Kerry Once again caught in hate speak

Date:   11/2/2006 5:59:13 PM ( 18 y ago)

joHN kERRY HAS OFFENDED OUR TROOPS!

Hanoi/Al Qaeda Kerry a man who scored lower grades in college than president Bush, Scored lower entrance and iq marks than president bush claims he was mocking Bush?

what a liar!
this man hates the military, much as bill clitin said that he loathes the military. In a recent poll amongst democrats . Only 20% of democrats looked at military service favorably

CBS tried to use forged documents to help john kerry get elected. Dan Rather,. a horrible journalist who always finished in last place while giving us his propoganda news at CBS could not help Kerry. Donald Trump laughed when asked what he thought of kerry running a corporation...He also said that Dan Rather was the most lousy anchor he had ever seen...

now this political party that hates the military and has likened our troops behavior to that of the Nazis and of pol pot, I believe those hateful comments came from Democrat Dick Durbin and Democrat John Murtha

The US Troops in Iraq have responded to this stumblebum of a Senator who in my opinion did not really apologize. His remarks go back to 1972 and do not forget Kerry threw away his military medals

Kerry was also proven to be a liar by Swift boat vets who served with the billionaire husband of an apartheid priviliaged caucasian wife.

SEN. KERRY HAS BEEN BELITTLING U.S. TROOPS FOR DECADES



FLASHBACK: In 1972, Kerry Said A Volunteer Army "Would Be An Army Of The Poor And The Black And The Brown" And More Likely To Perform War Crimes:



"During A Vietnam-Era Run For Congress Three Decades Ago, John Kerry Said He Opposed A Volunteer Army Because It Would Be Dominated By The Underprivileged, Be Less Accountable And Be More Prone To 'The Perpetuation Of War Crimes.'" (John Solomon, "Kerry's '72 Campaign Comments On Army Mirror Latest Flap," The Associated Press, 11/2/06)

"In 1972, As He Ran For The House, He Was Less Apologetic In His Comments About The Merits Of A Volunteer Army. He Declared In The Questionnaire That He Opposed The Draft But Considered A Volunteer Army 'A Greater Anathema.'" (John Solomon, "Kerry's '72 Campaign Comments On Army Mirror Latest Flap," The Associated Press, 11/2/06)
Kerry: "I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown ... We must not repeat the travesty of the inequities present during Vietnam. I also fear having a professional army that views the perpetuation of war crimes as simply 'doing its job.'" (John Solomon, "Kerry's '72 Campaign Comments On Army Mirror Latest Flap," The Associated Press, 11/2/06)

John Kerry Implied U.S. Troops Were Uneducated:



Sen. Kerry: "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't you get stuck in Iraq." (NBC 4's Website, http://www.nbc4.tv, Accessed 10/31/06)

Time's Mike Allen: "When you listen to the words of the apology that you played, that is not a complete or sweeping apology. He is apologizing for the fact his words are misinterpreted. That's like saying to your girlfriend, I'm sorry you are mad." (MSNBC's "Tucker," 11/1/06)



ABC's Jack Tapper: "But for Senator Kerry to say that anybody who interpreted it the way that the Republicans are now saying is, quote, unquote, 'crazy,' says a lot about why this faux apology isn't gonna work." (ABC's "'Countdown To Vote 2006," 11/1/06)

Democrat Strategist Joe Trippi: "[T]he big winner really is Howard Dean, because frankly, if we lose a couple of these close Senate seats and don't take the Senate back the establishment was all going to gang up and blame it on him. And now if we miss on a couple of these races, they are all going to blame it on Kerry." (Fox News' "O'Reilly Factor," 11/1/06)



Sen. Kerry's Presidential Ambitions Are Ruined:



"[F]or A Politician Striving To Prove That He Had Become A Better Candidate Than He Was When GOP Attacks Helped To Derail His White House Campaign In 2004, The Damage Was Done." (Peter Wallsten, "Kerry's Fighting Words Give Way To Apology," Los Angeles Times, 11/2/06)

"Burton Cohen, Former New Hampshire State Senate Majority Leader And A Key Kerry Backer In 2004, Said The Botched Joke Could Rival Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's Famous Iowa Scream In Terms Of Media Exposure And Political Damage." (Peter Wallsten, "Kerry's Fighting Words Give Way To Apology," Los Angeles Times, 11/2/06)

o Cohen: "It's getting played over and over again ... You just need one instance that can define a campaign. This may be one of those things, and if that's the case, I hope John Kerry likes staying in the Senate." (Peter Wallsten, "Kerry's Fighting Words Give Way To Apology," Los Angeles Times, 11/2/06)
