John Kerry is really REALLY angry as you can see in his HUffington Blog POST titled, "Will You Fight With Them?" Basically he blames the Swift Boat Vets For Truth for causing his 2004 defeat. Many folks, including Democrats, wondered why Kerry simply didn't counter their charges back in 2004. It could have been done very simply by sending in his Form 180 to the Defense Department to release his Navy records. He didn't do it at the time nor did he do it later when he promised Tim Russert that he would sign his Form 180. Yes, he did sign his form 180 but somehow forgot to SEND it in. So rather than put this military record controversy behind him by signing and SENDING in his Form 180 he is setting up a bogus organization called the Patriot Project to do his fighting for him. So let us now watch John Kerry crybaby about his "unfair" treatment in Bolshevik Red along with his HUffie cheerleaders while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching Mama T's Boy Toy sink himself again, is in the [brackets]:
Anyone who comes to Huffington Post has seen that the bloggers here have been the first to stand up and defend veterans from Admiral Sestak to Tammy Duckworth when they've been slandered. It should be a source of pride and testimony to how the blogosphere can get the truth out and deny lies a sliver of daylight.
[Posted John Kerry from somewhere deep in Cambodia.]
But I need to tell you about a bigger effort that many here at Huffington Post have been working on very hard these last few weeks - and could use all of our help with from now to November 7th.
[You won't have to worry about November 2008 since you won't be getting that far thanks to Hillary.]
The Patriot Project has an incredibly important and concise mission. "Freedom of speech and the right to dissent are cornerstones of our democracy. The Patriot Project will defend any man or woman, regardless of party or affiliation, who is attacked or defamed and whose patriotism is questioned simply because they exercise their rights as Americans. This is our mission."
[Your mission is to shout out any Kerry critic. You are hoping that you can put up such a whining fuss that nobody will notice what the Swift Boat Vets For Truth are saying...or the fact that you have NOT sent in your Form 180.]
That's pretty damn fundamental in itself to who we are. But there's a human face behind it. The fight is intensely personal to me. Veterans are running for office all over our country. A lot of them got interested in politics as part of my campaign, and some got involved in Wes Clark's race. Some of us had disagreements for thirty five years -- like me and Jim Webb, we didn't see eye to eye over the war we fought in. But no matter where we came from, something much bigger now brings us together -- we're all a band of brothers now. When I got off the phone with Patrick Murphy after the chickenshit attacks on his military record, something felt awfully familiar and it got me pissed off. I care about these men and women. They've got guts and they've got brains and they've got heart and I'm telling you they will change the character of this pathetic Congress, and I'm boiling mad watching people who didn't serve attack those who did because they can't win a debate on the merits.
[You're boiling mad alright. The fact that the Swift Boat Vets sunk your candidacy has been seared, SEARED into your memory and you don't want it to happen again.]
But we need to take our anger and put it somewhere constructive - and the folks at Patriot Project have a very smart way of doing exactly that. They've been exposing front group after front group that have popped up this year just as they did in 2004, and they've been kicking the enemy right in the teeth.
[Methinks you need to consult with Dr. Buddy Rydell for your Anger Management Program. You STILL haven't gotten over your 2004 loss due to the Swift Boat Vets exposure of you.]
From Bob Perry's Economic Freedom Fund to "Vets For Truth" which has been attacking a once and forever Marine Jack Murtha, The Patriot Project has been fighting back. And fighting back hard.
[We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow. Village after village. Army after army.]
Yesterday, I had the chance to send out an email on behalf of The Patriot Project, asking people to help do whatever they can to support their mission.
[I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving.]
But if there's one thing I've learned in politics, it's that you need to ask and ask and ask again. I'm asking again here today. Please visit www.patriotproject.com. Learn more about what they're doing and where they're planning on fighting these final weeks. With our help, they will be out there from California to Pennsylvania and everywhere in between.
[My mission is to make it up into Cambodia. There's a Green Beret Colonel up there who's gone insane. I'm supposed to kill him.]
It's up to all of us to say enough is enough. Stop the swift-boating. Stop the push-polling. Stop the front groups that are created with single $5,000,000 donations from Texas tycoons.
[Part of me was afraid of what I would find and what I would do when I got there. I knew the risks, or imagined I knew. But the thing I felt the most, much stronger than fear, was the desire to confront him.]
Nitpick the campaign I ran all you want, question the tactics, I can take it -- but above all the small criticisms, I know that I lost to two lies backed up by big money: a lie about Iraq and a lie about my military record. Pundits can feast on the little details, I'm busy this year making sure that no veteran loses to a lie in 2006.
[I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything. Everything I did, everything you saw, because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me Willard, you will do this for me.]
Stand up for the truth by supporting The Patriot Project.
[The horror. The horror. ...And now to hear from the HUffington Post Peanut Gallery...]
When the greatest Prsidential candidate in decades gets behind something so worthwhile then look out Congress! Kerry/Un-Edwards in '08!!!
[Great endorsement of the Breck Girl there---Un-Edwards. Or do you mean Un-Breck?]
Thank you, Senator Kerry. I believe the Patriot Project is certainly a worthy cause. However, although the Swift Boat liars may have convinced some, you did not lose because of them. You did not lose at all. You are the rightful President of the United States.
[I BEEEEEELEEEEEEVE John Kerry was inaugurated President on Jan. 20, 2005.]
The exit polls showed you the clear landslide winner - until they were changed after midnight on that fateful November day in 2004.
[And we all know that polls are completely accurate...much more so than the final poll where people actually vote.]
