Kerry 'Outraged' Over Bin Laden Tape Impact
NewsMax ^ | October 31, 2004 | Carl Limbacher

John Kerry said Sunday that he's "outraged" that anyone would think the re-emergence of Osama bin Laden on a terror video released Friday may hurt his chances in next Tuesday's election.

"I'm outraged that he has appeared," Kerry told ABC News anchor Peter Jennings. "I'm outraged that he inserts himself in any kind of way into the electoral process of America."

Asked about comments from both his campaign and team Bush suggesting that the bin Laden tape gives the president a big boost in the closing days of the campaign, Kerry told Jennings, "I think it's unfortunate that anybody puts Osama bin Laden into any political context in the United States' election." When reminded that his surrogates were the first to address the bin Laden tape in a political context, Kerry said, "Well, I don't want them doing that. I think that's wrong. I think that every American is outraged at the sight of Osama bin Laden, and anything that he says about the American electoral process."

In fact, minutes after al Jazeera aired the terror tape, Kerry himself politicized the news, saying that bin Laden's continued survival was the result of Bush "outsourcing" the hunt for the terror chief in December 2001.

Actually I thought the Osama tape was pretty deftly crafted. He didn't make any overt threats; he tried to look like some kind of fakir or holy man. IMO, it really was Osama as Michael Moore would present him -- and a clever pitch for the Kerrry candidacy.

No sir! What is "outrageous" is you politicizing OBL in the first place, and lying to the American public about what REALLY happened in Tora Bora! You Sir, are a disgraceful human being and your rhetoric is an insult to those three-thousand ghosts in that hole in lower Manhattan!

I guess this is what one can expect from someone who showed cowardice in the face of the enemy, and sold out his fellow sailors and soldiers who did not.

I apologize for my rant, but frankly I put Kerry below Clinton as far as integrity goes. At least Clinton took a stand for something, and left the country. Anyone who does not willing release his military record is someone that is not proud of their service. The same service he continues to run on!

Let's see Micahel Moore and Jimmah were sitting at the RAT convention in the presidential box. Then Bin Laden spews Micahel Moore's talking poiint almost verbatim on his tape. Yeah we know which side helps buttress Bin Laden's propaganda. Kerry never did repudiates Moore's lies and rather let him the place of honor on TV at "his" coronating convention. Sleep with dogs wake up with Fleas--Ketchup Boy.

I'm outraged that JohhnyNam isn't a registered convicted felon for violating the UCMJ and laws of the United States for traitorous conduct. Why is this charlatan even allowed to run for dog catcher is beyond me.

The maggot may not last long in the Senate. He has now been exposed partially but the rest will come out soon enough.

When the American people pull the lever this Tuesday and drop John Heinz-Kerry into the oubliette of history, he'll find himself bumping around down there with Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, Eugene McGovern, that man who ran with Geraldine Ferraro, Geraldine herself, John Edwards, and a number of other who are long forgotten.

The highly forgettable though persistent Jimmy Carter will also be down there, despite the fact that his name will be in the list of American presidents, assuming that those making the lists don't forget, and that he did demonstrate the meaninglessness of the Nobel Peace Prize. He couldn't even do that first. Yassar Arafat had already done it.

What a prick. He's outraged that Osama hurt his chance at being "the boss." Most of the rest of us are mad because Osama killed about 3000 of our countrymen.

Kerry is such an ***. ><

*apologies for rough language*

He's more worried about this affecting his chances of getting elected than if we should be expecting incoming.

Gad, does that speak volumes about John Kerry.

The vote on Tuesday is not about electing a President, it's really all about him.

I thought he wanted to "outsource" the war? As in turn over operations in Iraq to the French, Germans, UN?

Or does he only object when the outsourcing involves groups who know the terrain and have a vested interest in pacifying Afghanistan - like locals would have? Or does he just object when Bush does it?

Much more so [outrage] than the "NUSIANCE" killing of 3000 Americans, right backstabber?

"...may hurt his chances in next Tuesday's election."

Kerry outraged that the terrorists want him to be elected? Why? When John Kerry favors constraints over the Bush redefination of America thereby shredding those same constratints and doing something possitive about terrorism. The American Communist Party also wants Kerry to be elected and the call has gone out to American Muslims to vote for the man who would appease the terrorists.

President Bush has told the world that this country would no longer sit by the side of the road and do nothing as the former administration and John Kerry did - The Bush Presidency has with the help of the Coalition, formed a revolution in foreign policy - "redefining how the U.S. engages those constraints that "allies and international institutions" have imposed on our freedom - in other words, no more blackmail from terrorist demons and their followers or Oil For Food games the former allies engaged in. If this creates some resentment abroad so be it as EUROPE WAS ON THE TAKE FROM SADDAM.

Don't get your hopes up. After all this is Massachusetts we're talking about. Considering the other perverts and murderers they harbor in their congressional delegation, I have little expectation of that.

Why wouldn't Osama support the candidate that would be most in line with his thinking? Kerry would allow the UN to take over and make all the decisions and the UN won't do anything about terrorists.

This FACT would never have appeared in any MSM story. Thank goodnews for alternative news sources.
