You know it just doesn't matter. Kerry could stick a whole flag pole up his ass, flag and all and have a signed note from Jesus and the right-wingers won't hear a damn word he is saying.

They hear what they want and that is why after all these years they are still asking WHY WE HATE AMERICA. What a load of crap. And here our most famous draft dodger is again calling a hero of Vietnam a commie pinko fag.....again. Remember, at least Jane Fonda went to Vietnam. GWB ran like hell up until he started beating his manly chest and declaring himself a hero of the National Guard (who couldn't find him for a year).

If it makes you feel better to think that John Kerry is a terror lover, go right ahead and believe it. But you'll still be wrong and history will prove differently when we get over this period of national crisis and disgrace brought to us by Bush-Cheney the true leaders of draft dodging and running from commitments. And damn Kerry for apologizing.

I love how the "iberal" media spun that story.

I wish he hadn's apologized, since he had nothing to apologize for. I liked his stance yesterday of kicking ass a lot better.

Poor Kerry's attempt at make a statement failed. I, clearly understood what he meant. The Republicans are grasping at anything they think will pull the attention away from them. What's so damn funny is, it's keeping the focus on Iraq, where it need to be. Bush doesn't know his history and neither his "right wing" Republican followers, if so, they would have known the culture of the land and the passion of the people. Yeah, Sadaam is an evil man, but who, as Americans are we to judge with as much bloodshed in this country, starting with the stealing of land and killing people to to take control. Yes, it happened in America! Now, how many of our soldiers have died to defend what? Oil? An arrogant ass president, and a group of old ass men that need to retire from government. When we don't learn from history, it will repeat itself. Boy, do I miss Bill!

Do you really think a combat veteran of Vietnam would say the only people serving in Iraq were those too dumb to avoid it? - Posted by Max Brantley
********
If the "combat veteran" was Mr. Kerry, then I would say "Yes".

Don Keyhotay, have you served in the military?

LOL, Kerry - "i was for the joke before I was against it !!!!

What a Jerk. You libs should be pissed though it looks like the November suprise was all Kerry.

tell me how are you going to blame Rove for this one ?

The Citzens Journal- How many times have your president put his foot in his mouth? Sometimes, I think he is talking out of his ass, because his mouth should know better.

Citizen did you come up with that weak web site on your own? did Kathryn Cherry help you? try using facts instead making it up on your own.

Kerry makes a bad joke and it's the end of democracy as we know it.

Cheney gets drunk and shoots a guy in the face and it's "one of those things."

Oh Karl Rove, is there anything you can't do?

TCJ - you can't get the kant right - it's an October surprise. Surprise!

A little off-topic, but Slate has a spot-on analysis of the Republican attack ads. The ones they cite are not much worse than those of Asa and Delay.

Sorry but I am with Citizen's Journal on this one.

We break it all down on The Creek
here it is from the jump maxwick:

Look, George W. Bush is the worst thing to ever happen to this country in a long time. That should be a biblical commandment it is such an absolute

I talked to Jesus last night and he even said George W. is the worst leader he has ever seen.

BUT there is no denying it, W. is a hell of a politician

John Kerry sucks.

He just could not stand to be out of the limelight now that Democrats were making a strong push up the middle and so he struts around California like his is running for President and screwing up jokes he is not capable of delivering in the first place.

The way the joke came out was blatantly offensive and he should have apologized moments later

Instead in what should be a monumantal election where we throw failed Reublican leadership out of office we have a rehash of 2004: George W. vs. John Kerry

Well, I don't like either of those options and neither do most Americans.

If people in America are voting FOR Harold Ford Jr. over bob corker and FOR Jon Tester over conrad burns and FOR Jim Webb over george allen...DEMOCRATS WILL WIN

If we are voting for john kerry over george w, bush...WE WILL LOSE

NOW John Kerry go away and Never Come Back!!!

Sorry for the re-post kids

But there is something screwy with the url link.

