The discussion then went to Kerry's military service record, in which, one of the vets in our group (who grew up in a very Democrat family, and has voted on both sides for president over his life) proceeded to go into great detail about how he got his purple hearts. I was amazed with the detail that he knew about the story. Our liberal friend was still absolutely defensive, but near tears, over this. I've had many political discussions with this liberal guy, over my lifetime, but I've never seen him react this way.
I could tell the left on the media was apoplectic, but this did surprise me.
