Kerry appearance at American Legion - live thread

self

[rudy45]

Sorry for starting this thread so early. Is this like calling "shotgun" three days before the trip starts LOL?

I was trying to find out the time that the Senator's speech will occur. I found nothing at the Legion website (www.legion.org), nor at the Kerry site, nor at CSPAN. When will the speech be given?

Anyway, here is a thread for people to post their comments.

General Shinseki......of black berets for everyone, purchased from China. That's Shinseki!

Share the costs? The Europeans, including the British, are cutting their defense expeditures.

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Couldn't agree more. As a longtime legionaire I can tell you that lots of members would have to sneak up on a rock...they are as you say, interested in the price of beer in the canteen and what the Government can give them.

[Jewels1091]

You know...the room sounds kinda empty...I want a room shot!!

[Just mythoughts]

"Would "political whores" be too strong, or too cheap a shot, here?"

Not at alllll!

[COEXERJ145]

I think the creep is winning over the vets...

WTF are you smoking?

[NorCoGOP]

These AL guys really are letting me down.

Give them some consideration.

Despite the person speaking, these veterans do something Kerry forgot to do when he returned from Vietnam, about veterans and people in general.

Veterans more likely than not treat EVERYONE with respect.

I would assume the silence is the most respectful response they can give Kerry.

What Kerry REALLY means is he will GIVE the French and German GOVERNMENT contracts to work in Iraq AFTER they REFUSED to help us FIGHT THE WAR!!!!!!

[spiffy]

Maybe they all left.

[faithincowboys]

THe AL is not an organization my family will be supporting any longer. Sorry guys!!

This is like the ADL letting Hitler lecture them. Sorry, buds, you shot your load.

[dawn53]

This is going to play so well to his base,LOL! Bet the guys at DU are having a tissy fit!!!!

[maineman]

He can snowboard like no ones brother.

[texasflower]

You're right. He tries to speak normally, but he always reverts to this.

[sweetiepiezer]

OMG, I have to issue my second, PUKE ALERT!!!!

[highlandbreeze]

I just turned this on and Sen. Kerry does not look happy or comfortable.

[InterceptPoint]

That statement brought almost no applause.

Sounds like an audience of about 50 to 100. Anybody got the real figure?

[mass55th]

"He sounds like an antiwar protester"

He was one before he went into the service, he was one during his service, and he was one after he came home. Leopards don't change their spots. He's still one.

He doesn't even sound convincing in this speech. He doesn't even sound like he believes what he's saying.

[MamaLucci]

So............does this mean he's not going to apologize to the Swiftees?
He'll be soooorrrryyy!

[kabar]

Terrible speech.

[MEG33]

I switched back over and heard him when he went after Bush and even Afghanistan failures...and found I just can't listen to him..BARF...Just can't.
