Why should we judge Kerry differently than Benedict Arnold?

Arnold did much worse than that. He stole classified documents and provided the
to the enemy, and gave vital military information. That is much more serious
than "aid and comfort." Later he accepted a commission as a general officer from
an enemy nation and actively commanded British troops against Americans. By some
accounts, if Lord Howe had listened to Arnold's advice, he would not have
abandoned New York and Cornwallis would have never been trapped at Yorktown.
Play history onwards from there as you like.





Whether Kerry did the same depends on who you think the enemy was. If you
believe it was the Vietnamese, or at least some Vietnamese, then he
certainly did so.

Are you kidding? Dissent against a group of US politicians, by a US citizen,
isn't even a crime much less treason. Dissent is the right (and possibly the
duty) of every US citizen.

If anybody thinks that Kerry has committed treason then they should move to one
of the dictatorships, there are several to chose from. They should not attempt
to live in & understand a free country.

But then, to trump up Kerry as another Benedict Arnold is the same type of
action, for the same reasons, from the same people who spent 60 million of our
tax dollars trying to prosecute for a blow job.
