You can’t say that, you’ll hurt there feelings, pass a law, outlaw it. make americans criminals. Liberals

The fact is, he is a United States Senator, and he should know how to express himself better than that. And if he leaves out an important word–or an important sentence–he should apologize without having to go on a diatribe about others’ misdeeds.

Because irrespective of what he might have meant, what he said was f’d up.

Kerry was talking to students about education. Democrat students. He knows how to work his audience. His comment was meant to make them feel elitist. It worked. The only problem was that Kerry hasn’t adjusted to the 21st century. Nothing he says is private anymore. It’s all disseminated on the internet within moments. So he says one thing to one group, an opposite thing to another group, all with the purpose of energizing the group he is talking to. Unfortunately, much of what he says contradicts in embarrassing ways.

Forget partisanship. I am frankly surprised that NOBODY has pointed out to him the way in which he puts his foot in his mouth all the time. Maybe they do, but he goes off the cuff too much. At any rate, to watch him first defend his comments with insults, then water his comments down to try to explain himself, then to say it was a botched joke, was all rather pathetic.

Even more pathetic are the poor souls who defend him in his ignorance. Kerry just isn’t a very good leader. There are other democrats who would do a better job. I just don’t understand it. But then, I’m not a democrat.

I’m not so thrilled with Pres. Bush, but I’m very glad he’s not Pres. Kerry.

Did you notice the “gasps” in the audience at Jean Clod Kerry’s little “zinger”? Those college students had the smarts to know exactly what he was saying.

And your little exercise in straw dancing doesn’t even make sense. President Bush was a better student, gpa and sats, then Kerry… so the “education” line was definitely aimed at the US military.

The Left is entirely suspicious and contemptuous of members of the US military. Kerry is their standard bearer and he hasn’t been a military supporter for over 30 years.

BTW…I’m no “girl” Terry. I’m a 52 year old woman … wife, mother, grandmother.

But I realize, “progressives” are allowed to be as dismissive of women as they are of gays, blacks and other minorities that wander off the Left plantation.

My jaw just dropped. Ever hear of Winter Soldier? His entire career in politics is based on his attack on the military.

I would like to talk on behalf of all those veterans and say that several months ago in Detroit we had an investigation at which over 150 honorably discharged, and many very highly decorated, veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia. These were not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command. It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit - the emotions in the room and the feelings of the men who were reliving their experiences in Vietnam. They relived the absolute horror of what this country, in a sense, made them do.

They told stories that 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 Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

We call this investigation the Winter Soldier Investigation.

– John Kerry, testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, April 22, 1971

You know, Terry, as much as the left likes to co-opt the term “swiftboating,” the Swift Boat Veterans were RIGHT. It’s the media and the left (interchangeable for the most part) who memed them to death, saying they were “discredited.”

Where’s Kerry’s 180? Why can’t we find out what his discharge status was? Why is it only a handful of men who served with him back him up, unlike all the others who speak of him otherwise? And isn’t his Congressional testimony, which was bullshyte, enough to make you see he has no problem speaking negatively about the military? You know, he’s one of those who thinks that because he spent four months in Vietnam that he gets to say whatever he wants about the military for the rest of his life. I know the type, “hey, I served, I can say that.” B.S.!

He is a disgrace and has no honor. He is not fit to serve as County Dog Catcher, much less the US Senate or, God forbid, the Presidency. He should RESIGN, even if he hadn’t had this latest bout with rectal oration. And frankly, Terry, you do yourself no favors by continuing to defend this heinously dishonorable, pathetic, arrogant excuse for a man. Even others in his party are blasting him for inappropriateness; only the extremist amateurs on the internet are continuing to try to push the lame spin.

George Bush isn’t the one who has divided the country. That has been done by the Democrats who would rather play partisan politics because of their temper tantrum over losing the last two elections than do what’s best for the country.

John Kerry meant exactly what he said, and he’s laughing up his sleeve at you boys who believe his “botched joke” line.
