Kerry’s Non-Apology
Accuses Americans of Being
Too Stupid to Understand Him

(SAN FRANCISCO) – The chairman of the nation’s largest pro-troop organization, Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org ) has issued the following statement rejecting the non-apology by Senator John Kerry for his comments belittling the intelligence of U.S. Troops in Iraq.

STATEMENT BY MELANIE MORGAN, CHAIR – MOVE AMERICA FORWARD

“Your non-apology is not accepted, Senator Kerry.

“John Kerry has done it again! He has sunk to a new low by managing to insult the American people and members of the United States military in his issuance of a non-apology. Rather then apologizing for the hurtful words he used, he instead says he regrets that his words were misinterpreted? [Source: Kerry statement, “I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted ” ]

“So apparently it is the fault of the American public, news media and the men and women of the United States Military for not being smart enough to understand what Senator Kerry meant to say?

“The American public understands what he really said. There is no mistaking his contempt for our troops. He has a long history of name-calling, and now he refuses to apologize for his conduct. Instead he says it’s all our fault.

“Shame on you, Senator Kerry.”

-- Melanie Morgan

First he insulted the troop's intelligence.

Now, he's insulting ours.

I wonder how much that pic of the troops with the banner had to do with Kerry's latest insulting attempt at damage control...?

Liberals CANNOT APOLOGIZE ~ IT WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO ASSESS THEIR ACTIONS AND SAY THEY WERE WRONG, so instead we get more insulting behavior wrapped in what he THINKS is an apology. Kind of like that episode on Seinfeld where the AA guy apologizes to Jerry but not George and then sort of apologizes but not really because he WAS NEVER SORRY FOR WHAT HE DID...just like this case~Kerry wasn't SORRY for what he SAID - just SORRY HE WAS TAKEN TO TASK ON SAYING IT!

That's it in a nutshell.

Chris Matthews called the American Legion just pawns of the White House for their complaint against Kerry.

That's one of the greatest things (that banner made by the troops and the pictures mailed back home) that I've seen in a long time. I love it!

Hello,

That is exactly what I thought the moment I heard the text of what Fox News is now calling an "apologetic statement". Notice they didn't call it an apology? That's because it is not....

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Fox News (John Gibson) is interviewing Mitt Romney about this and Romney says this isn't really an apology and it's two days too late, and all the while Romney is talking they are showing on the split screen pictures of Kerry as an anti-war protester! LMAO!!

The problem about demanding an apology is, what do you do after you get one?

Which is why you never heavily pressure for an apology.
