Specifically, he will refuse you the right to speak out and question his patriotism. Here's what Sen. Kerry (D-Pyongyang) said:
I refuse to have my patriotism or right to speak out questioned. I fought for and earned the right to express my views in this country.Think about that. He refuses "to have [his] patriotism" questioned because he served in Vietnam. Serving in the military doesn't give you a free pass to have your stupidity go unchallenged. And how exactly is the good Mr. Heinz going to "refuse" this questioning? As far as I can tell, the Republicans simply called him an idiot for his "regime change" talk and whining that his Eurobuddies don't trust President Bush.
Let's go over this one more time. Calling you an idiot, a dimwit, an terrorist-sympathizer or a Euroweenie because of your silly remarks is not a denial of your right to speak. But refusing to allow me to challenge what you say (i.e., refusing to let me challenge your patriotism) is such a denial, and very Saddam-like. First he hijacks the Howard Dean campaign, and now he's adopting victimology rhetoric. This campaign is getting really pathetic and is starting to make Johnny Edwards (D-Camp Lejeune) look statesmanlike.
