The MSM troops have begun to rally around their man.
Interviewing Ted Kennedy on MSNBC, Chris Matthews referred to the controversy over Kerry's comments as a 'brouhaha' and a 'rhubarb. Kennedy was of course only too happy to agree, calling the controversy a "diversion" and even casting Kerry as the victim, claiming he is the "target of Republicans" reacting to his criticism of the war.
A bit later in the hour, Matthews flatly claimed that Kerry only meant to say that Bush hadn't studied enough before he became president and thus got us into a mess in Iraq, and later still:
"I think he meant to go after the President."
To quote that great student of human behavior, John McEnroe: "you cannot be serious!"
It's so cute - he seems to have no idea that nobody is watching him.
"Kerry only meant to say that Bush hadn't studied enough before he became president and thus got us into a mess in Iraq."
Wouldn't the fact that Bush graduated from Yale and got a master's degree from Harvard contradict this attempted explanation?
Yes, he believes that....my point is that he probably said it as a veiled attack on Bush saying he led these people into war and did not provide a way for them to be educated etc.
Of course, Kerry is wrong. But, even he is not dumb enough to say military people are stupid without some reason.
That does not make what he said any less reprehensible. He has attacked our service men and women as somehow dumb, and that is beyond disgusting.
Kerry could have said... get an education or you'll end up on the streets of California. No one would have taken that as a slur. Except the Democrat constituent base in California who harass and trouble the residents of other California Dem voters in California.
And the troops were just victims of friendly fire?
Appropriately said. LOL What's funnier is watching the DBM try to spin the turd.
HAHAHA!
The President also had higher SAT's and got better grades than Kerry.
Care to elaborate?
No doubt he now wishes he hadn't said it. I think he meant what he said.
I also think you are a limp-wristed liberal troll.
D-2, I love it....I may copy to keep, okay?
To think this guy used to sub on Rush's radio show. Kerry is an abomination.
p.
It's official: Chrissy is the Democrat Party's 'baby-wipes'...
Sure,I even give you reposting priveleges of it if you want to.
Enjoy,
D2
mathews is so exasperatingly liberal. he doesn't carry the pretense if impartiality very well. he's just another f'ing liberal. (won't these people ever go away to cuba and live in paradise?)
These people must think we are blathering idiots.
Sorry, you miss the mark there. I simply try to look at things logically. I am wrong a lot of the time though. In this case, I simply think Kerry is stubborn, obnoxious, bigoted against the military, made a slip of the tong and said something he really believes but did not mean to say and now refuses to apologize for it. I think the Dems are going to be hurt by it, and I hope the Republicans make good use of the opportunity.
liberal callers to local talk radio around here say the same thing all the time. They say the other group of recruits are delinquents who get the the opportunity of going into the military rather than doing time.
