FLASH: McCain Calls On Kerry To Apologize
drudge ^ | 10/31/2006 | milwguy

Posted on 10/31/2006 8:59:29 AM PST by milwguy

Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.

Let's see......my son spent 2 year-long tours in Iraq. Received a purple heart and an ARCOM medal. Re-enlisted for another 4 years while there too, yet according to Kerry he is uneducated??

This creepy so-called Senator makes most military families want to vomit!

NOBODY is going to believe that "explanation". The only ones that will accept it, are the ones that agree with Kerry anyway.

Do you think that maybe Kerry just revved up the base? Maybe Rove slipped something into Kerry's drink to make him say something so stupid. Almost too late for October Surprise!!

Probably a waste of time. Being liberal means never having to say you're sorry.

Thanks to our double standard media.

As a veteran, the recent comments that John Kerry simply make my blood boil. The comments show the utter comtempt that Democrats like Kerry have for those who make the choice to serve their country and if Mr. Kerry was as informed as he claims to be he would know that at no time in history has the United States Military not only been the best trained, but the best educated and here are the facts. Facts: 1)A growing number of Non Commissioned Officers, Limited Duty Officers and Chief Warrant Officers have or are obtaining college degress while in uniform...

Everyone, especially military families, should write/call/email their local TV stations asking for coverage.

And while he's at it, Kerry needs to apologize for wasting oxygen.

McCain is a loose cannon, but sometimes he points in the right direction. And the MSM will listen to this since they're in love with McCain. Hah!

Hey Kerry, dig your political grave a little deeper, why dontcha....

McCain's comment makes it more difficult for the MSM to ignore Lurch's comment.

Not impossible, but more difficult.

So the mask slips, and underneath Kerry's carefully assumed regard for the troops is a hateful, contemptuous elitist who thinks of the military as a penalty, not an honor.

He has no sense of honor. His entire life is a study in expediency and opportunism.

...and that price will be, two more years in control of both houses of Congress and the White House, with all the partisan media shill smears that go with it. Thanks, John Kerry, for handing the election back over to us. Oh, and for the 2008 Presidential victory for the Pubbies.

Was that Kerry's actual quote? When and where did he say it?
Disgusting!

The MSM uually ignores McCain the rare time he does the right thing. That or they unleash their attack dogs on him to warn him they are his base. Predictably he then does something to endear himself to them again to reassure he still loves them.

Still, can't fault him for calling for an apology. Though I'd prefer he call for Kerry to be thrown out of the Senate and hung for Treason.
