Kerry's Anti-US Remarks: Kos Kidz Spinning Like Crazy

Sensing impending disaster at the Daily Kos, the Kidz waste no time rushing to spin John F. Kerry’s Davos remarks: Daily Kos: John Kerry’s Pariah Bomb.

It’s great. They’re trying to simultaneously argue that:

1) Kerry’s remarks are being taken out of context, and

2) Kerry’s remarks are completely accurate and bursting with truthiness.

Take cover. Get ready for the blast that’s about to sweep through the media. A former presidential candidate said something that can be easily taken out of context and blown up into an absurd controversy by lazy and unethical media whores. Therefore, it will be.

At an economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, John Kerry was asked a question about the U.S. government’s relations with Iran prior to the election of Ahmadinejad. Kerry had the audacity to answer the question honestly and correctly recognizing the reality of Americas place in today’s world diplomacy. Unfortunately, he failed to couch the answer in phraseology that would prevent the misuse of his thoughts.
