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

Meanwhile maybe we should have a running list of the Beltway commentators that seem to have no problem with endorsing Kerry's view that we're all idiots that will gulp up an insulting nonapology apology.

From NRO...

Kerry's Apology [Jonah Goldberg]

Good for him. I doubt it helps him in his (doomed) bid for the White House, but besides from being the right thing to do, it probably helps the Dems. My guess is he still won't be invited by a lot of candidates in the next week.

The non-kos apology [Rich Lowry]

It's what Kerry should have said from the beginning, if he hadn't been trying to apply the wrong-headed "always attack your detractors venomously" lesson of 2004.

A handsome piece of work. My congratulations to Bob Shrum.

Kerry's Apology [Ramesh Ponnuru]

That's about as good as we could expect. This story is done as far as I'm concerned.

These men have all proven that kerry's condesecending view of the intelligence of the American can be validated...if one looks to the corridors of the political belt.

John Kerry: "I'm not going to apologize, you see, because I couldn't control myself when I said those things about our military. Karl Rove is forcing me to say those things! I just can't help myself! He's been sending those thoughts into my brain, and there's nothing I can do to stop him. He's got some kind of a machine, or something."

First he insulted the troop's intelligence.

Now, he's insulting ours.

Excellent summary.

I just showed my 11 year-old son the original clip of Kerry's "you get stuck in Iraq" insult.

He said, "well that explains Forrest Gump, but it's really mean."

I know I'm a proud mom, but I think my 11 year-old son has more brains than John Kerry!

A Snake sheds its skin on a regular basis.  However, when the Snake's skin re-grows, its still a "Snake."

Oh, thank you so much for telling me that. Wonder if the VFW will have a statement too.

Matthews is simply saying what all the libs think. That people can't possibly be patriotic unless they're dumb losers.

Is that pic for real?

It is bogus.

BTW, John Kerry has been fighting in Congress to get more sign making materials for the Troops. Kerry claims that "President Bush is negligent in not allowing our Troops to have RED colored markers for their signs."
