When you're firmly entrenched in a mindset, it's difficult to understand how the other side feels. I'm as guilty of anyone of that.
I saw where the Swift Boat veterans' book that bashes Kerry is number one on Amazon. It kind of got under my skin. Then, I realized that's probably how people who like Bush felt about "Farhenheit 9-11"'s success.
Let's put it this way: do you think the people who said to right-wingers, "How can you judge 'Farhenheit 9-11' if you haven't seen it?", are going to read the Swift veterans book?
I know I'm not. Having said that, I think one of these media successes is fairly truthful and the other is BS, but I'm sure my friends who are right leaning feel exactly the opposite.
