INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The National Commander of The American Legion called on Sen. John Kerry to apologize for suggesting that American troops in Iraq are uneducated.

"As a constituent of Senator Kerry's I am disappointed. As leader of The American Legion, I am outraged," said National Commander Paul A. Morin. "A generation ago, Sen. Kerry slandered his comrades in Vietnam by saying that they were rapists and murderers. It wasn't true then and his warped view of today's heroes isn't true now."

While addressing a group of college students at a campaign rally in Pasadena, CA., Monday, Kerry suggested that they receive an education or "if you don't, you'll get stuck in Iraq."

"While The American Legion shares the senator's appreciation for education, the troops in Iraq represent the most sophisticated, technologically superior military that the world has ever seen," Morin said. "I think there is a thing or two that they could teach most college professors and campus elitists about the way the world works.

No surprise that Fox.com has this story on the front page (as of 1:15pm CST) and cnn.com has no mention of this story... yet.

That was just a joke. What he meant was that Richard Nixon was a rapist and a murderer.

I think Kerry is incapable of understanding that many Americans consider it an honor and duty to serve in the military. I proudly served for two years and it never occurred to me to award myself three fake purple hearts and slither back home after four months of service. If I had any respect for John Kerry I would feel insulted and demand an apology. As it is, considering the source .... no apology is necessary.

And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the – of – the historical customs, religious customs," Kerry said...

Aw, maaan. You left of the best part of the quote.

"Whether you like it or not ... IRAQIS SHOULD BE DOING THAT."

The MSM will put it out for him.

The great thing about the modern world of the Internet is that we no longer have to depend on the scumbags in the so-called mainstream media to disseminate information.

Get those videos of Kerry in his own words and forward them off to friends, family members, and especially people with family members in Iraq and Afghanistan.
