I am surprised that The Wall Street Journal would feature what's left of the VVAW on the front page, right center column, above the fold. It's almost like a new membership drive for them.

The article also portrays Kerry as a conservative voice within the group.

I was disappointed to see a description of the Vietnam Vets rally against Kerry that some of the Swifties and forum members attended only a few weeks ago in DC. It goes into detail about Bobby Muller showing up showing up and getting into a yelling match there.

This is screaming for a letter to the WSJ, but I don't have the background to write it. People that remember the VVAW from the 70's and were at the rally would be much better at this.

I was still pretty young then - but if I remember correctly, Kerry actually WAS a moderate compared to some of the left-wingnuts in the VVAW.

If you go to
http://online.wsj.com/public/us
there is a link, BUT you have to be a paid subscriber to read it online.

It's a little awkward to scan, as it has one long column on the front page, and quite a bit more on page A15.

The front page has a picture of Barry Romo, the leader of the group., and the article is titled, "Protest Group Kerry Once Marched With Is Still Soldiering On".

boy, someone who has the article needs to make copy and cut and paste copy into size to scan into forum so we can all read it...... maybe we need to send them the posts of our military already being treated badly!

We're gonna have to really get hot to get thru to msm and even fox . We also need to form protests whereever kerry / edwards and wives / band of brothers go.... band of brothers usually shows up in a town a day or so after a Bush speech.... they don't list them on his site (I couldn'f find it) call your local DNC and VFW for help with the protests.
