They were for alliances, before they were against them.

Oh, good grief. Come on.

How nauseating! I wonder if this is the same sister who was here in Canada telling expats who to vote for.

So in other words, the Australians should act like France and Spain; get on their knees, raise their buttocks in the air as high as they can and ask Mr. Bin Laden & Co to be gentle. Is that what I'm to understand?

That's just unbelievable. I hope the Aussies...

ohnevermind.

Now I'm mad.

The Kerrys have a history of being traitors!

There seems to be a genetic predisposition in the Kerry's to bash America during time of war, whether at home or abroad. First Family of the US? I think not!

Re #7
That should be "kerrys", not "Kerry's"

Bali happened before the Iraq war you stupid twat.

There are laws against Americans interfering with American foreign policy, but I'll bet no more will be done to this traitorous moonbat than was done to her traitorous brother 30 years ago.

I hope the Aussie and American voters tell her and her family to GO TO HELL in a landslide.

The whole lot of them need to move to Phwrance.

I smell pajamahadeen. Again.

Unbelievable. These necks are only good for rope. Unbelievable.

Traitors. Frigging traitors.

OT - more bias from AP

Playing on the fear factor, Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) suggested in a campaign speech there might be another terrorist attack on the United States if John Kerry (news - web sites) were in the White House.

more AP bias

Yeah, it's just amazing how the Kerry Krew keeps blasting President Bush for not having allies, when we do in fact have allies. Then, they spend the rest of the time either offending or chasing off the ones we have.

Meanwhile, they only care about corrupt allies who sold weapons to Iraq so they could kill us with those weapons.

I am speechless. Someone get a rope.

What kind of school was it that Kerry's sis was teaching in, a madrassa? She sure sounds like an apologist. And a troublemaker.

Daybrother:

Someone get a rope.

Did they save the rope they used to hang Lord Haw Haw with?

This is ... unbelievable. Time to do some e-mailing.

newsflash...JOKerry has appeared in a silly wig in Australia. (Sorry, that was my first thought when I read about this.)

I can feel my blood pressure going up. What's the matter with that family anyway? I am so angry.

Hey did anyone see this?
It is a nice plug for Charles on the suntimes site.

That entire Kerry family is as big as a pile of shit there is...

The kerry's have proven they are dangerous.
They need to be stripped of their wealth, and then sent to the shittiest 3rd country imaginable to work as Peace workers. Perferably somewhere there is no close by available water.

#11, see previous thread.

Car swarm on aisle three. I know Charles will get to it, but I can just smell the BBQ already...

So, Kerry will get France, Germany and Russia to take part in Iraq, SO THEY CAN BE BIGGER TARGETS???
Someone help me with this.

Car swarm coming soon :-)

Really? Did the IDF roasty toasty some Hamasick? I hope so!

I went and read some Kos and updated my profile to add "freeper". Now to go add it to my resume, right after neocon zionist.

I'm not shocked. I'm not outraged. I'm not surprised. And I am definitely not awed.

Sadly, this seems to be par for the course. It appears that Senator Kerry is a defeatist at heart. He's no coward. He's no wimp. Instead, he seems to be ideologically dedicated to ensuring America's defeat because he thinks it's the right thing to do.

American voters should be made aware of this piece of news. It may affect the election.

So can we rely on this Kerry crowd and the guy ith big hair wanna be President, to support and defend us in any situation? He and his minions will do what is in self interest..sell us down the river if it suits their political and personal ambitions... be warned America.

This is my first post to LGF.
All your comments have motivated me to express my opinion:

Kerry and his supporters have a hidden agenda which is not only against the best interests of the US but also against the best interests of all Western Democracies.

Appeaser genes.

John Kerry: alienating the allies we have for a weaker America and political gain.

According to Palestinian reports, the Hamas terrorist was identified as Khaled Abu Shamiyeh, 30, a resident of the nearby Shaa'ti refugee camp. He was a member of the Hamas military wing, Izzadine al-Kassam, AP reported. Witnesses said parts of a dismembered body were pulled from the wreckage.

Hurrah! IDF! IDF! IDF!

Who will Kerry get to stand-in for him during the debates? Da bones of Benedict Arnold are rattling.

Sorry, I had not seen it .

Oh there might be a few aussies who go along with Kerry & Klan, but for the most part they are genetically inclined towards a good fight, and all you gotta do is point them in the right direction (towards the fight). They're no sissies (unlike John "Help! Gimme a medal! I got hit in my bummie by rice" Kerry)

Mushir al-Masri said, "Hamas will teach the enemy (Israel) a painful lesson."

