Thanks for posting.

One thing that struck me: Kerry is portrayed as an appealing figure who people, across age, political and social groups, are drawn to.

Fast foward to 2004, and the media and RW did everything their power to portray him as exactly the opposite of who he really is.

Talk about attacking someone on their strenght!
