I have no source other than reading it in New England newspapers back
in
1969 - 1971.


Uh, and which of Kerry's "associates" were implicated in this alleged
forgery, according to your uncorroborated 35-year-old recollection?


VVAW was doing some of that, yes. However, I have no stamps with Kerry's
DNA
on them. I might point out that the complaints former POWs have about
Kerry
are also 35 year old recollections. I guess if you want, you can say that
anything that happened that long ago did not happen. That would be your
typical liberal response: if you don't like the truth, accuse others of
lying.


I haven't accused you of lying, CJ. I just think you live in a parallel
universe where 35-year-old newspaper articles implicating "Kerry and
associates" in a forgery have somehow vanished from all the archives,
leaving your personal recollection of those articles as the sole remaining
testament. (Meanwhile, in your universe as revealed in another recent
thread, Bush had not been informed of the second WTC crash or explicitly
told "We are under attack" just before he spent seven minutes reading "My
Pet Goat". Apparently your world is so glutted with fanciful events that
there's no room left for the real ones.)

"Lying" presupposes the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. Your
blithe dismissal of the need for corroboration (which would be readily
available in this instance if your recollection were accurate) shows that
you don't even try to distinguish the truth from whatever you would like
to believe.
