But that doesn't answer the why? The Right is trying so desperately to make Vietnam some glorious campaign screwed over by crying liberals at home, yet the loudest are dodgers themselves.
I would think the Right would stay away from any similarity and not remind people of Vietnam at all. Instead of glorifying it and trying to badmouth a war hero who did fight over there.
Listening to Limbaugh today (Roger Hedgecock filled in) and there was a Vietnam Vet who argued that while he didn't see what Kerry saw, the vet believed Kerry had the right to say whatever he wanted when he got home because Kerry had fought for that right. When you think of what the Right says about patriotism and guarding the Constitutional rights we enjoy, how they can argue against that is hypocritical. Yet, they do.
I have a feeling the more the right shoves this issue the more people will see the hypocrisy of what they say.
