Live Thread: Kerry on Imus (starts 7:29 EST 09/15/04)
Imus Radio Show ^ | 09/15/04 | Don Imus

Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will be the guest at 7:29 am eastern. Senator Kerry has a lot of convincing to do, beginning with the I-Man.. whose support has waned in recent weeks. Despite several polls to the contrary, both campaigns acknowledge a 5-6 point lead for President Bush. Many analysts say it's a result of a post convention bump, and the GOP's ability to make the focus of the election national security and Kerry's record. The challenge for the Senator is to now put the emphasis back on domestic issues while separating the War in Iraq from the War on Terrorism. Can he turn the tide while continuing to play defense? Can he turn all the anti-Bush sentiment into a spark that ignites the Democratic base? Does he think it will ultimately come down to the debates? Will he finally be able to clearly frame his views on Iraq? Is John Edwards the VP candidate he thought he would be? John Kerry has his work cut out.. but, he can take a big step forward on Wednesday morning when/IF he answers the tough questions from IMUS.

hahaha....he NEVER meant to impune all soldiers with his statements on Vietnam...

(kerry)He told the TRUTH about it, but he "regrets" some people are still upset about it.

(kerry)He had the COURAGE to stand up and tell the truth - he's insufferable.... please God let this be a landslide against this liar.

Now defending his 1971 testimony. Good came from my testimony. I was not impugning all soldiers. We had an assassination program, and that is no longer done. I told the truth about what was happening in Vietnam. I regret that some people are upset with what happened at that time. I told the truth, if people I have trouble with that, I'm sorry.

Why can't we see your military records? Is everything available? Kerry says Yes. Maybe some medical stuff held back. End of that line of questioning too.

He "told the truth" when he got back from Vietnam? So he did commit attrocities? I can't believe he is not backing down at all from his statements in 1971.

Kerry: "We've posted my military records that they sent to me" on his web site

What the hell does that mean? That they sent to him?

Imus never mentions the "Form 180"

Speaking of Oil For Food, FNC's David Asman is hosting a special on the subject this Sunday evening on FNC at 9 pm EST. Should be interesting. The Kerry campaign might want to tune in.

That's interesting.
That is like that old joke where an earnest attorney stands up and says, right now, the guilty person is going to walk through that door.
Any minute now, the guilty person will walk in.
Everyone turns around - except the defendant.

I didn't mean to impugn all soldiers, Kerry said. There were a whole bunch of things, like CIA assasination squads, and I'm sad a bunch of people are angry about what I said.

Good job Imus is doing! "To the best of my knowledge, everything in my military record is posted on my website". Imus just forced Kerry to lie. Kerry finely tuned it by covering his butt, and altering that to "everything the Navy released to me at first", is on my website.
