(1) Misleading information is not relevant.

(2) Republicans should keep talking about Kerry's Vietnam service a lot.
(1) How do you know it's misleading? Were you there? It's o.k. for some veterans to stand with Kerry and support him because they are being "patriotic", yet others in the same unit, on the same missions and who treated his injuries (including retired admirals) who disagree are liars. All right...

If I served in his unit, was concerned by his actions over there, and then 30 years later was forced to listen to him wrapping himself in the flag after calling me and my brothers in arms baby killers and war criminals, I'd be pissed off too. As the leader of the group just responded to McCain -- they paid for their right to speak in blood.

(2) I'd love to continue the public discourse on this, but Kerry's campaign and the DNC are now threatening to sue every media outlet that runs the ads from this group. Were these strongarm tactics employed by the RNC against ads run for Moore's movie or for MoveOn.org ads? I don't think so...

I may have to pick this 256 page "misleading" book up just for kicks. If I can get a copy -- it's now #1 at Amazon. At least LawTalkers will get the commission.
