The John Kerry Model.
Yup, it has legs.
********************************************
Washington – Senator John Kerry issued the following statement in response to White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, assorted right wing nut-jobs, and right wing talk show hosts desperately distorting Kerry’s comments about President Bush to divert attention from their disastrous record:
“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. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.
I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.
The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.
Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”
*If you're explaining, you're losing*.
I LIKE THAT!
If it really was a botched joke, there shouldn't have been a seconds hesitiation about offering an apology to the troops. The fact that he immediately became so defensive about it, shows that he blew it, BIG TIME.
It's pretty odd that this was posted on the BBC which clearly detests GWB and the Pubbies in general.
My My, Kerry certainly does seem to be in a vietnamn style quagmire again
LOL Sweet!
When the BBC see and calls it like a conservative does, then you know the Dems. are in trouble.
Damn, if Kerry's spin can't convince the BBC, he's hosed.
The BEEP reporter gets it, and BBC is farther left than Nancy Pelosi.
The John Kerry Model.
Kerry and the 'RATS insult and demean our brave soldiers in the field. Nobody with even a trace of patriotism could cast a vote for any of this traitorous scum or passively support them by refusing to vote. Turn out and vote for America next week!
I hope America got a glimpse of a little man willing to sell out his own country just to try to keep from saying I'm sorry. Pathetic.
Rush never belittled Fox's Parkinson’s disease. He merely repeated what Fox himself admitted--that he had not taken his meds before an appearance so that the symptoms of his disease would be more evident. Who's lying now, John?
Gee, the BBC got it more accurately than MSNBC.
John Kerry for President in 2008. Please. Pretty please.
That was a joke? I think he meant that seriously.
Hope the reps make it into a commercial and play it everywhere.
He should resign. He's known as a big joke to the entire world. I'm sure the terrorists would love to have him as President. He really is an embarrassment.
Perfect. Keep on explaining, John.
OUTSTANDING!
