I was a '70's soldier too. This guy is full of bravo sierra.
The left lives in a fantasy world.

I'm an eyewitness. SFO, 11 August 1972. The good professor is full of Kerry.
Labeling the spitting story an urban legend does not mean that something of this sort did not happen to someone somewhere...
In other words, the label is utterly worthless. Thanks, perfesser.

"John Llewellyn is an associate professor of communication at Wake Forest University"
Not a vet?
oooohhh.... A liberal "intellecti"... Not smart enough to win elections, but smart enough to give opinions and insult everyone else. Got it.

I was about to ping you to this (you were the first to come to mind) but you beat me to it.
More vile absurdities from the lying, amoralistic academia nutjobs.

Even if Dr. LLewellyn were right, which I don't believe for a second, he doesn't bother to cover what Kerry did to the vets when he admittedly lied to the Senate about their killing babies and other civilians. Llewellyn is way off track with this screed.

This guy illustrates all that is wrong with advanced reasoning as it is represented in academia today. It is changing history to fit his view. And is intellectually dishonest in defining what he would see as contrary proof. And above all else, he is flat a** wrong!!! I personally witnessed three multiple acts of spitting(two were aimed at me)separated by 12 months and 16 months. Gotta go.

Lemme tell you something. This Dr. will need a Dr if I ever get my hands on him.
They not only spit, but they threw human waste at our group.

"I have studied urban legends for nearly 20 years and have been certified as an expert on the subject in the federal courts." And you're still an idiot.

Heard of many people who were spat upon. In this case the issue becomes an "urban myth" when it's convenient to change history.
To: mykdsmom
There is also a common-sense method for debunking this urban legend. One frequent test is the story's plausibility: how likely is it that the incident could have happened as described? Do we really believe that a "dirty hippie" would spit upon a fit and trained soldier? If such a confrontation had occurred, would that combat-hardened soldier have just ignored the insult? Would there not be pictures, arrest reports, a trial record or a coroner's report after such an event? Years of research have produced no such records.He forgets that the SOLDIER would, if he responded, be in serious trouble with his chain of command, and could expect to be court-martialed for assault, battery, and conduct unbecoming.

This makes me so mad...I'm shaking.
I don't know what to say.
I'll have to get some control before I do say anything because this is a total lie. That's all these so-called educated people do is lie!
And you can bet your bottom dollar they vote dem!!!!!!

I just knew y'all would appreciate the opportunity to educate the 'so-called' educator.Yeah.
He certainly can't do serious research interviewing those dopers at DU!
Give me a break.
Sounds like he's trying to start his own Urban Lie.
