My source for this story was Viet Nam Veterans Against John Kerry. I read about it in 2004. I also seem to remember reading about it earlier on Newsmax.com, back when I read Newsmax. I think they used a former North Vietnamese Colonel as a source for some of the information.
Oh yeah, I believe the Bush campaign used this against McCain in South Carolina in 1999. They’re probably just anti-conservative communists.
Seriously, some of the people around here are just as deluded in their way as the whackos that infest DU.
