[angryliberal-2009]

now he trying to pull a Bill Clinton and play with words.

[angryliberal-2009]

what a smuck, Kerry is a disgrace and his record proves his arrogant distain for the military. This is a guy who brought a video camera with him to Vietnam in the 60's to get footage for future campaign videos, this is a guy who called our troops in Vietnam murderers and rapists, this is a guy who said that our troops dont need to be in Iraq breaking in Iraqi homes and terrorizing children at night, this is a little boy who makes juvenile jokes about the education level of our troops in Iraq. To top it off he has the audacity and arrogance to refuse to apologize.

huskerarmy, I grew up in the hood also and I'm also a vet......... I rather spend my time with a real vet John McCain ......... not someone who has lied again again about his service......120 days and 3 purple hearts and Kerry was out of Vietnam........ back sailing his boat in Mass.

[kevboom]

Yes, let's focus on a stupid comment, not six years of destroying the environment, economy, education, and civil rights, making no progress on medical care, lying to the people, getting thousands of troops killed and maimed for nothing, increasing terrorist activity against Americans worldwide, doling out tax breaks to big oil, record debt, and I could go on. Can't Republicans recognize SPIN for what it is... propaganda for the feeble-minded who can't remember two days in the past?! Wake up, your country is flushing down the toilet, while you rally 'round the flag.

Here is the truth...

Quote USA Today: Posted 10/9/2006 12:18 PM ET WASHINGTON (AP) %u2014 The U.S. Army recruited more than 2,600 soldiers under new lower aptitude standards this year, helping the service beat its goal of 80,000 recruits in the throes of an unpopular war and mounting casualties.

=======

Our government lowered aptitude standards in order to replace our dying soldiers. This is no joke...

"John Kerry is a rich white liberal snob."

I grew up in the hood and I would much rather spend time with fellow Viet Name veteran John Kerry than any stuffed shirt GOPer.

"you mean the war in Iraq that John Kerry voted for along with almost all of his fellow Democrat pals???..."

I imagine you think you've said something very clever here. What you've really done is illustrate a problem you have dealing with the changing landscape of the reality that is Iraq.

[jetlizhan]

I'm going to try and be just as bipartisan as I can - I'm writing this, not as a Democrat or Republican, but as a supporter of our troops. I think I know what Kerry was trying to say; however, his choice of words were very damning to our great military. Shame on you John Kerry. You're in the media, limelight, etc - you need to be very sure of what you MEAN to say and what you DO SAY. That was a hard slap in our troops faces and I'm so embarrassed and ashamed of this remark. They are over there giving their lives and you stand there in your "safeness" and expensive suits and state that our military gets the bottom of the barrel compared to college graduates. I'm appalled. Whether this was your intentions or not, hell yes - you owe the US military an apology!!!

[perception5]

huskerarmy, your intolerance is showing...... yeah..... decorated in phony purple hearts...Kerry broke the Guiness world record by collecting 3 purple hearts in about 120 days......

[huskerarmy]

I just have one question for you thinking impaired GOP drones. There's a network just for you. Why are you not on the Fox site posting your feeble minded spew over there? You can't defend your record over the past six years. You have nothing to stand on. 105 of our troops died in October. All you can do is run racist ads, beat up former marines and manipulate the truth to fabricate a story and assasinate the character of a decorated Viet Nam vet. And if you weren't disgusting enough, you must throw you vile mindless blather in the face of those who disagree with you. Are you just so desperate and bitter? You have truely sunk to the bottom of the gutter and you are digging vigerously. You should go to Fox. They have easy words and bright colors just for you. I think you might find comfort there.

[perception5]

John Kerry is a rich white liberal snob. He couldn't tell the truth if his life counted on it.
He was clearly talking about the troops.... because you don't tell a group of college students that .....if you don't maintain your grades you're end up stuck in Iraq..... you mean the war in Iraq that John Kerry voted for along with almost all of his fellow Democrat pals???...

[edjohn66]

Just when I thought we Americans were all smart enough to see through the Republican propaganda machine......

I'm aghast at how willing we are to accept the lies and illusions that are told to us by Bush and co.

[einsteinian2]

Gimme a break. It is SO obvious that the Republicans are snapping back at Kerry to win last miunute points with voters. How can they placate dems about how Kerry was "insentive" or "disrespectful" to troops dead or still serving in Iraq when Bush is doing worse by politicizing this thing to the Rep's benefit. If Bush cared so much about the troops, he wouldn't have sent them into that hell hole to begin with.

[fallngempire]

What complete and total toss. Anyone who believes that this news story is anything more than Republican obsfuscation trying to cover their lack of success AND lack of a platform to run on deserves 6+ more years of total incompetence and mismanaged government.

In this magical land of fantasy a war veteren who's voted FOR the troops and against the megacorporations looting the treasury is now somehow a "hater of the troops", and a man who dodged the draft via his rich daddy, didn't even serve the limited stateside amount he was assigned to, and now is sending our boys to die in a war 60 percent of Americans believe is not even a just war is somehow speaking FOR the troops?

HOW DARE YOU.

[peterbaldwin-2009]

The Democrats can't even defend their own, but they are all we have for the moment.

[gslinger3]

This was no "Botched Joke"
john kerry has made it clear over the past couple years how he feels about our military and this statement is just further evidence of it, frankly the DNC needs to distance themselves from this guy as fast as they can. They may win elections short term on the anti Iraq stance, but there is no way they can ride this anti-military platform and expect to have any long term success at all, maybe the left wing radical kooks will love it but they are in the extreme minority, mainstream American people will not stand for it at all!
