Kerry Rips Clinton Campaign
Newsmax ^ | January 15, 2008 | Newsmax Staff

Posted on 01/15/2008 8:45:41 AM PST by tlb

Sen. John Kerry blasted the presidential campaign of fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton on Monday, saying remarks by a Clinton surrogate hinting at Barack Obama’s past drug use were “negative in the worst, petty way.”

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Kerry said: “That kind of discussion, from a campaign where the former president made famous the words ‘I did not inhale,’ is to make something an issue that they themselves acknowledged shouldn’t be.”

“I thought it was negative in the worst, petty way. I thought it was unfortunate. And if it is done in surrogacy for the campaign itself then it is really wrong…

As Newsmax has reported, Kerry is a member of the so-called “Gang of Four” Hillary haters.

The Four — Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Howard Dean, and Al Gore — have pledged to stop Hillary from getting the nomination, and each has his own reason for detesting Clinton.

Most of these people have accumulated so much money, married so much money as well, that they probably wouldn’t have to work a day in their lives (as usual) if they didn’t want to. His election to anything probably isn’t dependent on the Clintons, and on the outside chance that Obama gets elected - well, then, he’s in clover.

If I didn’t know better, I would think the Dems are finally imploding.

There is debate about the “killings” in Waco. But there is no debate about the Clinton’s gassing innocent children. I argue that point because there is no refuge for the Clintonistas. After all, the use of CS gas is against the Geneva Convention.

That only leaves Doc, Bashful and Happy to speak against Snow-job Whitey.

I heard that Kerry was a Viet Nam vet.

For which side?

I hope for OUR sake they DO!

I’m betting the word “swiftboat” appears in this article.

Wow! I didn't know about this "Gang of Four"...but, an enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my 'friend', but, hey, anyone that wants to defeat Hillary, then more power to them in that venture!

In your tag line, was the “can’t skipper a boat” a reference to PT109? And if I like your answer, can I steal the tag line?

I think Kerry has always felt that the Clintons didn’t put out much effort to elect him in 2004. They were holding back because Hillary wanted to run in 2008, and if Kerry had won she would have had to postpone things.

That makes me want her to be the nominee.

Absolutely. Spread the word.
