If he truly slipped, then why did he not apologize to the troops for his major gaffe?
It was intentional...he voiced what he's thought all along: kerry hates the troops. Nuff said.
I agree. He meant every word of it.
How can ANYONE doubt that John Francios Kerry absolutley meant to call our troops uneducated idiots? He absolutely MEANT to call our troops idiots.
Not sure of your point, but Kerry certainly did slip up - - one way or the other.
He attempted to do what Liberals always do--appeal to The Poor, the poor, dumb lumpenproletariat who REALLY know that The Man is shipping their poor, dumb asses overseas to die for oil. Speaking truth to power, man, very Black Panthers. It's a neauseating, patronizing act--preying on people LIBERALS perceive as dumb by saying "Them evil Republicans think that just because you're uneducated that you're stupid, but WE are going to protect you from them!" The irony being that the libs hope the intended audience is dumb enough to buy their malarkey.
It was a slip, a freudian slip. He meant every word.
SORRY TROLL, YOU ARE WRONG!
He may have slipped, but it was a Freudian slip.
That jackass leprechaun O'Reilly was saying he "knows" that Kerry didn't mean to demean the troops. How could he "know" that?
Here is my email to O'Reilly. It's probably TOO pithy:
If it were the first time, I'd agree with you that John Kerry didn't intend to demean our troops, but he has a pattern of doing this, such as when he charged that our troops were going house to house in the middle of the night to murder women and children, not to mention his vicious slanders against our troops in Vietnam.
Where there's smoke, there's fire, Bill.
Obviously this was no slip. Kerry is a F'n elitist idiot who believes his and Teresa's s--t don't stink.
I don't buy it either.
And even if it WAS intended to be a joke about the President, it's STILL an insult to our Troops.
The only way it could have been intended to be funny would be because, with Kerry's 30+ years of denigrating our Military, testifying that they commit war crimes, saying that they shouldn't be terrorizing women and children in Iraq, we would naturally EXPECT him to be about to once again denigrate our Troops. But NO! Ha ha! He's slamming the President instead? By implying that the President is as dumb as he thinks our Troops are?
Oh, Please...
His "intended Joke" can only be "funny" because it is a twist on the tired and disproved DNC talking point that our troops are foolish and predominantly less educated than average.
Well, if that's the story he wants to stick to then it seems to me he meant to insult not only our President, but everyone who voted for him, and our Troops as well.
Maybe we can get some of our Democrat Representatives to explain... ;-)
Kerry has been demeaning, insulting and accusing our military of being war criminals since Vietnam (for over 30 years now).
His pathetic, tortured, phoney, and transparent efforts to now claim it was a 'botched attempt at humor'--is not only patronizing, but it is also even MORE insulting to anyone who could see his sincerity in the actual video of his original slander. How stupid does he think the military is? Oooops, never mind that question.
Kerry has been spewing hate, anger, venom, and disdain towards the military and its efforts since he accused our troops of being war criminals in Vietnam.
Some things never change.
Rush was talking about this today .. and said that there was a dem moritorium on saying anything about the Iraq war .. and he offered Reid, Pelosi, Kennedy, and the other usual suspects who have been unusually quiet - almost like being in hiding.
It's also been noted in the media that several of the hotly contested races show the dems moving to the right .. and then here was Kerry not only talking about Iraq .. but belittling our soldiers and exposing the dems true position regarding the military.
Aside from that - I see on FNC tonight that Kerry's appts for tomorrow have been cancelled. This has to mean the dems have shut him down because they don't want the public to know they agree with Kerry's statement.
BUT IT'S TOO LATE!! Woe to any candidate who tries to suppress the military vote.
I think his statements reflect his elitest attitude. It slips through, even though he won't own up to it.
Who doesn't read their paper speech before giving it?
Coming to work today has been interesting. I am one of those "didn't work hard in school, didn't get a good education, ended up in the military types" and everyone around me is too. They are really fired up about this. A lot just find it humorous in a stupid kind of way that Kerry would even open his mouth about military service after he went in front of congress years back and gave his traitorous comments about the military back then. Most are just pissed that he would use his elitist ways to poison another generation of college students in this manner. Hopefully those college students will learn a lesson from this event. I am glad that the democrats are backing away from Kerry and his stupidity. Many will cancel their appearances with him and a good many may denounce the stupid comments. Just an observation from a guy who "had no other option than join the military" from the words of John Kerry.
The notion that John Kerry is a war hero is laughable. So basically if you are forced against your will to spend a few months in Vietnam, get a little shrapnel lodged in your skin, recieve some purple hearts that you then throw away, come home and demean your country and your fellow soldiers by calling them rapists and murderers, then spend the rest of your life criticizing the military and the commander in chief, you are a war hero!! I want to throw up every time he opens his mouth.
He is liar through and through. His statement was not a botched joke, and he is not a victim of the republicans. He is the dumb ass that said our military men and women are uneducated. While persuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, I was asked to join the military and offered nice benefits to do so. I didn't join, but I know for a fact that there are many college-educated soldiers that didn't join the millitary because they are stupid, or didn't have any other option. I don't agree with everything that Bush does and says, but he is the leader of your nation and MUST be followed. Honest criticism is healthy, but to bash him for political gain is un-american and is treasonous.
I don't believe he planned it. He was talking to a friendly crowd who might take the path he has taken and was speaking candidly.
His contempt for our Servicemen is in his DNA and still potent and his feelings slipped out.
