I interacted with the guy over the years, and as big a jerk as everyone thinks he is—he is much much worse.
My view, fwiw, is that he was a CIA agent during the Vietnam era and his “Vietnam Veterans against the War” group was a honeypot.

CIA agent? LOL. Read Unfit for Command by John O’Neil and Jerome Corsi. I served in Vietnam. Kerry was a traitor who disparaged Americans as war criminals. Was Jane Fonda also a CIA agent?
