He's using the GI's to get ahead in politics just like Kerry.
Maybe that occured to him.

kerry is the face and voice of today's dim party! They own it, they speak it, they live it... and they should have to defend what it is they truly believe. kerry told how he and his entire party see our Military. They have no respect, no obligation to and nothing but disdain for our heroes!

Kerry Explains Himself

“The Republicans are trying to make a big issue out of my advice to students,” Sen John Kerry (D-Mass) said at a hastily called press conference. The press conference was scheduled after various veterans took offense to Kerry’s assertion that “only morons and losers go to war.”

“My intent was to urge students to do well in school so they wouldn’t flunk out and lose their student deferments,” Kerry explained. “If you wash out of school you’re gonna get drafted and sent to Iraq. I was just trying to use this unpleasant reality to help motivate them to study hard.”

“I mean, staying in school reading Marx and Chomsky’s got to be better than wading through rice paddies waiting to get shot,” Kerry continued. “I don’t think I have to apologize to anyone for giving this sensible advice.”

Poor John. He can't help it. He was married into a silver foot in his mouth.

I think they are trying to find a way to spin this. There's the "it's a joke" spin and "i really meant to say ... " spin. So far none of it is gaining any real traction. So, I think the silence is due to planing their counter attack. My guess is we will see something in a day or two.

“If you wash out of school you’re gonna get drafted and sent to Iraq.

Oh my! I didn't know the draft was back in force. Should I register? Kerry is insane and a traitor with no respect at all for our military and he proved it over and over again.

"If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq -- and not the president who got us stuck there -- they're crazy," he added." John Kerry 2006



"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, tape wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the country side of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."
John Kerry 1971


Mr Kerry has had no problem in letting us know what he thinks of those who serve our country.

That's because the great unwashed masses out there that they so despise are far smarter than they give us credit for. The more they try to justify it, the deeper the hole they're digging for themselves.

I'd like to see every Republican candidate in the Senate and House using this clip of Frenchie insulting the troops in their commericials for the next seven days. "This is what you can expect when you vote Democrat!"

Thank you John Kerry, for being such an incredible a**hole!!

McCain was SO not buying the "it was a joke" spin that alan Colmes was pushing. Democrats = TOAST.

In the days of blogs, the Internet and YouTube? Then he is an even bigger fool than he lets on.

And that's really saying something!

"Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy?

Do liberals not understand (or not care) how elitist and snooty they sound when they criticize someone for a lack of "intellectual curiosity"? Most Americans do not consider themselves "intellectual" and probably do not understand why the Democrats gripe constantly about Bush's alleged lack of intellect.

Well, I have no respect left for McCain and his opinions (GOOOO Duncan Hunter!!). However, if Alan Colmes admitting a Democrat blunder, the damage must be extensive.

Over at DU, they think Kerry's remark is a good thing:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2525839

On WOR radio in New York, Lionel and callers are claiming that Kerry's remark followed stuff about the President. Does anyone know what he said after the remark? Does anyone have a transcript?