Anyway Kerry sucks most Democrats are great

McCain and Hagel are great most Republicans suck

end of story

Orval Faubus you and your fraudulent blog fool nobody...your Republican in sheep's clothing greasy creek is a joke

Kerry's comment referred to Bush and he was correct. Bush is a joke. Kerry should not appologize because Republicans are too stupid to understand what he really meant. Any person that thinks Kerry would insult the troops is a 100% moron.

I think Kerry should come right out and state the truth: Bush and Cheney are cowards. The average Iraqi child is braver than those two.

I'm sure glad it was George Washington and not George Bush leading our troops in the Revolutionary war, or we'd be singing God Save the Queen right now.

Kerry-
As a progressive I wish you would shut the hell up. You failed two years ago and you are failing now. When you open your mouth, crap falls out. Please be quite and go away!

So, all you Kerry defenders wouldn't mind if he came in to stump for Beebe over the weekend?

Not at all! Let's have Kerry in to stump for Beebe, and Bush in to stump for A$a.

Kerry would at least be able to show himself in public and host an event where members of the opposite party aren't assualted if they leave their "free speech zone".

Anybody stupid enough to believe that Kerry was talking about the troops, and not the commander in chief, deserves to be insulted by the comment.
Fucking idiots.

He should have never apologised, period. Once and for all he had a chance to put an end to the swiftesque maneuvers from the white house crew and it's eager msm media pupets.
He had it in the bag. shoulda stfu today or brought it all back around to - It's all about Iraq stupid.
Why he went on Ipuss this morning (at all) and fell for the polite track is beyond me. Senator Kerry we cannot play nice with evil maniac neocons.

Ditto, Rick Baber.

His alledged apology was yet another fuck-up.
If Kerry had really been a politician he should have done a challenge apology.
"My fellow Americans, due to messing up a joke I got the wrong message out.
I would like to do two things:
1.Offer an apology for messing up a joke and
2-challenge George Bush and Dick Cheney to apologize for lying about this illegal Iraq war"

That would have done it.

From another blog:

"Where was Bush's apology after he ridiculed the supposed purpose, mission and raison d'etre of nearly 3,000 mother's sons who marched to war on a tissue of lies and came back in flag-draped coffins?

At the 60th annual dinner of the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association in March 2004, Bush narrated a slideshow of images that showed him puzzled looking around the Oval Office, under tables and behind doors.

'Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere,' he mused.

'No, no weapons over there.'

'Maybe under here?,' Bush chuckled as fat vacuous Republican stooges in the audience smacked their lips amidst fits of laughter and applause for their gracious leader.

Two and a half years later and Bush has failed to apologize for his WMD joke, failed to admit the error of his ways in giving a one finger salute to the crying wives, mothers and daughters who never saw their heroes return home.

Recall also what elitist luminary and still reputed Bush advisor Henry Kissinger said about the troops.

'Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.'

That sums up the entire attitude of the Neo-Con overlords and their arrogance in sacrificing human lives on a whim for an imperial agenda but then crying wolf when Kerry merely hints at the fact that joining the army may not be such a bright idea when a Bush is in office."

"Anybody stupid enough to believe that Kerry was talking about the troops, and not the commander in chief, deserves to be insulted by the comment.
Fucking idiots."

Well since the troops are the ones largely offended I guess you just called the troops ........ F@#%&*g Idiots

You Liberals just cant help yourselves, Rick just insulted the troops again ! Good going ! You really make the case !
Maybe you could start a
"Libs for Stupid Troops" Movement. Kerry can be your spokesperson since he's made such a great career out of impuning them.

You could have simulated surrenders to the enemy and mock trials where you put each other on trial for defending America. You could even have a medal toss event.

LOL

Well, like I said the wingnuts hear what they want to hear and there is no telling them anything. Most of them say they regularly hear the voice of Jesus......so talking to them is like talking to rabid beavers on crack.

The news on CNN tonight brightened my day at Campo De No Fumar Hospital. Seems another Florida Representative had to resign today. State Rep. Ralph Arza last month got caught calling a school principal a nigger. Skip the crap about the N word...this Republican Rep called the man a nigger.

