Newspaper Editorialists for Truth

I feel like a broken record, but it is once again time to point out that Jim Wooten is a lying ultrahack. He's lying when he says

Kerry as the anti-war activist who accused his fellow veterans of committing atrocities on a daily basis with the full knowledge of their officers -- a view he holds to this day.
Kerry did nothing of the sort -- if you read the entire transcript you'll see that Kerry was merely relaying the testimony of other veterans -- veterans who were mentally unstable because of the specific horrors of war that Kerry was relaying.

Now, for Jim Wooten's sake, here is an example. Let's say I'm called to testify to the US Senate about Jim Wooten and I say:

I've been told that Jim Wooten just reprints Georgia GOP talking points instead of writing his own pieces.
Now in this case, that happens to be my personal opinion but you could see how I could have a contrary opinion and how I could just be saying what other people have told me. But the truth isn't the GOP spin, and until it is, it won't be showing up in any Jim Wooten columns.

One word response: "huh?"

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you saying that he DID hold a contrary opinion? Why would he have represented the Vietnam Veterans Against The War? How many sentences in his testimony begin with "we?"

Until Kerry explicitly says "I disagree with everything I relayed in my testimony, as the people I used as information sources were mentally unstable," your point doesn't hold much water, IMO.

(However, if your point is just that Wooten is a hack, that 's pretty much self-evident.)
