I tell you, this picture looks like Kerry got po-ed that this Marine wasn`t kissing his butt for this photo-op, and Kerry went into his "Do you know who I am" routine.

The Marine sitting down in the picture looks like he'd like to get up and break Kerry's finger!

Kerry Offends Marines at Wendy's

The pompous piece of sh*t, Kerry, offends always. He is a sick man, delusional, and when he loses this election and Teraaaaaaaaaayza splits on him, he will either be found hanging somewhere or he'll be out making another Vietnam reinactment film. What a total fraud!

"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one Marine said, adding, "I'm 100 percent against [him]."

Political concern focused on being elected and not considering the importance of the position sought after can lead a politician to personal and political demise!

Notice that Kerry's pointing his finger in an aggressive manner and the Marine has his fist clinched? There's a lot of tension in this scene.

You don't use that kind of body language to anyone unless you're willing to follow it up with an arss kicking.

Let's all thank the secret service for letting it play out. It may just get to the point where Kerry demands all the military are removed from his appearances.

Being a southerner with manners, Edwards knows how to behave to those lower in social status to you. You treat them extra politely. Kerry is just an obnoxious damned yankee who thinks marrying a fortune and making a living off other peoples taxes innoculates you from having manners.

I was with a large group of Vietnamese outside CBS' New York News operation the Sunday the Democrats held their debate in NY. Very loud and very clear, the Vietnamese yelled:

I first became acquainted with Marines when I roomed with a future-Marine in my first year in high school (a military boarding school). My best friend in college went into the Marines (and sadly, was killed in the barracks bombing in Beiruit).

Nothing has changed in all these years... Marines are still the most honorable folks on the planet... they still have my deepest gratitude for all they have done for this country over the years.

I would have loved to see that Marine deck Kerry on the spot... but then Marines are above that... they have self-discipline.... which makes them so effective.

Hang in there Marines... many of us civilians do appreciate you, and I now regret not being more vocal about these truths over the years!

Kerry also employed Paul Revere's famed midnight run and imagery of Bunker Hill to bash President Bush over U.S. intelligence failures.

"These are the places where people dared to stand up and put their lives on the line — to take a risk — for something they believed in very deeply," Kerry said of the Boston neighborhood where he was speaking.

"One if by land, two if by sea, and the message was right. Come to think of it, they had better intelligence than we do today about what's going on," Kerry continued, drawing the loudest applause of the event.

Let me see - Kerry spent eight years on the Senate Intelligence Committee - and he voted to cut the budget. Hey Johnny, this is not a good issue for you.

In Harrisburg, Kerry noted that there was more bad news coming out of the financial markets yesterday, with oil prices reaching new highs and economic growth limping along at three percent.

I heard a talking head say that the market wasn't going to like Kerry bashing the Saudis in his speech. Wonder if this is the market reaction.

Just look at the eyes. The Marine standing was doing everything possible to avoid decking him.

Frankly, I'm surprised the Secret Service didn't find this Senaturd's feet sticking out of a trash can, Marine restraint, must be.
