Smaller, more locally-based smear campaigns about his Vietnam service and anti-war protest years have been launched against him here in MA. And those controversies eventually died down and became irrelevant. And they were rarely effective, except for his 1972 campaign. And even then, the carpetbagger label did as much or more damage than the Vietnam War smears in that campaign. It hasn't even registered on the political radar in his last few Senate campaigns. I think he may have figured that attacks like the Swift Boat Liars would be just as ineffective, and would only get more publicity if he punched back at them aggressively.
