(Bush Veteran Grabs Kerry Veteran!!! Yay!)

Not yay. Violence is a sad debate tactic and simply pointing out their stupidity should have been enough.

[Lancey Howard]

This is a picture of a Bush-supporting Korean war veteran grabbing a Kerry-supporting Vietnam veteran by the throat. It's about time the Republicans stopped letting themselves get pushed around by Democrat thugs and did a little pushing themselves. Hooray!

[zygoat]

If I catch whoever is messing with my yard signs, they're going to get a sad debate tactic upside their head.

[Dems_R_Losers]

The Brownshirt attack on this movie is going to backfire on the liberals. Philadelphia talk radio is SMOKING today over this incident.

[mortal19440]

Perry is a total a-hole as were most of the Winter Soldiers.

[Lancey Howard]

Yo! Turns out it was a Bush guy grabbing a Kerry guy, lol.

[Slipperduke]

I agree that the film should be shown, banning it this close to the election when F-911 is coming out on DVD isn't entirely fair.

But, I think our soldiers are dying for something a little more important than, "our right to watch movies".

What an silly thing to shout.

[Shryke]

Logically debating with a liberal while slightly reducing their oxygen intake is far more productive. And relaxing!

[TexasTaysor]

I'm sure glad to hear that! I've been wondering where all the b**ls are out there.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

It's a same that the only play this will get is in the likes of small, "Bucks County Courier Times" type outlets.

Perry is a total a-hole as were most of the Winter Soldiers.

I understand, but I dont like seeing us cheer violence as justified as it is.

[RightthinkinAmerican]

It goes to freedom of speech.

[TexasTaysor]

LOL....very true

During one heated exchange, Korean War veteran Dan Sweeney of Philadelphia grabbed Bill Perry, a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, by the neck. Asked why, he said, "because I felt like it, that's why."

LOL!!!

"But, I think our soldiers are dying for something a little more important than, "our right to watch movies".

It's about our right to freely disseminate information and opinions, also known as the right of Free Speech. Well worth shouting about .....and dying for.

[Lancey Howard]

Kerry can't handle the words that he said himself. Otherwise this film would be shown tonight," Sweeney said. "They don't want anybody to see what he said."

Perry, who said he was one of 120 soldiers who testified during the 1971 "Winter Soldier Investigation" of atrocities they witnessed in Vietnam, called the film no good.

At one point, he and Dalbey stood nose-to-nose arguing its merits.

"The movie's a sack of lies," Perry said. "I was in Vietnam. I witnessed these things."

Okay. Is there any way to confirm that this alleged Vietnam veteran was really there? The story says his name is "Bill Perry" and he is/was a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. I would like to know if this guy is for real.

So to get around all the shenanigans why don't some of the people who got the free DVD's have private showings in their own homes? They could even advertise it because you can do anything you want in your own homes. The cops can't stop that! Only maybe parking problems.

[alchemist54]

they were called winter soldiers for a reason cold to the policies of our country and could never hold together in the heat of combat---
