Don’t question Kerry’s service!
How many times have we heard that one from Kerry and his supporters. Yet, in a flip flop, Kerry now has lashed out at Bush and Cheney’s lack of service:
I will not have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have and who misled America into Iraq
And then there is this quote:
For the past week, they attacked my patriotism and my fitness to serve as commander in chief
At the convention, they did attack your fitness to serve as commander in chief. However, the first bit is pretty much a lie. Kerry has exaggerated (or made up) the claim that they attacked his patriotism at the convention. When you exaggerate your opponents’ arguments, they are easy to refute.

So, the allegations made by Bush, Miller and the Swifties are all OK, since they did serve?

As I’ve said before, Kerry is intentionally confusing the issue by claiming they attacked his patriotism instead of his fitness for command as he is completely unable to defend the latter.

I dunno, it seemed to me like Miller, at the very least, attacked Kerry’s patriotism.

But kerry was responding to Bush. And miller does have a D after his name.
