Alice in Wonderland
That's what I feel like sometimes. Up is down, black is white, right is wrong. I finally saw one of the Swift Boat Veterans ads. In it Kerry was blasted for his statements to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. Dark, ominous music accompanied rolling quotes from his address, including "...laid waste to the countryside of South Vietnam," and "...destroying villages in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan." The ad was written as if it were a given that those quotes were untrue. As if William Calley had not recently given orders to slaughter 75 elderly men, women and children. As if the U.S. military had not ended the lives of over one million Vietnamese human beings. The ad was inspiring, I'll admit. I'm tempted to get in my car, drive out to Yorba Linda, dig up Richard M. Nixon's grave, rip him out of his casket, strap him to a chair and try him for his crimes against humanity.
