Didn't kerry's group, I can't remember the name of it, use people like this poor misguided lady to help bring about opposition to the Viet Nam war?

Yes. Her name was Peg Mullen. Her son was killed in Vietnam in 1971. The story was eventually made into a book and made-for-TV movie called "Friendly Fire."

Then, just as now, the Left callously exploited a mother's grief for their own political ends.

I don't think this is all by chance. I think we're looking at the very same story today that we saw played out before us so many year's ago. I think they're following the exact same script they followed back then.