If you would like to make another run for the Presidency, Senator Kerry, I believe you owe your supporters an explanation as to why you did not fight for us - and for the security of our franchise - in November of 2004. Because you stepped away from this battle, our voting systems are even more of a disaster this year. Since the GOP is so far behind in the polls, it will have more incentive than ever to employ its dirty tactics of voter suppression, purging and hacking the easily programmable voting machines. What are you planning to do about this, Senator?
[John Kerry has your back.]
Yay! You're pissed off and you called their attacks chickenshit. I just wish you'd done it in 2004. After the predictable pat response from the chickenhawks about profanity and lack of values, etc (never mind that they're potty mouths themselves, big time) I think you would have won w/ enough room to beat back their dirty tricks in Ohio.
[Yay!]
It's good to see John Kerry show some fire. This is how he should have run his campaign, from the heart. Because this is not a chess game, it's a street fight.
[John Kerry plans to run his next campaign like a loon.]
It wasn't just the big money that helped sell the lies. It was also the corporate media which is owned by Big Money.
[And we all know that Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Brian Williams, etc. are all in the Republican corporate media Big Money pocket.]
You WON the election! You ARE the rightful president! Why didn't you fight for the presidency the way you fought for America in Vietnam? Now we're living in a dictatorship. It's too late; the elections are rigged.
[Give up hope...NOW!!!]
It is our right to be free from a totalitarian regime. We as the human race have earned that much.
[Spaketh a member of the reality based community.]
'..chickenshit attacks, '..pissed off'. Where was THIS John Kerry when we needed him two years ago. If he keeps up this level of passion, he might just earn my vote, AGAIN.
[John F. Kerry is just two F-words away from earning your vote.]
In the absence of some serious "game quality elevation" by the Democrats - which I have not seen - Democrats will lose again. In fact, we are one terrorist attack; a Bin Laden catching; a boom cycle away from sticking a fork in the hopes of the Democrats to win a majority in congress for years to come. At some point, brilliant bullshit artistes like Rove will run rings around the Democrats so completely that I'm switching to the Republican party to avoid being targeted for assignment to the Re-Education Camps.
[Too bad for you that we are already in a boom cycle so you better switch to Republican before Karl Rove can send you away to a WalMart Re-Education Camp, my reality based little HUffie.]
Senator, please help your party in this way: You have a lot of cash in your campaign account. Free some up for the DCCC and perhaps the DSCC - there are a lot more races in play than there were even a month ago. Sadly, TV is perhaps the only way to reach a lot of voters, and TV costs money. Your party and your country need this. Please help in this way - it may be the most valuable thing you can do this fall.
[Unfortuately, Mama T is getting tired of being hit up for money.]
Also, if you do run in 2008 (please do!), stop talking like a prosecutor. Prosecutors have to present and then demolish their opponents' lines of defense so they can leave the jury with no other alternative but to accept the state's version of what happened. That doesn't work in Presidential politics. In the age of 30 second sound-bites, there is no room for acknowledging the opposition. Doing so only makes you seem indecisive. That's why they were able to tar you as a "flip-flopper." Either make your case unapologetically or attack their position; either attack or defend with everything you've got anything less than single-minded focus might impress the interviewer, but it will lose your audience. If you are clear, concise, focused and uncompromising you will win.
[John Kerry clearly and concisely told us he was signing his Form 180. It was only the sending it in part that he wasn't so clear about.]
What did he do for his own state except grab federal dollars for a Big Dig project? If he did something for Mass., and if he intended to do things for the country, he didn't seem to want us to know about it.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
Super! Will they help dfend Bush? He is being called a deserter and AWOL by the anti-US crowd and saying he is a theocrat, not a patriot!
[The Patriot Project only defends Democrats, not EVIL Republicans.]
My vote for you in 2004 was a waste because you did not fight for it, and those of others like me. Shame on you.
[John Kerry has your back.]
It's a little late for Milque Toast Kerry to say we have to stand up to them. After lying back and letting them Swift Boat him in 2004 makes him the #1 Pansy in my book. Hey Kerry: go off with Mike Dukakis and have some policy discussions.
[One of them looked like Snoopy and the other looked like the Energizer BUnnie.]
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
Bow to me lesser replyers!
1st
Dang. I had to log-in .
PING!
IBTP!!!!!
This is getting tiresome. We don't question his patriotism (such as it is), we question his judgement!
The dims may take back the Congress, but Hanoi John will never be President of the United States.
Yay! Another DUFU!
I question both.
10th.
First time I could have a shot at top 10.
And we also question that missing Form 180 - you know, the one he said would prove that the SwiftBoat allegations were false. The one he said he'd sign but never did.
I've been questioning this @#$%^'s patriotism since 1971 when he called my father a baby killer.
And in "his" post, Kerry speaks in the language that DUmmies understand:
"When I got off the phone with Patrick Murphy after the chickenshit attacks on his military record, something felt awfully familiar and it got me pissed off. I care about these men and women."
It's a signal to his fans: being angry and cussing at your opponents is the way to fend-off criticism.
What's to question.
Haven't seen him show any yet.
When he does maybe it will be worth a question or two.
Oooouch!! Now that has to sting...
So, when is John Kerry going to defend President Bush, VP Cheney, Condi Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, etc from the howling banshees who scream 24/7 that they caused 9-11, and are traitors who "betrayed" this country (read "unAmerican")?
:::crickets:::
"What? Spend MY OWN money? BWAHahahaha. You effin' peons kill me. Now finish cutting my effin' lawn." --john effin' kerry
My, my, what presidential language. But it is the elite John Forbes Kerry-Heinz using it, so it is intelligent and highbrow. Imagine if President Bush wrote that sentence...the shrill-o-meter would crack.
PJ - Loved your use of the Apocalypse Now script. So appropriate to Kerry.
And this supporter's comment had me laughing my butt off: "Why didn't you fight for the presidency the way you fought for America in Vietnam?"
Didn't he?
