    I'm not saying I agree or disagree, but some blame the way they were treated when they got back to the negative way the war was protrayed, largely by Cronkite.

    You hear that but the protesters of that time never struck me as the type who were glued to the TV for the 7 o'clock news. More likely that they were sniffing glue at that time.

    Who does Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal blame for getting "spat upon" when he "returned" from Vietnam?

    I think there was a second spitter. Back and to the left, back and to the left.

    Yeah, because the front page of the New York Times is an obscure source for news.
