[Proud2BAmurkin]

Like Kerry, Al Gore went to Vietnam while AWOL deserted.

[troublemaker]

1. Caught that too

CNN

Human garbage... 24/7

[LibraLabSoldier]

3. Hmmmm, as a future veteran

Burn in Hell cnn :grr:

[otohara]

5. Make No Mistake

that was no mistake - CNN whoring for Bush 24/7

[gratuitous]

6. What?!

Are they saying that Stupidhead was in Vietnam? That would be the scoop of the century! Or, as is more likely, are they saying that Al Gore didn't go to Vietnam -- which is also incorrect.

What a bunch of tools. I expect the correction to be broadcast to the nation at 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

[Cha]

12. We should fax, e-mail, and call them and ask them

if that was where bush was when he was suppose to be in Alabama!

[jimshoes]

47. He was on a super duper secret mission to

a little known hamlet in Viet Nam called Phuck Hue, where he single handedly won the war. It was so secret that no one in the world was allowed to know it. KKKarl Rove will announce it to the world at the RNC in a couple of weeks. :evilgrin:

I really wonder why you didn't put that info in your first post. Very frustrating

[Ducks In A Row]

10. it's something I've been suspected about this whole sv thing

I've been listening to the rethugs framing it as two men who served. It's just the first that they've tried to frame in inside vietnam.

by the end of the month, the rubes will believe Rambo was based on Bush.

[Catch22Dem]

25. CONTACT INFO: [e-mail], CNN viewer comment line,

404-827-0234, link to CNN webpage for comments on Daryn Kagan, http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form4.html?11

[Tight_rope]

33. I wrote him...here's my statement!

Mr. Daryn Kagan, as though CNN has not disgraced itself enough by "OUT FOXING" the Fox Channel, tonight while they allowed you to sub for Arron Brown, you decided to bestow more disgrace by "LYING" to the American people with your comment, "Two Nam vets running for president for the first time". I'm sure that like many others at CNN you have been drinking the poisoned kool-aid of Bushco*. Unfortunately, for you the "WORLD" knows that Bush* was never heard or seen in Vietnam. It would be in the best interest of CNN to immediately retract that statement. I’m sure CNN would not want their slogan to change to “THE MOST UNTRUSTED NEWS” in the world. It’s one thing to be bipartisan but it’s another thing to just blatantly lie to the World. (sarcasm)

[Cha]

34. darryl kagan is a woman...

I know she has a man's name but she's not.

[Tight_rope]

35. Oh welll...it was a positive message that he/she got!

[Cha]

39. It was a good one! This is one thing that we as

monitoring viewers can claim as "gotcha"!

This is our anti-cnn Soundbite!

Daryl Kagan said there were TWO VietNam Vets running for the first time in History..

Oh No there isn't! One is a VNV and the is a National Air Guard Deserter!

[redstateblues]

71. Thanks for the specific contact info- Let's get busy people!

Deluge her inbox.

[Tight_rope]

26. Has the jackass retracted that bullshit "LIE" yet....

:spank:

[vetwife]

30. I called and said

Hey..You had better retract what Kagan said. I got an intrview with C-Span and don't think I won't blast you..I will ! Gore served in Nam, Bush couldn't hack Alabama and Kerry served in combat. Retract NOW ! Gave my name and number ........Those assholes !

[annabanana]

31. I told them to.....

take that "Rove"-er to the woodshed! :spank:

[Vickers]

28. Nader went to Vietnam? Well huh, who knew.

:eyes:

Al Gore, you need to go kick that dude's ass.

[Gregorian]

29. I posted this as a "positive" comment, hoping they'll read it.

You have caused an uproar. You may not know it yet, but many people across this country just saw what you said, regarding two Vietnam veterans running for president. We will not tolerate this kind of lying. It is not the truth by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, Bush received a Dishonorable Discharge. He was, in fact, AWOL. We demand an apology and a retraction.

[vetwife]

32. Just sent them an email too ! Blasted them

Said Positive. I am positive you all are fronting for Bush and don't know a thing about veterans...The difference in a combat vet and VN era vet and to top it all off one that was missing.Tthat would be Bush. Missing from Texas Air National Guard when assigned to Alabama.
10,000 miles difference and 10,000 bullets...BIG DIFFERENCE
RETRACT......I will expose you on C-Span !

[Cha]

36. Are you really going on c-span, vetwife?

[vetwife]

37. I don't bluff..I don't lie..YES..Oct. 4th--C-Span will be here talking to

me and the school thing got cancelled and I am picking a new spot for it but Hell yes I am going to be on C-Span. The bus is coming out of Washington ..I won the C-Span contest and its part of the prize !

40. I figured you were...I probably worded that wrong..Sorry!

Anyway..that's so fantastic and I will be sure to be watching that day! What a wonderful serendipitious thing to happen!

And from hearing you on The Guy James Show..I know you will be able to say what's on your mind. Thank you!

[vetwife]

42. I didn't mean to sound ill I am so mad about CNN sorry if that sounded

short. Oh They will tape the thing and cut it to pieces like they did the interview and don't even know if it will air that day but if I mamager to get Edwards or someone from the campaign here, it will. So. Cal Dem is helping me on that one ! Sorry if I was short !

