I am still shaking my head in disbelief that Ted Koppel would air this and take the word of Communist VietCong over The Boston Globe reporting ... David Brinkley's book about John Kerry and most of all American Vietnam Vets.
This in my opinion this was an all time low .. and yes this was even worse then Dan Rather and CBS pushing Forged Military Documents onto the public about the President's National Guard Service.
I wonder if Ted Koppel realizes just how insulting he was in demanding John O'Neill (A Vietnam Vet) to answer the charges made by the Vietcong .. aka the enemy ??
Some how I doubt it ... otherwise he would never have done such a thing .. what an absolute disgrace.
I hear you,
I try to have some 'quiet time' before heading to bead.. looking at the sky, reading old books, finish up my journal, but I was piqued enough by the Freep comments to go ahead and watch that.
Ted Koppel did the very same thing when in Iraq, the guest of the troops he was 'embedded' with. When in Iraq, he wasn't too gracious, and it could be excused as being inconvenienced by living with the troops, but he wasn't home more than three days after leaving Bagdad IA before he was back on message about how stupid this whole thing was and how doomed to failure.
Something about being Liberal, successful, and being a recognized spokesman calls for being sly, incredibly devious, and disingenuous in setting up questions. Now we have his proposition that Kerry lied in his biography, again in his autobiography, the Swifties lied, and only the after-action report agrees with the VietCong/Vietnamese, so how could we refute these poor peasants who have nothing to lose by telling the truth?
Nauseating.
(P.S. they should have finished digging up the US weapons when that peasant woman offered to pull up the corn in her garden to let them get started. did you see that? She said they were still there buried just under the ground. How could they miss that scoop?)
Rush is replaying it right now. !!!!!!!!!
Seems that someone in the RAT camp hits a new "all time low" every day any more.....sometimes twice a day.
