Odd photo: John Kerry being condescending to his African-American aide?
Reuters via Yahoo News Photos ^ | 8/19/04

Posted on 08/19/2004 3:15:17 PM PDT by Wolfstar

A news report posted on another thread indicates that John Kerry was not happy about the reception he received at the VFW convention. He was ticked that his staff said he'd get a warm reception, but instead it was cool, if not downright cold.

This photo shows Kerry in what appears to be a fully condescending mode toward his black aide. Kerry's face is grim and stern. His eyebrows are raised and he's wagging that finger at the poor aide, who looks startled.

Here's Yahoo's caption: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry talks to his campaign trip director Setti Warren (L) before a 'Front Porch Visit' on health care in Derry, New Hampshire August 19, 2004. Kerry accused U.S. President George W. Bush of using surrogates to 'do his dirty work,' as the Democratic presidential challenger hit back on Thursday at a Republican assault on his Vietnam War record. REUTERS/Brian Snyder US ELECTION

He's probably a Secret Service agent.

John Kerry thinks he's superior to another?

Get out!

Who? The black guy? Nope. Read the Yahoo caption. He's Setti Warren, Kerry's trip director.

How about a fellow veterans' assault?

John Kerry is incapable of treating anyone who is not of his "class" as an equal.

Kerry is without question a condescending jerk, but I don't see what you saw in this photo.

Odd sound heard throughout the Kerry Campaign Headquarters, AKA Waffle House, in the style of Spaceballs, 1987:

Thank you for pressing the self-destruct button. This campaign will self-destruct in approximately 75 days.

I think you're reaching on this one. Kerry doesn't even appear to be talking to the black guy, but to someone who's out of the picture. The black guy is probably a secret service agent.

If that photo shows what it appears to, you have nailed his character.

I know, but Kerry is also known for dissing his Secret Service agents too.

Kerry would not discriminate in such a way! I'm sure he is equally condescending to everybody.
