He's a piece of human excrement.

[RichInOC]

And as I said before, it's just as well. He'd probably hurt himself with it.

[OKSooner]

BTTT.

"NYT headline if Bush had said it: Bush Regrets He Can't Shoot Kerry." No doubt.

[Doomonyou]

Rush just commented on this.

[bereanway]

If this clown had it his way no one would be able to take it anywhere!!!

[stockpirate]

The Kerry campaign hs a campaign button that has Kerry aiming a gun at Bush and the caption is "Kerry hunts Bush".

(On Gun Gift, Kerry makes thinly veiled threat on President's life)

You honestly believe that? Give me a break.

[xzins]

Why would he need a gun at the debates?

Who would he shoot?

What is he suggesting!!??

Were this the other way around, the MSM would be frothing to report this and demand a retraction.

[thirteen stars]

why are liberals so stupid and annoying? it seems like most of them have no class

[dasboot]

Another Freeping Rushbot! (me too)

I like this "They Said It!" series. Very Madison Ave.

[spodefly]

Perhaps the Secret Service should watch this 'gun nut' who has issued vailed threats against the President.

[RS]

No problem, Bush will not get wounded by someone else and run away to hide so Kerry could dispatch him.

[sarasota]

Kerry knows that the only way to beat Bush is to off him.

[freeperfromnj]

Looks like we didn't have to wait for Hannity's show to come on. It's already news.

[Fast1]

Typical girlie man probably would try to use it for a golf club.

[pointsal]

WHAT!!

[spodefly]

Those threats would be 'veiled' ... man ... I gotta start using spell check.

[Wil H]

Get a life everyone, it was a joke.

He didn't threaten the President, in fact he was sbemoaning the fact that he couldn't use it.

If you interpret his comment correctly you will see that he was inadvertantly conceding that he needs massive help to beat Bush.

[smonk]

foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish comment.

I recall in the primaries that his handlers said (anonymously, of course) that kerry said flat stupid things when he got tired; the 87 billion dollar comment was an example. I wonder if he thinks that running for president is NOT exhausting? this guy is road kill.

[StarCMC]

He's a piece of human excrement.

Actually I think you're being too nice....

[Doomonyou]

And I'm at work, sheesh. I gotta get busy!

[mom-7]

What a jack---.

[UsnDadof8]

it should be followed by "...but all he came home with was Theresa"

[Chad Fairbanks]

I've had visits from the Secret Service to my house for less than this...

[StarCMC]

Thanks for the ping... I'd gladly duel this idiot!! He he he!! Hubby doesn't call me dead-eye for nothing!

[Americanwolf]

boy imagine that thin veil threats on the president's and senators lives back in 71' with vvaw. And now a humorous yet dangerous message to his supporters today.

"Hey Kerry you ever think that one of your liberal idiots might take that thought a step to far?..."

[altura]

It was his idea of a joke.

Hint to Kerry: don't try to joke.

Other hints:

drop the hero thingee
stop windsurfing (for now)
stop dragging the old lady around.

[WashingtonSource]

This stupid comment should harm him -- if it gets the right coverage in the press, a very big IF.

[kassie]

kerry is a perfect example of an idiot.

[MJY1288]

Maybe Kerry can use the Shot Gun to go Deer hunting (Photo Op) while crawling on his belly again :-)

[MEG33]

The MSM is under the microscope and we will keep them there.They don't like it and it will be a long time til they finally accept that it will be spread by bloggers and forums....so....

They look like they are hiding things..they become less and less trusted in their biased reporting...GOOD.

[sarasota]

Agreed. Just how are guys like Matthews, Olberman and Scarboro going to talk while they're eating crowburgers? and what, in fact, will they say?

[Awestruck]

Wil, I think it's YOU who need to get a life if you can't tell sarcasm without a tag.. what everyone is pointing to here is the outrageous headlines that would appear if Bush had said the exact same thing.. you know it's true. The liberal press and networks would be saying that Bush made a death threat against Kerry.

[kjam22]

Other hints:

drop the hero thingee stop windsurfing (for now) stop dragging the old lady around.

This guy needs to get caught with a young staffer or something to get some positive press. :)

[hershey]

That poses a question. Do the Secret Service guys make a note of this remark and keep all sharp objects and guns away from Kerry when he's anywhere near GW? They should start a file on him.

[blackie]

Maybe he was planning on another self inflicted wound. :):)

[MEG33]

LOL!

[steveegg]

"Hey Kerry you ever think that one of your liberal idiots might take that thought a step to far?..."

That's Ketchup Boy's only hope of winning.

[RS]

"kerry is a perfect example of an idiot."

Somewhere in Massachusetts.... come to think of it, the villages there have plenty of spare idiots...

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

This was a "joke" probably in Kerry's twisted mind, but not funny whatsoever!

[Rome2000]

What the hell did he mean by that statement?

He is a mental case.

Somebody ought to report him to the secret service.

[RockinRight]

It was not a serious threat. However, it was a stupid and unfunny joke. Like everything else Kerry says.

[swheats]

Yes, he does need massive help, and apparently he's joking about using the gun to remove Bush from the equation during the debate. Bemoaning the fact that his secret dreams would be to use the gun to kill someone.

If he didn't mean it as I understood it he should have considered the consequences of his visual.

Bush uses tax code books to get his point across of his future plans. Kerry uses a gun...there's something wrong with this picture.

[N. Theknow]

John F'n Kerry - The Great White (rice) Hunter

[RandallFlagg]

Okay. The funny part will come when Kerry tries to worm his way out of this one.

Everyone get your beebers ready!

[Rome2000]

Get a life everyone, it was a joke.

No way.

You don't joke about shooting the CIC in wartime unless you are a treasonous subversive, oh wait, I forgot, he is a treasonous subversive.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The real problem with stupid comments like this is that it makes actual reference to possible violence to the President.

In this day and age, that's not smart. Some might even say it's intentional.

That's how it works with Manchurian Candidates.

[freespirited]

But the DNC goes berserk over the purple heart bandaids.
