BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Kerry just had a Muskie (1972) moment.

If sKerry runs again in '08, all the GOP has to do is run this clip. He is sooo done.

What a poofter.

John Kerry doesn't deserve to shine the boots of our fighting men and women.

John who?

What a tool!

Speaking poop to power!

Wotta maroon.

John Kerry: Stuck on Stupid
Indeed.

Kerry?!? Didn't he once run for prez?

John Kerry is a knobhead with no knob.

I just saw the complete video. Kerry clearly makes this disparaging remark and waits for the laughter. No mistake. Vile filth

Good luck with that McCain,

Wow...

Imagine John Kerry as Commander in Chief.

John Kerry is very smart!

You mean Kerry is on ibogaine too?

Aitsu wa Kuso ga ippai

That thing is full of shit.

what a pathetic stack of walking fecal matter. Kerry can't just get over what a failure his whole life is, so lashing out and transfering his guilt to others has become his whole purpose in life.

what an empty husk, not even remotely biodegradable.

Wow. Kerry truly has become the Angry Left. Whining, conspiratorial, bitter, vicious. Take a good look America. Here's your choice for Nov. 7. Nancy Pelosi said last week the speaker's gavel would soon be out of the hands of ``special interests'' and into those of ``America's children.''

She didn't know how right she was...

Back in 1972, Sen. Edmund Muskie whome everyone assumed was a shoo in for the Democratic Presidential nomination went outside the headquarters of the Manhcester Uniion-Leader and in the snow broke down in tears after some smarmy comments the publisher William Loeb had written about Muskie's wife Jane. That finished Muskie.

I just hope the Republicans have the sense to turn this into a hard-hitting nationwide ad campaign over the next week.

Okay John. Let's change some rules. Higher scores required to join our armed forces.

If someone is from a lower social "caste", let's exclude them from "volunteering".

Anyone who is appearing to use our military as a way to lift themselves out of squalor, should be immediately disqualified. Family W2's required.

Would that satisfy the libs?

Kerry says

“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq

Kerry says

They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside

But those were heros serving in Vietnam, not Iraq, and it all depends on the meaning of "is", and Rush is fat, and let's talk about the REAL issue of how Bush tortures Iraqi kittens!

The media will bury this story.

*spit*

John Kerry is a repugnant condescending elitist money-grubbing liberal whore.

John Kerry will never be president.

What is Kerry smoking, and where can I get me some of that?

He's repeatedly castigated and denigrated men in uniform. He goes so far as to alternatively blame and admit to engaging in the same activities as those who he says constitute war crimes.

I served in the military and I'm a Republican.
Am I a "hack"?
Am I a "chickenhawk" like Nodrog once called me?

Kudos to the dude or dudette who wrote that release. Pretty much covered all the usual suspects.

Expect a slightly reworded effort from Ahmadinnerjacket, Zawahiri, Bin Laden in upcoming days...

Priceless.

That is an unhinged rant worthy of 2004. You are done Ketchup Boy.

Thank you Charles for staying on top of this. I'm one of your readers that understands the grave threat that Islamic extremism poses to our way of life, but at this juncture, I'm much more concerned with those in my country who pose as patriots, yet scheme and plan for a social re-engineering and socialistic reform. Like it or not folks, this coming week will prove to be pivotal with regards to America's survival. Call me an alarmist...I don't care a whit.

YOU RANG?

Is Kerry's the face that launched a thousand Swiftboats?

Frankenstein's twin.

It is amazing when kerry's backbone appears. And look who he lashes out at. First those who serve their country and then those that criticise him for critising them. Great leader you are, yes sir you sure know how to pick your battles. Go hang out with your buddies from IVAW why don't ya.
/disgusting POS

While beating up on John Al-Querie is so much fun, I just want to digress into election issues for a second.

Rasmussen yesterday came out with a poll showing Webb leading Allen,
but look at what they pulled.

Suppressing the vote by misleading polls.

Don't let them get away with it.

Cease and desist panicking about George Allen.

Rasumussen's poll was a one-day poll on a Sunday. Where are Allen's supporters on a Sunday? At church. and/or watching football, playing football, cursing as the hated Cowboys come back against the Panthers Sunday night.

Note Erick Erickson's point that the campaign that is constantly releasing its internal polls showing good news is likely the one more desperate to demonstrate that they're doing well. This means you, Thelma Drake.

You know when a Virginia Republican should panic about Allen? When he polls down, outside the margin of error, among likely voters, in a poll over three days, with a sample that is 39 percent Republican, 36 percent Democrat, and only 27 percent from the northern suburbs of DC. That's the turnout in 2004.

Or if a virus eats the entire get-out-the-vote databases of the GOP.

Or if Allen legally changes his name to Macacawitz.

Stick a fork in Kerry; he's done.

Kerry "lying" (?) about Iraq:

"Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President, or the credibility to be elected President.

No one can doubt or should doubt that we are safer -- and Iraq is better -- because Saddam Hussein is now behind bars."

      Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
      Speech at Drake University in Iowa
      December 16, 2003
      [Link: freedomagenda.com...]
 

"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him."

      Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
      During a Democratic Primary Debate at the University of South Carolina
      May 3, 2003
      [Link: freedomagenda.com...]
 

"So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War.

In U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, the United Nations has now affirmed that Saddam Hussein must disarm or face the most serious consequences. Let me make it clear that the burden is resoundingly on Saddam Hussein to live up to the ceasefire agreement he signed and make clear to the world how he disposed of weapons he previously admitted to possessing."

      Senator John Kerry (Democrat, Massachusetts)
      Speech at Georgetown University
      January 23, 2003
      [Link: freedomagenda.com...]
 

