Quote: Matter-eater Man said: You do realize that he emediatley dropped out of that organization [that actually considered assassinating U.S. government figures] before that talk started. Also he was being shadowed prior to that.
Actually, and to Kerry's credit, I believe he dropped BECAUSE that talk started.
As far as your allegation that Kerry had already dropped out. You are incorrect. At first Kerry denied being at the meeting where this was discussed. Then, when confronted with the fact he was there, he said he had "forgotten" being there. (Yeah, I can see how being present at something as trivial as a murder plot would slip someone's mind).
However, as noted above, after that happened, he quit (and, like I said, that's to his credit).
Still, given the violent philosophies of some in the group, its no surprise that any member, including Kerry, was being watched.
