Kerry and Nevada: Will Jacob Hecht Do The Right Thing?

[volosong]

Kerry has a good shot to win Nevada, and of course, he needs every state that he can get.

You all know about how he saved the life of former Sen. Jacob "Chip" Hecht when the latter was choking.

Hecht has not come forward to support Kerry in Nevada. I think that he should do the right thing and volunteer instead of waiting to be asked.

I sent the following letter to several Nevada newspapers and TV stations: http://congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/

ELECTION 2004: POLITICS OF COWARDICE & TREASON

It is well-recognized that the first characteristic of any dictatorship is subversion of the mass media followed by infringement of individual civil rights. Anyone scrutinizing performance of the news media will readily smell that something is very "rotten in Denmark."

Empowered yet impotent, rabbity reporters repeatedly fail to challenge and expose the duplicities of ALL our political leaders. An objective examination of the Bush blabbers shows far more flips than Kerry, plus a long list of broken promises and policy failures killing Americans, depleting resources, and wasting billions of dollars.

Veterans unable to deal with Kerry's Vietnam dissent forget that true patriots never attack the personal sacrifices and views of another (decorated) veteran. This is particularly true for those like treason-slinging Scott O'Grady who were as yet unborn or in diapers when Kerry was fighting. If John Kerry is guilty of "treason" then so are the majority of Americans who have over the decades have either overtly or tacitly embraced his views on the Vietnam War.

And what has become of personal honor and gratitude? Former Sen. Jacob Hecht's life was once saved by John Kerry.Anyone with any decency and guts would VOLUNTEER to help the Kerry campaign rather than hide under a rock like Bush did during Vietnam.It stinks.

The other tragedy is that veterans who dislike Kerry are supporting Bush, a devious coward who has repeatedly ignored or short-changed them. Clearly their unhealed emotional scars are polluting reason and good judgment. The refusal of all loyal citizens including the news media to condemn Bush's unprecedented slanderous campaign of maggot-mouthed politics, back-stabbing, intimidation, and negativity is shameful and un-American.
