I heard that...somewhere.
It's probably from 'lots of people', a common source some posters.'

I don't see why you're attempting to bait me by slamming LBJ. The guy was three years dead before I was born.
And that just happens to be when history began.

If you do not have the ability to learn history, why are you posting anything in this thread?
Tricky Dick ran in '68 on he had a secret plan to end the war Vietnam, it was a lie. In the end 58,000 of our soldiers died and apparently that's not enough for some people on the Right.Dig him up. Maybe he learned something by now with his dirt nap time. Maybe this time around he'll be smart enough not to be just another senseless liberal.
Yes, because clearly she's just as much of a monster as those people. :roll:
the spitting was isolated -and considering the nation was split in 2,,,well I'll not try to justify it. It was wrong, and disrespectful.
I was on the home frontlines, trying to get the war stopped. It's long over, and the dead died for nothing but their service to America.
Not for Vietnam, not for a nobel goal; but that is enough. All blessings to them who serve.
:doh
DUDE.
IT. DOES. NOT. WORK. LIKE. THAT.
:2brickwal
But you think whatever you want.
thanks for the anecdotal, it happened. It wasn't the norm, most of us at least understoodI didn't serve. But let me be the first to tell you that hippy has yards STILL spit on our troops and I personally witnessed 1 dirt ball occupy punk spit on a marine friend scarred and so riddled with PTSD that he couldn't drive a car.
"Isolated" is certainly garbage.
What on earth are you talking about? You're simply pulling attacks out of thin air.
My query regarding LBJ and you attempting to use him as an anti-liberal cudgel has nothing to do with "learning history;" I was simply asking what the point was. Although I know what it was -- since he escalated the war, you are attempting to use him to blame "liberals" for Vietnam. Because anytime anything bad happens, the right's first instinct is to find a way to make it be a liberal's fault.

I've given you an opening for everything but your opinion to substantiate your claim that it was treason, but either you were too lazy, or you couldn't find the source, I don't know what...but either way it's not my fault so don't yap at me.
I remember it was JFK who sent advisers to Vietnam and it was LBJ who escalated it. He declined to run for another term because he realized he did wrong. Who knows what would have happened if JFK was not assassinated on Nov 22, 1963?Don't you know that the only way to keep a secret is not to tell anybody? So how would you know if he actually had a secret?
Are you now trying to say Nixon was a right winger? LOL. You too would find that really, really funny if you ever bothered to looked at what he did as President.
Apparently "58,000" of our soldiers deaths is not enough for the you to know that a liberal started our combat involvement in Vietnam.
Vietnam vets will never accept and apology from this woman. She should be charged and tried as a traitor to this country......what she said and did is inexcusable May she rot in hell..

I made my peace with the Viet. vets long ago - something you might want to consider.

Rotting in Hell seems an archaic punishment, but I would say that I find it disconcerting to be represented by a women that would make such statements about the Vietnam imbroglio.
Funny how you didn't provide any opposing view so people could make up their minds on how to feel about it.
No, you haven't -- you've been on some irrelevant bender about "precedent." Precedent does not apply. Only facts. And yes, in my opinion, the facts fit the elements.
Precedent was just one example of a legal source I would have accepted that would codify her actions as fitting the definition of "giving aid and comfort." I would have accepted rulings, specific laws...anything but opinions. But yes, you're certainly entitled to your opinion that her actions were applicable to treason if you like. I can't imagine anyone suggesting otherwise.
But anyway, it will certainly only be a matter of time before her actions as pertaining to treason do in fact become codified and then, well, that will be that I guess.
