This production has not been well thought out, poorly edited and produced.
see below.
I jest can't believe it! I can't believe it! All the liberal loosers were upset over this? Wat happened?
while I think most of us were aware of Sinclair's assertion from early on that they would not show the movie in it's entirety, their pronouncement was that they felt these POWs deserved an opportunity to have their stories told and heard on the mainstream media.
They had indicated that they were going to give these men and I stress the word MEN an opportunity to be heard. They did not keep their word to these men and in doing so, they have also taken advantage of them and only furthered their emotional torture
How many veterans who had looked forward ot this chance to have their side aired watched this special only to have their hopes dashed yet again by the main stream media.
I feel incredibly sorry for these men and their families and my only words of comfort to them is that I truly believe there is an almighty, an ultimate power that will make things right. And although life is fleeting and pain has an end, guilt will live forever with them. You can ride, but you cannot hide from your own humanity. They will get what is coming to them. God Bless.
I watched it earlier as well. I agree with you that it doesn't suck, and it's not a slash and burn Kerry at the stake kind of production. What it lacks is high quality production value, but it's brimming with the fact that it sets the record straight about all the fabricated stories Kerry told at the Senate Hearings upon his return to the States, and what the Winter Soldier gatherings tried to pass off as the unvarnished truth to the American people, even convincing one of the POW's wives that her husband was a "rapist" and "baby-killer", because Kerry and his thugs were preying on her grief that her husband was a POW in Vietnam for 6 years.
And I appreciate that. Thank you.
Ok - perhaps this is too clever...
but what if the objective was to incite all of us to action?
I know, I know. I probably need to adjust my tin foil hat. But just suppose the point of this was to
a. show the dems for the psycho free speech hating bunch that they are (by all their protests)
b. give the U.S. a tidbit of the Stolen Honor story so they'd research it themselves. I mean it's free to download now. Look at all the free advertising STOLEN HONOR got this week thanks to the controversy!
c. tick off the veterans and fans of veterans (like me) who wanted the truth to come out on national television that John Francois Kerry is a phony and a traitor - so that we'd be juiced for the final week before the election!
Ok. Let me have it. Am I nuts or close or what?
P.S. to everyone - President-Elect John Kerry. Did that scare you? GOOD! Now Go Vote Regardless of the Polls!!!
Great post. You have a way with words.
Kaferhaus,
YOU'RE FAMOUS!

I perused the entire thread. I'd like to think that I'm an unsung hero to many.
All in all, I'm not surprised it went down the way it did.
Thank you for replying!
For a little while, no one was responding to my posts.
I almost felt like I was shunned or something....
You're welcome. I just make a point to reply to those who've replied to me so that person knows I took the time to read their post. :)
Someone just accused me of being a troll for posting this article.
But in reality, they couldn't have read it:

Perhaps people these days are too fast on the "troll" trigger...
"but can't access FR on government computers?"
Who told you this?
Fine SwiftBoat movie; I saw the webcast. I just posted elsewhere on FR that Yahoo's message boards appear to be filtering mention of the SwiftBoat movie.
I would be greatly pleased if everybody would go to the Yahoo political board and say hello so the thought police over there have some work to do.

I am blasting it out to as many people as I can....email, chat room, im, etc.
