Reply #12: If I'm interpreting it correctly - I worried about it last time [View All]

But an even bigger worry was that Rove had just spent 6 months creating a climate of hate. The hatred Nixon whipped up led to Kerry and his wife being harassed and threatened. Last year was just as intense when you add in all the RW nuts. The military was probably subjected to a lot of the SBVT stuff and RW nonsense. Having seen some of the excerpts of Free Republic essentially calling for Kerry to be tried for treason - my concern was that an American soldier, warped by this garbage could think he was helping his country by attacking Kerry. (Rabin was killed by a RW Jew angered by his peace initiatives.)

So I was happy when I saw soldiers smiling or listening intently when they were with him. I would assume they simply respected that he was there.

As to the Bush administrations, if that were what they wanted a US "accident" would be easier to hide and would have no chance to appear heroic - bringing back memories of a hero and a non-hero.
