Well they went after Kerry too and made a mockery of his Purple Hearts. Don’t underestimate how scummy parts of our pubic can be with partisanship. I still remember the cracks at Kerry in 2004.

There were three things in the 2004 conventions that I can probably point to as things that made me move away from the GOP: the purple heart band aids; Obama’s speech; and, Zell Miller’s speech. I was always much more libertarian in my leanings, but the tone set by those three displays made me realize I had no place in the GOP.
