John Kerry is a total POS opportunist who deserved every single word that the Swifties wrote/said about him.
Every word? Nah. Even some members of the SBVT expressed that they were made uncomfortable by the group's stance on John Kerry's medals.
I'd like to read about that. Do you have a link? I am curious to know in what context some of the SBVT were uncomfortable. My guess is their "discomfort" had nothing to do with exposing Kerry's reputation, as your dangling post implies.

The Massachusetts Democrat, a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, said he was willing to present his case directly to Pickens and would donate any proceeds to the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2007/11/16/kerry_takes_oilman_pickens_up_on_1_million_swift_boat_challenge/ I'm interested to see if Kerry can disprove the allegations made by the SBVT. He clearly seems to think so. If he can't, then it shows the SBVT were onto something. It shows the allegations against him could be true. On the other hand, if he can disprove some of the allegations, then...
