Ha! If true, a breach of decorum, but a welcome one.
Do a bit of research on the poor offended delicate veteran Ted Sampley who reports this, what an obnoxious creep. "Ted Sampley, a North Carolina conservative who tried to discredit former prisoner of war John McCain as anti-veteran in 2000, runs a Web site called Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry." Apparently Sample assaulted McCain's campaign manager. Go Kerry Go! Frankly, I'm surprised at Kerry's moxy and it makes me like him more. I hope the kids cheered, too.
The media is up for sale. Never trust a "journalist" to be objective while sporting any nation's flag in his or her lapel.
edit correction- I read later it was a McCain staffer that Sampley beat up.