"It appears that with the deadline for exile come and gone, Saddam Hussein has chosen to make military force the ultimate weapons inspections enforcement mechanism. If so, the only exit strategy is victory, this is our common mission and the world's cause."

I'm well aware of what you were referring to. Hunter Thompson, who was on the campaign trail at the time, witnessed this incident and creatively reported that Muskie was rumored to have an ibogaine addiction, which resulted in his meltdown. IIRC, HST said that Muskie was probably hallucinating that alligators were chewing at his ankles or something like that.

In this case, Kerry probably thought that lizards were attacking him. ;)

Kerry was against the military before he was for it.

Isn't that fair & balanced enough logic for smart people?

"assorted right wing nut-jobs"

Just the fact that a phrase of this vitriolic weight is considered appropriate for a press release speaks volumes.

Every day I'm given a new reason to thank God/Zeus/the Fates/Allah/etc. that this **** lost the election.

We didn't just dodge a bullet, we dodged a 16" artillery shell. Between his idiocy and arrogance, Terror-ayza's beelions to dump into pro-Balkanization groups like La Raza, and the legions of Clintonista sycophants chomping at the bit to get back into the game of re-engineering America to their Marxist specifications, the Kerry future would have been at least as incompetent and ten times as debilitating as the world according to Bush. It would have been the mid-1990s all over again.

I'm not religious, but the fact that he lost is enough to make me a Believer.

What's Kerry's family history? Is it true he has an ancestral estate in Fwance?

Kerry: A Karl Rove Mole!
Is there no end to Rove's genius?!?

Notice how John Kerry's response take his own initial comments out of context.

Once again proving that the only way for leftist to score points is by lying and taking everything out of context.

John Kerry should be ashamed of himself.

John Kerry - you are the hack.

Poor John! He really stepped in it that time. I guess he can throw away all those AMERICAN GIGILO FOR PRESIDENT signs and bumperstickers.

#49 religion of bacon Edmund Muskie always reminded of the fathers of the girls I used to date. Whenever I went over to their homes for the first time their fathers looked like Edmund Muskie/Casper Weinberger for some reason. Polite but austere looking men.

Moulitsas just had an orgasm.

A lot of talk about distortion, not much on clarification.

Hmmm

Remember in the old days when they used to talk about "Presidential temperament"? Well, whatever that is, Kerry sure doesn't have it.

So... if you're an American Senator and you insult minorities you have to step down from your leadership position, but if you are an American Senator and you insult the military you go on the attack?

I don't get it.

Although I wasn't hoping for him to win, I can't help but feel so badly for Phil Angelides who brought this moron in to help in some sort of last ditch effort. The word,"hapless" comes to mind. I picture Wile E. coyote at the moment he looks at the camera realizing that he threw the grenade pin, but is still holding the grenade in the hand that is plugging his ear.

As for Kerry, if there were the political equivalent of the darwin awards, I'd say, "Please, no more entries. We have a winner" Please, may we be done with him for once and for all, and any candidates he's been stumping for.

I've seen only the last few seconds. Does someone have a link to the entire appearance?

I'm actually in complete agreement with McCain...

34 Frogmarch

John Kerry is a repugnant condescending elitist money-grubbing liberal whore.

See, I would have said "Rudderless, mind-bogglingly Narcissistic, arrogant, empty shell of a man." One anecdote from the 2004 campaign that stands out in my head is Kerry's manager having to take away his cell phone because he was calling all kinds of people in a panic for advice. What kind of grown man needs a babysitter?

The only time he ever stood for anything in his life was when he stood up with the hippies and the Marxists to turn his back on his fellow servicemen (and women). Deep down, these fuckers really do hate everything America stands for. All you have to do is dig a little, or piss them off with a microphone handy. Sooner or later they slip and show their rotten leftist core. They HATE having to fake it for elections, which is why their speeches always sound so strained.

Who wrote that hysterical rant of a reply? It reads like it was spit out of a random meme generator set at 11.

Kerry's miscalculation is that only right wing "nuts" will take offense to his "dumb- soldier" speech. The exact opposite is true. Only a left wing radical would not be offended by it.

Anyway, he just poured gasoline on the flames with that hyperventilating rant. Or his leftie intern did. Should make for some interesting backtracking by JFinK.

Oh and get a screenshot before they pull down that classy response.

Indeed. The MSM would have obliged, but now Lurch has indeed, in the words of #27 Bushleague ``forgetten the first rule of holes'' (vote for rotating LGF Title)

He could have let this melt away as the MSM would have given him cover. He has now guaranteed that the media will focus on his remarks, and worse, guaranteed that the attention will be focused away from Bush, Republicans, Iraq. etc.

Kerry is trying to make up for his lackluster response to the SwiftBoating episode and show he's tough, but instead, he will merely put the Democrats ``off message'' one-week prior to the election and anger Republican partisans and military families who now will go to vote in an anti-Kerry swarm.

Rove couldn't ask for a better gift...

For somebody that arguably committed treason while he was in uniform, Senator Kerry is awfully confident in shooting his mouth off.

I swear, he is simply the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP...is he on Rove's payroll?(LOL)

What amazes me even more is that his fellow dems, who are already perceived as anti-military don't bitch slap him into oblivion.

This audio bite needs to be included in every Republican election ad from now until election day. The guy was their presidential candidate, for goodness sakes.

Not that I'll bother to watch any networks tonight, but you can bet if they mention this story, it'll be spun that Republicans are "attacking" John Kerry.

Mark my words.

INDEED!

