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.

'Morning folks, what's the over/under on the number of minutes before Kerry says "I unlike the President, believe we can win this war against terror". or "NOW he's say he believes we can win it after two days ago saying we couldn't..we can't afford this mind-changing."

Would he go this far with his record of changing votes? I think so, remember for Libs it's always the results that matter regardless of the history.

Heheheh. They have to show up, or Kerry will pack the hall with shills. I can imagine a chant going up "One - Eight - Oh : One - Eight - Oh : One - Eight - Oh" at a suitable point in the speech. Like, if Kerry says "I served honorably."
