PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia (AP) -- Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad endorsed Democratic contender John Kerry in the U.S. presidential race Thursday, saying he would keep the world safer than President Bush.
"I think Kerry would be much more willing to listen to the voices of people and of the rest of the world," Mahathir, who retired in October after 22 years in power, told The Associated Press in an interview.

"I think Kerry would be much more willing to listen to the voices of people and of the rest of the world," Mahathir, who retired in October after 22 years in power, told The Associated Press in an interview. This endorsement alone should nullify any chance Kerry has among voters with more than two brain cells in a row.
But there are a lot of voters who don't have two brain cells in a row.

Outstanding, the more of these Islamic leaders whom endorse Kerry the better.
Chalk up Malaysia to John Kerry's "coalition of appeasement".
Now if we could only get Chirac to publicly endorse John Kerry as well.

Is Kerry very, very certain that he wants the endorsements of foreigners? He ought to think it over very carefully.

Here's the irony--Soros ruined the Malaysian economy prompting much of Mahathir's anti-semitic remarks. Kerry has reunited these old foes under his banner.
To: Clara Lou
Excellent. Now his list includes Kim Il Jong, who replays Kerry's speeches on his TV network, Al Jazerra and this old anti-semite. Wonder how the Jewish block vote in NY is feeling about all this?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
The Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad endorsed Democratic contender John Kerry So John "al-"Qerry garners support from the kind of ruler who says, "The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them." Hm.

Soros "trashed" the Malaysian Ringgit in 1987. He is not allowed in Malaysia! I don't think Mahathir is anti american, per se. I live in Kuala Lumpur 5 months a year. I know the average Malaysian likes americans. They ought to, we have made them a lotta money:)
To: conserv13
I guarantee Mahathir does not know that:)
To: international american
I never said he was anti-American. I said he hated Soros, and he does, Soros is funding the 527 Moveon because he hates George Bush.

Kerry's backers are going to have to send out emails begging the world's leaders to keep their endorsements of him (assuming that these endorsements exist, of course) to themselves. Jewish voters need to think very hard about comments like Matahir's. Of course, I think that there are too many self-loathers among them
To: the Real fifi
Soros is singlehandedly caused anti semitism in much of Asia. In Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, he is "The Devil"..I live in the USA(home grown) and Malaysia.
To: international american
LMAO - Last time they supported Bush over Gore.
