I thought that some of these veterans were the same men in the photograph that Kerry used on his own web site to illustrate his service record. So what now? "They were my band of brothers before they weren't"? It occurred to me today how revolting it is that Kerry thinks a vulgar Whoopi Goldberg is "the heart and soul of America," yet sends his legal "goons" (to use a word Kerry knows) to intimidate and insult these veterans. I don't understand... if we can't criticize Kerry, because he's a veteran, then why does the media think it is okay to insult these men, who are veterans as well (and many, I suspect, of longer service than Kerry)? As for this continued complaint that the Swift Boat vets are "politically motivated"... when it comes to politics, Kerry has a lot more to gain than they do! They aren't running for anything, they are putting their reputations and peace of mind on the line... for what? Not for their own personal gain, like Kerry. After all, Kerry is only bringing up his Vietnam service record to help himself politically. The hypocrisy is astounding... the Swift Boat vets can't be trusted because they have "political motivations," but Kerry is immune to political motivations? His whole life is organized around political gain!
Good post
I'm impressed with your thought process and explanation. I share your frustrations and assessments with this slimy opportunist and his minions. Keep the gears turning.
