(2006-11-01) — Sen. John F. Kerry, the 2004 Democrat presidential nominee, today finally retracted remarks he made about the intellectual abilities of U.S. troops and issued a formal apology to the people he offended.
In comments before students in California Monday, Sen. Kerry had said, “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.â€
“I withdraw that statement and ask the New York Times that it be stricken from the paper of record,” Sen. Kerry said. “The implication that somehow getting sent to Iraq is punishment for kids who don’t study, or aren’t too bright, was offensive to the fine citizens of that once-great nation, and I’m sorry.”
The decorated Vietnam war veteran added, “Let me make this crystal clear, as crystal clear as I can make it: It’s not the fault of the Iraqis that your country has become purgatory for our bad students. I hope everyone — Sunni, Shia and freedom-fighting insurgent alike — will find it in his heart to forgive me.”

John Kerry, you are sorry, a sorry excuse for an American, much less a senator. Put away that pointing finger and that fist in the air. Your body language tells your tale to the nth degress.

The sad thing about this insightful, satirical piece is that it is so believable. We can picture Kerry saying these things. We wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if he did, in fact, stand today at some podium somewhere and say them.

Um, degrees. (Wiseguy! Just kidding.)
Message from Obama:
“Americans have no idea how much is at stake in next week’s election. On one level, it’s true, nothing whatsoever is at stake because democratic government is still the rule of man over man, which is always the way of oppression, since rule rightfully belongs to Allah, to whom all praise is due, whose holy law is the only source of genuine equality for all mankind.
“But that’s just theology. Let’s talk practical politics. On that level, next week’s election is indeed paramount because you, the American people, are responsible for the leaders you elect, and therefore also responsible for their decisions. You think I’m such a bad guy, a so-called “evil doer,†just because I kill innocent civilians. But is any civilian truly innocent when, as you always remind us, the American people are free to choose their own leaders? You decide who calls the shots. So I say it is you, the American people, who permit immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling and usury! It is you who did not sign the Kyoto Treaty as you continue to destroy nature with your industrial waste! It is you who support the Jewish oppression of Muslims in Palestine, the Indian oppression of Muslims in Kashmir, and the Russian oppression of Muslims in Chechnya. It is you who send your soldiers to oppress us around the world. You send them to Muslim lands in body armor. We’ll send them back to you in body bags.”

“crystal clear” hummm? Wonder if that’s Demo’s code to ready for the coup d’ e’tat they might attempt when the votes are counted and they awaken to how slanted, wrong and misleading their poll figures were? Will “crystal clear” be the code for their Americanized version of “Krystal Nacht” when they round up all of us Conservatives to be shipped to concentrartion camps? Will we all have to wear yellow armbands with the words “BUSH LOVER” on them?
There was a time when Hitler could have been easily stopped and WWII averted. But good folks stood by and did nothing and evil triumphed (for awhile).
If you think Adolph was evil - even he was scared of the Communists. We’ve got a ton of them right now in Washington D.C. Holding powerful positions in our government and a bunch of them are running for reelection next Tuesday (11/07/06).
It’s now a matter of vote or pay the piper.

You know…the President of the USA. And if he was joking about the President’s “smarts”, where does that leave Kerry, because his grades were not as good as the President’s.

Ya gotta love how the gigolo Kerry calls anyone who takes him at his word a “right-wing nutjob.” Should we be surprised that the lamestream media doesn’t take him to task for his name calling? After all, this twit is a U.S. senator. Too bad some Republican didn’t stand up and call sKerry a “left-wing nutjob” for bald-face lying about his comments WHEN THE WHOLE THING IS ON VIDEOTAPE! What a lying partisan hack.

Oh, and anyone who has seen the videotape can witness how Kerry THOUGHTFULLY hesitated before saying what he did. It wasn’t a “botched attempt” at criticizing the Bush Administration. Kerry knew exactly what he wanted to say and he said it. He just didn’t anticipate the firestorm that would result from his liberal arrogance. I’m sure nine out of ten liberals are still scratching their heads asking themselves, “Well, what did Kerry say wrong? Of course those soldiers are over in Iraq because they couldn’t hack it in school. The military is a dumping ground for rednecks and educational failures. That’s what my liberal professors keep telling me.”

John Kerry can’t help it if the rest of America is not smart enough to decipher the nuances of every word he utters. I guess we all understood what he said before we didn’t understand what he said.

BTW, one of those soldiers who dropped out of college to join the Army was General Tommy Franks. Tommy Franks played a pivotal role in the first Gulf War, and led our military in Afghanistan after 9/11. He led our troops to an astounding military victory in Iraq, taking Baghdad in less than a month using a fraction of the troops used during the first Gulf War. By any estimate this college drop out was “plenty smart”, and an amazing patriot. (He eventually did obtain advance degrees while still serving his country.)

I love the left. No matter what they do or say, commit adultery with someone young enough to be their daughter, call U.S. troops dumb and lazy, it is the right’s fault. I think Republicans should start telling their supposedly unmotivated base that any problems in Iraq or with spending are completely the fault of left-wing nutjobs and leave it at that. If Kerry can say that anyone who thinks he would criticize troops is crazy with a straight face isn’t anything fair game?

