"Todays Billionares didn't pass or in ost cases got to college, so stop talking stupid ."

No that is just about the funniest thing I've read today. Thanks Fartknocker!

For those of us who have served in the military, we know that there are just as many liberals as conservatives. Folks come to the service from every demographic, from the inner cities of the northeast and rural south. The G.I's in this pic represent but one view. It's a great country that values the right of all of us to speak our minds...

[huskerarmy]

Exploit the Kerry gaf all you want, it's not going to get your cracker GOPers elected this time.

Ah, listening to the libs verbally wiggle around the hook that Kerry put them on is hilarious. Oh, sorry, I used a BIG word, and as liberals say, I'm stupid and can't use those words. I suppose I meant to use 'funny' instead. Kerry has built his career around calling US Service people 'war criminals' and other such drivel. His latest comment was just another example of the same, and it backfired. Kerry was wrong in the 70's when he slandered his fellow service men and women, those who protected him, as he protected them. He was wrong in the 80's about the Soviet Union, he was wrong when he ALSO said that Saddam had WMD. Conveniently, the liberals DON'T recall that, the only person who 'lied' about Iraq in their playbooks is George Bush. So, Kerry insulted the brave men and women in our Armed Forces by calling them stupid. This represents what he, and most liberals think. The standard liberal line if you don't agree with a liberal is that you are STUPID! If they are being particularly kind, they claim you are 'politically unsophisticated'. I challenge all liberals who think Kerry's comments 'had a grain of truth' to visit a military base and meet the young men and women of today's military. It will destroy your precious notion that you are somehow 'superior' to them.

Another funny sign coming soon... "Thanks for not leaving us behind George," held up by a group of middle schoolers in the south whose teachers get a quota of 100 printed pages per year thanks to the dwindling school budget. "You've forced us to teach to the test, but could we please have a few pennies to print the test?" Guess that $500 billion we've blown on a useless war might have come in handy in other areas of the economy? This whole argument is about education, right?

[bluestardad]

That is a cool banner.

[rsoxfan1123]

turn about's fair play...gotta have a sense of humor. it IS kinda funny.

[shingles1]

Must say that's quite a funny banner.

In my first comment I should have excluded the National Guard units in Araq from the count because they joned their units for many different reasons.

[jn122736]

Continued: On the other hand, president bush's actions and speaking gaffs have demonstrated his intelligence very well. We are "stuck in Araq" and in my opinion this fits kerry's claim that he was aiming the "joke" at Bush.

[jn122736]

What is the average age of all military personnel from the lowest rank up to third lowest rank? And what is the average age of those graduating from college. The answers to these questions will say it all about who volunteers and who the recruiters target.
The age and/or enlistment of soldiers has nothing to do with their intelligence. But many of them have no other choice either to be able to go to college after enlistment or simply to have employment, other than working in the domestic service industry.

"We spent $200 million last election getting people to hate John Kerry. Now we just tap right back into that."

First honest thing I've heard from a Republican since Reagan.

[meboard]

Beeing a dislectic Amerikan, I tack offence to this cheep smeer. I demand the u.s. army appoligize for this outrage!!!!

[aesop2-2009]

The posted of this picture and those behind it verifies what John Kerry said even if he didn't mean what he said. Anyone who is in a hostile area and has time to make jokes is stupid.

[alphaa10-2009]

Kerry's remark reminds us how few of the current GOP congress-- so eager to "stay the course"-- are also eager to have their relatives sign up for Iraq.

But why criticize only congressmen and senators? Let's expand the view to all those backing the idea of the "volunteer" armed services. Despite all the patriotic hot air spilling from certain quarters, few, so very few of those boosting "Irak" are actually willing to go there.

They probably would be accepted, even in their current state of deficit. So pressed for volunteers is the average recruiter, they stalk high schools and malls, do aggressive campaigns targeting specific groups-- years ahead of enlistment age (as mere kids)-- and more than once have been called on the carpet by their own superiors for bending the rules about qualification minimums. Military obligations are being simply ignored in order to extend tours.

As usual, wars of the rich are fought by the predominately poor. Were this a draft situation, Bush could not take the heat.

Thank Goodness he won't be our next president.
As to his apology..Hog-wash..What he said he meant, the apology was just to try and get out of jail....
