You are quite correct. The other day, I was speaking with a woman who made the statement that she met John Kerry, thought he was brillant, and would make a great President. Not wanting to cause animosity in the work place, I mentioned one of the things that bothered me about Kerry was him calling Viet Nam vets war criminals and baby killers, ending with I have two brothers who served in Nam and they're not baby killers. Instead of coming back with some kind of rational argument, she states that people came back from that war with different viewpoints. And then she suddenly had to go to a meeting.

I was truly irked then. It seems that way all the time with libs - they make some idiotic statement and then will not stick around to defend the statement. And this from a woman with two degrees!

"Instead of coming back with some kind of rational argument, she states that people came back from that war with different viewpoints."

*nod* This is a very frequently used liberal line of defense. Often used when you call them on their moral equivalence, or when they are running from confrontation. Of course, since it's a truism, it doesn't really -answer- anything.

My response would have been - "If he walked away from the war with that kind of twisted viewpoint about our military, I don't think he's the right guy to be running it."
