Reply #29: He did

The tone of this is very similar to his comments to the Firefighters- billed as his response. The MSM gave the comments very little coverage while they gave the SBVT hours without asking for any proof on charges that contradicted the official record.

Before April the media had - his Navy records with all the fitness reports - all glowing. The NAVY gave him the medals. Nixon had investigated him - and feared him because he found he was a war hero, articulate and polite. Brinkley, who wrote Tour of Duty was an academic historian and he gave Kerry no editorial control - and the book backed him 100%. They also had the info that all the guys on teh boat for those medals were 100% behind Kerry - as was Rasman, the marine Kerry saved who became a Republican policeman.

Within a day of the August attack, this was suplemented by a 36 page report of provable lies and discrepancies and the facts linking them to Bush.

This is FAR FAR more than what Clinton gave on Genefer Flowers or the draft question.

Rather than blaming Kerry - blame those Democratic leaders that did not act as Kerry did here. They stood and defended Clinton's infidelity, but couldn't defend a man who risked his life for someone else at 25?

Or blame the media for what was a character assassination that to a lesser degree continues till today.
