I remember some of the attacks on Kerry, but not the others.


But do you remember any by "the right"? I remember the Swift Boat
Veterans for Truth, but they weren't a right wing group, their message
wasn't political at all.

Ah, right. Just happened to organize and go public during an election year,
specifically for the purpose of discrediting, gee, a presidential candidate.

Yeah, uh, nothing "political at all." Yeesh.

Umm, sorry to remind you, but it was John F. Kerry who decided to make Vietnam
an issue and brag about his service during his four months there. Many others
who were there during that time wished to tell their side of the story he was
publicizing on the national stage.

He bragged about his service? Really? I must have missed that.

Sure must have missed 2004. "I am John Kerry , reporting for duty" and then he
proceeded to talk about Vietnam. The usual media partners of his party (NY Times,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, LA Times, Boston Globe, etc) were very fond of
pointing it out too, so it was hard to miss.




Many others were there? Where would that be -- Vietnam?

I referenced Vietnam above.



Their side of what story?

The claims that Kerry was making in 2004.

(Kerry certainly had nothing else to talk
about, despite his 20 years as a US senator without really doing much at all
and not bothering to show up for many votes and Intelligence Committee
meetings). In 2004, a bill to extend unemployment benefits failed because of
one vote. Kerry didn't even bother to show up. What a great job of
representing his constituents.
