Re: "He was a traitor who manifested his treason by spying. Kerry is a traitor who manifests his treason by demoralizing our troops."

>>> Er... what Nazi dreamscape did you escape from?

>>> 'Demoralizing' people is certainly NOT the definition of 'treason'.

>>> And - one thinks - he is just as likely to be able to find American troops would could say that they had been 'inspired' by his military history, as to be able to find those who would say the opposite (and, you'll note that he does have the endorsement of some vets.)

>>> That's the wonderful thing about living in a Democracy (you should try it sometime), people can generally say what they please without being hauled of for torture in jail on trumped-up 'treason' charges.

>>> Further, I'm even willing to give a little more latitude for speech on military affairs to anyone who has actually served in same.

>>> And, we mostly overturn our governments at the ballot box! Calling for the downfall of an elected politician is not even close to 'treason'... unless you are a Soviet, a Nazi, or a Saddamite!

>>> Are you?

Dear Bill: Is it True, Kerry's IDOL is our very first War Hero, traitor, Benedict Arnold? He also MARRIED WELL to a BRITISH girl and wanted to weazel into the British aristocracy and almost made it by ATTEMPTING to turn over a fort to the British. You know what happened to him? He died in Britian SHUNNED BY AMERICANS AND BRITISH. No one likes a TRAITOR, even the side that benefits. jdn