I guess this means they gave up on the earthquakes.

Remember Bali!

Down with Islamist Fascism!

John Kerry repeats the falsehood that we have no allies and Diana Kerry has decided to make that falsehood a reality. I guess disloyalty and treachery run in the family.

Uhhh perhaps its the muslims that come by the boatload and set up shop down under with the hopes and goals of turning that beautiful country into yet another third world islamic toilet that put them in danger...the same hopes that they have for the US...but wouldnt that make kerry happy...he could throw a burka over that homely shemale of a wife, shut her shreiking mouth and slap her around when she didnt obey...all legal under sharia

Are these the same people Kerry chastized for supporting the US in Iraq? I hope she takes her flipflops.

Oh the car swarm just got better!

Shamiyeh escaped injury on September 7 when the air force targeted a Hamas training camp located in a football field in the city killing 15 Hamas members.

Hee hee. Got one they missed last time. If at first you don't succeed...

"My belief is US citizens living overseas are very concerned about the current direction of the US, particularly in regard to international affairs," she claimed. "They are on the front lines of the decline of US respect and reputation; they hear it and feel it on a daily basis."

... the decline of US respect and reputation AS AN APPEASER!
And that frightens those who want to make us weaker.

I AM SO P

Angry.

Ye gods. Is this the same team that ran around bashing Cheney for "fear mongering"???

Of course, Kerry doesn't really NEED the aussies, because he has Secret European Friends...maybe next he will send his Uncle Fred to tell the Brits they aren't needed anymore either :oP

Jayzuz...if anyone can't see that Kerry(and his followers) represents, quite literally, our enemies best interests they're plain, down-right stupid or they too are the enemy.

And it's not the first time, nor, the second!!!

More on the newest BBQ'd terrorist:

There's already been a car swarm, heh.

On November 3rd, if John Kerry is elected, John Howard should announce that he is taking Diana Kerry's advice and will be pulling all of Australia's troops out of Iraq.

Why would some one want to be the leader of a nation they so obviously hate? If this Country is as bad as the Kerry Klan says it is why don't they all just leave, why would they want to be in charge of such an awful country.

I am so tired of the leftist wakkos saying the RNC is trying to scary people in to voting for them when you have the sister of the DNC hack out there telling people G. W. has put their lives in danger. The whole DNC is so convoluted.

I'm so fed up with the left's conspiracies about why we went to war, and this kind of behavior from Kerry and his supporters. How would they like this:

The democrat party is funneling money and supplies to the insurgency in Iraq, killing American soldiers. More details as the story develops...

Hey, unless you've gone to Swiss boarding schools and yachted with the original JFK in Hyannis, you don't have the social standing to criticize America's new royal family, the very horse French looking Kerry's.

OK, can we call it treason now?

You are right. She was in Canada.

Kerry's sister urges expats to vote

Why plan train bombs before an election, when John Kerry's Campaign can achieve the same result!

Maybe that can be his new campaign slogan:

"Destabilizing Democracy without Bombs!"

Do you have your new buzzing prayer rug yet?

Tell the terrorists too, that you want to supply your own personal rusty dulled kitchen knife while you're at it.

Now Kerry has his own family running about trying to destroy our alliances and arguing forcefully for appeasement.

What can the Kerry campaign do next to self-destruct?

They're going to give Bush a landslide.

Tropical Depression #13, soon to be Tropical Storm Lisa, forms in eastern Atlantic.

Of course, it is now rather late in the season for a tropical cyclone forming near Africa to make it all the way to the US.

Nobody knows where Jeanne goes, models split 50/50 northeast out to see or northeast, than east, then southeast, then southwest, then west back towards Florida.

Still some question if the remnant low level circulation of Ivan, now east of Georgia that will move into Florida and then the Gulf is able to reorganize enough to possibly become a tropical depression before reaching the Texas/Louisiana coast late week.

From the official Kerry/Edwards Blog:

Diana Kerry Welcomes
Americans Overseas for Kerry

Nothing is more important to me than international understanding. I’ve spent most of my life as an expatriate, living and working in countries all over the globe, and the outcome of this election matters hugely to me -- and not just because John is running.

It matters to me that my country regains its good reputation and renews its friendship with the peoples of the world instead of being seen as a big bully.

You know, cuz if Syria thinks we're a "big bully" we need to change our foreign policy.

Outrageous, yes.

But surely - unless the fact that it's merely confirmation of what we knew in our bones counts against it - the day's greatest outrage is the Telegraph's report (hat tip, CQ) that France was behind the yellowcake forgeries?

[Link: www.telegraph.co.uk...]

