Under intense questioning of Larry Thurlow, Chris exposes him as a man with a personal agenda;one filled with resentment at a man who spoke out against a war he felt was unjust. Thurlow talked about John Kerry having a secret plan to acquire medals to help his own political agenda,(If Kerry is that smart it seems he could have figured a way to further his political carreer without the risk of getting his head blown off), but as Mr Matthews does so eloquently( did I just right that?), he exposes Mr Thurlow of having no proof of his claims. The word "authentication" came up a few times. Once again making these swift boat veterans (for revenge)seem like scorned ex-lovers trying to fulfill a vendetta to hurt the person with vicious character attacks. Sort of like me calling Sean Hannity a lying, right wing memo reading RNC suck up,who will recite the same GOP lines over and over again as a Shakesperian actor might in a performance of Macbeth in order to promote his political agenda. Oh wait, that is the truth!
