<snip>
The event was marked by a few confrontations, some angry, between supporters of Kerry and President Bush. About a dozen Bush supporters gathered along Museum Place, gradually walking along roped off areas on either side of the park. A couple eventually carried their signs into the rally area, leading to verbal confrontations. Some obscenities were thrown back and forth in one case, but the protesters were allowed to stay, although Kerry supporters stood in front of most of them and held their own signs.

"There are some things that are beyond politics, and one of them is service to your country in time of war," he told about 150 supporters.

"We have a saying in Georgia - if you're throwing dirt, you're losing ground."

Cleland compared the attacks on Kerry to attacks on him when he was defeated for another term in the Senate from Georgia in 2002 and attacks on John McCain in the presidential race in 2000. Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, has also served as head of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

1. since bush* has no "military" record of his own

and what military service he did have is questioned -- his only resort is to tear down, smear and discredit the military service of anyone that opposes him

we can see that this is continued in the other ads regarding national issues -- bush* has no record of significant acheivements, just a trail of miserable failures therefore he has to spit on opponents. the political winds have turned - and bush* hasn't learned NEVER SPIT INTO THE WIND

it's all coming back to bite him in the a$$

2. People are so stupid.

I still can't believe how stupid people are.
Kerry is a war hero, Bush has never been to war.
Yet some idiots still can be convinced by some ridiculous commercial full of lies that Kerry didn't deserve his medal.
Cleland lost three limbs in a war. Who could be more heroic than that?
But yet he wasn't reelected because some idiots were convinced he is not heroic enough.
Some people are too stupid to live, let alone vote.
