John Kerry: Funeral Crashing Loser
www.crushkerry.com ^ | 6/9/04 | www.crushkerry.com

Posted on 06/09/2004 5:45:04 AM PDT by crushkerry

We’ve heard of gate-crashers, party crashers, but never Funeral Crashers (unless you count the hilarious scene in the movie ‘Clerks”). That was, until today. Senator John Kerry announced today that he will be attending President Reagan’s funeral. Our only question is “Was he invited?”

Sure, we know that many dignitaries and other Senators will attend, but how many announce it so publicly, and make a point of stopping by the memorial for 20 minutes (doing what for 20 minutes?) with a photographer?

Not only that, but the blatantly hypocritical Catholic (In Name Only) made sure the cameras caught him closing his eyes, making the sign of the cross, bowing his head in reverence and mumbling a prayer. We wonder if that “prayer” mirrored the bile he is allowing to be spewed on his campaign website?

Are we saying Kerry’s being insincere in his actions for the benefit of the cameras and to keep himself in the spotlight? Well, only he knows for certain. But given his pathetic need to be loved and be the center of attention our money is on him being a press whore.

In fact, the major reason Kerry gives for allegedly liking President Reagan and President George H.W. Bush is that they met with him more than does the current President Bush Can you imagine someone so shallow as to base their like or dislike of another person on the numbers of times they see them? Cry me a freaking river. And does he really think we are dumb enough to believe he would stop criticizing President Bush if he were invited over for tea?

But, to Kerry‘s credit he is not throwing a temper tantrum because he is not invited to speak, unlike the no class former President Bill Clinton. Congratulations Senator - you have a little more class than Der Slickmeister. Quite an accomplishment there.

Getting back to his attendance at the Reagan funeral, Kerry knows that by attending he is ensuring the press will be cutting to show him in attendance while listening to President Bush‘s eulogy (which we guarantee will not be self-serving like Senator Kerry‘s “appearance“ today).

We think, however, that whenever they cut to him appearing to be somber, they should do a "split screen". While showing hsi picture on one side of the screen, they could run text in the other half of the screen so that the viewer reads all the negative, hateful, and untrue comments Kerry made about President Reagan while he was alive. Doing so would surely belie his claims of how much he liked President Reagan while he was alive.

We know the Reagan’s are far too classy to think of something like what we propose below, but we are at crushkerry.com are not bounded by such niceties. We think that anyone should be allowed to attend the funeral with one caveat.

Any politician, current or former world leader, or other notable person who attends must be screened.

Roped off in one corner would be Senators Kerry and Kennedy, Presidents Carter and Clinton, damn near the entire Democratic Senate and House Caucus, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the rest of the losers, communists, and socialists who thought that Reagan was a nothing but a war mongering buffoon that hated the poor.

However, in the other section of honor would be Margaret Thatcher, Lech Walesa, George W. Bush and others with similar characteristics and goals shared by President Reagan. All of the people in this section would be those who played or are playing a part in achieving what will be the ultimate legacy of Ronald Reagan - freedom of all people from tyranny.

Imagine the stark contrast that such a divide would easily create for the viewer. On one side those whose ideas and ideology have ended up, in President Reagan’s words, “on the ash heap of history”. On the other would be those who have devoted their lives to freeing enslaved people, and fought to save civilization against anarchy and tyranny.

And we all know what side of that line John Kerry would be on.

Did Kerry bring a 15 pound "Clinton Bible" for the photo op?

The one he'd carry out of church for the cameras, just before getting a Lewinski behind the oral office.

Typical lib. Symbolism over substance.

Despite the guidelines of "absolutely no photographs")for spectators/viewers, Kerry brought his own photographer to video his inside-the-ropes pose. Had the casket been open, he might very well have shook President Reagan's hand, hoping for another vote. Shameless and boorish behavior...thy name is kerry.

"If the Rats don't get their time in the sun on the backs of the Reagan family, they'll cry "foul.""

That's one of the main problems with the liberals and the media...they tend to do double backflips everytime the left cries "foul".

Well, my grandchildren cry "foul" if one doesn't get as many cookies as the other, then the one who gets more cries "na-na-nah-na-naaahhhh-na" to the others.

I once read that when a [spoiled] child pitches a tantrum, the best thing to do is ignore them and let them kick and scream until they figure out it isn't going to get them what they want.

Of course the media with their pipe dream of being Lois Lane and Clark Kent thrives on tantrums...it's "news" for them them.

They also thrive on playing "oneupmanship", toting tales that are designed to pit any two groups at one another. If their "he said, she said" can't get two factions fighting [thereby creating even more "news"], they have had a wasted day.

The libs are excellent sources of "news" for the busybody media, because they are ALWAYS bitchin' and moanin' about something or other. What is especially attractive about this to the media, is that most of them are of the same liberal mindset as the whiners.

The left is going to [excuse the crass expression] "milk" this event for all it is worth to them, politically. It's a given. DemocRATS always do this sort of thing...it grates them to know that someone else - especially a conservative - is getting more public attention than they.

But, looking at the 2,000 people per hour paying their respects to President Reagan - and that is in California, a liberal state - it says more about the President than all of the dan rathers in the world. Hearing people comment over cubicle walls in offices, who were in the 2nd grade when Reagan was President, means very little when juxtapposed to the outpouring of love by the public.

So, for my part, the libs can kick and scream and hold their collective breath in a spasmotic twitch in their continual National tantrum, it means nothing. President Reagan's race has been run, and the love and respect we see coming from the public far outweighs the naysayers, and the funeral crashers.

It's easy for modern day libs to mouth off, trying to fit today's RAT talking points to the former President, but they weren't around when President Reagan had all of the RATS flummoxed; he had them sitting around, with one of their fingers in their mouth, a finger on the other hand in their butts...and when Reagan said "switch"...THEY DID.

I give him 1 point for having enough respect to show up, and deduct 1 point for turning it into a photo-op.

Lemme correct the above point scoring for you:
-10 points for having the AUDACITY to show up, and deduct 100 points for turning it into a photo-op.

How can you vote for a total scumbag, even if you're a liberal?

I think you answered the first part of your question with the last part of it!

I think you are being far to cynical in this whole moment.

Now Kerry's campaign is talking about Optimism...he's paying respects publicly to Reagan. You need to cool your partisan jets and take a look around, THAT'S A BIG WIN FOR AMERICA.

So he's insincere? Who cares, when is he not? The important point is how this discharges the hatred fueling the other side. Reagan's magnanimous character is winning the day once again, and it appears you are hurting that outcome by being so provacative. Let them tag along, let them piggy back, its wonderful. In the end it will insure his Mondale/Carter-like failure, malicious Anger was the only thing pushing that campaign, without it it will collapse on its own immorarilty...just like the USSR.

From what I've heard, Peggy Noonan plans on waiting in line. Shows the difference between those with class, and those without.

I find Peggy's appproach to be quite heartening, myself.

Part of the respects I payed at the Reagan Library was actually standing in the line and waiting my turn.