This is simply unbelieveable. Not only is this undercutting an ally, it is interfering in a foreign election by the sister of a sitting US Senator and presidential candidate. I'm 55 years old, folks. I've never heard of anything like this (maybe the MSM just ignored it).

As a former Democrat, I am simply astonished by the Democratic Party in this country. Having lost the Presidency, Senate, House and the majority of governorships/legislatures over the past few years (and me), they have come out with fangs bared and dripping to regain some base of power.

Is there no stooping too low? Is there no lie too barefaced? Is there no self-respect within the party?

But I told my lovely spouse that the Democrats were turning hard left when the sent Ted Kennedy out on the stump. Kennedy has no national constituency save the hard left. Fasten your seat belts for an even more vicious campaign.

By the way, I noted on Drudge that Kerry accused Bush of having a "secret" plan to call up more reserves and Guard units immediately after the election. I haven't been able to find any MSM who have picked up on the Secret Plan. Anyone?

#64 George:

Is there no stooping too low? Is there no lie too barefaced? Is there no self-respect within the party?

No.

Oh, was that rhetorical?

That whirring sound you hear, getting louder by the hour, is Harry Truman and John Kennedy spinning in their graves.

#62 Geepers
So she calls us a big bully - on an international stage no less, then says she doesn't want us to be known as big bullies?
Oh that makes a helluva LOT of sense :oP
Is this an obscure form of the Kerry FlipFlop? Like, talking in opposites? Wow, my 6 year old does that too! Never thought it could be useful as a Foreign Policy though.

It is the same old tactic. The Democrats exagerrate problems and do nothing constructive. They complain and offer no alternatives. The MSM wrings its hands about how badly things are going everywhere and ignore positive developments. Spokesmen, like Michael Moore, spread propaganda to our enemies and then say the US is hated. The Left doesn't care about the consequences. They can't stand to be not to be loved and readily side with our enemies.

It is exactly what Kerry did in 1972 regarding Vietnam. The accolades the North Vietnamese gave him are the only ones he truly earned.

What this bitch is doing is not loyal oppostion. There is only one word for it... traitorous.

Diana Kerry has just finished up her European tour.
This kind of rhetoric from her is nothing new.

This fits into the Left’s theory that terrorism against the West is result of some behavior, some act, on our part that warrants these horrors coming from Islam. Some sort of simpleton cause and effect view of the world. Exactly what had we "done" to warrant Al Qaeda blowing up our two embassies? Preventing us from distributing food in Somalia? Driving airliners into office buildings? What act had the Aussies done to cause the immolation of a disco in Bali? The Left’s vague and unproved response is colonialism at it’s finest: they're explaining causes of individuals they have never met from other cultures that they know nothing about.

#64

There is no "secret" plan. The Guard makes up a considerable % of our troops now in Iraq. When they come back others will be rotated out there. There is no secret about that and Guard Units are hardly kept in the dark about it.

What's interesting to me is that the recruiting in both the regular military services, as well as the Guard, have not been significantly impacted yet by the Iraq War:

She is a traitor, just like her old man.

What's shocking about this? Didn't Kerry himself, representing the American antiwar forces, have meetings with the North Vietnamese in Paris while the war was still going on? This sort of thing falls right in line.

Similarly, Michael Moore attempted to influence the Canadian election in June of this year. One of the results of this was .

Let me assure you that Canadian conservatives, including those who posted chargemoore.com, do not generally approve of the law under which Mr Moore could be charged. We do think, however, that the law should be enforced no matter who breaks it and there was some hope that a case involving a 'celebrity' might lead to the law being struck down.

Elections Canada has so far declined to act.

Dick Cheney was correct all along about what a vote for Kerry means.

Obviously, I haven't got the hang of this yet.

Here's the link, I hope.

No surprise here. They're Democrats first, Americans second, as you all should know by now.

Here's a cool story, for once.

U.S. Soldiers Introduce Baseball to Iraqis

One batter, 13-year-old Ferman Fredun, was hit in the ribs by a fastball.

"Ow," he yelled.

"Take your base," Haught shouted, and the boy trotted to first, managing a smile.

Haught, commander of a platoon that occupies a small base in this town 205 miles north of Baghdad, said the soldiers hope America's favorite pastime catches on in Iraq.

Note the use of the word "occupies". The media are loathsome but it's still a nice story.

BTW, the poor woman looks like John Lithgow in drag in "World According to Garp."

I apologize for the numerous typos in my #77, I was going too fast and hit "send"instinctively!

