This article is a prime example of the Liberal mindset, They have no principles, it's what ever the flavor of the day is. They believe that no one should be held responsible for their actions, unless there is a chance to further the Socialist Utopian Society they dream about, then they get the long knives out.
John Kerry was not just a dissident, he testified about atrocities he never saw, he smeared his brothers in arms while they were still fighting in the jungles of Vietnam. He betrayed them at the least, and came very close to committing Treason.
Benedict Arnold was a "Gallant Warrior" at one time as well
Much more of one, tha Kerry ever was.
