Yeah, lets come down on the poor dad.
He made the mistake of thinking that we live in a free country, where we all can state our views without fear of reprisal and violence. He obviously was naive to some extent, and didn't know how the Kerry machine operates. Children are not exempt from their hatred and venom.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not making excuses for thuggee behavior.
I'm perhaps more of a realist than you - I feel responsible for the welfare of my family members, and I don't take them where I can't guarantee it.
It's a guy thing, Lisa.
