"Whether Bush did enough to fight terror before September 11, or whether Kerry could deliver democracy to Iraq, are matters of interpretation. Kerry's record in Vietnam is a matter of fact. If people are lying about those facts, they need to be called on that and sent away. It is not a matter of these veterans, as The New York Sun wrote in a mendacious editorial last week, deserving "the right we all have to speak." They obviously have a right to speak. They don't have a right to lie..."
That's swell and all but how does he know they're lying? Because he disagrees? I love the way he dismisses the Swiftvets allegations because Kerry's service "is a matter of fact." That Kerry spent 4 months in Vietnam is fact, that he was awarded 3 Purple Hearts is fact - this does not obviate the allegations against him.
