Vietnam and the POWs Were Critical

How the Democratic Party thought it could elect the most liberal
senator in the country - from Massachusetts, no less - to the White
House boggles the mind.

How arrogant it must be to think we would elect this
man who, along with Jane Fonda, was one of the
leaders of the pro-Viet Cong anti-war movement.

This arrogance was compounded by the fact that the
media tried to portray Kerry as a war hero.

But this all failed when former POWs last summer had
the guts to stand up and accuse Kerry of betraying
them and the country.

When a single TV commercial aired making these claims,
Kerry’s lead in the polls evaporated, and he never regained it.

'Stolen Honor' Steals the Show

When Kerry and his allies threatened to take Sinclair
Broadcast Group’s FCC licenses if the network aired the
documentary “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal,”
they were telegraphing to the world how much they
feared the American people might see it.

This documentary by the courageous award-winning
journalist Carlton Sherwood was not political propaganda
as its detractors said. It was a factual account of what Kerry
did during his anti-war days – and how that behavior affected
American POWs and the war.

Though under incredible pressure from every angle,
from everything the Kerry campaign could throw at it,
Sinclair did air a few minutes of the 43-minute documentary
as part of a program. But the American public was deprived of
most of the information in the documentary.

At that point NewsMax stepped into the breach.
We decided that the public’s right to know overrode the
intimidation tactics of the P.C. thought police.

In the end, NewsMax decided to air “Stolen Honor.”
Last weekend, we aired the documentary several dozen times
across the nation, including 10 showings on PAX-TV alone.
PAX reaches almost 100 million American homes. We estimate
that more than 5 million Americans saw “Stolen Honor.”

After I watched Stolen Honor on my local PAX station,
I called the 800 number for Newsmax and ordered another
Stolen Honor from them. It cost $19.95 but I figured it
was a way to show my gratitude to NewsMax for SPONSORING
this program to give it a National Audience.
THANK YOU NEWSMAX!!!