Any trivia buffs here? When was the last time that an American was prosecuted for violating 18 USC section 953 which directly forbids US citizens from negotiating with foreign powers? Who precisely has to be the one pressing charges? Could what Kerry's sister is doing be defined as a "negotiation" of any sort? She is attempting to eliminate them as an ally, which sounds close.

Dear Diana,

The only Australians who respect the US less, as time goes by, are the liberal left. They are the same ones who would vote for your brother if they were US citizens. They didn't like the US when President Clinton was in charge so I don't see why they would like you if your brother was President.

You should learn something about this country before you sell your own country short. As Oktober has already pointed out, Bali happened before the Iraq war. You might be interested to know that 9/11 also happened before the Iraq war too.

I'm like a lot of my countrymen; I don't like Australians who criticise this country when they are overseas and I don't like Americans who criticise their country when they are overseas either.

Your troops are dying in Iraq and ours are with them.

We are not Spaniards - we are not Filipinos - we do not cut and run - many of us will never forget or forgive the 88 young Australians murdered in Bali.

To try to make us fearful by saying we are at greater risk from terrorism shows that you do not know us at all.

Evidently, treachery runs deep in Kerry's family.

#68 Jimmy The Clam:
From your link, first story listed:

but the linguist, who worked as a translator in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich

{pounds head on couch}

From the NRO kerry Spot. (Lower case k strictly intentional) about how easy it would be do a Torricelli if kerry looks certain to go down in flames:

A simple majority of the Democratic National Committee could vote to replace its nominee. According to Disinfopedia:

While anyone who is registered to vote as a Democrat is a member of the Party, there are 440 members of the Democratic National Committee. The National Committee has 9 elected officers: The Chair, five Vice Chairs, Treasurer, Secretary, and National Finance Chair.
"Membership on the National Committee is composed of individuals selected by the Democratic Party organizations in each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), the U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands), and Democrats living outside the United States and those Territories listed above (Democrats Abroad).

"Each jurisdiction is represented by its Chair and the next highest ranking officer of the opposite sex. An additional 200 votes are distributed to the states and territories based on population, with each receiving a minimum of two additional seats. Each delegation must be equally divided between men and women.

"Also seated on the DNC are representatives of various Democratic constituencies and elected officials. These include two U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, two members of the College Democrats, and three representatives each from the Democratic Governors, Mayors, State Legislators, County Officials. Municipal Officials, Young Democrats, and the National Federation of Democratic Women. Fifty members are appointed by the DNC Chairmen, and approved by the DNC, and are considered 'Members-at-Large.'

So all it would take would be for 221 members of the DNC to agree it’s time to replace Kerry. The closest precedent to this is the post-convention replacement of Thomas Eagleton, George McGovern's running mate, with Sargent Shriver in 1972.

Would a majority of those folks vote to dump Kerry if he seemed to be a McGovern-style disaster in the making?

Probably not. For starters, there's no easy choice to replace him. Hillary Clinton appears to be laying the groundwork for 2008. The party could bump up Edwards, or bring in two new guys.

The advantage for the Dems would be that all of the anti-Kerry efforts of the GOP and conservative groups - all the Swift Boat Vets for Truth ads, all the flip-flop jokes, all the "I voted for it before I voted against it" — all of that would get wiped off the table. And if things are looking so horrifically grim, the point of the last-minute switch wouldn't be to win, it would be to make it respectable.

It's like pulling a struggling quarterback in the fourth quarter of a rout, and hoping that the backup QB can at least make the score look respectable when time runs out.

The problem for the Democrats is that there isn't any universally-respected safe alternate. You would need someone acceptable to the Deaniacs, yet that the country could trust in the war on terror.

This isn't likely, and it's just a theory. But if radio talk show host and NRO contributor Michael Graham has thought of this and looked into it... it's probably a safe bet some DNC lawyer has looked into it.

Gerhard, Jacques and Vladimir,

Aren't you guys just itchin' to get into this fight so that a) Kerry can implement his secret plan to substitute your body bags for ours, and b) when things get tough you can be pegged by the Kerry Klan as deserving of homeland attacks because you stepped forward to help us in Iraq?

Of course, a traitor to his own country does not make for a reliable ally.

Unless, of course, you never intended to be allies to the traitorous meathead no matter what and you've always wanted to see America taken down big time.

Do "palistinians" use a special mesquite garlic sauce with their terrorist bbq?

Americans Overseas for Kerry website (Michael Moore's link of the week).

One of the most effective locations for overseas voter registration drives over the past summer has been outside of theaters showing the movie Farenheit 911. Think what you will about the film; there is no doubt that patrons streaming out of each screening are highly motivated to excercise their right to vote. Now, there is a parallel source of newly-inspired voters in cyber-space: OverseasVote2004 is Michael Moore's Link of the Week.

