Wow. That sheds a different light, both on the amount of appropriately disrespectful behavior, as well as on the media's efforts to hide the truth. Do you have a citation, or photos, or other evidence (people who were there) that a hundred or more VFW members turned back-to while Kerry was speaking?
Hmm, I'm searching for the source, but so far found only this:
"Kerry's reception by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, on Aug. 18, put him on notice; many veterans have not forgiven him for trashing the Vietnam War back in the 1970s. Some walked out of his speech. A few turned their backs in protest. The majority listened politely but responded with only tepid applause."
...from the NY Daily News. Not a hundred, but more than two.
Let's wait and see what happens this morning, now that the idea is out there that the vets can shun him.
