He makes a dramatic point of talking directly to Bush about not waging a
negative campaign, while in the same speech he throws mud with "I will have
a vice president who will not conduct secret meetings with polluters to
rewrite our environmental laws."

Are you saying that the statement is factually incorrect? Incomplete? Misleading?

I think he showed a stronger presence than I'd seen in the past, with lots
of tough talk about his military credentials, but then I got this link
tonight. I'm not sure the quotes page will ring well with veterans and
military families...

Even Fox News doesn't believe this group. The FOX News political correspondent Carl Cameron said that much of their criticism "dramatically conflicts with the public record." The group's founder, John O'Neil wasn't even in Vietnam at the same time as Kerry.

O'Neil's beef with Kerry goes back to Kerry's speaking out against Vietnam war atrocities, when the Nixon administration needed vets to counter the growing unpopularity of the war. From my reading it looks like O'Neil is one of those who still believes the vietnam war was a good idea, and considers Kerry's speaking out against wartime atrocities to be a personal insult to the soldiers.