I don't want McCain as president but somewhere there is a position for him, perhaps in a new position called Defender of the Military.
I am being serious. I respect him.

All he had to do was issue a faux apology and this entire issue would be consigned to the blogsphere - the MSM would have ignored it. By the hour, this speech is taking on a life of its own. The MSM will probably ignore it until the polling numbers come in this evening or We morning. If their negatives are up in key districts, they will be forced to give it air time. If that happens, all bets are off.

It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have…”

Amazing.

Who do you have more respect for?

All these Senators/Congressman who had to go because of conscription?

Or all the soldiers today who volunteer?

LOL, John Effing Kerry gave Rove his October Surprise! Too sweet!

KOSKids cheering Kerry on:

Getting stuck in Iraq doesn't make you a patriot, it makes you cannon-fodder for the Shrub's political glory.

Not only should Kerry be commended for saying it, he should be admired for the spirit, clarity and sheer in-your-face aggression of his statement quoted in the diary I linked above!

Yay, Kerry!

Actually, That's Just The Cold Hard Truth
If students don't study hard and achieve good things in college, then their future prospects (aka "good job") are nil.

With the Bush economy and Bush job exportation, their prospects are bleak even if they "study hard".

So what's wrong with telling people the truth? Unsuccessful students trying to get a leg up in Bushland may be force to join the military.

In fact, this is where a hell of a lot of Bush recruits come from!

We have to get the Dixie Chicks' stupid conspiracy commercial on the MSM before the election. The left profiteers themselves are offering to pay for it, but the networks refuse out of fear that it will embarrass the Democrats.

Combined with Kerry's ravings and insults it is the ultimate October Surprise: "Surprise, voters, the Dems are conspiracy nuts and unstable 60s throwbacks."

How does that Karl Rove do it?

John F-ing Kerry can kiss my ass. I am STILL serving in the military, have served twice in Iraq, and managed to get a college degree AND a medical degree through my military service. I'm the only member of my family to have a college degree PRECISELY because I served in order to EARN my way, rather than marrying some fugly-harpy ketchup heiress to buy my way into political power.

I wouldn't piss on Kerry if he was on fire. In a sane world, he would have been executed for treason for the Winter Soldier fiasco.

I'd call him an asshole...but assholes actually serve a legitimate purpose.

What a truly flaming hemmorrhoid!

Can it be that Kerry just cost the democrats ANOTHER election?

Kerry says

“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq

Kerry says

and there is no reason Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women

74 Jammiewearing...

Check. The DNC media is in high gear.
Context: Out the window.
CYA mode: Full throttle.

I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

I'm not sure why specialized knowledge stemming from serving in the armed forces would be necessary to react publically to an ex soldiers comments on the education of soldiers presently serving.

Truthfully, it is getting tiring to hear people defend their idiotic statements by stating that, "Since, you aren't a soldier, you can't discuss anything about a war...even if doing so does not require any specialised knowledge to do so"

It doesn't take a 5 star general to know that when someone says that only the least educated are "stuck" in Iraq, its insensitive, factually incorrect & plain mean.

John Kerry can attack "Republicans" for not serving as a cheap way to avoid critism, but let's be honest...he is nothing more then an empty Vietnam-Era Uniform". (An empty uniform that he spat on when he wore it, critisizes today, & brags about only when it can be used to avoid fault.)

Realisticly though, according to the logic being attributed to John Kerry about soldiers, it would actually be beneficial for those who have not served their country (ie: those that are not the "least educated") to comment on such things, as they would in turn be the only ones with enough education & intellegence to do so.

This all said however, I do believe that the entire clip should be made public & not just the soundbite found here on LGF & on Youtube. I would need to know what came before & after this statement (ie: the context) to fully understand his statement.

China cited as N. Korea supplier
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
October 31, 2006

China helped North Korea develop nuclear weapons and in the past year increased its support to Pyongyang, rather than pressing the regime to halt nuclear arms and missile activities, according to a congressional report.
    The final draft report of the U.S.-China Economic Security Review Commission also says that Chinese government-run companies are continuing to threaten U.S. national security by exporting arms to American enemies in Asia and the Middle East.

So... if you're an American Senator and you insult minorities you have to step down from your leadership position, but if you are an American Senator and you insult the military you go on the attack?

I don't get it.

Here, let me modify that a little to explain:

So... if you're a Republican an American Senator and you sneeze inappropriately in a room where there are insult minorities you have to step down from your leadership position, but if you are a Democrat an American Senator and you insult the military you go on the attack?

And the answer to that rhetorical question is, of course, yes...

Chances of Kerry's "chickenhawk" comments making the evening news:

100%

Chances of Kerry's "military people are idiots" comment making the news:

0%

Chances of McCain's rejoinder making the news (except FOX)

0%

I don't think, “...anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq..." I think they know a veteran by the name of John Friggin Kerry who criticized more that 140,000 hero's serving in Iraq.

Jayzuz Keyrist I can't stand that bastard. Even the SOB's Governor is calling for Kerry to apologize - not that bastards apology would be worth the sound-bytes it took to produce it.

So John F Kerry, released those records yet? All of'em? Available for public scrutiny? All of'em?

Not a peep of this on Yahoo or MSN.

Here's our English lesson for today, kids...

English is a powerful language. By simply leaving out two magic words you can easily go from innocent Bush-bashing into turning the US army into a bunch of high-school drop outs.

A source close to Kerry tells NBC News that he was trying to make a "tough and honest joke" about Bush and that in the process he omitted two words which changed the intended meaning. Per the source, Kerry meant to say that he can't "overstress the importance of a great education" and that "if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy... You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." Kerry mistakenly dropped the "getting us" from his initial remarks.

