History - 1, Revisionists - 0

UPDATE: A vet who experienced this "rumored" leftwingnut BS during Vietnam responds in the comments.

Remember the wanker who tried to pretend that nobody spat upon vets in the Vietnam War, and that no vets of today were spat upon by anti-war activists?

"Sociologist" Jerry Lembcke claims that those stories were just rumors and the stuff of warmonger fantasy. He claims that they vets were lying, as well as the journalists who saw and reported it firsthand. Gee -glad we cleared that mystery up!

Jim Lindgren notes that Lembcke apparently never opened a vicious rightwing theocon paper of the day like the NYT, WaPo, etc., during the course of his "research." Facts and history are stubborn things when it comes to forming leftwing ubernarratives, and so they must be eliminated.

Jerry Lembcke - I award you no points, and may G-d have mercy on your soul.