Memo to Kerry and his sister: have you ever heard of the flow of time? some things happen before others?

- the 9/11 massacre took place in 2001-Sep

- the Bali massacre too place in 2002-Oct

- the Baathist dictatorship in Iraq was toppled in Mar-Apr 2003

In order to understand history, one must first understand the relationship between cause and effect. The Kerry family obviously groks neither.

If Diana Kerry taught school for 15 years in Indonesia, the largest Moslem nation, then she must have some good connections there. Perhaps JFK could make her his Ambassador the some Moslem country somewhere.

Ah I see someone else has taken the liberty in finding good pic the john ummm i mean kerrys sister.
I remember a few weeks ago I went to buy the Jewish Chronicle or JC as people refer it as and after reading most of the newspaper I thought I saw a pic of john kerry in the UK. Then I noticed the very slight hint that this kerry looked like a women and it came to me that I was kerrys sister, I honestly could not tell the diffrence between them and I'm still having trouble making the distinction. ;-)

I'm going to go on record right now and say that if you've ever voted for a Democrat, you should seek forgiveness. If you're thinking about voting for Democrats, you should have your head examined. And if you vote for Kerry, you should be shot.

All through the cold war, I had this suspicion that socialists and communists were often very, very ugly or otherwise physically repulsive. They seemed to believe that, come the revolution, beauty would be redistributed.

I think there is something of the sort at work with current moonbattery. I mean, has anyone here realized a burka might be a great equalizer. Heck, put one on me and I look as good as Miss Universe. Or Diana Kerry. Granted, this does not explain Kerry or MM. Perhaps their particular brand of dhimmitude will make men wear burkas, too? Or Nasa bunny suits?

OT sort of posted elsewher:

DRUDGE reporting that Kerry will be using Iraq as his cause celebre to attack Bush from now to the election.

I.e., the war that he voted for, then against, then for, then against.

Using a war in which our troops are CURRENTLY in the line of fire to score political points and lower morale is by far the most disgusting, nauseating thing I have seen in politics in my lifetime.

This morning some smirking DNC operative named "Sasha" was all but gloating over the recent increase in bombings and the INtel report whining that we are FAILING in Iraq, and LOSING the war.

I wanted the RNC guy they had on to say: So, just so everyone is clear, you are telling the 100k plus military men and women in Iraq that they are LOSERS and FAILURES-, is that correct?

Great way to get that military vote you flaming c--t.

Not to be an alarmist or anything, but that's how I see it.

ahahaha :o) We could try your Burka-Bunny Suit Equalizer theory on D Kerry, but first we would have to figure out which country she is currently committing treason in! And then who would be the unfortunate soul who had to get close enough to her to bag her with a burka? Yipes! And what if the burka didn't help? Can we try stripes next? Or a nice orange jumpsuit?

andrew2 -

Am I mistaken, or were our comments to Americans Overseas for Kerry just deleted?

Hmmm - not only were our comments deleted, but the entire story that the comments were posted to is missing from the Google cache of the page.

"My belief is US citizens living overseas are very concerned about the current direction of the US, particularly in regard to international affairs," she claimed. "They are on the front lines of the decline of US respect and reputation; they hear it and feel it on a daily basis."

And some of us are on the front-lines of the ATTACK on US self-respect and honorable reputation, an ATTACK being led by YOU, Ms Kerry.

IF you come to Bangkok, I shall do my best to use my own loud mouth to counter your poisonous, cowardly, appeasing and short-sighted ignorance.

I think this woman should be brought back to the states and made Kerry's official campaign spokesbat.

Will the MSM pick up on this? Cuz if they do, it will drown out the candidate his own self for another week.

Like, can you just see Dan Rather interviewing her?!?!?!

Isn't Kerry the guy who will convince our allies to send in troops to help stabilize Iraq? Isn't he the guy who wants a broad-based international colalition in Iraq?

Apparently, his real plan for Iraq is to alienate our allies who are actually willing to fight, convince them to abandon the US in Iraq, then surrender. What a plan.

Is it okay to question their patriotism now?

The Australians seem to have forgotten the Buna campaign at the beginning of the World War II against the Japanese. There, the US sustained huge casualties saving Australia from being certain occupation by the same sort of malignant militaristic pietists who again today make no secret of their aims in Australia. In doing so, the US left itself open to a follow up attack on Pearl Harbor.

Thanks, mates! Throw yourselves on the barbee for me.

