The two versions need to be Freeped - give the truth (#1) a thumbs up and the lie (#2) a thumbs down.
The lie (version 2, obviously) is at 9 thumbs up, 30 thumnbs down.
The truth is at 16 thumbs up, 0 thumbs down.

Sorry, Kerry was not popular with anybody even before the swiftboating started. The campaign slogan "Just hold your nose and vote for Kerry" began well before that.
And the Swiftboat Vets for Truth donation was just about the best $20 I ever spent.
