John Kerry has found a tough crowd among vets in ohio. During a campaign stop in ohio, before a VFW convention, attended by over 10,000 veterans, ( A better draw than most VAN HAGAR shows.) Kerry received a cool reception.
At the end of each of his DUDLEY DO RIGHT-like " I'll save you!" speeches, most of the vets remained quietly seated while about 40% of them applauded. During each of his " I have 3 purple hearts!" speeches many vets, unimpressed, read news papers. From time to time you could hear someone yell out "liar" or "traitor". Even worse, some of the vets chose to stand with their backs to him during the entire speech.
Confused, a local reporter asked some of the vets exiting after the event why they were standing with their backs to Kerry. They replied,
"He turned his back on us in vietnam, and now we're turning ours on him."
