This Sinclair stuff is getting sicker and sicker. A freeper posted this.

Sinclair is trying to put a trap out for Jonn Kerry. I think this is proof that these people are trying to go after him personally as result to help Bush.

Sinclair Responds To Stolen Honor Email - Vanity

Got an email response from Sinclair concerning my email encouraging them to air the Stolen Honor Documentary.

First I wrote:

These men suffered immeasurably at the hands of the VC, and in part John Kerry's words and actions when he came back to this country aided in their suffering. They deserve to be heard. For 30 years this country has turned a blind eye to their plight because we didn't want to open the wounds of the past. Meanwhile, these former POWs live with the open wounds of their memories. They were beaten until they prayed for death, and then they were beaten some more. They were subjected to endless hours of isolation and mental torture. They were told by the VC that America was calling them baby killers and rapists. They used John Kerry's words to fortify their accusations. Should Sinclair air the documentary? You bet they should, but not to aid Bush. They should air the documentary because for the first time since they've returned people of this country want to hear the POWs' story. They finally have a national stage. They have the opportunity to pay back the man (John Kerry) who aided the VC in torturing them. Will it cost him the presidency? No, but if it does, so what.. It's a far smaller price to pay then what the POWs had to pay.

Their Response:

We welcome your comments regarding the upcoming special news event featuring the topic of Americans held as prisoners of war in Vietnam. The program has not been videotaped and the exact format of this unscripted event has not been finalized. Characterizations regarding the content are premature and are based on ill-informed sources. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has been invited to participate. You can urge him to appear by calling his Washington, D.C. campaign headquarters at [phone]. You may call this station's parent company headquarters at [phone] if you would like to make further comments on this matter. Thank you.

Looks like a form response. They are not even claiming that they are going to air Stolen Honor. Anyone else get a respsonse?

1. I received the same response.

It's B.S.

[Snivi Yllom]

2. regardless of whether it airs

the issue of the documentary is getting a LOT of attention. So far its just the airing of the documentary. No discussion of content yet.

3. I wonder if McCain could dispell some of these lies

4. That s almost verbatim the message on the comment line

for KDNL 30 in St. Louis.

The local advertisers that I saw from last night are:

McMahon Lincoln Mercury
Watson Pool & Spa
Mid-America Chevy Dealers
American Furniture, Appliances & Electronics (new store in Bridgeton)

5. Sinclair lies - it was taped and released over five months ago,

that is why their claim this film is "news" is so disingenuous. It was view and reviewed, and de-bunked months and months ago. They can't even keep their lies straight.

6. keep it focused on sinclair's heavy-handedness. that's the issue.

stolen honor has been proven to be horse hockey. and it's in the process of being proven that it was paid for with homeland security funds.

sinclair is pro-bush and trying to influence the election with an in-kind contribution worth millions of dollars. that, as well as the effect on their advertisers is the issue.

there is no doubt that the pows suffered immeasurably. they gave so much for their country and their sacrifices should always be honored and respected. but this is an obvious campaign ploy; sinclair broadcasting doesn't give a fat baby's d*ck about pows or about anything besides bush winning in november.

7. I think they may be talking about

the discussion/panel they said they are going to show after stolen honor.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

8. I agree.

And when a freeper says "pay back", they usually mean violence. They know no other discourse.

And welcome to DU.
