A born-again president vs. an always-perfect candidate | Marvin Olasky

With the Kerry campaign in full panic mode about the charges leveled against the candidate by 250 Swift Boat veterans it’s time to try to provide some perspective on the confused environment of a bygone era that is now leading to more confusion.

John Kerry graduated from Yale in 1966. George Bush graduated in 1968. I graduated from said institution in 1971. Yale became more strongly anti-war during those years, but Mr. Kerry reflected the campus mood even in 1966 when, as chairman of the Political Union (Yale’s most prestigious political debating society), he used his commencement address to criticize America’s involvement in Vietnam.
