Kerry: Comment aimed at 'attack dogs'

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry said on Thursday that he was not referring to all Republicans as "crooked" in an off-the-cuff comment captured on camera -- just his political opponents' "attack dogs."

After a union rally in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday Kerry told a worker that "these guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group of people I've ever seen." His microphone was still on when he made the comments.

Lying, scum sucking, war criminal pig.

Oh, but I don't mean Kerry. I'm referring to someone else.

[Howlin]

Major Garrett just reported on Fox that Kerry's office is NOW saying that Kerry knew his mike was on and he said it as a warning to us.......LOL.

[LisaFab]

Did you hear his live mini-presser that just ended? Gagorama!

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah, did you here it on RUSH?

[kjam22]

This guy is doing a Howard Dean as we speak. Talk about selfdestruct mode.

[Constitution Day]

Ooooh. I am quaking in my boot, how 'bout you?

[Iron Matron]

Major Garrett just reported on Fox that Kerry's office is NOW saying that Kerry knew his mike was on and he said it as a warning to us.......LOL.

Warning all Republicans? Mr. Kerry, as a citizen of these United States, I PERSONALLY dont like being called names by the likes of YOU!

Where is my lawyer?

[Constitution Day]

(quaking so hard that one boot fell off, apparently)

[LisaFab]

No, watched it on Fox--Rush opted out during a commercial. The worst was seeing all his fellow Dems crowded around him cheering him on. They should never let Barbara Mikulski and Daschle stand next to him!

[TomGuy]

Kerry's speech. For some reason it reminded me of Bill Clinton. Every time Clinton came to the mic, he needed to be surrounded by 'supporters,' whether the Cabinet, or the Democrats, or the Military.

Kerry reminds me of that with this speech. Notice in the background, who all are surrounding their 'hero.'





It's a gaggle of cackleDems. Kerry appears to have been too skeered to face the press alone.

[linn37]

I'm glad he warned us now we don't have to be nice.

[KantianBurke]

Funny. Kerry's words is what I think of the Rats.

[hispanarepublicana]

Saying to the AFL-CIO that "Somebody's crooked," is like saying to the NAACP that "Somebody's black."

[steplock]

He is worried that videos and audio tapes of exactly what he said back in the 1970's "confessing" that he was a war criminal are now being found on the internet!

There is nothing a left-wing radical extremist fears more than ...... THE TRUTH!

He hates that there are real pictures of him and fonda, him and kennedy, him and mccain, him and "pick an enemy of America name"!

We will not forget his treason - nor will he be forgiven.

[Timeout]

I watched the presser...wish I could do a screen capture.

I would LOVE to have a picture of Kerry surrounded by Kennedy, Daschle, Rockefeller, et al...proclaiming that "every senator here knows more about creating jobs" than the Republicans do.

Now, imagine that picture. Has any one of those donkeys EVER held a private sector job (not counting living off inherited wealth like Kennedy and Rockefeller)? What do any of them know about creating jobs? Ha Ha Ha!

[ClearCase_guy]

I wasn't talking about All Republicans.
I wasn't talking about President Bush.
I was talking about nameless, faceless people who don't really exist, but who are really crooked.
I knew my microphone was on.

[kjam22]

Did he shake his finger at the camera and say "I did not call crooked that man, Mr. Bush"????

[The Wizard]

I just watched this lying POS, backed by the other professional liars in the democrat party, including the fat man, show why he will never be president, even with a samll "P"

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" Major Garrett just reported on Fox that Kerry's office is NOW saying that Kerry knew his mike was on and he said it as a warning to us.......LOL."

You mean it was intended as another Kerry MMM-"Manufactured Macho Moment ? "

[The Wizard]

I think GWB and the GOP should send him a message....
