BOSTON—Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry unleashed a broadside Thursday against Republican "obstructionism," saying the GOP and its talk-show allies have created a "period of know-nothingism" in the country.
With his party braced for defeats in the midterm elections, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee told the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce that a Republican machine -- fueled by talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck -- has undermined progress and misled the public into believing Democrats created the country's current economic problems.
Kerry singled out attacks on an energy deal he was negotiating with Republicans, which fell apart amid criticism of an emissions-trading program. Some 20 Senate candidates are now opposing the proposed deal in their campaigns.
"It's absurd. We've lost our minds," said a clearly exasperated Kerry. "We're in a period of know-nothingism in the country, where truth and science and facts don't weigh in. It's all short-order, lowest common denominator, cheap-seat politics."

I think he is confused with the Vietnam era when spoiled and half-witted sluts like his friend ‘Hanoi Jane’ bought media attention for her BS career by making nice with the enemies of the US....DURING wartime!
Yup, THAT'S ‘know-nothingism’!!
Someone pinch him.
“has undermined progress and misled the public into believing Democrats created the country’s current economic problems.”
A) The Repubs have not had the votes to obstruct much.
B) No one is stupid enough to believe that the Dems got us here on their own, just as no one is stupid enough to believe that the Dems have what it take in heart or mind to fix what is broken.
You think he’d just shut up, go away and enjoy his wife’s deceased, Republican husband’s money.
“It’s all short-order, lowest common denominator, cheap-seat politics” says Kerry in an extended moment of short-order, lowest common demoninator, cheap-seat politics.
We’re in an era of no-nothingism (where ever you got that non word) and yet you still can’t win a national election John, what does that tell you?
WTG, Licorice. She(?) and other members of the species Rattus Norvegicus are the only Rats I would trust nowadays.
Rattus Democratus, not so much.
He never had a mind; so how would he know?
We know a lot more than you think we do, Goober.
I suspect you'll be reminded of that next week.
Yep, the country was out of it’s mind to elect Obama too.
Don’t worry, Kerry, The people with intelligence and good sense are on the ball and will rescue the country starting Nov. 2 :)
Geez, I thought the period of know nothing was inaugerated in January 2009. Call me flumoxed, but a guy with no resume is running the country isn’t he? Earth to Kerry, your special hat is ready.
Excuse me, but John Kerry is a horse’s ass.
That’s about the best response to Kerry’s rantings there is...
THE STRAIN IS SHOWING. IF kerry is collapsing wiyh little at stake, imagine what is going on in in OBAMAO’s brain. i just love it.
Good one.

As big a disconnect from America as a nobleman in Paris citing the uppitiness of the crowds in the markets, circa October 1797.
We lost our minds when we allowed a traitor like Kerry to become rather than hanging him the town square for treason.
Today marks 2097 days since "Hanoi" John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records.
Still waiting, Johnboy, you lying commie loving weasel.
