If I provide you with a link will you either: 1) support John Kerry or 2) condemn the SmearVets? If not, why should I bother?

OK, I'll be generous. Here is Thurlow talking about Kerry's secret plan: THURLOW: Because he had this master plan that was... MATTHEWS: You got—give me an example. THURLOW: ... to promote his... MATTHEWS: OK, let‘s to go your theory of the plan. Have you seen it written down? Have you heard him tell his account to someone? How do you know, in any real way, he had this plan? THURLOW: Because of the fact that he engineered three Purple Heart incidences that allowed him to go home after he spent about one third of his tour there. MATTHEWS: But that‘s your account of what happened. He was there for four months. THURLOW: That‘s exactly right. MATTHEWS: He did win the three Purple Hearts. He did get the Bronze and the Silver. And you say he had some plan to get an award as a battle hero ahead of time, but you can‘t tell me how you know he had this plan. THURLOW: I know he had this plan because of what happened not only then but after the fact. MATTHEWS: Did you have a plan to win the Bronze Star? You won the Bronze Star. Did you have a plan? THURLOW: No, in fact, I didn‘t... MATTHEWS: Why is winning the Bronze Star... THURLOW: I didn‘t apply for it. MATTHEWS: Why is winning the Bronze Star evidence of having had a plan to win one? I don‘t get it. THURLOW: Well, I—we‘re not even talking about him having a plan to win the Bronze Star. MATTHEWS: Can you honestly tell me now, sir, that you could swear in open court that you know that John Kerry, when he was a lieutenant JG in the same theater you were in had some plan for winning medals? Do you know that for a fact? THURLOW: OK. In other words, present evidence that he had this plan? MATTHEWS: Yes. THURLOW: Of course, I couldn‘t. msnbc.msn.com
