7. At Simmons College? Where Pelosi Gave The Commencement Speech?
Simmons is a womens college in Boston - note Nancy Pelosi was this year's commencement speaker. I find it hard to believe they would host a group of RW nutcases for anything.


"In addition there is going to be a symposium held by Vietnam veterans on the Vietnam War at Simmons College, Boston, at the same time as the Democratic Convention. The purpose will be too take a sharp look at the ideas about the Vietnam War that have become institutionalized by the media and campus, distorted so as to protect those who would not serve."

The stated purpose of the conference is to look at the media;s vision of Vietman - "distorted so as to protect those who would not serve" it seems to me that mean the chickenhawks will be outed. Big time.
