You know, we don't have to buy every detail of the charges flung at John Kerry's tender carcass by the swift boat sailors he accuses of smearing him.Look around. It wasn't some malicious GOP marketing firm that started this set-to over what Sen. Kerry did or didn't do in Vietnam. No, this thing began much earlier, and the lad responsible is John Kerry, who, concerning Vietnam, wants it both ways. He seeks to strut around as war hero without reference to events in his wartime past that some fellow citizens find, shall we say, unheroic.
Nobody, presumably, twisted John's arm when, in a gruesome performance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971, he depicted the American war effort in Vietnam as one long series of rapes and murders.

Well, as time is accounted, it was some time ago, and forgiveness never comes amiss, except that Young John, now become Old John, seems never to have felt the need to apologize for trash carelessly strewed in public When he talks of Vietnam (pretty much all the time), it is to impress voters with leadership abilities. This would be entirely fair, were it not that Old John wants his countrymen to look at only one side of that record, the side that he – who else? – puts before us.
That's not quite how these things work. An interesting constitutional feature known as the First Amendment confers on John's countrymen the right to put forth another view of his Vietnam record.

Fret not, gentle writer. John Kerry's debts are being settled. In full. With interest and late fees.

---Shame on the age and on its principles! The senate is aware of these things; the consul sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives! aye, he comes even into the senate. He takes a part in the public deliberations; he is watching and marking down and checking off for slaughter every individual among us. And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.---

FWIW, I downloaded the second commercial, "Sellout," from the swifties website as a mpg file. Then I used IrfanView (available here for free) to create an exe file from the mpg file. The exe file can be burned to CD and will play on any PC without any supporting software.

He is. He is losing the election.
