I to am concerned that Clark would say such things about McCain, who served with great honor. I am happy to see the uproar here.

However, I am surprised that there was not a similar uproar when John Kerry, who also served honorably, was attacked and lied about by the swift boaters.

I can’t believe you would all have a double standard?

I can't believe you signed on just to say that!

I bet you’re really “concerned” about that.

The difference is that the Swift Boat veterans didn’t lie.

Kerry’s service wasn’t particularly distinguished, since rice grains in the buttcheek don’t usually make you eligible for Purple Hearts(self-inflicted wound, by the way), and Kerry used that in order to get himself out of service he volunteered for(breaking his word). Then, once he was home, he dishonored the service of every man who served in VN(one of whom was my late father) by participating in the Winter Soldier farce and by his unapproved meeting with the enemy in Paris, while still being in the military. Not to mention supposedly chucking the aforementioned medals over the fence. His conduct after his rather short combat service was despicable, as has been his political career since. His speeches about his service have been a tapestry of lies (”Seared, seared into my memory”)revealed largely by those Swift Boat Veterans whom you decry. They have done this country a great service.

That’s right, and did you know that President Nixon ordered Lt. John F’n Kerry and his gun boat on a secret mission running CIA operatives to Cambodia on Christmas Eve of ‘68? Said so himself. Gotta be true.

Lots of questions about your post. What’s the matter, does the cat have your tongue?

Traitor Kerry denigrated his service himself and trashed other Vietnam Veterans to Congress after returning from Vietnam. Kerry trashed Vietnam Veterans and they remembered on election day. It is that simple.
