"John Kerry has said it repeatedly: He will not allow people to question his patriotism."
That's just priceless. "He will not allow..." and what if people do it anyway, hmmm? What's he going to do about it, then? Have them locked up for thought-crime?

In Massachusetts, that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

This... this... is the Massachusetts mentality at its finest. "I won't allow you to question..." which is a nice way of saying "I won't allow you to have doubts or to think for yourself. Do as you're told and like it."

What the good Senator means is that any questions about his post-Vietnam anti-war rallies, his alliance at the time with "Hanoi" Jane Fonda, his anti-war anti-veteran book "The New Soldier" and all other embarrassing questions are not acceptable from the media.

Being the "fellow travellers" that they are, we can count on mainstream journalists to follow the Party line.

"Kennedy indemnified the whole for the actions of less than 1 percent."
That's an old story for Ted and John.

In 1993, both Senators from Massachusetts voted to ban all further imports of military style rifles and ammunition magazines with a capacity greater than ten.

Why?

Because less than ½ of 1% were used in crime. What about the other 99½% which were legally owned and legally used? Let's not bore the good Senators with the facts.

Such trifles have no influence in determining how they vote.
