: Which beats the hell out of giving aid and comfort to the enemy
: like Hanoi Bob. The fact that Macarthy was right about Communists
: in the State Department never seems to appear in these discussions.
: Kerry's campaign song ought to be something entitled "Commie Chameleon"
: a rework of that Boy George thingie err... thingie.

Tailgunner Joe was rather like the Southern sherrif who actually
accidentally lynched a few criminals during a career of lynching blacks.
Not that Joe was always wrong. Take for example his declaiming the
US military for using "Gestapo Tactics" and resigning in protest from
a committee investigation -- protesting US "tribunals" used by the military
to convict accused German war criminals tried at Dachau. He thought that the
US was committing a grave injustice in the methods it used to try, among
others, those accused of the Malmedy massacres.
I guess since Germany had been defeated it was no longer giving aid
and comfort to the "enemy"? ;-)
