Let's all remember the smearvet campaign against Kerry.
That was the grossest dirty trick campaign we have ever seen in US political history. There was almost nothing they said which was in any way true. To believe those bozos, one would have to re-invent history and turn the Vietnam War into some kind of noble patriotic defense of the US homeland. It was just the opposite. And Kerry was right about it.

Despite Kerry's righteous opposition to the war after he came home from combat, he was a stellar war hero in combat. Every medal he got was well-deserved, and the rightwing really has a nerve claiming any different. Talk about insulting our troops. The rightwing would have us question every medal ever given to any war hero. They would have us call the US Navy liars and frauds. They would also have us believe that killing enemy in war is murder. Meanwhile, not a single major rightwing leader has ever served in combat. So who are they to smear our war heros?

And if you're a Republican, also remember Bush-Rove similar but smaller smear campaign against McCain in 2000. They called him a coward, traitor, sicko, black whore monger and insane, everything but homosexual. Just like with Kerry, none of it was true. Not a single iota. But they said it anyway.
