Sinclair to air anti-Kerry special (Stolen Honor)
Washington Times ^ | Oct. 9, 2004 | UPI

Posted on 10/09/2004 4:26:55 PM PDT by FairOpinion

New York, NY, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- A conservative U.S. broadcaster whose outlets reach one-quarter of the nation's TV viewers is airing a film that attacks John Kerry just before the election.

Sinclair Broadcast Group has ordered its 62 stations to preempt regular programming during primetime to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

The film, funded by Pennsylvania veterans and produced by a veteran and former Washington Times reporter, features former POWs accusing Kerry -- a decorated U.S. Navy veteran who later protested the war -- of worsening their ordeal by prolonging the conflict.

The one-hour special, which will be aired between Oct. 21 and Oct. 24 depending on the city, will be followed by a panel discussion to which Kerry will be invited, potentially satisfying fairness regulations, the Times reported.

"I just thought we were above these kinds of things."


Above WHAT things, telling the truth?

You think it's OK for Kerry, Moore, Soros spend hundreds of millions to LIE to the American people, but it's not OK for Republicans to point out the truth?


You and "killjoy" sound just like the Democrats who were screaming about the TRUE SwiftVets ads, after MoveOn and Soros has spent multi millions bashing Bush with lies, and are continuing to do so.

Are you sure you are on the right website?

Are you aware of this?

ABCNEWS POLITICAL DIRECTOR MEMO SPARKS CONTROVERSY: BOTH SIDES NOT 'EQUALLY ACCOUNTABLE' (Drudge)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1239754/posts

An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff: During coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush not to "reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable."

The controversial internal memo obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how "Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win."

But Halperin claims that Bush is hoping to "win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions."

"I think there comes a time when you take the moral high road, rest on your message, and let that speak for itself."

I've kept my mouth shut since 1969 when I got out.

Then this scumbag of a traitor showed up.

And then hanoi Jane

And the rest of the peace niks from the past.

I'll not be silent!

The figleaf, the pretense of objectivity is an important deterrent. Dan Rather would rather have his newsmagazine show be called "Mother Jones" than "60 minutes". This is all just very unsavory and may have negative reprecussions. The key to the Dan Rather fiasco is that he got caught. Now he can just say that the other side does the same thing.

You are 100% wrong in your assumption that I support what Moore and Soros are doing. My point is do we really want to lower ourselves to their level? If we can not win this election by taking the high ground, then all hope is lost anyways.

I just thought we were above these kinds of things.

Sadly, we must play the game on the same field. Imagine if MoveOn.org were the only 527.

The fact is, the truth about Kerry's service should have been addressed long ago.

I agree. But we cannot trust the Leftist media to do the things it should. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS (and others) are nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC.

Stolen Valor should have been aired long ago.

I don't know when it was produced, so can't comment on that.

It just feels like a cheap shot. Something that CBS would do.

Nah. If CBS did it, it would be 100% fraudulent, and based on "documents" written in crayon.

Dear Joe: The major issue in the Swiftboat stories is, and always has been, what John Kerry did in 1971 after he returned from Vietnam.

Kerry cast a long dark shadow over all Vietnam Veterans with his outright perjury before the Senate concerning atrocities in Vietnam. His stories to the Senate committee were absolute lies.. fabrications.. perjury.. fantasies, with NO substance. That dark shadow has defamed the entire Vietnam War veteran population, and gave "Aid and Comfort" to our enemies..the Vietnamese Communists. Kerry's stories were outright fabrications, and were intended for political gain with the radical left..McGovern, Teddy and Bobby Kennedy followers, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and the radical left who fantasized that George McGovern was going to be elected in 1972. Little wonder that returning soldiers from Vietnam were spit upon and castigated as "baby killers". A returned war hero said so.

