Kerry's scripted hunting trip today was an insult to the integrity of his core supporters in the Animal Rights groups, (PETA), Vegetarians, and others in the environmentalist faction fo the Democratic Party.
Ralph Nader would never consider the barbarism of hunting. It's time these folks hear about and see Kerry smiling as he's walking with a dead goose he shot being carried by its neck.

So.... where is the Purple Heart for this mission?
PETA = PEOPLE EATING TASTY ANIMALS
That's what my husband always says...
Wouldn't that goose start to smell a bit after being left in the field all night?
Umm... I'm not big into guns, but I have to wonder:
Is it normal to carry a gun with it pointed at your foot?
Point two:
Why no outrage from anti-war types, animal-rights types, etc.?
BECAUSE NONE OF THEM BELIEVE HIM, EITHER!
Just so.
Kerry is carrying his shotgun broken open, which is the correct way to carry it safely. No doubt somebody coached him on that, after providing him with the hunting outfit, manly makeup, etc.
It's an over-under and the breech is open, he's actually carrying it pretty safely. Not that I like the man at all, but he's at least not dumb enough to point a locked and loaded shotgun at himself. In this photo.
On another thread that they think this goose will be cooked on 2nd of November.
Kerry is trying to get votes from the huge number of NRA members in some critical states.
thanks for the post. kerry considers to use divide and conquer techniques. clinton was a master at this because the dividing line was always the same regardless of the issue. kerry is dividing his own base. i doubt there is more than 20% of his base (if that) that he has not divided at one time or another, and this is another case. the kerry campaign is completely inept and that is why the bush upward trend continues on the up.
Rush made a point about the hunting trip a little while ago. Said it indicated something might be seriously wrong if he had just shot a "perfectly innocent goose overhead" (/sarc.), had someone carrying it by the neck right next to him, and possibly was upsetting the PETA types, etc.
I think he is just hoping to have a few more counties fall for him in Ohio over something like this. No matter what, PETA people would vote for Ted Bundy or his equivalent if the (D) followed the name in this particular election. And I think some of them understand the blatant ruse anyway. Let's hope the over emotional ones have a stong dose of cognitive dissonance.
The NRA has to see through this, thank God. Big washout for Horseface on this one. Maybe a slight backfire looking at it optimistically.
Animal Rights has NOTHING to do with animals or their rights.
It's about control.
Pure and simple.
Kerry is not in trouble with them.
Good angle here, go for it, can`t hurt to try.
Bullcrap. Animal rights folks are a faction of the deomcrat party and consist of a majority of brainwashed college students who have adopted it as part of their "cool" to fit in with counter culture.
