John Kerry Blames Rush Limbaugh for Iraq Blooper

NewsMax ^

[PeskyOne]

I don't listen to Imus, so I wonder if he allowed Kerry to get by with that flip/flop, distortion, or just plain outright lie? John Kerry insults the intelligence of everyone when he suggests we don't understand what he said and Rush or someone else has to explain it to us. His problem is, WE DO UNDERSTAND, and people are much more intelligent and political savvy than he gives them credit for. "Terazzah's" money hasn't afforded him common sense....just more arrogance!

Oh Boy!!!!! Rush is gonna clean his clock today!!!!!

[Ramcat]

"You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right,"

Whenever, I hear anybody say "to be honest with you", I know what follows will be less than honest.

And who's surprised that only people on the right are making anything of his statements?

I guess we should count our blessing to have brothers John and Howard out front?

[Brilliant]

What he meant to say, he insisted, was: "After three years, Iraqis ought to be capable of searching a home ... It's inexplicable that when the biggest killers in Iraq are suicide bombers and IEDs, improvised explosive devices, that we're still on the front lines going into homes and going out in the dead of night. And it scares people."

Would it scare them any less if it were Iraqis doing these searches?

[Samwise]

Kerry is and always has been a pompous anti-American ass.

[sgtbono2002]

It expires when the people of Massachusetts grow a brain.

Dont look for it to happen any time soon.

[dawn53]

LOL!

So the US soldiers shouldn't be going in "terrorizing" the Iraqi women and children, but it's okay for the Iraqi forces to do so...he really backed himself into a corner on that one, either way you interpret it, he's badmouthing the military, ours and the Iraqi's.

What an idiot! If John Boy doesn't decide to go on national TV and then proceed to say something utterly stupid, then NO one could make anything of it. But then again personal responsibiloity was never his forte.

Anybody that wears a Mickey Mouse shirt and a cowboy hat to work is not exactly what I call a SERIOUS talk show host.

[daviscupper]

And Rush was never sent to Cambodia by President Nixon, before Richard Nixon was President.

[RasterMaster]

Kerry was just reminiscing the days of his "tour" in Vietnam when he 'raized villiages...all in the fasion of Jengis Khan'.

[Retired COB]

Good post.

BTW, which subs?

[Sweetjustusnow]

When are these traitors going to be thrown out of office?! I can't believe that they are allowed to hold their positions and undermine our war effort. There was a time in this country when not only would this not have been tolerated but the people who did this would be tried for treason.

[goresalooza]

If jean le french kerry wasn't so mortally STUPID and CLUELESS, he wouldn't have to continually extricate his foot from his big French mouth.

[dfwgator]

Whenever, I hear anybody say "to be honest with you", I know what follows will be less than honest.

Or it implies that the rest of the time, they weren't being honest.

[proud American in Canada]

It's Rush Limbaugh's fault that he misspoke, just like it was the "&*#^@" (I'm quoting Kerry) Secret Service's fault that he fell down while skiing.

What a jerk.

[Landru]

"The one-time top Democrat..."

I sure hope not.

Life would be so much more difficult without the guy.

...& his big mouth.

[BallyBill]

"I'm trying to help our soldiers. We all are."

Who's we sucka? My idea of helping our soldiers must be different than most Democrats.

[cgbg]

If Kerry spoke the truth without thinking he would he would said that he wanted to kill American soldiers. It has always been his dream to be in the trenches on the enemy side.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Kerry was "up river" when he made the remark.