(source: [Link: firstread.msnbc.msn.com...]

Ah, typical. We, the great unwashed, must not see exactly what he was really saying, so they proceed to clarify by detailing the "truth." But what they say is precisely what we understood Kerry to be saying.

And I'd say a few things about Bush, but you'd all be up my ass.

We've had six uninterrupted years of Bush bashing, so take it elsewhere.

And we'd be up your ass for disrupting another Kerry slapdown thread as well.

Semper Fi to all the "real" Vets out there.

#92 Frogmarch:

Yeah, I agree. And Kerry has quite a quandry on his hands. If you don't join the military, you're a chickenhawk or worse, but if you do join the military, you're nothing but mo-rons. Can't have it both ways Senator. Well, you can if you're a cheese eating surrender monkey.

Meanwhile, Give 'em Hell Zell is going to bat for Rick Santorum in PA. Karl Rove, you magnificent bastard!

Great comment from Dirtboy at Free Republic:

"Rove is lucky to have Kerry on the other side - the world's only re-usable political suicide bomber."

Oh yeah, did I mention that Kerry utterly fails to address his comments even once in a press release that was supposedly about his comments. He's good at trotting out the "Bush Boogeyman" on cue, but can't even answer for his own sorry-ass comments.

CBS News and Fox News have the story front and center

Is it too late for the DNC to frag Kerry?

Do you know, I don't think I've seen any political news in the last three months that's made me as happy as this!

Whoever wrote that statement, Kerry approved it, and I bet it just thrills some Democrat who's troubled by the remarks to see him/herself called a "right-wing nut."
Not only does he insult the troops, he insults people who were trying to understand what happened and might - I emphasize might - have forgiven him if he'd just said, "That was a terrible and stupid thing to say. I'm sorry."

Kerry truly is, as others have noted, the gift that keeps on giving.

Via MAlkin:

Hopefully this will bring an end to the Kerry '08 campaign.

And he makes fun of Limbaugh's weight... total class.

Charles, or whoever else can do it, be sure to do a screen grab of this hilarious "response", so the DNC can't shove it down the memory hole when it becomes clear this is a disaster for them.

Listening to Fox News on XM Hope they carry the kerry hari kari.
UPDATE: They are.

John Kerry joined the military and became a swiftboat captian because he wanted to be JFK. He went to war to advance his political career and came home as quickly as he could. He proves this every time he uses his military services to esatablish 'cred' (i.e. 'reporting for duty').

The far lefties that I know cannot comprehend why someone would go and risk their life when they have nothing personally to gain from it. The idea of someone putting their life on the line out of pure patriotism or the desire to help someone else is incomprehensible to most of them.

So that's the story they're going with? HA.

No kidding.

Until I see a script of his speech that is proved to be from before the speech was given I'm calling Kerry a big fat liar.

Is that what a "learned" man would say? LMAO. What a snook. And he believes the American people will elect him in '08? Sure buddy.

#104 eljudio:

From your link:

A source close to Kerry tells NBC News that he was trying to make a "tough and honest joke" about Bush and that in the process he omitted two words which changed the intended meaning. Per the source, Kerry meant to say that he can't "overstress the importance of a great education" and that "if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy... You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." Kerry mistakenly dropped the "getting us" from his initial remarks.

Right, so that's exactly why his response makes no such mention. His comments are exactly what was reported, and his statement does not even attempt to correct the record.

He simply sidesteps his actual comments and attacks those who rightfully castigated Kerry for denigrating those serving in the US Armed Forces.

That he chooses not to correct the record in his statement shows that he meant exactly what he said. There's no other way to spin it, despite that report's claims.

Didn't take long for the Kerry/Kos Koordination Kidz to get together to spurt their version of damage control.

Circle those wagons Assholes!@!@

BWAHAHAHA

That's something I can't figure out--what do these patrician snobs think a HS graduate who can't afford college or doesn't have a clear idea of what they want to be when they grow up or just wants to get out of the 'hood supposed to do that is so much better than joining the military and getting started on some sort of vocation?

Internet pr0n?
Drug mules?
Gang warfare?
XBox in the folks' basement?

Actually, I think the answer lies in the LLL need for government to control people's lives. If you've got a skill you can use to earn a living, you don't need the welfare check, the subsidized housing, etc--you don't need the LLLs!

Kerry has been able to recover from his statements by:

Calling People Fat.

Way to go John!

#118 jpkoch

There's a link on MSNBC's site, but their headline is (of course) negative, talking about employment worries, even as gas prices have fallen.

Again, lifted from the earlier thread on this.

Kerry is just dead-wrong about the education levels of our military forces.

Our military is actually MORE educated than the population as a whole, and the trend is skewing upward.

Hi there.

Slacker mom here.

Let me be the first to say BS

Actually, an RNC ad montage of anti-military Kerry quotes through the ages would be perfect. Just to show how despicable and anti-military the Democrats are.

Also, democrats with half of a brain cell should distance themselves from Kerry.

#124 Abu Maven

And he makes fun of Limbaugh's weight... total class.

Which is the classic "tell" that some LLL doesn't have a clue about the facts and is just repeating the party line!

Rush lost his weight years and years ago. Thus my dig in #32.

122 Jamie

Good. One thing we can be sure of, if Kerry can possibly make a bad situation worse, he will.

Stupid SOB makes a very clear statement that only an idiot could possibly mistake, then blames 'right-wing' hacks.

Let him man a checkpoint of Sadr City - with a watergun.

when I read the Kerry response, I honestly thought I was reading a BlameBush or Scrappleface article.

