Uncomfortable truths do not lose their truthfulness simply because you do
not approve of those saying them. To say that the folks making statements
about Kerry's Navy career that you don't like are right-wing attack dogs
does nothing to clarify, much less refute, their statements.

If you don't think they're saying truthful things about Kerry's career in
the Navy, then you should expose the untruths. Attacking them for saying it
without saying anything about what they're saying merely trivializes your
comments.
