FLASHBACK: KERRY JOKES ABOUT 'ASSASSINATIONS'
drudgereport ^ | 25, march | Matt Drudge

Posted on 03/25/2004 3:51:47 PM PST by aft_lizard

Dem presidential candidate John Kerry lashed out at President Bush over self-deprecating jokes made at this year's Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner.

But Kerry himself has had trouble with pushing the humor envelope.

"Somebody told me the other day that the Secret Service has orders that if George Bush is shot, they're to shoot Quayle," Kerry joked in 1988. The Massachusetts Democrat then said, "There isn't any press here, is there?"

It's OK to joke about assassination, but not WMDs.

Would this qualify as another Flip-Flop?

Kerry's going to find out that running for President in the Internet age is a whole lot different than getting his ass kissed all day long by sycophants in the Senate cloakroom.

Where do the Democrat's find these sick characters? Spokesman for a group that votes on assassinating senators and cracks jokes about assassinating presidents and veeps?

The question isn't "why is this guy being considered for president"...the question is "why isn't this guy in an insane asylum or prison?"

That's because his side is getting it's 'blubber' kicked!

As Argus says above, it's the Internet Age, and there is no escaping us. :)

Yeah, these bloodlust victims disgust me. Call me a masochist, but I'm looking to see where they are going to get one step ahead. ;-)

Kerry is a souless, hate-filled individual with a dark, very dark side.

Matthews is turning my stomach. Truly the left has become unhinged and bordering on insane.

bordering?????

We have a local Sheriff's race that just got dirty.

The Dem is claining Republican plots when the Dems outnumber Rebubs 20:1 in this area.

They have gone berzerkly!
