Live Thread: Kerry on Imus (starts 7:29 EST 09/15/04)
Imus Radio Show ^ | 09/15/04 | Don Imus

Posted on 09/15/2004 4:23:20 AM PDT by xm177e2

Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will be the guest at 7:29 am eastern. Senator Kerry has a lot of convincing to do, beginning with the I-Man.. whose support has waned in recent weeks. Despite several polls to the contrary, both campaigns acknowledge a 5-6 point lead for President Bush. Many analysts say it's a result of a post convention bump, and the GOP's ability to make the focus of the election national security and Kerry's record. The challenge for the Senator is to now put the emphasis back on domestic issues while separating the War in Iraq from the War on Terrorism. Can he turn the tide while continuing to play defense? Can he turn all the anti-Bush sentiment into a spark that ignites the Democratic base? Does he think it will ultimately come down to the debates? Will he finally be able to clearly frame his views on Iraq? Is John Edwards the VP candidate he thought he would be? John Kerry has his work cut out.. but, he can take a big step forward on Wednesday morning when/IF he answers the tough questions from IMUS.

You admitted you commited atrocities. What is different with Abu Graib? This should be good.

Honestly, Kerry is back to square one. He is still trying to make the case that Bush needs to be fired and nothing to show why he should he hired. If he cannot make the first sale he has no chance making the second sale.

A listner of this would come away thinking "okay bush is bad but what choice do I have. Kerry hasn't shown how things would be different. Why should I take the chance in changing.

Imus is letting Kerry spin himself silly. Kerry is taking the gloves off. (Those would be genuine corinthian leather, designer gloves bought and paid for by Teresa)

Imus asking if there's a difference in what he did in Vietnam and Abu Graib. Kerry "There is a difference" Kerry rambling.

Wow. Imus set Kerry up. Asked him if Abu Graib was the same thing as what he did. Smooth.

I: "Is there a difference between what happened in your case in Vietnam and what happened in Abu Ghraib?"

K: what i was referring to in that testimony is the general categorization of free fire zones and some of the weapons that were being used (the .50 cal). Says he "never knew" the Geneva Conventions when he was there (aren't all officers supposed to know them?)

What was Kerry's response about the difference? That Kerry didn't use panties?

Kerry is lying again.
Bush was trying to build a coalition, and Clinton and the UN were back-stabbing us the whole time.
Also, Kerry's nasty ommission of crimes by France, Germany, and Russia (as well as Oil for Food) only confirm he thinks we're stupid, and probably doesn't know what a blog is.

Didn't know about free fire zones being war crimes while in VN (is that why zumwalt said kerry made full use of the phrase "free fire" against civilians)
