re: #206 wrenchwench

Mr. w helped organize the 1971 March on Washington. He was in the VVAW. The stupidity of the position that ‘no vet was ever spat upon’, is that if a vet WAS spat upon, it doesn’t mean anything bad about the anti-war movement at the time. They seem to be defending something that needs no defense.

The bra-burning denail is similar. I’m not sure what the denialists are trying to do in that case. It wasn’t common, but I saw it on the news at the time, and you can find photos on the internet of burning bras being dropped into a trash can.

I once got into a discussion with a Wingnut who is a Vietnam Vet, whose own story about being ‘spat on by liberals’ turned out to be some drunken biker chick in a bar who wanted to use the pool table.

I’m not sure how he determined her political views.
