To be fair, he didn't call our troops terrorists. He said that our troops were terrorizing people in their homes by going in and doing home searches.
Our police do this all the time.
But, to be absolutely fair, John Kerry is mischaracterizing the home invasions by calling it terrorizing. Yes, it is scary - but it isn't anywhere near the level of terror produced by the terrorists when they drive through markets opening fire on innocent crowds, or blowing up cars in crowds of children.
So, he didn't exactly call our troops terrorists, but he came damned close to implying it.
The man is a disgraceful human being. He is deliberately undermining the United States.
Why is he being quoted? He lost!
