So what to do? First, of course, report it for my employer, CBS News. But the story required a longer telling than broadcast time permits. As a liberal, it had occurred to me that raising questions about Al Hubbard might hurt the antiwar movement, but as a journalist, it didn't seem that that should be a factor. I was wrong. No one would touch the story. Not David Sanford of the New Republic; not any other editor of any liberal publication, I contacted.
The bad old days when the "Free speech" liberals control all major media and guarded that only there information helpful to there side would make the news
That needs to be repeated. The above article fails to mention it, but Hibbard was also a Communist sympathizer.
Indeed, most of the VVAW's leadership were at least Communist "fellow travelers", if not outright Communists. They were willingly anti-American, whose actions belied any hint of patriotism.
Meaning that, if Kerry himself was not intentionally aiding the Communist cause, he was -- at a minimum -- their willing tool.
Once again, we see that the truth doesn't matter to the left when it will get in the way of ther agenda.
Scott Moore, a 26-year-old former Army lieutenant, summed up the views of many, saying: "I really don't care whether Al was in Vietnam or not. He's a good man. That's all that counts."
Sorry "good men" don't lie about weather or not they served in Nam, let alone about their rank or weather they were wounded.
