You have to stop caring about ruining lives and reputations

Yeah, that's right. Attack John Murtha's service record. A website is now calling into question two purple hearts awarded to the anti-war Republican congressman during Vietnam. (WP)

The really sad thing is that this Swiftboatian* tactic may just work. These are the same forces that in 2002 allowed Saxby Chambliss to question the patriotism of incumbent Georgia Senator Max Cleland, the Democrat who lost three limbs in Vietnam. And win his seat!!!

Here's the problem: the conservative attack dogs have no shame. Too many in the Democratic party establishment do. Ditch the shame, guys. Go down to their level and win a race or two, wouldja?
