Kerry reception at Guard convention "icy."
PBS "News" | vanity

Posted on 09/16/2004 5:08:31 PM PDT by Jerry W. Howard

Just watched the account on PBS news of the Kerry Guard convention speech. They juxtaposed about 3 minutes of Bush's speech a couple of days ago with 3 minutes of Kerry's speech today. Although they made no verbal comment, the difference was so devastating for Kerry that I am amazed they showed it! (Bush was recieved warmly, smiling faces, appropriate applause, etc.) Kerry on the other hand delivered his defeatist screed to stonefaced silence. The camera panned at times to a few listeners walking out, a few boo's and NOT A SINGLE CLAP BY ANYONE IN THE CROWD! Kerry paused as if waiting for applause a few times, but NOTHING! I was dumfounded that they showed this on PBS!

Did anyone get another view?

NO APPLAUSE for promising to end the back door draft.

Interesting.

No wonder, these are the men responsible for recruiting into the Guard.

"Did he say he respects a soldier serving the Commander in Chief? OMG his short term memory is in full view...."

I apologize...

Gotta admit, I'm drifting in and out of a waking sleep...

"Listen to him pander about lack of equipment when the audience knows he did NOT vote to fund it. Man is insane and the applause you hear are from his lackeys in the audience."

I don't think more than a dozen Guardsmen are buying his BS -- and it's baaad BS.

And here he is quoting the bible?? ("The truth shall set you free") Man, he is too much.

My impression is that the Guard is not buying this.

Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them. Oh sorry, wrong story. Kerry's audience of thousands of National Guardsmen cheered his every utterance with foot-stomping enthusiasm Yeah, that's the ticket - AP

A fantasy world of spin? F'n is insane. He lives in a fantasy world of spin. In fact, I think he's really Alice in F'nland.
