Chris Wallace says Fox News Sunday will be doing something tomorrow to counteract the Koppel thingie Friday night....

Can you imagine, now Kerry is asking Vets if they have had counselling? (see photo caption) He who guards his privacy so much and won't release all of his medical records.

Also. "Sen. John Kerry, a decorated Navy lieutenant who later protested the Vietnam War, urged veterans on May 1, 2004 to 'get out there marching again' for better benefits."

Some of the veterans raised their hands when asked by Kerry how many of them had received counseling. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)

I find it interesting that there is some sort of preconceived notion that Vietnam veterans automatically are whacked-out misfits in need of counseling and special services, and that no one is offended that people like Kerry encourage that prejudice.

I smell a rat!

Something's afoot here. Kerry's (anti) war standing has been tarnished and they're going to try to polish the image of "war protests" to make Kerry look ahead of the curve.

How much you wanna bet his "band of brothers" is out there beating the woods looking for vets willing to re-create the march on Washington asking for better vet benefits? Maybe around the time of the Rat convention? They know they can count on the media for sympathetic coverage...and a tie-in to Kerry's "courageous" stand 30 years ago.

These people are so easy to read.
