...JOHN KERRY came back from the Vietnam War to lead Anti-U.S./War Protestors in the 1960's and 1970's just as verilant as those you see today.

...When JOHN KERRY spoke at the Veterans Day Ceremony at the Vietnam Wall last year some informed Vietnam Veterans turned their back on him just like they did when Anti-U.S./War Protestor BILL CLINTON did when he was President.

Anti-U.S. during the Vietnam War =

Anti-U.S. now.

I am kinda curious how you are defining anti-U.S. Has he come out and said the Constitution is crap and should be overturned? Has he openly advocated for the violent overthrow of the US government? Or did he criticize the policies of a government (initiated by a Democratic one, I might add) to which he did serve although did not fully believe in the cause (as was said later, many brave Americans went over there and fought without truly believing that it was the right thing).

I think we need to be careful with throwing around the 'anti-American' label. We come off looking like we are trying to say that "either you agree with us 100% or you are anti-American"..and I can see by the posts here that not everyone exactly agrees with anyone else - and that is exactly how this country is suppossed to be (although some people are just wrong, they still aren't anti-American).

I can understand saying Mr. Kerry is wrong on the issues, but anti-American? That seems a large stretch..
