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.

OMG! When the Clintons are TOO VILE for even Kerry, Gore and DEAN....geesh.....they must be REALLY WORSE than I thought!

It isn't that the Clintons are too vile FOR them, my guess is that the Clintons were too vile TO them.

Kerry a Vietnam Vet?I didn’t know that.Can anyone here confirm this rumor?

Not ONLY Viet Nam,

BUT

Cambodia also!

A little known, super-secret, covert, hush-hush, on the QT, undercover, CIA operation during Christmas-time to observe how Buddhists celebrate Christmas in that SE Asian country, for which he was given a superduperhonestInjunbydang decoder ring and "The Hat" from a CIA man which he carries with him everywhere he goes.

BTW. Kerry was sent by a Presidential directive from Richard Nixon who was yet to take office as President when he ordered the mission.

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.

Certainly a good possibility, especially because Hillary doesn't age well and by 2012 she'll be downright hideous.

Nice touch.

And then Mary Jo said to me, "Ted, why don't you go for help while I guard the car."

I couldn’t limit myself to just ONE reason for detesting either clinton - but if I had to pick one I’d say it’s because they’re both lying, theiving, corrupt, treasonous, psychopathic communist whores.

I’m sure everyone has their own reasons however - which is what makes life so interesting!

Kerry aligning with Obama illustrates that this guy likes to associate with losers. Hillary has the nomination in the bag, I can’t understand what Kerry has to gain by backing Obama.

There is a definite Kennedy vs Clinton split occurring big time in the Demonrat Party...........time to break out the popcorn........

(concerning your nice picture of Jon trying to roll reefer...)
Madame Cary, does your son button his knickers below the knee?

negative in the worst, petty way

Petty? Are you nuts!?! (rhetorical question) If you'd've spent just a little more time in the military, Jon, you might've gotten a clearer idea about the tell-tale signs of people who are seriously out to destroy you, as the Clintons are concerning Obama.

Let's say you were a young person starting out in voting and knew very little about parties or candidates. You see people like Kerry who won't release his military records and Shillary who hides her WH records.

Wouldn't you just automatically dismiss these two because they are hiding important information which may help you decide whether or not to look at their candidacy

I heard that Kerry was a Viet Nam vet. Any truth to that?

Yep, not only true but he was also in Cambodia in December 1968, personally ordered there by President Nixon! Gained three (count 'em, THREE!) Purple Hearts during his tour of duty, which he faithfully reported for .... an ace snowboarder, top notch wind surfer, favorite Red Sox player is Manny Ortiz, and he even got gits hisself a huntin' license !!!

Whats not to like about this paragon of achievement?
