No the whole problem is that she denegrates Cleland and his service. She pretty much implies it was HIS stupid mistake and that he allowed one of HIS grenades to fall. And then she says that he is falsly applying the hero status to himself. First, he does not call himself a hero. Those who know him and know what he has done correctly apply that moniker to him. What he did was heroic because he volunteered for a dangerous combat mission which he unfortunately didn't make it too. And his actions quite possible saved serveral servicemens lives.
This information is easily available and has been available for years. Ann Coulter touts her ability to use Lexis Nexis yet was unable to find these simple truths? No, she is outright slandering a fine american. She knows what happened and she knows what regard Cleland has in the Veterans community. She just takes GREAT pleasure in destroying innocent, good men.
If anyone deserves the succubus moniker, Ann does.
Cleland doesn't try to hide his record. Kerry had a passing association with Jane, a woman who has since apologized over and over for what she calls a deception. Kerry's organizational association is well known and he still rates high among veterans. What he was doing in that group is trying to end a war they were suffering in. Nothing to denegrate there for a Veteran.
For Jane, her only goal was to try and end the war, not see americans suffer. She was used and duped.
I'm not trying to say what she did was ok, but she didn't do what she did with any kind of negative intents for americans.