Here is what I posted to Americans Overseas for Kerry:

I have contacted both of my senators to ask that they contact the Kerry Campaign, demanding that their candidate disavow the comments made by Diana Kerry to The Weekend Australian.

The people of Australia have my respect and esteem for their courageous efforts against terrorism, and I am confident they will not be deterred by crude threats.

After apparently deleting my comment (and a comment by andrew2) they sent me this e-mail:

Dear Mr. Glen Wishard:

Are you really an American or simply a poseur? Crude threats? I do not know what you are talking about. Ms. Kerry simply observed the fact that Australia has recently been the target of terrorists attacks in Indonesia, and she agreed with the questioner --an Australian-- that it seems likely there is a reason why. You have the right to write your Senators, as you live in a free country. But is unclear to me why you believe your Senators have the power to "demand that [the Kerry Campaign] disavow the comments made by Diana Kerry." Has John Ashcroft yet managed to achieve his goal of suspending Freedom of Speech? I don't think so. But he'd like to, which is why we need John Kerry in the White House.

I do think you had better get used to the fact that you live in a free country and people-- Democrats and the candidate's sister as well as anyone else-- have the right to express their opinions. If you don't like that fact maybe you should look for a new residence elsewhere, as you do not seem deserving of the Liberties enjoyed by true Americans.

Respectfully, as a free and proud American, I am yours truly,

Jim Brenner

So, there you have it. I am called a "poseur", which I think is the French word for a male model. (I assure you all this is not true)

I am also apparently interferring with Diana Kerry's freedom of speech, possibly at the behest of John Ashcroft. (I have no knowledge of any such operation, nor would I be disposed to discuss such an operation if it did in fact exist)

Finally, I think he just told me to get the f--k out of the United States. But I suspect that Mr. Brenner is under 25 years old, which means that I was here first.

Glen Wishard (#134),

From your e-mail:

Has John Ashcroft yet managed to achieve his goal of suspending Freedom of Speech? I don't think so. But he'd like to, which is why we need John Kerry in the White House.

what the hell? And after they deleted your comment?

Crude threats?

There was no threat at all, more or less crude.

The whole letter is equally ridiculous, but seemingly reflects the quality of Americans Overseas for Kerry-Edwards.

#134 Glen Wishard
Let me guess!
You're a lingerie pajama model?

Geepers -

He was referring to the "crude threats" comment in my post - i.e., the crude threats against Australia.

But when he says:

you do not seem deserving of the Liberties enjoyed by true Americans.

He might be making a crude threat of his own.

Didn't Kerry also meddle in the Nicaraguan war too???

Here is the response I sent to Mr. Brenner at AOK:

===

Dear Mr. Brenner:

I am sorry to hear that you feel I am not a "true" American, and that I am therefore undeserving of liberties. I personally feel that even non-Americans are deserving of liberties, but I'm sure you don't care about my feelings.

I take the substance of your argument as follows: John Kerry cannot distance himself from the damaging remarks that Diana Kerry made to The Australian Weekend, as this would violate her freedom of speech. Well, I certainly wouldn't want that to happen, so I guess you're stuck with it.

I suspect from the tone and quality of your remarks that you are a person their early twenties. For this reason, I reject your suggestion that I depart from my beloved United States of America - forsaking my purple mountain majesty and my amber waves of grain - on the grounds that I was here first.

#139 Glen Wishard
excellent! :o)

Jim said "I do think you had better get used to the fact that you live in a free country and people-- Democrats and the candidate's sister as well as anyone else-- have the right to express their opinions."

ummm actually that might not be true. a private citizen encouraging a foreign ally during a war to jump ship might very well BE a violation of the law.

Some Australians have not forgotten Bloody Buna.

The Michigan National Guard and The 128th Infantry Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, among others, left many dead at Buna.

I suggest you do a bit more reading:

In mid-1942 the Japanese landed a large force at Buna, a point on the northwestern coast of New Guinea's Papaun (sic) Peninsula. When the Japanese landed, an Australian force was on their way north to take Buna, but were still short of the objective. Within four days after the Japanese landings, they met up with the Australians in the Kokoda Pass in the rugged Owen-Stanley mountains. As the fight continued, 21st TCS aircrews flew supplies into the Kokoda airstrip, often landing without knowing which side held the field. Finally, the superior Japanese forces pushed the Australians back along the Kokoda Track toward Port Moresby. During their fighting retreat the Australians were kept supplied by the American troop carrier crews. Soon the C-47 had a new nickname; the Aussies began calling them "Biscuit Bombers." The Australian retreat continued southward until the Japanese advance was finally halted some 30 miles north of the Allied stronghold at Port Moresby.

