Humm, that is an interesting take. Who else would be attacking Kerry, if
not the right?

Those that wanted to set the record straight about what Kerry was saying
about their service.

And to say it isn't political, is, wellll...

...accurate.

Ludicrous. They waited until an election season to bring it up.

Again, look at the time line. Kerry was who "bought it up." He pretty much made
his Vietnam exploits his primary qualification for becoming President. He
didn't want to talk about his record in the Senate, as a politician, as
Dukakis's lieutenant governor, his political record, etc. He wanted to talk
about his claims of Vietnam, since he did spend four (4) months in the theatre.
Upon hearing his claims, others who had been there wished to tell their side of
the story.




I'm sure you have plenty of examples of the left attacking Kerry's military
record, sending around faked photos of him sitting next to Fonda, etc.

Don't stereotype "the right" or "the left" as if one looney move by one
individual represents an entire class.
