How could the Democrats nominate this guy?

Kerry smeared a hero: my dad

I don't blame Kerry for my father's death, and I don't much care if he shamelessly chased after medals. But I do care that when he returned from Vietnam he gave aid and comfort to the enemy while our soldiers were still dying. I care that he smeared my father and a generation of our armed forces with false charges of war crimes while posing himself as a hero. I care that Kerry's false charges encouraged our enemy who was pressuring our POWs in inhumane ways to confess to imaginary war crimes. I care that he went to Paris to meet with the Viet Cong in 1970 while still an officer in the Navy Reserve, returning to publicly advocate for their position and against America's position.

This isn't about politics. It's about honor and betrayal and protecting our country. And for me it is deeply personal, as it is for countless vets. Thirty-nine years later, my mother still cries on Nov 14. Thirty-nine years later, we miss my father every day. Thirty-nine years later, Kerry poses as a hero. As children of Vietnam veterans, many of us feel an unwelcome emotional strain as the arguments about what really happened in Vietnam are tugged back and forth, often by people who were not there. We deeply resent the suggestion that our fathers were war criminals as that theme inevitably seeps into the argument.

Every time I read a column like this, or read about another charged leveled by the SwiftVets about Kerry, or watch yet another content-free Kerry speech, it makes me wonder--How could the Dems nominate this guy? How could they think that his being a veteran would somehow immunize him from his anti-war activities? Didn't anyone in the Democratic party ask, "Gee, I wonder what people who aren't liberal Democrats think of the guy?" It is almost as if Bill and Hillary wanted Kerry to lose.

Oops. Nevermind. I think I answered my own question.