Maggie, Heinz-site? Buwahahahahahaaaaa!
This possible good news from RealClearPolitics.com:
So why a high-powered leadership would group from Prince George’s break ranks with their party and support (Republican) Michael Steele? And they are high-powered. Their leader is a two-term former County Executive, Wayne Curry, arguably the most popular politician in the county. Five others are members of the County Council. Another, Major Riddick, was the top aide to former Governor Parris Glendening. Also on hand were one of the Democrats’ top fundraisers, several prominent businessmen and other community leaders.
Part of it is that Steele is a Prince Georgian. The county leaders know him, like him and respect him. But that alone wouldn’t be nearly enough to cause them to break ranks with their party in a critical election.
What it’s really all about is that blacks in Maryland have begun to realize that they’ve been being snookered by the white-dominated Democratic Party all these years. As Riddick put it, “They’ve been showing us a pie, but we never get a slice.” [my comment: you got that right ... finally.]
Voting statistics aren’t kept by race, of course; they call it a “secret ballot” after all. But if you work out the math, you can pretty easily demonstrate that something like half of all Maryland Democratic voters are black. Half!

Michael Medved soundly sums up why Kerry’s crack matters, and the commenters at his blog add to the apt collection of criticism.
Kerry can try to backpedal all that he wants, implying that his barb was aimed toward President Bush. That lame excuse just further proves what a heel Kerry is in trying to take a cheap shot at the CIC while surrounded by young people easily manipulable by unscrupulous demagogues. Even they, however, recoiled with some audible gasps at Kerry’s gratuitous ad hominem, whether aimed at the troops or at President Bush.
It’s unfortunate (understatement!) that Kerry and his company of fellow-travelers are a large part of the problem, not of the solution, in framing a policy of a just victory in Iraq and of security against those who mean ill towards the US and the West.

Kerry’s opinion of our soldiers is improving. In 1971, he compared Americans in uniform to a horde of pathological killers and rapists, Ã la Genghis Khan. Now they’re just uneducated slobs who didn’t make an effort to be smart.
Not only are his words insulting, it turns out that — once again — he is wrong. Our military are much better educated than the general population, as this study shows:

Thank God, now there is a watchdog watching the self-appointed watchdogs of the media. You darn well bet we’ll pick apart every lie and bias they publish, should it be any other way? Journalists must be held to the same standards of truth and fairness that they hold everyone else to. And now we’re seeing the media emperor has no clothes.
Given how absolutely biased the lamestream media has been in carrying the water for the Democratic Party in the fine tradition of Goebbels, I consider the fourth estate a little more than the mouthpiece for a Fifth Column which represents the biggest danger to our constitutional republic at present. The liberal media’s subtle disinformation campaign of Bush-hatred/America-bashing is no more apparent than their present attempt to depress Republican/conservative turnout with the incessant drumbeat of their bogus polls. Funny how some of the races have “tightened up” as we get closer to election time. Let’s just see how big this “blue tsunami” really is on Tuesday.

Another self-inflicted wound for John Kerry - no doubt, he’ll apply for another Purple Heart.
One can only imagine the fright on kids’ faces when his Munsters face greeted them at the door on Halloween night. “Trick or….. screech!”

From the Nielsen people:
The fact that the online population is more heavily composed of Republicans than Democrats is principally a function of the Republican party’s higher composition within the overall electorate,” said Nielsen//NetRatings analyst Ken Cassar. “This is exacerbated by the fact that online penetration continues to be deeper among affluent households, which have historically skewed Republican,” he continued.
If that’s the case (and I believe it is), why does the lamestream media always underrepresent Republican respondents by about 20% in their stupid polls, hmmmmmm? Check out the respondent ratio next time there’s a lamestream poll.
I know I’m preaching to the choir.

Hey Geyz,
The Kathryn Harris - Bill Nelson Debate is going to be rebroadcast on at 10:00 pm EST on MSNBS.
I saw the live Debate (Like I said, I’m working the Harris phone banks; getting out the “Repug Vote” you know!)
Please watch, as a Democrat I am really proud of … make that, delighted with her performance.
Yer pal,

Everthunk, unfortunately for you liberals, we can only vote in each of our states…once…well, that is, except for Prettyold and Ms Rightwing, Ink, but that’s our little secret…:wink: What happens in your state just really doesn’t mean a whole big deal to us. Now if you want to talk about our debate between Mary Fallin and the doofus doctor who is making an attempt to run against her, I’ll turn that tv on in a heartbeat.

CAT:
Maybe everstink is a member of ACORN? They can vote NUMEROUS times, UNTIL they get caught, like just happened!
Now they will be making license plates and being someone’s girlfriend!
In a way, that is bad, because when some “slip and fall” attorney gets them out, they will be ‘multiple voting’ for gay marriage and government assisted sex change operations———-wait,—sorry, they are ALREADY for those, are they not?
