I think the DUmmies may be onto something here.
Jonah Goldberg put up a link at National Review that states basically the same thing.
Whether or not the photo was a set-up is not the real issue. I understand certain partison political operatives are claiming the photo was staged, but no one has come forward to challenge the thrust of the story. John Kerry should have to answer the serious questions the photo raises. Remember, there is no definitive proof the scene was set-up. Perhaps the son was just reenacting what he had witnessed another union member do, so his conduct was accurate. Why are we focusing on the identities of the people instead of the photos content? All this talk about set-up is just a distraction.
