First I heard of it. Nice way to treat someone who is there to take a bullet for you if called upon.

"Nice way to treat someone who is there to take a bullet for you if called upon."
THIS is the stuff that destroys candidates. You can win an election on policy differences... but far more voters are swayed by simply not liking/trusting a candidate. This is especially bad for a challenger, since they are more unknown than incumbents.
Cursing out some poor guy who is putting his life on the line for you is exactly the kind of snobbery that will bring Kerry down.
