Freepers, A little Help Please.

Posted on 08/05/2004 9:10:28 AM PDT by ArmyBratproud

I am looking for the Kerry quote from today. The totally shameless one. I know, I know...which one? The one where he was critical of Bush sitting with the school children, and not jumping up and scaring the kids...when being told about the planes on 9/11.


TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: help; kerry

I think this was a point of the Michael Mooron film .... but I didn't hear that Kerry had addressed it.

I haven't heard about that one. I'm still trying to digest the "bring the moderate Muslim and European nations to the table" conference thingy...

I heard it on the radio this morning...

He spoke of how he would have told the children that he had urgent matters to take care of and walked out of the room..


However we know there would have been NO attack with either a Pres. Gore or Pres. Kerry LOL

Kerry, speaking to minority journalists at their annual Unity convention, "was warmly accepted throughout his speech and he drew big applause with his comments about the lack of minority journalists and ownership of televion stations and newspapers," MSNBC.com's Darrell Bowling reported.

Yeah, diversity for diversity's sake. That'll work.

He really said it?? Wow the man seems to have no shame. Does he really think this will attract,rather than offend, voters?

And every little kid would have thought he had to go potty.

A prime example of confusing movement with progress.

I guess this means Kerry accepts the Mickey Moore position that Bush knew we were under attack immediately and that it was not an accident.

Really nice to have total inside information as to everyone's state of knowledge at that point in time.

Of course, if he knew it was not an accident, the next step is that he knew that because he knew it was coming.

We've seen the edited quote in which Kerry chastises the President for continuing to read to the schoolchildren, but here is the entire quote in which Kerry lays out what he would have done. I got it from my TiVo when I went back and watched the West Coast feed of the Minority Journalist Unity conference on the gay and lesbian channel on my digital cable TV, otherwise known as Bravo. This is an exact quote, so please distribute it widely.

“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to...”

"...such as making sure they're kept in public schools with no hope of vouchers, so they can't interact with my grandchildren; making sure they can be raised by lesbians and transgendered partners; making sure their mothers' have the right to kill their little brothers and sisters as they enter the birth canal; and making sure that they understand the exciting danger I was in while serving in Vietnam."

Weren't most of these quotes attributed to Al Gore in 2000?
