re: #57 Dark_Falcon

The thing is that there was no equivalent of the Throbbing Memo that could have aided John Kerry. Showing the Bush docs to be fake was unusually effective because the refutation was quick and easy enough to simple to communicate. The things wrong in it were clear. The “things wrong” in John O’Neil’s vendetta against John Kerry were much harder to find and explain and could not be as nearly as clearly proven or shown.

The case against Dubya was clear: he used family ties to duck service in Vietnam and then did not even show up for that. But they managed to totally derail the discussion into long Internet arguments about IBM vs Microsoft Word character spacing and saved his sorry ass to be elected again.
