Given that Robert Kennedy was killed in 1968, and Kerry was still in Viet Nam in 1969, I doubt Kennedy specifically meant Kerry.

R. Kennedy meant ALL antiwar demonstrators. He may not have known it would include Kerry at the time of the comment he made that I referenced, but he was clear in who he included.

Kerry fit into the definition Kennedy gave, whether he was even alive at the time or not.
Do you think if he had known Kerry was an antiwar, pro-communist demonstrator he would have changed his words?

Americans who commit treason nowadays are guilty by words given long before they were born. Does the definition not apply? I think this is one of the things liberals today attempt to do today; create situational ethics. Anything is right or wrong, only depending on the situation and circumstance. In their view, treason only applies to whom they choose.

Kennedy outlined the mold Kerry fit into, period. Kerry gave aid, comfort and encouragement to Ho Chi Minh, by a Kennedy's own words.

Let fat Ted suck on that for a while.
