Yeah, great plug to get people to buy Kerry's book.
Too bad FOX never mentions this book by Hanoi Kerry.

Sen. John Kerry's record as an anti-war protester came back to haunt him on Memorial Day when he was confronted by a heckler as he tried to pay his respects to a soldier killed in the Vietnam War.
"How much money are you getting to betray our POWs?" an unidentified middle-aged woman shouted as Kerry visited the Vietnam Veterans memorial on the Washington Mall.
"Are you paying tribute to all the people you spat on, Senator Kerry?" she added.
The incident came as Kerry attempted to honor William Bronson, a Massachusetts native who was killed in Vietnam.
Kerry led the fight to have Bronson's name added to those already inscribed on the black granite wall, according to Reuters. "I'm glad we could finally get the appropriate thing done," the top Democrat told his mother, Barbara, who was there for the ceremony.
The heckling episode served to underscore the resentment many veterans still feel towards Kerry from his days as a leader with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, when he teamed up with anti-American actress Jane Fonda.
Ironically, though Kerry has made his service in Vietnam a centerpiece of his campaign and has continued to attack President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard, veterans are shunning him, according to a poll released last week.
Though the CBS survey showed Kerry opening up an eight point lead over Bush overall, the poll's internal numbers show Kerry trailing badly among veterans, with only 41 percent supporting him while 54 percent back Bush.
See my post 119
FOX gave Hanoi Kerry free pass at 3 and 3:30 PST
NO mention of this at all.
Are you kidding? Whoever did that sounds like a complete a--hole. That sort of heckling won't help us win in November.
He is now reaping the shalow , opportunistic acts of his youth.

Amen, Tonk. What's going on, has Soros gotten to Fox as well? Well, I've boycotted every other "News" channel, I can cut them off as well.
Brit is doing a fantastic probing interview with a Kerry biographer right now.

FOX just reported Senator Kerry was a highly decorated Viet Nam veteran.
Slight mention of woman who heckled him.Great ! What did/will ABCNNBCBS, PBS and PMSNBC BS say about the heckler ??
I can't wait to see Dan Blather's report on the heckler !!
FOX already dropped the story.
I just watched the NBC Nightly News and SURPRISE!
They didn't mention it either.
...all with Sen. McCAIN's support.Sheesh. It's no wonder that the DemoncRATS are drooling for McLame to run with the traitor Kerry
The idea of heckling at a memorial service is flat out distasteful to me. It just seems wrong. I'm not sure if I'll be able to ever agree with doing so.
^^^^^^
Kerry was not at the service which started at 1pm. He was there about 11am, before he went to participate in the Portsmouth, Va parade.
His heckler was "just" another visitor at the wall.
FOX again dropped story at 4PM PST report
>>CBS survey showed Kerry opening up an eight point lead over Bush overall,
8 points???
You have a great profile page.
Glad not everyone buys the Vietnam hero BS.
I think they are minding their manners for Memorial Day.
It wouldn't look good at all to bash any veteran today.
:^D
