Like, you know, maybe set up some categories, like "endorse wholeheartedly", "endorse but criticize", "criticize and don't endorse". Lying about Hillary would be an "endorse wholeheartedly" for all the Rs, while something like "Swiftboating Kerry" would be an "endorse wholeheartedly" only when done by surrogates and an "endorse but criticize" when done by the Bushes.
"Criticize Paul Ryan", of course, would be the only "criticize and don't endorse" I've spotted so far as far as the Republican leadership is concerned.

Kerry held his service up, so attacking it was not wrong per se. The attacks may have been based upon inaccurate information (or not), but if wrong they were only wrong for being contrived. The same with attacking the Hil.
Attacking the mother of a fallen soldier though, that takes you out by Westboro Baptist territory. The closest political equivalent I can think of is Rush attacking Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign by saying she was overweight. First, she wasn't, but second even if she was, how could the party of "family values" attack the build of a woman with two youngish children? It's just a sickening thing to hear.
