Earlier, their bus convoy pulled over at a Wendy's fast food restaurant for a photo opportunity lunch that provided an awkward moment.
Spotting a group of US Marines, Kerry, who has made his Vietnam War service a cornerstone of his campaign, went over to chat. The Marines, who all turned out to be staunch Bush reporters, were not impressed.
"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one of them told reporters afterwards. "I'm 100 percent against" Kerry, he said. "We support our commander-in-chief 100 percent."

On http://www.blogsofwar.com/categories/election-2004/ there is a picture of Kerry with his finger in this young Marine's chest and the Marine with his fists balled up. Its priceless!

I'm surprised Kerry would try to talk to these guys at all -- he should know how much liberal, anti-military, anti-freedom ideology is disliked by the military.
I hope he learned a lesson. In the future, I suspect he'll campaign far away from anyone in uniform.

I salute these Marines for their self-control. He would have drawn back a nub instead of that grotesque elongated overly-manicured digit.

Nothing surprising about this story. Kerry is best advise to avoid Marines in public.

Why do Marines get a Pass?
kerry should avoid ANY Veteran from any Service, especially WWII Vets.
kerry should just avoid real people... period.
