John Kerry did try to control who was allowed to criticize him.

First you couldn’t criticize him if you weren’t a veteran.
Then you couldn’t criticze him if you weren’t a Vietnam Veteran.
Next you couldn’t criticze him unless you were a Swiftboat Veteran
Then you couldn’t criticze him unless you were a Swiftboat Veteran that had served in his squadron.
Finally you couldn’t criticze him unless you were a Swiftboat Veteran that had served on his boat.

The circle of people whom he considered qualified to criticize him kept getting smaller and smaller.

I think in the end he had decided that no one was allowed to criticize him at all.