Then to make things worse when he found out who squealed on him he called the guy repeatedly at home and left messages on the answering machine saying Hey Bitch, you my bitch, bless you bitch...where's my bitch you bitch. Well......all I can say is, keep it classy Republicans!

Click on my name and listen to America's newest ex-Republican politician. Does this mean Jeb W. Bush is all alone down there in Florida??? It's going to be a slaughter on November 7th!

CJ,
You are a case in point.

I should have clarified mine though. There are two factions on that side: Those that pour fuel on what they know to be a bogus fire; and those who believe the crap they are being fed. Actually, I think you're the former. But I could be wrong.

For anyone to really care what Kerry says pains me. I was desperately looking for a reason to not vote for GW.

Kerry could screw up toast.

It is so funny to see the Maxites try to cobble Kerry back together.

Again, a huge GW hater here.

I now notice that Ark Times has a tendancy to make excuses for every UNINSPIRING DEMOCRAT out there.

"I was desperately looking for a reason to not vote for GW."

You lost me right there. Come up with one reason to vote Republican next week. I can find more of Mary Lee Orsini's pubic hairs on my couch than I can a single reason any sane person could have to vote for any Bush-ite.

Arguing with CJ reminds me of getting in the pen to wrestle with a hog. You both wind up dirty and besides the hog really likes it.
Even a GOP spokesperson said Kerry's apology took care of it. He tried to make a complicated joke and misread it. He apologized/
It's more than Rush Limbaugh ever did for Michael Fox.

"Times has a tendancy to make excuses for every UNINSPIRING DEMOCRAT out there."

You should get off the National Review hotline occassionally browse down to realityland, it's strange for you I realize but we have fried pimps like Mark Pryor many times. We have ridiculed Charlie Daniels too but no amount of ridiculing Daniels will overcome the total brainlessness of Jim Lagroan.
Max revealed the huge crop subsidies which Marion Berry Farms recieves long before that bumbling idiot-barber from Cabot did it.
I realize you must assume much to be a lock-step nutcake but hang around awhile, perhaps your red-stained kool-aid lips can get back to normal.

People Just Don't Like Asa

"Well since the troops are the ones largely offended I guess you just called the troops ........ F@#%&*g Idiots"

Anyone that heard Kerry's jab and actually thought he was talking about the troops instead of Bush IS an idiot. That includes soldiers in Iraq.

One of the late-night comics (think it was Leno) said Kerry can blow elections he's not even in.
What a patriot!

This whole episode is a sad reminder of how the current trend is to disparage all candidates of an entire political party based on inane, stupid, inadvertent or brain-glitch verbal slips made by one of their representatives.

This is not the exclusive prerogative of either party. See what happens when you hear the latest Bushism, Cheneyspeak or Rovebyte.

The sad part is that this distracting ploy usually has some effect.

So we voters are not much better than they politicos.

Don't have a coronary on me Don Quixotic but I agree with you.
In context [bashing Bush] and with the word "us" spoken where it was written in the speech, the slam was clearly against Bush.
I share your frustration however in the fact that they all attempt to manipulate us and distract us from the real issues we face in the voting booth.
The ploy will only work if we let it. Let's hope most of us now understand the game and can see through it. But you are right, better yet, that game should not be played.

That might make sense if it weren't for the fact that Bush had better grades and a higher SAT score than Kerry, and that Bush has been more successful in life than Kerry. Politically, Bush has acheived the ultimate success as president, with only 42 others who have ever acheived this, whereas Kerry has acheived something that literally over a thousand other people have acheived, being a US Senator. In private life, Kerry is only successfull because he married rich women.

Too bad for y'all and Kerry that he's been insulting members of the armed forces for over 30 years. He was talking about service members when he made his demeaning comments and you and everybody else with a brain knows it. Democrats have been saying stuff like this for years. Charlie Rangle and Michael Moore, who was an honored guest at your convention have said similar things on several occasions. The military knows it too. That's why an amazingly large majority of them never vote for democrats.

Prove it, Anon, that Kerry has insulted troops for 30 years.
I find no evidence of that.
Are you being obtuse?
Or just ignorant?
