I saw Dennis Miller on Jay Leno's show, saying that he wouldn't vote for Kerry, but he wouldn't say anything negative about anybody who had put on the uniform and served under fire. He said he thought the way returning Vietnam vets were treated was one of the greatest shames in American history, so he won't go after Kerry on his war record, even though he certainly doesn't want him to be president. I may disagree with him on what should be fair game politically, but his reasoning sounds to me like he's just erring on the side of being too respectful of veterans, which is hardly a liberal trait.

You state that Miller thought the way the Nam vets were treated when they got home was a disgrace. True. It was. But it was people like Kerry accusing our men over there of committing atrocities that caused the mistreatment in the first place. If Kerry didn't go before the nation and call our soldiers murderers maybe the feelings towards them would have been different. It's called incitement. Just like when Sharpton incited a black neighborhood to burn down jewish owned businesses in NY. Kerry incited the hatred wrought upon our soldiers.
