Kerry's foes are hung up on the core of who Jean Faux Kerry is - a leftist who hates US sovreignty.

Republicans have been busy running down John Kerry, his Vietnam service and his subsequent anti-war work particularly.

As soon as I read a sentence like that with that phrase "running down" instead of "illuminating", "analyzing" or "taking a closer look at" I stop. Big Media sucks!

Big Media is the most ruthless and dangerous enemy of this nation. Never forget and try to counter their continual lies.

In this one way his critics are right: Kerry has made his military service a centerpiece of his campaign. He should have made both kinds of service -- for the war and against the war -- its center.

Or, he could have made his legislative career his primary qualification....why do you think he didn't? Because, depite twenty years, he has barely even HAD a legislative career?

Kerry's old accusations are artifacts of their time. When taken out of the heated context of that war, their meaning is distorted.

In a way, Kerry's remarks are like the Constitution. They can only be interpreted correctly if they are filtered through the liberal elites. On the other hand, the Kerry remarks are only meaningful when taken in historical context, whereas the Constitution's original meaning must never be considered or even brought up.

I guess whichever Kerry suck-butt that wrote this forgot that it was Kerry who brought up his war antics.

"Now the aging and raging veterans supporting Bush are taking umbrage at charges never aimed at them. Their rancor has only increased with time."

John A Bulpit died April 28,1966 in Viet Nam while VOLUNTEERING to ride shotgun on an ammo truck.

You bet your a.. I take ubbrage at Kerry's charges that cast dispersions on ALL Viet Nam Soldiers. Unfortunately Jackie never got the chance to become an"aging and raging vet"

Let's take a moveon.org approach to see if he'll understand the point: Kerry lied, soldiers died.

"But we didn't -- and there's the rub. It is Kerry's post-Vietnam anti-war statements made in the early 1970s that so upset his opponents. Kerry's old accusations are artifacts of their time. When taken out of the heated context of that war, their meaning is distorted. Back then, his listeners could discriminate. Now the aging and raging veterans supporting Bush are taking umbrage at charges never aimed at them. Their rancor has only increased with time. [snip]

So far the MSM and Kerry have erroneously labeled the Swifties as Republican surrogates, liars and envious psychopaths. Now, the new defense will be that they are psychotically and mistakenly angry about Kerry's antiwar comments after he returned. Always, always Kerry avoids any discussion of the the facts and remains steadfast in seeing the Swifter's as liars, Republicans or sick with anger. Watch the MSM media take up the "sick with anger Kerry defense."

Given the Kerry critics' version of what went on in Vietnam, there were only sad teenagers in loincloths to worry about.

Of all the idiotic, sophomoric lines in this pile of bits column, this one takes the award for most idiotic. Is O'Rourke on drugs?

Whom were Kerry's charges aimed at then?

Speaking only for myself, anti-war statements never upset me that much. I have always supported the right of The People to engage in legitimate protest.
I did not, and I do not now condone sedition and treason. Hanoi John crossed a well defined line, and in my opinion his actions were even more despicable than those of Hanoi Jane - he was still an officer in the United States navy when he showed himself to be a despicable, self aggrandizing, lying backstabbing seditious traitor.

"It is Kerry's post-Vietnam anti-war statements made in the early 1970s that so upset his opponents."

Does this chuckle-head know that the Vietnam war went on well past Kerry's traitorous and slanderous remarks in 1971?

The fact that he was a abject slanderer and U.S. traitor is what is making Kerry's life so rough these 33 years later. These remarks, and his questionable service record, are what makes him unfit for command.

The Chicago Sun Times = just another media whore for Kerry/Soros '04'.

Kerry is proud that, upon his return from Vietnam, he eagerly believed anyone who said Americans had done evil things without any effort to verify their stories or even verify those making allegations were who they claimed to be. Virtually every "newsroom" in America believes this will make him a great president.

In the eyes of the left, the protesters were more important than the veterans and the casualties of VietNam.

This is the continued re-writing of history to frame the 60's generation as noble, and great even though they accomplished nothing and became the greediest, most self-centered group in our nation's history.
