Local political observer advises facing issue linked to D.C. ‘domestic incident.’ Republicans are circling the wagons around U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood, R-Tunkhannock, in the wake of an incident involving a 29-year-old woman in his Washington, D.C., apartment last September. “The only thing you have in life is your reputation,” said Marge Matisko, an activist with the Luzerne County Republican Party. “Don Sherwood has always been very well-respected, and he always valued that. This has hurt him personally and professionally, and that’s a shame.” No one was charged in what police termed a domestic incident. Despite an absence of charges, Sherwood...

Cynthia Ore, 29, who was receiving a back rub from him at the time, has retracted the claim. Police responded to the Washington, D.C., apartment of U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood seven months ago after a woman who was visiting called 911 and reported he choked her. Sherwood, R-Tunkhannock, says he was falsely accused. He pointed to a police report that stated the woman backed off the claim. He also said he’s the victim of a political smear. No one has been charged in what the police termed a domestic incident. “Both parties have left out significant information or are not...

"Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," the highly contested anti-Kerry documentary, should not be shown by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. It should be shown in its entirety on all the networks, cable stations and on public television. This histrionic, often specious and deeply sad film does not do much more damage to Senator John Kerry's reputation than have the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's negative ads, which have flooded television markets in almost every swing state. But it does help viewers better understand the rage fueling the unhappy band of brothers who oppose Mr. Kerry's candidacy and his claim to...

This is a personal plea to Carlton Sherwood to allow free downloads of his documentary "Stolen Honor" to be shared by all.  I would like everyone who is undecided to see this compelling documentary.  We need to burn hundreds of thousands of VCD's and hand out at shopping malls, town squares, and share on P2P networks.  We can do much more to get people to see this than the web site www.stolenhonor.com could ever do.  100 blank CD's cost about $10, and I and my friends would be willing to spend hundreds to burn the documentary and handout in the...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 - The documentary that Sinclair Broadcast Group has instructed 40 of its television stations to feature in a broadcast on Friday night makes some of the most serious accusations against Senator John Kerry of the campaign. The accusations include that he single-handedly prolonged the Vietnam War, worsened the torture of prisoners of war and ultimately caused countless, needless deaths with his antiwar activism 30 years ago. The film is rife with out-of-context and incomplete quotations from Mr. Kerry and other antiwar veterans. Several historians said many accusations in it were not provable or stretched far beyond reality....

Anti-Kerry Film Producer Accused of Libel By DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA - A Vietnam veteran shown in a documentary criticizing Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s anti-war activities filed a libel lawsuit against the movie's producer Monday, saying the film falsely calls the veteran a fraud and a liar. Kenneth J. Campbell, now a professor at the University of Delaware, said in the suit that "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" combines footage of him appearing at a 1971 war protest with narration that claims that many of the supposed veterans who took part in the...
