Further expanded just for walley

"But for the Republicans, cutting off Kerry's potential base among
veterans is as vital as deflecting questions about Bush's military
record. From obscure Web sites to Rush Limbaugh to the Weekly Standard,
the right-wing media are eagerly popularizing the same attacks featured
in Sherman's essay. The Web site for Ted Sampley's Vietnam Veterans
Against Kerry offers a pungent example of the right's rhetorical style:
The Viet Cong's National Liberation Front flag is the background to a
shot of a young, fatigue-clad Kerry. That picture is pure computer magic
-- in other words, a fake.

According to author Susan Katz Keating, who has written extensively on
Vietnam veterans and the POW/MIA movement for the Washington Times and
Soldier of Fortune magazine, deception is what Sampley does for a
living. Her book "Prisoners of Hope: Exploiting the POW-MIA Myth in
America," published in 1994 by Random House, exposes how Sampley and his
allies abused the hopes of grieving families for fun and profit. Their
best-known victim, until now, was Sen. John McCain. He first drew
Sampley's poisonous attention when, along with Kerry, he debunked the
idea that Americans were still being held by Vietnam, and endorsed the
restoration of diplomatic relations with the Communist government."

And key Phrases again for Walley (I'd like to try to see things from
his point of view, but I can't get my head up my ass that far)

"deception is what Sampley does for a living"

"Sampley and his allies abused the hopes of grieving families for fun
and profit"

Kerry gave aid and comfort to the enemy during a war.
He marched in protest under the enemy flag.

Those are unrefutable facts. It happened.


If the are irrefutable facts, there should be sources to back them
up. I
haven't been able to find any. Perhaps you would like to share some?
