats on the plane loudly reamed me out for being a Vietnam vet. They knew there was nowhere for me to go to get away from them, the lousy cowards.

Seems to me the nation has already spoken on the issue of how Vietnam vets were treated when the Dims were dumb enough to nominate John Effing Kerry, who accused them of war crimes.

Right now on MSNBC they have an anti war activist and liberal prof claiming that no vets were spat on. In addition vets don't hate Fonda, they all love ler. Welcome to biased coverage.

Wrong on two counts. I was spit on in 1971 in Grand Central Station by a short blond wearing a t-shirt and no scandals.

If I had a chance to spit on Hanoi Janie I could probably resist the impulse but it would be hard.

I wonder if this clown also one of those that argues that there was no Holocaust.

This is just liberal MSNBC's way of having their shot at spitting on the vets and sticking up for hanoi jane fonda at the same time.

Somebody should start a website where Vietnam Vets can go and relay their experiences with this and we can forward it to MSNBC and Ms. Fonda.

And even more breaking news from MSNBC:

The new Pope is a Lutheran, and bears have been seen leaving the woods to use the porta-potty.

And I bet you the anchors weren't nearly as rough on him as they would be on a Rush Limbaugh or George Bush.

He ate my duffle bag!!

Same thing the "liberal prof" teaches at his institution, I'm sure. No doubt his vet status is as authenticate as Ward Churchhill's.

As a Russian one said, "The difference between Americans and Russians is that we KNOW Pravda is propaganda....

The winds of change are blowing cold.

I came home in 67 after my second tour and got spit on by a hippie chick at the Oakland airport, a couple of MPs and a police officer grab me and escorted me from the area before I could drop some napalm on that ass.

In 1970 when I returned from my third tour I was catching a connecting flight in Chicago and got spit on again. The guy took off through the airport before we could discuss the issue.

It was just a shitty time to be in uniform.

Apparently, no one knew that Baghdad Bob has gone to work for PMSNBC.

They forgot to tell us that Bubba didn't have sex with that woman - Miss Lewinsky, either!!

Tell lies enough, and they become reality... too bad no ones buying this yuts. Left's been pushing this "vets were never spit on" line for a few years now... its total lie of course, but what else to you expect from communists and their apologists?

Reminds me of this story. I wonder if it was the same professor?

I had a boss that served aboard a carrier in Vietnam.

They were coming back to their base at Presidio and had to pass under the Golden Gate bridge. When coming into port, all sailors are required to stand at attention on the deck in their dress whites.

When the carrier passed under the bridge the sailors were deluged with trash that was dumped on them from the hippies on the bridge. What a welcome home!
