Without naming anybody, Kerry said he had received words of encouragement from leaders abroad who were eager to see him defeat Bush on Nov. 2.

"I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly, but boy they look at you and say, 'You've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy,' things like that," he said.

[corkoman]

Yeah - like North Korea

[Tacis]

Watch out!! It's "KERRY AND HIS AXIS OF WEASEL!"

[Young Werther]

He oughta know.

His campaign, to date, has featured this technique!

Some of the leaders were not named, but we can guess these are a few.

Yeah, Flipper, listen to those foreign leaders. They can't possibly have anything but the best interests of American in mind /sarcasm.

[KellyAdmirer]

Ummm, which foreign leaders have you been meeting with, Mr. Kerry? Press hasn't mentioned a thing about such meetings.

Democratic White House candidate John Kerry predicted on Monday Republicans would try to "tear down" his character

Isn't this what he's been doing to the President? I despise this man. He brings out the worst in me. This campaign is going to get real ugly by the time the Fall rolls around.

[Puppage]

I SUPPORT KERRY!!

[mewzilla]

Ayatollah What's-His-Name. That little wart in North Korea. Chiraq. Schroeder. Align yourself with the nation's adversaries. Smooth move, bright boy.

[sam_paine]

Good to know. A "foreign leader" who says HE needs America to adopt a new policy, and he plans to support Kerry in exchange for that payback? Ok. Treason?

[GraceCoolidge]

I saw this on the news... I am sure most of us can guess who these "foreign leaders" supporting Kerry might be..... Osama Bin Laden for one! When is the media going to ask Kerry to name one of these "personal attacks" he keeps complaining about? I wish just one reporter would have the guts to ask him what he's talking about... and to point out that the Democrats spent weeks claiming Bush was AWOL, that he was "reading to children" when 9/11 happened, that he had prior knowledge of 9/11, etc., etc. I thought I was used to the media bias, but to see Kerry's continued whining about "personal attacks" go unchallenged when he's been doing nothing but dish them out himself is really irritating.

Um, let me guess: Osama Bin Laden and Fidel Castro?

Remember the First Law of Propaganda: Accuse your opponent of that which you do yourself. Except for Democrats, it is the first, second and third law.

[BMC1]

Don't forget bin Laden and the rest of the terrorist groups around the world including th UN.

[MarkT]

This would make a great ad - use the exact quote by Kerry and then follow it up with "Bon chance, Jean" and whatever it is in German, North Korean, etc.

[rabidralph]

I hope these foreign supporters back up their encouragement with some money for Kerry's campaign. Anything less would be lip service.

See, John Kerry is no Manchurian Candidate.
Instead he is openly a tool of foreign powers.
