Bring it on?

Swiftboat Vets is kicking ass, and taking names. I’ve watched them debate with Kerry’s people – and it’s amazing how the debate works:
Swift Vets: During Christmas 1968, Kerry wasn’t anywhere near Cambodia – let alone over the border.
Kerry Campaign: You guys suck!

Well it’s not exactly like that, but Swift Vets charges are never refuted by Kerry’s people. Instead Kerry’s team always attacks the Swift Vets personally. As anyone experienced with debate knows, such ad hominem attacks are usually indicative of an inability to refute charges.
