They're at it again!

When the right-wingers can't defend a their position with a logical, cogent argument, they go for the ad hominem attack. Hey, it worked against the Democrats' cigar-store Indian John Kerry. Now the right-wingers are going after Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who served in combat in Vietnam. A right-wing web site is now questioning the circumstances surrounding the awarding of Rep. Murtha's two Purple Hearts. [See The Washington Post, 14 Jan 2006] My question is has David Thibault served in combat? Of course the attack on Rep. Murtha may cause a buzz for a while. It doesn't matter if it's inaccurate. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
