Mean and Vicious

Do you know what happens when you cross Senator John Kerry when he's running to be commander-in-chief? Steve Gardner from Clover, South Carolina does. You see, Gardner was one of Senator Kerry's twelve Swift Boat crew members. He was outspoken in his opposition to Kerry's candidacy. He refuted much of what Kerry claimed to have happened in Vietnam. Free speech, right?

There's no free speech where Kerry and his followers were concerned. Gardner was threatened by John Hurley, the veterans organizer for Kerry's campaign. Hurley said, "You better watch your step. We can look into your finances." Gardner stood up to Hurley, and it cost him nearly everything.