And as for:

Thanks, mates! Throw yourselves on the barbee for me.

Come on down anytime fuckknuckle.

This article speaks for itself.

Great, malign the country during a time of war and undermine the support from our allies. What is it about the Kerrys and public attacks on their own country?

Like bother (Vietnam) like sister (Iraq). What a loathsome gene pool.

You have to admire these people really. I mean, cognitive dissonace is a hard trick at the best of times, but to perform it flawlessly on a continual basis is truly amazing.

Paraphrasing Cheney:
Voting for Kerry will increase the risk of terror attack in the US = Bad message

Paraphrasing D Kerry:
Voting for Bush will increase the risk of terror attack in Australia = Good message

BTW didn't I see her in some Monty Python episode a while back?

[Link: www.dw-world.de...]

The Republican Party obviously see this in a different light. At the recent Republican National Convention they said your brother was indecisive. What do you think about accusations that he flip-flops on issues?

I don’t think they deserve to be discussed or considered. They are just slanderous misrepresentations of my brother's record.

Kerry's sister has been globe trotting a lot lately.

#14 Oktober Cheney's Fear factor :)

Man, and I thought his wife was a liability... I see all the women surrounding him are delusional.

Great post. I love it when people become logical.

Kerry apologists have implied that Kerry will somehow bring other countries to our side.

I believe that Kerry will make the US a tail to Old-Europe. US policy will follow that of Old-Europe, not vice-versa.

As for other countries, Kerry will try to bring other countries to the side of Europe, to follow Old-Europe attitudes and policies. Just as his sister is doing now in Australia.

Unfortunately, Kerry's sister is trying to subvert the present US policy.

Just as Kerry did after he returned from Vietnam, when he made a show of throwing away his medals, and when he produced libels against his band of brothers when he testified in 1971, and when he went to the enemy to discuss things. Kerry helped subvert US policy when we were at war with North Vietnam.

One good thing about Ms Kerry - she gave me a new bumper sticker quote from the article:

J F'n Kerry "has the reputation of fighting well from behind"

Most true leaders lead from the front.

Wonder what he's fighting back there?

Meanwhile, Kerry's older sister Peggy stumps for him in NYC. Even though her NGO job forbids it.

The Kerry Spot has a good point:

If Diana Kerry can say that Bush's policies are going to get Australians killed, why shouldn't Dick Cheney say that John Kerry's policies are going to get Americans killed?

Gimme a break. Aussies will not be influenced by this, but perhaps you should also be 'outraged' at the way the Bush administration earlier tried to make several (also likely failed) attempts at interfering in these elections. There are some intelligent people here, but the malicious bias and unchallenged racism being posted every day is really not very helpful, and I really wonder if LGF is merely the right-wing version of indymedia.

Maybe you should go back to Indymedia and conduct a prolonged study. It might at least help your poor reading comprehension skills.

Re : #83 YouCanCallMeMeyer : Couldn't have put it better myself, mate.

Re : #133 jahpdq : Thanks for an extremely original and certainly very creative interpretation of history.
You might want to study a more conventional view.

MacArthur, for his part, wanted to advance with American forces as soon as he could. In November 1942 he landed unprepared American troops on Buna. They were driven back to the beach, barely holding on to their landing zone. MacArthur’s staff sent glowing communiquىs claiming advance, and declared Buna secure. While the American public was happy with victory, the Australians were landed to actually take the objective. Buna was declared secure, but fighting continued. The Australian government was privately unhappy with the casualties and with the credit going to the Americans, who would not have succeeded without the Australians. Plus, there was no strategic reserve left at home should the Japanese invade Australia.

Green American troops, with no training in Jungle conditions, and led by inexperienced officers tried to take Buna using nothing but guts and determination, the only two things they had plenty of. They did as poorly as the Australians in a similar situation did in Malaya in early 42.
Though some of the US National Guard regiments actually broke and ran, we still honour their courage and sacrifice, as they did as well as could reasonably have been expected, and as well as our guys in a similar SNAFU did.
Later on of course, the US Army became just as professional as the Aussies, something that only happens after you screw up initially. And they never lost the Guts and Determination they'd always had. From then on, the Japanese could only die, not win.

Do we look Spanish?

F*ck off, Botox Bitch.

but the malicious bias and unchallenged racism being posted every day is really not very helpful

Helpful to who, you?

Heinz Kerry's sister has just taken the ugliest page out of the playbook of the Israeli anocephalic [sic] far left. She and Yossi Beilin might make a nice pair. (Pity Beilin is probably more interested in Yasser Abed Rabbo or Miguel Moratinos.)

