Well, somebody struck a nerve: It’s worth noting that McCain’s point man in deflecting allegations that weren’t made is Bud Day, one of the original Swift Boat Veterans who smeared John Kerry. (More on Mr. Day and McCain here.) John Kerry was a decorated Vietnam War hero, and yet he was smeared continuously as [...]
