BOB KERREY'S DEFENSE OF JOHN KERRY ON "MEET THE PRESS."
Read the whole transcript. Overall, it was a bumbling performance, but let me point out two things he said. First:
One thing we know about Osama bin Laden, his whereabouts, he's not in Iraq. By the way, for the American people, this guy is a mass murderer. You know, he's Jeffrey Dahmer times a thousand. So nobody should listen to him with any sympathy. Nobody should listen to him and try to make their decision about who they're going to vote for based upon what he says. We need to track this guy down and arrest him or kill him, one of the two.
Arrest him? ... Put a bullet through his head, dump him in a swine pen, and move on to the next Islamofascist. We're at war with people who want all Americans dead and out of the way, led by this insane Moongod worshipper. Arrest him! Hah!
Message to any dem named Kerry,NO S##T.
Bob Kerrey has mental issues.
Though in Kerrey's case ....
One of the things I can't understand is why the MSM and dems in general think that we can't do more than two things at once. Are they really that simple minded? Most managers run more than one project at once. Even if it's a big project (like the WOT) you break it into several smaller ones.
Seriously, don't you think that it is the most obvious question for a REAL reporter to ask Bob Kerrey: "Senator, were you a war criminal?", and "Did you see war crimes being committed on a regular basis, but did nothing about it?" etc.
Bob Kerrey must also believe that Hollywood movies are "real" to have said this garbage about bin Laden's video..."...He's still alive and well, obviously."...
He must also think that King Kong stormed the Empire State Bldg., and that he may meet Daffy Duck at a Seven-11 some afternoon.
Maybe he needs a tour of some Hollywood studios.
And Hillary leaked "information" that Kerrey may have been involved in a war crime. Yes, it was highly suspect information about a firefight at a village at night, but it pretty much convinced Bob Kerrey to vote to acquit "The Bent One" and then leave the Senate for academia.
MR. KERREY: They were hurt by it.
MR. RUSSERT: Should he apologize?
MR. KERREY: I think he--this is what I think he should say. I tried to end this war, along with lots of other returning veterans. . . I think--yes, I think he needs to acknowledge that he hurt people. I think it would go a long ways to defusing some of the pain that Vietnam veterans feel. And I know that he feels this personally. I know he understands that.
An apology would seem, at most, like good manners, but would have no further meaning beyond that unless it was coupled with a statement to withdraw from the race out of regret for the pain and suffering he caused this nation and his fellow servicemen. Otherwise such an apology would be seen merely as the calculated BS that it is.
Kerry's character precludes such a sincere admission of guilt. For Kerry there is no one to apologize to, because other people don't really exist for him as other people, but only as objects out there in the environment to be manipulated for his ends. He is all that exists: who could there be to apologize to?
If it is any consolation, way down deep, at a level almost too scary for him to even imagine, there is a place where he knows how shameful and treasonous his words and actions have been. But even though he senses with apprehension that this place exists inside him, it is so painful that he will never go there, and his whole life has been and will be a desperate, frantic effort to avoid the horrible emptiness of that place.
In his "Confessions", St. Augustine says to God, "Matters are so arranged at your command that every disordered soul is its own punishment". Amen.
I could have sworn hearing that the 9/11 Commission members agreed not to speak on behalf of either candidate.
Guess not.
It was the same game as Nightline on the Bay Hap: get a bunch of VC murderers to relate a semi-convincing story under the watchful eyes of Communist Party minders and translators.
I was defending Kerrey from that circus even when he wouldn't defend himself. Because even if the VC story was true, they were VC, to whom murder, kidnapping, torture, and other horrors were tools of the trade. The women just as well as the men (and where were the men that night anyway).
One cannot believe anything coming from the mouth of the VC, either in 1968 or in 2004.
Shall I say it then?
Narcissist.
Bob kerrey also said, on MTP, that Sadam was NOT a terrorist..
