It covers the land like kudzu |
I'm not even going to touch on the content of the story - It's the usual crap that I grew up with about Viet Nam, Nixon, dark forces, hoodwinked citizens, cultural racism - which calls the POW/MIA flag a "shroud" that's "as common as kudzu" (nice image Rick). But I do want to comment on the "apology" that was forced out of HFV's minion, Lou Dubose, who "edits" TWS and, I guess, has responsibility for what's printed in it (Newsweak has no excuse). Dubose says in part:
"We published Rick Perlstein’s article on the POW/MIA flag, because it insightfully examines the cynical manipulation of public opinion at the expense of the downed pilots and foot soldiers the creators of the MIA movement claimed to represent."Ah, yes. "The cynical manipulation of public opinion" - we can't have that now can we Mr. Washington Spectator - that's just horrible. Who would stoop to such a thing? How could they? I'm being sarcastic, of course, but I don't want it to be thought that Dubose and Perlstein are just oblivious college kids who are too inexperienced or stupid to know what they are doing and saying with their "apology" which is obviously false. They're liars with nefarious and premeditated evil intent - they know exactly what they're doing and they throw out this "cynical manipulation of public opinion" straw man as cover or deflection because that is EXACTLY what they do - it's why they wake up in the morning and why they can't go to sleep at night. Sleep un-well you grubby scum - your day of reckoning will come.
