Kerry reception at Guard convention "icy."

PBS "News" | vanity

[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.

Oh yeah, F'n, YOU are all about the TRUTH.

I despise him. I spit on him. I am digusted by him.

Talk about killing morale! It's the 1971 Senate testimony all over again!

[gortklattu]

Yep, he's bad mouthing the commander in Chief now.....

It's 1971 all over again.

[F16Fighter]

"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.

[ErnBatavia]

CSPN running it right now (The JFK portion)

[AGreatPer]

Amazed, I tell ya. That no one booed Kerry.

This race is over and everyone knows it.

Only think I can figure is last minute physical problems and a sub. Oh, I promised not to go there with whom.

[Bahbah]

My impression is that the Guard is not buying this.

[TheLion]

LOL

[bt_dooftlook]

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

Boy will I be glad I won't have to see this gesture on the nightly news much longer!

Or this one:

[arasina]

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.