If I were an American and still needed a reason to vote for Bush, this would be it.

I guess it's illegal for non-US citizens to contribute to electoral campaigns (for good reason!!), but I feel like making a donation out of sheer spite.

62 Geepers

Hmmm... there's something familiar about that D. Kerry quote that you posted. Big bully, big bully... Let's see...

OH YEAH!!! The leftist screwballs tried the "he's presenting the US as an international bully" argument against Reagan, too. That worked well! ;)

#148 Glen Wishard

That was fast. I can't believe they said your comment was threatening. It was not at all. These people are really deluded. I am posting another along with the following article which was featured in Quadarant Australia magazine.

I wonder if our Australian friends believe this article documenting the rise of Middle Eastern crime in Sydney is as great a threat as America. Also to our Australian friends, does this article accurately reflect the situation in Sydney now?

Rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Sydney

Copy of my post on overseas4kerry.com.

Americans overseas for Kerry

Dear Diana Kerry and Austrailian citizens:

What is more threatening, the rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Sydney, or The United States of America trying to tackle the problem of Islamism?

Please read the following link:

[Link: www.quadrant.org.au...]

Volume XLVIII Number 1 - January-February 2004
The Rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Australia
Tim Priest

Category: Society

"I BELIEVE that the rise of Middle Eastern organised crime in Sydney will have an impact on society unlike anything we have ever seen.

In the early 1980s, as a young detective I was attached to the Drug Squad at the old CIB. I remember executing a search warrant at Croydon, where we found nearly a pound of heroin. I know that now sounds very familiar; however, what set this heroin apart was that it was Beaker Valley Heroin, markedly different from any heroin I had seen. Number Four heroin from the golden triangle of South-East Asia is nearly always off-white, almost pure diamorphine. This heroin was almost brown.

But more remarkable were the occupants of the house. They were very recent arrivals from Lebanon, and from the moment we entered the premises, we wrestled and fought with the male occupants, were abused and spat at by the women and children, and our search took five times longer because of the impediments placed before us by the occupants, including the women hiding heroin in baby nappies and on themselves and refusing to be searched by policewomen because of religious beliefs. We had never encountered these problems before..."

zulubaby,
but the malicious bias and unchallenged racism being posted every day is really not very helpful

Helpful to who, you?

I'm responding to you so I have illusions of not feeding the troll. Seriously -- I'm rather puzzled. RACISM? I have yet to hear any race put down on this site. And I lurked here a long time before I ever started posting.

So -- do we assume this person confuses disapproval of and dread of those who follow a death cult that's more a repressive social philosophy than a religion with racism?

Or do we simply assume that its putative mind is so open the brain fell out?

As for malicious bias... What's the difference between malicious bias and helpful bias? Does this person understand semantics at all?

All bias is by definition malicious. Just last week I sat through a -- professional! -- meeting in which all other participants said biased things about Bush. I didn't find it particularly helpful but perhaps our trollette would. More likely, of course, it would fail to see anything biased about THOSE comments.

I was asked by a helpful friend to post this since registration has been disabled:

"Folks, settle down and relax.She had her little speech, we listened politely, then did what Aussies usually do with tripe like this...ignore it and her.It was on a weekend byline, the weekly papers dont carry it. they
dont give a fig and the only person she managed to convince was the leftie in the telephone booth.

Moore tried this as well and was roundly ignored and frozen out...no one tells us Aussies what to do, and no one lectures us on our foreign affair. If I could note: "Dear Ms Kerry, WHY did your "admirable concern for your allies" include a deafening silence after the Jakarta bombing? Why wait almost two weeks later to say something (and this is to get a plug in Kerry, you dont give a toss about us AND WE KNOW IT) when the time to do so was the day it happened?..Oops your vaunted PR machine slipped up there.

P.S You better have a word to your brother about Putin too...you see Mr Candidate forgot to send a message to him after Beslan. My guess is he ain't impressed.

President Bush remembered...care to explain why you didn't?"

[crickets chirping]

Thought so.

We have long memories,Ms Kerry...we know who our friends are.We trust President Bush...we don't trust your "candidate" as far as we can throw him.

Got one too few roos in the top paddock, I guess.

Brendan, Australia

Brendan, sorry it took me so long to post this. I was out of town this weekend.

Wondered if you have heard about this? The latest tactic by the Dems to win the election. In Colorado, Amendment 36 would split the electoral college based on the popular vote. As it stands right now, that would favor Kerry. Other states are watching to see how it goes, then may follow. Judge said that if the vote passes, it would be implemented immediately. Foxnews website has a video of the issues.
