And by that I mean, those of you in Congress who read this board, those on the staffs, the DNC, the DLC, lobbyists, interest groups and all the rest. Listen carefully, because I'm only going to say this once.

I've been seeing comments here and elsewhere lately about the treatment of soldiers coming back from Iraq (particularly here).

These are saying, basically, that "it seems that this time, unlike Vietnam, it's the so-called pinko commie liberals who really care about the troops and what they have to say, and are fighting to protect their benefits and health care, etc.; while the gung-ho Republicans who are most vocal in supporting the war aren't paying any attention to real vets, disrespecting them in public, doing all they can to cut their pay and benefits, etc."

I've been wondering lately if all those stories about hippies and college kids spitting on returning vets, calling them "baby-killer" and so forth, were actually conservative myths invented by the chickenhawks of the day. (I'm in my mid-thirties and too young to remember.)

So, I thought I'd ask the Vietnam vets here. How were you treated when you came home?

On their front page, CNN has put up the results of a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll on the Schiavo case. Take a look at how they're presenting the numbers:

Looks like Democrats and non-churchgoers approve overwhelmingly of pulling the tube... until you look at the left side of the graphs. Republicans and churchgoers also approve, by a small majority; but CNN scaled the graphs specifically to exaggerate the slightly higher result for Democrats.

Will someone explain to me again how CNN is part of the liberal media?