Kerry, like Clinton, has total contempt for the military. He can talk and talk about being a veteran, but he's never been anything but a self-serving, lie-ridden, gutless weasel.

When Senator Kerry opens his mouth, I hear this:

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us -- if at all -- not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

(~T.S. Elliot)

What a moron this man is. Truly as stupid as his IQ and academic record reflect.

NBC emphasizing the "missing words" gambit. I saw the video, and he didn't stumble at all. Pure unadultered BS, Kerry.

This guy can never be on time. He was scheduled at 2 EST. Still not there.

The President is never late.

I'm glad my son's not in the States to hear this crap. (He's just another loser riding the short bus in Iraq.)

John F*in Kerry couldn't carry his jockstrap.

#120 Dianna,

Whoever wrote that statement, Kerry approved it, and I bet it just thrills some Democrat who's troubled by the remarks to see him/herself called a "right-wing nut."

I used to think that this traitor and hundreds of others just like him were so removed from reality to have the statements from above written for them.

Now I believe what you see is the occasional leak where the political facade is dropped, the prepared statement pushed aside, and the truth bleated out. I've heard Hillary Rotten do it on more than one occasion.

These arrogant bastards really do believe most Americans to be so hopelessly dumb that they need to manage our lives. From health care, to the military, to law, to our money, this is what most of the Dimocratic party stands for - it's their idea of altruism.

As lousy a job as the Republicans have done with everything but the economy and domestic security, there is no way in hell I would ever vote for a Dim candidate that didn't think I could survive without their intervention. They are despicable and statements from the leaders named Gore, Kerry, Rotten Clinton, and countless others prove it.

So Kerry has fired off a salvo.. anyone want to make any wagers how soon it will be before Kerry puffs his chest out and says:

"Bring it on!"

Then cut and runs?

They have nothing but contempt for the military.

For those who have thought about not voting to "punish" the Republicans for whatever reason, you better get used to this crap cause that is what you will get a whole lot more of for the next several years if the Democrats take back over in Congress.

Come election day, I will walk over broken glass and red hot coals if needed to get to the polls and vote Republican, if for no other reason than to jam it to the likes of Kerry.

God Bless all of you Lizards who have bravely served. Don't let these sniveling, self-serving bastards demean or impugn your valiant sacrifice. Time to reclaim your validity and integrity at the polls on Nov. 7th. A heartfelt "thank you" to you, and a humble prayer for you all.

127 - 29Victor

Yes.

I believe John Kerry faked his injuries in Vietnam in order to get his precious political-ice-cream purple hearts that made it so that he could cut and run and abandon his men after 4 months of service. It was all planned for future political aspirations. If not, someone needs to explain why he shot photos of himself acting all macho in the jungle.
If not, someone needs to explain why John Kerry himself still will not release his military records.

Rush is running the press conference too. My local radio station has been playing the clip at every newscast, on the hour and half hour. I am putting on the TV, I just have to see this one.

sheesh, he is continuing to dig.

Senator Kerry is scheduled to appear at a press conference shortly on this issue; I’ll be recording it, and will post the video...

Let the dissembling begin. This ought to be good.

The WH did NOT pick up on this! Bloggers did!

That's it, John-boy, keep digging!

Crystal clear. I apologize to no one for criticising President Bush. WTF?
/Kerry
He is deflecting we have the damn video asswipe.

As usual, he ducks the real issue. Quite a dumbass, this Kerry.

lurch is on fox now

Kerry presser right NOW:

"I appologize to no one for my criticism of the President and his failed policy"

"My statement was about the President, not the troops."

(I say bullshit)

Listening to Kerry

WHite house attempt to distort statement.

Uhhh...We have video.

There he goes...

Watching the press conf.

Kerry already managed to drop the mike... and refuses to apologize... calling his statement "a botched joke."

Dave
Israel At Level Ground

FWIW, this is now the headline at CNN.com.

No way to bury it now.

Perhaps if Kerry puts on his magic CIA hat he'll become invisible and this whole controversy will disappear.

Seriously, I fear the White House will take the high road. The White House will issue a statement taking Senator Kerry off the hook. Something to the effect of:

"President Bush knows John Kerry didn't mean to imply that all American servicemen and women are idiots. Senator Kerry is an honorable man and a patriot, blah, blah, blah,..."

Thereby diffusing the situation. It's a politically advantageous one for the Republicans and it should be brought to a boil, but it won't.

He considers himself a leader?!?!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Listening to JF'nK right now.

The statement was Bushes' fault. Not his.

Bush is playing politics.

Bush lies.

The troops deserve leadership...

That's all I can take. Oh yeah it's Rove too.

Republican campaign strategy?

Who opened your mouth and made you talk words?

F*in Kerry

#104 eljudio

Ah, so it wasn't a "military men are stupid" joke, it was a "Bush was a stupid, lazy student who is President while I'm not" whine.

Do we need to post John F'n Kerry's grades again? Has the douchebag completely forgotten that he was the lazy, possibly stupid student?

my statement was a joke

He seems unaware of this newfangled device called sound recording that produces an exact record of what he REALLY said.

All the administrations fault, he was talking about them, this is a textbook R. campaign strategy, try to make something else the issue, if anyone thinks that a Veteran someone like me ...would somehow serve more than 140K troops serving in Iraq..textbook repu. campaign, he's tired of people trying to make others the butt..

What a phoney! He can't even be honest About what he said! A non apology to the military and go attack Bush.

He is a narassist (SP?) beyond all pale. He cna't ever admit he is wrong.

And yes, it is hiding behind his "service" to the military.

