Non-baseball: Unfit for command
It's no secret- I dislike John Kerry. But even I'm repelled by this nasty attack ad from ' Swift Boat Veterans for Truth'.
A part of me is saying "he's the one who wants to talk about Viet Nam, so lets talk about it..." But another part of me is screaming "this is the kind of garbage that gives the party a bad name." It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and after all is said and done, the 'Swift Boat Veterans for Truth' come out looking worse than Kerry.
Even if it is true- if John Kerry has been lying about his service in Viet Nam, and his tour of duty was somewhat less than prestigious (and borderline treasonous if you talk to these guys)- it's not something that could ever be backed-up by anything other than these men's allegations. I'm just not willing to condemn John Kerry's service based on their words alone.
As far as I'm concerned, he was there. Even if it was just four months- that's more than I would have done if I were in that situation, and certainly more than can be said about President Bush.
