Thanks for the report.
You have Chris Matthews confused with Chris Wallace. We don't know about Chris Matthews' father, but his brother is a Republican running (IIRC) for Lt. Gov in Pennsylvania.
No I don't Matthews father was a Tammany Hall
type thug/apparatchik for the Dims, for most
of his life.
Ohh - didn't know that. Never heard a thing about his father.
VFW to Kerry: Don’t Use Troops as Butt of Jokes
WASHINGTON, Oct 31, 2006 - The national commander of America’s largest organization of combat veterans is calling for an apology from Sen. John Kerry, who told a group of college students yesterday that education is the key to keeping themselves out of Iraq.
“The senator was attempting levity and it backfired, big time,” said Gary Kurpius, the commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. “You don’t use troops as the butt of your jokes.”
The Massachusetts senator, who was speaking at Pasadena City College on behalf of the California democratic gubernatorial challenger, said: “You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
“Senator Kerry is a decorated Vietnam veteran and a fellow VFW member who differs with the president on the prosecution of the war, but that doesn’t give him carte blanche to use education as a weapon and our servicemen and women as his targets,” said Kurpius, who’s also a Vietnam veteran.
“There’s already a serious disconnect between the war’s impact on the general population and the 2.2 million who proudly serve in uniform,” he said. “Let’s not use politics to widen that gap.”

He stated again tonight that it was a set up by the White House and the Legion. He also referened Kerrys awful Vetnam speech and asked Buchanna if one more soldier should die in Iraq. No kidding. His leftism in showing very much this past 2 months. He assumes as the rest of the Liberal Media that Reps are aganist gay marriage and in doing so they are gay bashing. Really. Is being aganist gay marriage gay bashing.