Benedict Kerry. Keep talking Dispshit, You'll sink the dhimmicrats better than anything Karl Rove could.

Ah, yes...a "textbook Republican tactic". The man is imploding before our very eyes.

repeating my post on another thread:

If you want to help genuine veterans Kick Kerry for slandering them and betraying them, send a buck to the Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation @ [Link: www.vvlf.org...] or [Link: www.vvlf.com...]

Help Col. Bud Day (the POW cellmate who saved John McCain from certain death after McCain's plane was shot down by Vietcong) and his gallant guys take Kerry to court & beat him.

I had to turn off the TV. Kerry is such an ass, I can't freaking stand his idiocy.

He's blaming not himself for being a dufus, but the "administration" for misunderstanding him.

I understand. He's an ass.

The John Kerry quote that is making John Kerry take himself out of context.

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

-- John F. Kerry

I am pissed. More then I have been in recent memory. J F*ing sKerry I want your ass. I refuse to have you dare to speak as a veteran. I want you out of my country and I wish I could make it illegal for you to ever reference the fact that you once served.
Loggin off before I totally lose it.

The whole "missing words" thing doesn't fly, either. Bush may not be a rocket scientist, but no one can claim that it is his lack of education (Yale-undergrad, Harvard-MBA) that caused us to "get stuck" in Iraq.

Not to mention -- Kerry voted for the Iraq war, so this whole thing is such bullsh*t.

Karl Rove does it again...

Karl you rock! How did you get Kerry to do this? Again and Again and Again...Dems lose their chance at getting control over the house in 3...2...1..

Ugh, someone get this boob off of the TV

/and I don't mean Janet.

First rat off the ship, from FoxNews:

retired Gen. Wesley Clark suggested Kerry's remarks are not helpful to Democrats in general.

"I cannot explain anything John Kerry said," said Clark, who also ran for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination. Clark added that he's spoken to military leaders about the next troop rotation coming. "They tell me the troops are ready. The families are ready back here. They know what they're facing. It's the best army we've ever had."

October Surprise? Kerry meltdown.

#176 Dirk:

I fear the White House will take the high road. The White House will issue a statement taking Senator Kerry off the hook.

Uh, nope. See the CNN story.

"This is an absolute insult," [Tony] Snow said at a daily press briefing. "Senator Kerry not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who've given their lives in this."

#182 doppelganglander

He seems unaware of this newfangled device called sound recording that produces an exact record of what he REALLY said.

LOL! Good one.

Manly Men in Magic Hats

Gee, he managed to insult the troops again in his 'rebuttal' to the meanies in the White House...I want to know how the evil Carl Rove managed to make Kerry say these things...

Happy Halloween! John F Kerry, your October Surprise.

Now how the hell did Rove manage this one? ;)

Quick--someone call the hospital--he is sick and tired. Lets get him a bed in a sanatarium!

Senator John McCain went through hell for his country from 1967 to 1973. It always awes me to think that he refused to be released from the hell that was the Hanoi Hilton ahead of other men.

He was awarded a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, the Legion of Merit, the Purple Heart, and a Distinguished Flying Cross. I daresay he didn't throw them over the White House fence.

Excellent statement, Senator McCain.

#123 Van Impe

Hopefully this will bring an end to the Kerry '08 campaign.

You must be joking? He's the gift that keeps on giving. Run Lurch Run!

/don't forget Mama T, the Silky Pony, the Plan, the Hamster, the Majic Hat, and the Flyin' Dog

They know I fought for Veterans he says! YES - that is why BUSH gave our military and vets the first raises they have had in decades! What an ass!

..He isn't going to stand for it. this kind of thing makes Americans sick he says...

He is SO done for.

Deeper and deeper, so goes the hole digging...

a steaming pile of excrement

Sheesh, he has brought out the atomic backhoe to dig himself in deeper.

Is it possible that Kerry is trying to sabotage the Dem's chances on purpose?

Can he be hoping somehow that two more years of Repbulican control would help his chances in '08, with this gaffe forgotten by primary time?

Speculation welcome.

Incidentally, my recent attention to conspiracy theories probably reflects the heavy dose of Eurabian media I got during my little trip overseas. To them, 80s style conspiracy theories are still a fresh and daring method of advocacy.

why are they giving this man airtime to spout SHIT !?!

Its been said to remain silent and be thought a fool is preferable to opening one's mouth and confirming that fact. And Sen. Kerry has done the latter TWICE - in only 48 hours.

-S-

This was no "meltdown"

WHat a crock

EVERYTHING these scumbag dems do is calculated.

THis was meant to evoke a response from the right, so Kerry would be justified in holding a "press conference" in which he will make a scathing attack on "chickenhawk right wingers" bla bla bla that the KOStards will eat up

No one will listen to or even report on the McCain response.

PURE CALCULATION- ALL OF IT

When you lack all emotion, you cant have a "meltdown"

#191 Abu Maven:

The whole "missing words" thing doesn't fly, either.

Particularly considering that Kerry himself sorta kinda forget to mention it in his ranting "response".

#5 JD

I second that!

It's not even the main message of his tantrum, but the part I find particularly offensive is,

"No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”

He manages to denigrate the hard work of US & her allies in both those countries, including the Canadian troops in Afghanistan right now, every one of who has served more time than his pathetic 4 months in Vietnam.

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”

Treasonist asshattery aside, the statement itself is comedy gold.

He speaks of education and being smart, yet the sentence is a grammatical nightmare.

wth? Someone ate my previous post!

OK - Johnny boy. You, me and tfk in a room.
Ten minutes. Not even.

