Um, okay then I'd like to introduce you to [http://www.undergroundclips.com/undergroundclips/2004/10/nightline_falsi.html an obscure little program called NightLine] for starters (the site is over the top, but links to the relevant video, which I implore you to give a watch). Other news reports exist but I'm having a challenge finding them online at the moment, but the point is that basically that part where they claim Kerry got the silver star for tearing the heart out of a 2-year old child and eating it to fuel his satanic powers? Yeah, thats basically a lie. The only things they are semi-right about is whether Kerry was "wounded enough" for some of his purple hearts, and when he claimed to be in Cambodia he was merely near it and not actually within it. My point is that treating the group as arbiters of objective fact by repeating their charge unquestioningly is just... well flat out silly.--[[User:RexMundane|RexMundane]] 15:08, 20 April 2007 (EDT) | | ::...good lord are you actually serious?
