Tonight's "John Ziegler Show" on KFI 640AM in Southern CA played a clip from Senator John F Kerry's appearance at Pasadena City College with candidate Phil Angelides, Democrat for CA governor.
At the event, Kerry had this to say about our brave military volunteers:
"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Just the clip:

How many dems that Kerry is scheduled to campaign with are calling his office to uninvite him?
That sad thing is I bet, not many do. They'll think "What's the problem?" For a large number of the left, this is the way they think...that the only people who go into the military are those that can't cut it in civilian society.
I can't believe he was stupid enough to spew what he really thinks. I'll bet Angelides was about to crawl out of his skin -- at least if he had the intelligence of an earthworm he SHOULD have been.
Perhaps someone with photoshop skills could put a photo of our soldiers on patrol in Iraq beside the photo of Kerry with the beer bong girl with his quote beneath it.
Gotta save this (good comments)
Thanks to Nixon
the lies of Hanoi Kerry and Hanoi Jane
are being told again.
And our military are being slandered in Gitmo, Iraq and Afghanistan
Hanoi Kerry and War Crimes in Vietnam
Hanoi Kerry went before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations in 1971
to accuse the United States military
of committing massive numbers of war crimes in Vietnam.
Too bad that because Nixon failed to uphold the law,
we are still stuck with Hanoi Jane and Hanoi Kerry.
If Nixon hadn't caved into the minority anti-war crowd
and listened to the Silent Majority
Hanoi Jane AND Hanoi Kerry
would have been prosecuted for their treason in the 70's,
while Nixon was still President.
Keep in mind that Nixon was directly involved in Viet Nam,
as Vice President, going back to at least 1955.
26 Sep 1945 - The first death of an American serviceman in Vietnam occurred.
OSS (Office of Special Operations) Major (Lieutenant Colonel) A. Peter Dewey
was killed in action by the Communist Vietminh near Hanoi.
May 1950 President Harry S Truman authorised $10 million in aid to the French for their war in Viet Nam.
By January 1951, $150 million had been given in aid.
1953-61 Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th US President
1953-61 Richard M. Nixon Vice President
1953 - The US is supporting the French in the amount of $1 billion per year--
33% of all US foreign aid--which is 80% of the total cost to the
. US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles (under Eisenhower) first voices the 'Domino Theory':
if one country in Southeast Asia falls to the Communists, they will all fall, one by one.
12 Feb 55 - President Eisenhower's administration sends 1st 350 U.S. advisers to South Vietnam
to train the South Vietnamese Army
8 Jun 56 - The first American of record to die in Vietnam
under the Eisenhower and Nixon administration
was Air Force Tech Sergeant Richard B. Fitzgibbon Jr.
His son, Richard B. Fitzgibbon III, died in Vietnam Sep 7, 1965.
8 Jun 56 Has been formally recognized by the Pentagon as the first American officially to die in that war.
5 Sep 56 - President Eisenhower tells a news conference that the French are
"involved in a hopelessly losing war in Indochina" 1956 The US believed in that Ho Chi Minh would have won any election held in Viet Nam and used their influence over the government of the State of Viet Nam to ensure that the election was not held

About Vietnam
The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
I apologize if I am repeating someone else. I see the story is on Drudge, now. Good!
Get me the beer bong pic and I'll do it.
I am sure Rush and Hannity will talk about this.
They absolutely think that way. Every time I hear Dick Durbin refer to our "brave troops" whom he also thinks of as Nazis, I want to hit him...I really do. I am actually glad Kerry said this. It pulls the veil off of their lying faces.
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck as a senator from Massachusetts.
Kerry, by proxy, has been about the business of defending his own fraudulent military record by rushing to the defense of veterans whose military service is purportedly being attacked. Does this mean the recipients of his transparent self-promotion didn't "study hard" or do "their homework" or "make an effort to be smart" and, therefore haven't "done well" since they, too, got "stuck in Iraq" or some other battlefield?
Patrick Murphy et al should be ashamed to be seen in the same STATE with this unconscionable military basher and loather.
I would like it if every single talk show host played this clip. "Reporting for doody" indeed, Mr. Kerry. Hah, Ingraham is playing it over and over.
Here is a thread with the photo.

I thought the Dems were priding themselves as being smarter and stronger on defense and national security
Right...and I pride myself on being the smartest, best looking, best dressing person on the planet.
I want to hit him...I really do.
I was a cop in the AF so allow me to give you a small piece of advice...Tools are our friend!
Praying for your son's safe return in Iraq and for you and your family.
Michell Malkin just posted the rest of Kerrys campaign itinerary. Hes in Seattle today and Minnesota tomorrow. Head on out and say hi!

I called Angelides office just now and left a message, since John Kerry was campaigning for HIM. I asked if he agreed with John Kerry's statement of being " stuck in Iraq".....going to be interesting on how this is spun..