Not to pile on but didn't Kerry study in elite Swiss or French schools? So much for his more nuanced international baccalaureate brains.

FrankenKerry, you've made my Halloween Happy.

Like my baby daughter once screamed at me trying to parrot the old man, "I'm TIRED AND SICK!"

KKKos and John Frickin' Kerry - two year olds masquerading as patriots and war heroes.

"I’m not going to be lectured by. . ."

He's used this expression before. Usually people who say this are precisely the people who need one.

And I'd be happy to provide that lecture, Johnny Boy, you piece of shit.

If what we read is correct you didn't earn your medals which makes you unfit to be an American, much less President.

154 Occasional Reader

Lol! Perfect.

So I tuned in and Kerry was just farting the the same loose generalities and bumper sticker slogans with an annoyed pompous "patriotic" tone. Then he started repeating himself over and over and speaking on behalf of what he claimed were the pissed off American people who he was going to "stand up for" for with his noisy nonsense.

Frankly this boob is so stuck in 2004 it's not even funny.

He criticizes the policy with NO specifics implying he is unfamiliar with the policy and just hopes that people don't like it without having seen it.

The funny part is that even if this horse shit actually "sells" Hillary's people will have to take him down to get him out of the way for 2008.

I guess the democrats in the Senate are so convinced of impending election victory that they needed to take this moment to remind us how out to lunch and generally bug fuck they are.

Kerry believes righteous anger makes him virtuous. He has a lot in common with Muslim clerics in that regard.

I wonder what Howard Dean thinks of all this?

/or would that just be Rove putting a cherry on top?

#217 mama winger

Just watch out for tfk. Once he gets the taste of blood, you wanna leave the room.

Maybe this would be a chance to restate that Kerry's definition of "enlisting" is on a par with being turned down for parole and calling that volunteering to serve out your sentence.

That was awkwardly put.

Kerry is fishing to be the next Dean; someone must have floated that idea past him, only thing that makes any sense. Enlist the fringe internet money to repeat the Dean run in '04.

Good luck with that, Long-Face.

I gotta say it:

You know, I got an education and tried to make the most of it, I studied hard and did my homework, and made an effort to be smart, uh, and I did real well, and, uh, I ended up in Iraq.

Gee! hanoi john just won many elections for the RIGHT party, LOLOLOLOL, keep digging s**thead and traitor, and coward and, and, and,...hell I got nothing!

Send your "support" to John! Let him know how you feel. I did.

You sir, are a joke! I thank the Lord today that you did not win in 2004.

My son is in Iraq right now—finishing up a year of duty with the Kansas National Guard. He was a student in college(three semesters from graduation) and chose to move to a unit going to Iraq. He is returning to finish his education at COLLEGE and then become a regular ARMY soldier. He WANTS a career in the military. He was soldier of the cycle when he went through boot camp and came in second for that honor in Iraq (he was beat out by a soldier that had more college hours!).

I and my husband are so proud of him---you insult us when you insult him and the other soldiers and YOU DID insult them! If it weren’t for their and the soldiers that have served over the life of this GREAT NATION, none of us would have freedom of speech.

You sir are a waste of air time!

Someone please explain what a "Katrina foreign policy" is. Does that mean GWB is now going to subcontract sending hurricanes to other countries to Halliburton. God knows those evil hurricanes never got three purple hearts in Vietnam, which in no way helped their political carrier, before the hurricanes turned their back on those with whom they served.

Does merely mentioning a major bungle in local/state government really count as a rebuttal, guess so.

"No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”

When did we leave Afghanistan? Did I sleep through that?

Katrina foreign policy

That little tidbit was what had me convinced that this HAD to be Iowahawk -- tossing in every soundbite since 2004, regardless of whether it made any sense. Sometimes you really can't make this stuff up.

With regard to the election, I fully expect to hear all kinds of "exit polls" by the MSM on election day that the Democrats are sweeping to victory before the polls close. That is to aid and abet their left wing buddies to then file voting fraud suits when they lose.

Forty years later, Kerry shoots himself in foot,,, again.

And the unkindest cut of all - John Kerry will never be president.

OK. So I’m also an Army Vet and a Republican.

When I was young and dumb (I was young and dumb). I was a 17 year old genius with a High School diploma (GPA 1.0+!) and just about enough money for a tank of gas.

I barely had enough sense to realize that there had to be a better life outside the trailer park, and if I wanted a chance to taste it I had better come up with some ideas pretty quick. Mom agreed to sign the papers the Recruiter brought over and off I went.

Thank God for the U.S. Army and all the NCO’s and Officers that taught me more in those years than I can go into here. I decided to use the GI bill to go on to college. I got my degree without a penny of debt and have spent my working career in Production and Operations Management for the past 25 years.

So what’s your point there Big John? Are my accomplishments in life less significant or honorable because I joined the Army from the wrong side of the tracks with a piss-poor academic record? Or is it just that everybody that would join the Military is a bunch of losers?

No, I think what really galls you is the fact that a filthy little white trash punk like [I was] had a way to haul myself up out of the dump and make something of myself without going through the Democrat Party Welfare apparatus.

I also think you find it inconceivable that there are Men and Women even better than me that would choose to serve their country even when they have the resources to be in any other occupation or way of life.

God help me if I ever cease to be grateful to those that serve for whatever reason. I will never be like JF'nK, and I will do everything in my power to keep elitist hypocrites like JF'nK from ever commanding the Armed Forces again.

White House, Kerry in Feud Over Iraq Remarks

White House (AP) -- A White House spokesman is accusing John Kerry of troop-bashing, after the Massachusetts senator told college students to study hard so they don't ``get stuck in Iraq.''