Kerry cut a dashing figure as a war hero, lots of medals, and returned home because of multiple war wounds..even a silver star. His Senate testimony confirmed what every hippie had been chanting on the streets.."Hey hey LBJ..How many kids did you kill today"????? He obviously was running for political office in 1971.

Until Lt. John O' Neil, himself a Swifboat commander, spoke out before the 1972 elections against Kerry's outright deceptions, there was no one from the Swiftboat scene that could contradict Kerry's self serving lies.

I was a POW of the Vietnamese in Hanoi in 1971, and I am aware that the testimony of John Kerry, the actions of Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, and the radical left; all caused the commies to conclude that if they hung on..they would win. North Vietnamese General Bui Tin commented that every day the Communist leadership listened to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the anti-war movement. Visits to Hanoi by Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark gave them confidence to hold in the face of battlefield reverses. The guts of it was that propaganda from the anti-war group was part of their combat strategy.

While the Commies were hanging on, innumerable U.S. Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Air Foce members were being killed in combat. Every battle wound to Americans after Kerry's misdirected testimony is related to Kerry's untruthfulness. John Kerry contributed to every one of these deaths with his lies about U.S. atrocities in Vietnam. He likewise defamed the U.S. with our allies and supporters.
His conduct also extended the imprisonment of the Vietnam Prisoners of War, of which I was one. I am certain of at least one POW death after his testimony, which might have been prevented with an earlier release of the POWs.

My friend and room mate Senator John S. McCain denounced the Swiftboat video by John O'Neil. I have a different take on the Swiftboat tape and disagree with my good friend John.
John Kerry opened up his character as a war hero reporting for duty to the country with a hand salute...and his band of brothers..of which he was the chief hero. Most of his convention speech was about John Kerry..Vietnam hero, and his band of brothers. John Kerry's character is not only fair game, it is the primary issue. He wants to use Bill Clinton's "is", as an answer to his lack of character.

The issue is trust. Can anyone trust John Kerry?? "Never lie, cheat or steal" is the West Point motto. When a witness perjures himself at trial, the judge notes that his testimony lacks crediblity. Should we elect a known proven liar to lead us in wartime??

I draw a direct comparison of General Benedict Arnold of the Revolutionary War, to Lieutenant John Kerry. Both went off to war, fought, and then turned against their country. General Arnold crossed over to the British for money and position. John Kerry crossed over to the Vietnamese with his assistance to the anti-war movement, and his direct liason with the Vietnamese diplomats in Paris. His reward. Political gain. Senator..United States.

His record as a Senator for twenty years has been pitiful. Conjure up, if you will, one major bill that he has sponsored.
John Kerry for President? Ridiculous. Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Outrageous.

Of course, I'm aware of that. And now it's exposed. The important part is that it is exposed. And I should have referred to it correctly as "Stolen Honor". BTW, it can be viewed on the computer on a pay-per-view basis for $4.99 (PayPal). The DVD is $19.99

"I'll not be silent! "

Nor should you be. We can be silent and allow traitor Kerry to win, or speak up, shout, scream THE TRUTH about him and defeat him.

Anyone advising silence are working to get KERRY elected, whether knowingly or by being useful idiots, having bought into some mythical "rules" which only exist for the Republicans.

The fate of the country, our very lives are at stake. It's time to pull out all the stops, to defeat the enemy: KERRY.

Unfortunately, the documentary is 100% true and because of the way Sinclair is broadcasting it, it will be viewed as a political trick, compared to Moore's documentary and dismissed out of hand.

Just because you're telling the truth doesn't mean that everyone else will believe it.

The term useful idiot does NOT meant that people being referred to as such are idiots. What it means that there are people who are naive and idealistic, who don't realize that their actions end up helping the enemy.

You work to expose it's falsehoods, as many, in both film and on the net, have done in the case of Moores' F9/11. (Example: http://www.centigrade911.com/)

We can't be silent about the truth because we're afraid the other side might lie. They (e.g. Moore, Rather) are already doing that.
