All these people can do is sling mud at their political opponents. If the truth bears Kerry out, why doesn’t his spokesman just speak it? The fact is, Kerry is on videotape smearing his fellow Vietnam veterans while the war was still going on. He can’t duck or lie about that, much as he’d like to.
Those weren’t “lies” per se, they were the incorrect “exagerations” of an “angry young man” (who served the Communist enemy cause by engaging in such a treasonous smear).