Press Secretary Tony Snow called on Kerry to apologize for what Snow called an ``insult'' to men and women serving in Iraq, and to the families of the fallen.

Kerry lashed back, saying he refuses to apologize for any criticism of what he calls the ``failed'' U-S policy in Iraq.

At a news conference today, Kerry said his remarks at the school were just a ''botched joke'' about President Bush and his people. But, he adds, if anyone owes the American troops an apology, it's Bush and his policy team.

Van Helsing - Are you still here? I just saw your post that your son had arrived in Kuwait.

Like you needed this crap today... . . my prayers headed your way, then up.

My son is in Iraq right now—finishing up a year of duty with the Kansas National Guard. He was a student in college(three semesters from graduation) and chose to move to a unit going to Iraq. He is returning to finish his education at COLLEGE and then become a regular ARMY soldier. He WANTS a career in the military. He was soldier of the cycle when he went through boot camp and came in second for that honor in Iraq (he was beat out by a soldier that had more college hours!).

I salute your brave and good son. Wonderful, just wonderful.

I think you're calling the wrong person "filthy little white trash punk"..it's not you it's him. You earned your position in life he married and bought his. God bless you for your service to our country.

Here is a video copy of Traitor John's 1971 remarks to the United States Congress -

John Kerry - just what can you say?
Singlehandedly made Karl Rove's day
He insulted the troops
Covered up with pure poop
Oh, he's smart - in a dumb-assy way

But it goes so much further than that
More than just a good pre-voting spat
It's his core that he shows
When he looks down his nose
And blames Bush for all this and all that

He can't see that his words were not right
He just preens to look tough in a fight
A press conference to look showy
(And call Limbaugh doughy)
Dissembling with all of his might

And he wants us to think Bush is dumb
(Even unworthy of opposable thumbs)
But his own grades were worse
What a terrible curse
To be so smart and to lose when you run

You see it's not about what you say
When you're superior in so many ways
The rabble must see
That to him it's just "Me"
And designs on his first thousand days

Stands and applauds!

Brigitte Gabrielle was just on Fox News with David Asman. She was absolutely right-on saying the Iranian-backed insurgents are cheering Kerry and the democrats...basically they feel they are succeeding in breaking the will of America with "mouthpieces" like Kerry doing their work for them.

Charles, can you get any clips of that interview?

Welcome to LGF...now learn how things are done round here :D

I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

I'm not sure why specialized knowledge stemming from serving in the armed forces would be necessary to react publically to an ex soldiers comments on the education of soldiers presently serving.

Truthfully, it is getting tiring to hear people defend their idiotic statements by stating that, "Since, you aren't a soldier, you can't discuss anything about a war...even if doing so does not require any specialised knowledge to do so"

It doesn't take a 5 star general to know that when someone says that only the least educated are "stuck" in Iraq, its insensitive, factually incorrect & plain mean.

John Kerry can attack "Republicans" for not serving as a cheap way to avoid critism, but let's be honest...he is nothing more then an empty Vietnam-Era Uniform". (An empty uniform that he spat on when he wore it, critisizes today, & brags about only when it can be used to avoid fault.)

Realisticly though, according to the logic being attributed to John Kerry about soldiers, it would actually be beneficial for those who have not served their country (ie: those that are not the "least educated") to comment on such things, as they would in turn be the only ones with enough education & intellegence to do so.

This all said however, I do believe that the entire clip should be made public & not just the soundbite found here on LGF & on Youtube. I would need to know what came before & after this statement (ie: the context) to fully understand his statement.

"If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they’re crazy."

If I parse this right, what John Fargin' is saying is that you may only criticize the 140,000 if you also criticize the President, which he does, so he can criticize the 140,000. And he still has the hat!

Botched joke my a**. Hell, his ilk were saying the same thing about Viet Nam. He's trying to say, "I was trying to make a joke about Bush". Yeah.

The botched joke was his 2004 campaign.

F*ck Kerry in the worst possible way. Become his worst sexual nightmare. Let the sights, sounds, smells, and tactile sensations become living horrors to him.

John Kerry's secret to success was being born into wealth and then marrying greater wealth - twice. It's a great job if you can get it. Along the way he parlayed defaming the troops into a senate seat. If Kerry's not ripping our troops in the most insulting ways possible he's not being true to himself.

Kerry believes righteous anger makes him virtuous. He has a lot in common with Muslim clerics in that regard.

But then again, Pat, at his "press conference" he had to read from a sheet of paper.. you'd think if you were that "righteous" you wouldn't need a crib sheet, it would come from your heart.

This man, has no heart, and barely a soul.

McCain is exactly right of course. Kerry's remark about debating real men is laughable. He wouldn't know a real man if he saw one--and given the crowd he hangs with, it's very unlikely he will.

We have family members who signed up for the army, one at age 17, right after 9/11. He decided to defer college to serve his country in a time of war. He was nearly killed twice in his first tour and is currently in his second tour in Iraq. His brother just returned a few months ago.

My husband's family lost a son last year in a roadside bomb in Iraq. He had been married less than a year and had finished his master's degree the year before.

What the Kerry's and Sheehan's of this world simply don't understand is that there are people who genuinely care about the future of our country and the world and are doing something about it. To question their integrity, bravery and patriotism is beyond contempt.

I think Jesus said it best in the gospel of John 15 "13) Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his another."

I saw Kerry live on CNN and he made me physically sick.

This is the new Democrat style—nasty, insulting, and in your face.

Ummm, Charles - it ain't new. :-(

Kerry was for the troops before he was against them
