I heard Sen. Max Cleland talking about this issue this morning on Unfiltered on AAR. I had no idea this was going on. Absolutely fucking disgusting. They're sending the message that people who are wounded for their country will not be honored when they return home, but will instead be ridiculed and demoralized. Republicans: why must you repulse me so?
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them.
Morton Blackwell, a prominent Virginia delegate, has been handing out the heart-covered bandages to delegates, who've worn them on their chins, cheeks, the backs of their hands and other places.
Blackwell is president of the Leadership Institute, a nonpartisan educational foundation he founded in 1979. According to its Web site, the institute prepares conservatives for success in politics, government and the news media.
