A one sentence "flip-flop"

[Old Sarge]

HUH?!?

[rocksblues]

Wow! What an idiot! We should make a movie of just Kerry. How bout "Moron in Action"

[Always Right]

Actually this is one of those blunders that Democrats usually try to make hay on. Kerry has enough real flip flops to worry about this mistake.

I'm waiting for the correction by the NYT. I am sure it will be on the front page.

Um, I heard the clip of Kerry's statement, and I don't think you're quoting it correctly. Since I refuse to register for the source, I'll have to assume you got it from them. But it's still not the way I heard it.

Anyone can make a verbal blunder. The President did a couple of weeks ago when he said the enemy is always looking for ways to hur this country and so are we. It wasn't what he meant.

But there is a question that shoud be asked about not what Kerry said, but what he meant. He said the tax burden increased on the Middle Class. He means that the percentage of total tax changed with the Middle Class' tax liability increasing ang the rich's falling. Technically this is true. But the BURDEN of taxpayers in the Middle Class did not change. No middle class taxpayer received a rate increase. They are paying the same or less than before the tax cuts.The rich may be paying less, or they could be paying more as the economy improves and profits increase( See JFK Tax Cuts 1962). I'm pretty sure the GOP has competent people who can intelligently point this out. Though based on the campaign so far I may be thinking wishfully.

This was a slip of the tongue and should be given a pass. Bush has done the same thing, too many times. Reasonable people accept these as a simple mistake, unreasonable people don't (democrats).

[goldstategop]

LMAO! John F*ckin' is a certifiable NUT!!! Just wait til Karl Rove gets ahold of this. Another gift from the Campaign Gods! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Musat be the fog of war.

[Logic n' Reason]

"The truth, which is what elections are all about, is that the tax burden of the middle class has gone up while the tax burden of the middle class has gone down," he said.

Had this gaff come from the mouth of the President, we'd have seen front page headlines in every major newspaper in the US!

Seems our vaunted, objective, professional press corps missed this one too!

Here's A Better One:

From a John Kerry speech commemorating Martin Luther King Day
Speaker: Senator John Forbes Kerry (MA)
Title: Martin Luther King Day Celebration Remarks
Location: Richmond, VA
Date: 01/20/2003

"I will never forget - in particular - what Martin Luther King spoke of when he confessed to being what he called a 'maladjusted' citizen.
.
.
. I remember well April, 1968 - I was serving in Vietnam—a place of violence -- when the news reports brought home to me and my crewmates the violence back home - and the tragic news that one of the bullets flying that terrible spring took the life of that unabashedly maladjusted citizen."

He remembers it "well".

He didn't arrive in Vietnam until November 1968.
