Insulting Our Troops, and Our Intelligence (Commie Spin)

New York Times ^ | November 3, 2006 | Thomas L. Friedman

[TBP]

George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld think you?re stupid. Yes, they do.

They think they can take a mangled quip about President Bush and Iraq by John Kerry, a man who is not even running for office but who, unlike Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, never ran away from combat service, and get you to vote against all Democrats in this election.

Every time you hear Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney lash out against Mr. Kerry, I hope you will say to yourself, "They must think I'm stupid." Because they surely do.

They think that they can get you to overlook all of the Bush team's real and deadly insults to the U.S. military over the past six years by hyping and exaggerating Mr. Kerry's mangled gibe at the president.

[TBP]

Typical leftist sclaptrap trying to disguise their own hatred of the troops, the military, and all things American by procliming that only they love the military and it's those of us who support them who actually hate them.

What kind of looking-glass world do these losers live in?

[RichInOC]

Tom Friedman apparently thinks we're both deaf and illiterate.

[RichInOC]

...as well as stupid.

Tom Friedman thinks you're stupid. Yes, he does. He thinks he can tell you to believe him and not your lyin' eyes and ears, and you will!

[Nateman]

Pay no attention to that actual quote behind that curtain!

[logic101.net]

Hmmm, interesting question: "what kind of world do these losers live in"? Certainly not the "real world" that professors talk about but never experience!

[operation clinton cleanup]

Only Tom Friedman could understand or get the nuance of John Kerry's "joke".

[Triggerhippie]

Thank GOD I don't need Tom Friedman to do my thinking for me.

Actually, it's the NY Times who thinks we're stupid if they think they can pass of Kerry's continual contempt for the troops as a "mangled quip."

Oh, Tom, please kiss and hug Sen.Jon Carry, and make him your guy! Please keep explaining things to us stupid folks all through the next few elections. Come on, don`t let those rascally Republicans get away with slamming your guy. You got to fight for whats right!

SAVE CARRY! SAVE CARRY! SAVE CARRY! SAVE CARRY!

[jazusamo]

Friedman's a looney left hack.

[Earthdweller]

The Fried one strikes again.

[dandelion]

Why is it, lately, everything leftist has the aura of screaming monkeys about it? Why does hysteria permeate the very center of every leftist thought expressed? Why does the odor of insanity constantly linger about their logic, as if it were dead?

The rants of the left are a broken boom-box, screeching without ceasing; they have cast themselves off the cliff of lunacy, and we should be glad were it not for the eternal and shrill shrieks of rage as they plunge into burning madness...

[plain talk]

This wasn't a mangled joke at the President. It was a clear dig at the men and women in the military. To say anything else is making up words that aren't there in the quote. Facts are stubborn things.

Ummm.....Someone should tell him that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld aren't running for office. And he must think we're stupid if he expects us to believe that Kerry isn't running for the office of President.

[Sterm26]

I've always said that the Leftists live in a bizarro-world. Up is down, right is wrong, and the Dems want to protect the troops by making sure that they never fight.

[SoldierDad]

They think they can take a mangled quip about President Bush and Iraq by John Kerry, a man who is not even running for office but who, unlike Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, never ran away from combat service, and get you to vote against all Democrats in this election.

Never ran away from combat? Oh, really? You mean Kerry intentionally getting himself wounded for this third Purple Heart wasn't running away from combat? Hmmmm. Revisionists.

[AliVeritas]

Damn, it sucks for the lib so-called columnists to not know who they are.

It's the education system... and possession.

[PeskyOne]

He may think we are, but we know he's too stupid to make a sane judgment. He's also a big coward...you can't get an email address for him unless you join The Select N.Y. Times, and they won't get a penny of my money!
