It's a very amusing situation.

Bush has been attacked by these Democrat 527s for months. A good chuck
of their funding comes from wacky billionaire George Soros, who, no
doubt, would like to see a more "European" America.

Now, along comes these swift boat vets with relatively poor funding
and the Democrats are calling foul!

They say there's a connexion between them and the Bush campaign.

But never mind the fact that at the Democratic National Convention
most, if not all these Democrat 527s, were present/hosting hospitality
suites etc. And that the heads of some of these Democrat 527 have
prior affiliations with Kerry ....

Now, along comes Max Cleland saying that 1) Bush should stop the
Swift Boats (but if you don't have any control how can you stop,
and whatever happened to the 1st Amendment?) and 2) that the
swifties dishonor vets by dissing Kerry's service!

Max and his fellow petitioners have their heads up their collective
asses.

John Kerry came back from Vietnam and repudiated whatever honors
he earned when he made the (in)famous medal toss and made numerous
public statements characterizing US troops in Vietnam as
war criminals etc.

The swift boat 537 clearly don't think much of John Kerry. Why?
Because he did the above, he dishonored himself and his fellows.

But, according to Cleland, by making an issue out of Kerry's
Vietnan service and post-Vietnam activities as related to Vietnam,
all vets are being dishonored! (Never mind the 1st Amendment, the
thing that let Kerry make all those charges in the first place.)

In other words, Kerry was right about the war crimes etc. One can only
conclude, then, that according to Cleland and his fellows being
a war criminal isn't dishonorable.

In short, Cleland and crew would find people like Hitler, Saddam Hussein
et alia satisfactory candidates for public office. Well, like I said
they've clearly got their heads up their asses.