[Cha]

44. That's okay, Sweetie...I was not very smart with my words...

That will teach me..I know better, too!:)

Anyway..may you have a really lucky time with Edwards and c-span and we all get to watch.B-)

[Gregorian]

41. YES! Start a thread. Get a list of pertinent things to say.

Yay for you. Yay for C-span. It's got to be a dense set of key things. Go for it vetwife. I give you a high five.

[vetwife]

43. to tell you the truth..they are being as sneaky as CNN I have a thread

posted on the one where I answered about going on C-Span just above and look what C-Span pulled out of thin air today ! I am furious !

[vetwife]

45. self delete

[July]

66. Please mention Al Gore if you raise this topic.

The two VN vets who've run are Gore and Kerry.

48. A former serviceman's response to Daryn Kagan....

Daryn...

Here's a correction to your statement this evening in regards to this being the first Presidential election with two Vietnam War veterans. First off, to be a Vietnam War veteran, you actually had to be involved in combat in Vietnam.

Kerry was actually PRESENT in Vietnam, fought in combat, and was awarded medals for valor. He was awarded a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and three purple hearts during his tour of duty. By the way, his PREVIOUS tour aboard a destroyer off Vietnam also counts as Vietnam War duty.

As to Kerry's unelected opponent, Bush flew a jet as part of his Texas Air National Guard unit until he refused to take a flight physical and was ruled unfit to fly. The closest he ever got to Vietnam was the western limit of his national guard airbase. Soon after refusing to take his flight physical, Bush became Absent Without Leave (AWOL) for more than thirty days while Americans were still being killed in Vietnam.

As a former serviceman myself, I know that John Kerry is the man I want to have in the White House, and not that other guy who couldn't seem to move for seven minutes while we were under attack on September 11, 2001.

Thanks...I look forward to seeing your retraction on the air very soon.

Texas wasn't in Vietnam. Did we lose some territory 30 years ago and nobody bothered to tell us?

[lpbk2713]

53. As a VietNam era vet I am offended

if CNN is implying that son of a bitch AWOL asshole ignoramus lying deadbeat is worthy of also being credited with that distinction when he was never more than a couple of hours away from home.

That's just about the last straw for me with CNN. They have gone out of their way lately in being blatant and obvious in showing where their sympathies lie. They surely don't need me as a viewer any more.

[LibraLabSoldier]

54. Thank you...

for your service. Living in a military town, i have spoken to many vietnam and WWII era vets, as well as DS veterans. All of them (with only one exception) said they wanted Bush out of the WH, because his sending boys to war was the ultimate insult.

[Nordic]

It's very odd how this isn't in their transcripts for today

If you can find it I'll give you a nickel

Aaron Brown's show simply isn't there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

57. Here it is

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0408/21/asb.00.html

"And for the first time, two men who served in the military during the Vietnam era are facing each other in a presidential campaign."

True they did serve in the military and true, it was the Vietnam era. But that is a slick wording Daryn Kagan used (note spelling of the name).

Furthermore, it is false. Gore v. Bush was the first time. Four years ago, but as far as Kagan is able to think, it was a millenium ago.

[Nordic]

58. thanks for finding that. For some reason I could not

I owe you a nickel. :)

Kagan's an idiot. They need to send her over to E!

[AgadorSparticus]

56. don't you have to GO to Viet Nam to be a Viet Nam vet?

but i guess in bush's world, alabama is close enough to vietnam to be considered in the same general vacinity. afterall, they are both on the same planet and all..... :eyes:

[krkaufman]

62. Just a tad dismissive

Ummm... I *gotta* believe that we *do* currently have 2 Vietnam veterans running for the Presidency, and that we've had 2 or more Vietnam vets running in past elections.

Just check out this list of candidates for 2004...

[vetwife]

63. When I mentioned the 10,000 mile and 10,000 bullet difference

I am sure now she knows the difference in a combat and era vet.
I pretty much said she let her ignorance show by putting them in the same category.

[Obamarama]

64. My letter to the idiot Jezebel Kagan....

Dear Ms. Kagan -

I am shocked, amazed and appalled that you would even venture to "report" that this election is the first time when there are two Vietnam War veterans as candidates.

As I'm sure you well know, George Bush had "other priorities" during the war and never served there.

What, then, could possibly be reason you would mis-represent such a universally known fact?

I implore you to consider moving over the the E! Entertainment Network or some program like "Inside Edition" where your sterling credentials as a perky, little infotainment spokesmodel would be better suited.

[Zynx]

65. I am disturbed now. Horribly disturbed.

I can't even begin to express my shock at that.

[susu369]

68. Daryn Kagan has always been a bu$h* groupie

Other DU'ers have asked if she is kin to Robert Kagan. Anyone know?

[ikojo]

69. BUSH is not a VETERAN of VIET NAM

He is a country club veteran.

Why don't they say two prep school grads running for pres...but then again, given class dynamics in the US, that is probably not unusual.

Letters need to be written to CNN (Conservative Network News)

[ThomWV]

70. I Want A God Danned Applolgy.

I am a Viet Nam Vet.

George Bush is not a Viet Nam Vet.

Viet Nam Era means absolutly nothing. You were there or your were not there. There is no inbetween.

That sniveling stupid son of a bitch sat down in Texas snorting Cocain like a god damned vacuume cleaner during the war and has absolutly no right what so ever to be put in the same class with men and women who served their country.

I am writing a god damned E-Mail to CNN now to absolutly demand an On-Air appology to all real vets and I want to hear it reapeated until the whole country hears it as well.

This makes me so damned mad it is hard to explain.
