After reading this. . .

. . .I'm left with a big question: What the hell happened to all those people who were willing to call the Swifties liars in defense of John Kerry's actions in Viet Nam, based on the fact that they weren't right there in the boat with him when he hauled ass outta there?

What happened to the benefit of the doubt? Does it only apply in times of peace, and is there some sort of grandfather clause? Or is it that, in the mind of the typical lefty, the fact that a Republican is in the White House automatically renders the whole operation a criminal enterprise -- and the Marine is thereby guilty by extension?
