Quit lying about Kerry. He never worked with Fonda and never criticized the troops about anything. He criticized the entire war and how horrific it had become by 1971. And he was right. So you should commend him for it. Now the Bushies are commending the hero who exposed the atrocities in Iraq. The Bushies are doing it. They are pointing to that guy as an example of what a good soldier is. Yet on the other hand they have liars like you claiming that Kerry slandered troops. Shame on you. Guess what, there were HUGE atrocities in Vietnam, thousands of them that were being covered up, and by 1971 the war was completely out of control and horrific. Kerry did the right thing calling attention to the horrors and how wrong it had all gone. He has also apologized if his words hurt anyone's feeling. But who cares about feelings when thousands of lvies were at stake? Quit attacking our bravest war heros and defending chickenhawk draft-dodgers who lie on a daily basis. Now let's get back to real issues. No one cares about the rightwing slander anymore. We've heard it too many times, it's un-patriotic and inaccurate.

Here is Kerry's 1971 testimony before congress. Read it in full and tell me where Kerry slandered anyone. Tell me also that he did not love his fellow soldiers. The testimony was a very painful and powerful one, brought people to tears and exposed the truth about Vietnam, that it had turned into a monster, and had turned many of our troops into monsters too. But Kerry was not condemning those troops. He felt deeply for the the men he fought beside and knew it was not their fault but the war's itself, and those who'd mis-planned the war and lied about it. In fact his own boat-mate machine-gunned some innocent people. So he saw it first-hand, what it had become. And he told us the painful truth. nationalreview.com
