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.

I don't know that it's misleading, but I tend to believe that what Kerry and McCain are saying is the truth, and to dismiss the attacks on him as partisan hackery. Maybe that's wrong. If so, odd that it took Kerry running for President to piss these people off.

(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.

Go nuts. I suspect that the Perkins Coie letter is an effort to frame the debate, and that no one will sue (and for that matter that the suit against FOX by Moveon is frivolous), but maybe I'm wrong about this.
I'm waiting for Slave to complain about how all y'all keep talking about Kerry and Vietnam. Apparently it irritates him when Kerry points out that he was there, but not so much when conservatives want to dwell on it.
