Anatomy of a smear

It says a lot about the integrity of Kerry's critics and the value of their criticisms when the only ammunition they have are quotes that have been edited to distort their original meaning. I sense a pattern here and I hope that the American public gets wise to it soon. Why should we elect a president who can only campaign against a contorted view of his opponents words? Is it too much to ask that he face the issues in a straight-forward manner? Most importantly, what does it say about the kind of man Bush really is?
