Mike,

You are probably correct. If we could somehow make the following into a hypothetical question without names or parties attached:

Both candidates for President have questions concerning their military service during the Vietnam war.

A. Candidate Y served with the Air National Guard as a fighter pilot with a unit tasked with Combat Air Patrol to intercept incoming Soviet bomber forces. There are claims that he received special treatment to get into his job, perhaps received inflated evaluations, and failed to take his final physical before being honorably discharged.

B. Candidate Z served with the US Navy and was decorated for bravery and received three purple hearts. Upon returning from the war he was centrally involved with the anti-war movement. There are claims that his medals and purple hearts were awarded under dubious circumstances (he gamed the paperwork system) and that when he returned to the US he actively worked with the North Vietnamese to undermine the US war effort, made false claims of war crimes, pressured veterans and families of POWs to make false statements, and knowingly accepted and repeated false testimony to the US Congress under oath.

You are a journalist 35 years after the fact.

Which claims should be most vigorously investigated:

A. Those against Candidate X

B. Those against Candidate Y

C. Both

D. Neither

If that question could somehow be turned into a pure hypothetical I do not believe that any significant portion of “journalists” would select “A” as the correct answer. B, C, and D are all possible, but not A.

But the MSM and the Moonbats and the Dems can’t see that. They want the answer to be A.
