and again my poiint is - the solution is to become like the Democrats? Attack his post war record - what he did after his service when he was his own man and not wearing Uncle Sam's uniform.
But if we don't challenge his OBVIOUS lies, we're giving him a pass just like the media. Then he can continue to attack Bush from the exalted throne of "Vietnam War Veteran" and scream that we're "attacking his patriotism" every time anybody criticizes any of his "post war record". That's what he's done so far, anyway.
I'm not criticizing his service (even though I think he was a s***bird who did as little as possible and got out of harm's way as quickly as he could). I'm criticizing his manipulating and lying about his record (not to mention his creepy insistence on reliving it at every opportunity. That's just not normal. My dad didn't talk about his real combat in WWII until just recently. BTW, he was wounded by shrapnel but didn't accept a PH because so many of his buddies were hurt so much worse.)
