You know guys this one is even bigger than Dan Rather’s false and fraudulent report:

Ted Kopulate is at it again. Tonight Oct 14, 2004 we will all find out the “truth” about Kerry’s war exploits on Feb. 28, 1969. How much do you think it cost Nightline to send a crew to Vietnam and dig up a few poor saps and promise them whatever they desired to give an interview about some obscure day 35 years ago?

Here is what they expect us to believe: “The witnesses, all Vietnamese, are still living in the same villages where the fighting took place more than 35 years ago. A Nightline producer visited them and recorded their accounts of that day. The accounts were subsequently translated by a team of ABC News translators.” Get real!

And you’d have to be brain dead not to realize that this self-serving declaration is bogus: “Nightline's request to visit the village, saying they did not want to somehow influence the U.S. presidential election.” This doesn’t even pass the laugh test Ted! Let me see if I got the intent of your innocent disclosure? What we are about to hear from the “paid off” witnesses you concocted is that they are “fair and balanced” just like FOX news? Well Ted, let me take a few more sips of your kool-aid and then maybe I’ll be convinced.

“According to Vo, there were at least 20 Viet Cong soldiers at Nha Vi there that day. "There were 12 soldiers from the provincial level and eight from the district level," he said. His wife, Vo Thi Vi, 54, said Feb. 28, 1969, is a day that the villagers of Nha Vi hamlet will never forget. "Everything was destroyed," she said. "There's no houses left. They leveled everything. There was no leaves left. The fighting was very fierce."

How fortuitous to find anyone who remembers John Kerry. These people know more about John Kerry than most of the people who intend to vote for him!

I’d like to say what I really think of Teddy the Kopulator but it “wouldn’t be prudent”.

Wasn't it Ted who said in response to the critics about their one sided reports .. that ABC didn't have the time, money and resources to report on everything that is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan ???

That would be hilarious if it weren't so true...............and scary.

Remember that one of Kerry's buddies used to be a Vietnamese translator during the war and afterwards. Now he is a rep to many big U.S. companies seeking to do business in Vietnam.

Maybe the Vietnam versions of the papers should be posted so that South Vietnamese who hate Kerry can look at them and verify the translations.
