Kerry has not made a public apology, or even any sort of apology. He doesn't regret saying what he said, he regrets that some people (us dummies like most of the military) misunderstood. Big difference.

His "conditional" apology is another insult to all Americans and doubly so, our troops.

What about his 1971 "testimony" and Genghis Khan lies and insults? Where is the apology?

A blog post Mr. Kerry IS NOT a public apology!

Especially since it could have been written by a Kerry staffer who was trying to salvage his boss' carreer.

It was reported this morning on the Imus show, by Charles McCord, that John Kerry, in 1974, criticizing the all volunteer military, said that only the poor and illiterate went to the military. They read his transcript on air. Now, why is the media repeating and contrivance and a lie, that Kerry did not mean what he said? Why does this not bolster the commonly know fact that John Kerry reviles the military. But the MSM keeps trying to rehabilitate this bastard with their lies, all the while we know what we heard.

I have heard all I need to hear from Mr.Kerry. He dissed the military and then he said, "I apologize to no one" in his first "explaination".
Let's all think linearly and logically.

1.Kerry takes a movie video recorder to Viet Nam, stages and directs himself out of harms way, and says he did it to enhance his future political carear.

2. He fakes 3 injuries, after 4 months in Nam goes home on "highly suspect" Afteraction Reports which garnered him 3 Purple Hearts, (never spent 1 minute receiving medical attention in a clinic or hospital).

3.Links with Jane Fonda and protests the war and his compatriates.

5.Works with the North Vietamese and for that has photos put in a North Viet Nam museum celebrating the victory over the United States.

6. Goes before the United States senate select committee and "trashes" over 500,000 veterans of the Viet Nam war.(And never recants his wordsL.

7. Upon becoming the democrat nominee, Swiftboaters came forth, (all but 1 alive) and tell of the lies in Kerrys' testimony before the Senate committee.

8.Lies in his book "Winter Warrior" about a 'secret' mission into Cambodia where he was sent by President Nixon at Christmas when he could not possibly have been in Cambodia.(media never asks a question about it)(then has his election campaign workers try to 'buyback' all copies on e-bay)

9. Just 18 months ago accuses 150,000 American soldiers "terrorize women and children busting down doors going into their homes."

10. Lies throughout the 2004 campaign.

11. And now, "The MSM tells us that it is inconceivable that Kerry would speak ill of the military. That we are not to believe what we heard. That given his history of a 'Benedict Arnold' type behavior, we are simply hayseed rightwingers if we put it all together to interpret what Mr. Kerry said as exactly what he said. We are "part of a republican hate-smear machine from Mr. Roves department." Mr. Kerry is not the problem, we are the problem, they would have us think. We didn't hear him say, "....if you don't do well, you get dumped into Iraq."

Here is what happened. Kerry thought he was speaking to a 'like-minded' group of people who he tried to play to in a way he thought was safe and would not be widely reviewed. He let his guard down for a few minutes and "truly" spoke his heart to a group who he thought, to the man, thought exactly the same way he does. Then upon being caught, he feigns self rightous indignation, continues his lies and prevarication, dumps on the republicans. Now here we sit with Kerry saying "I am sorry the American people were so stupid that they did not understand me and could not read my mind." You know damn well that is what compelled him to open up and for once in his sorry life tell people, not a boxed, canned lie, but the truth. And the truth is that he hates AMerica, he hates the military, he hates American institutions, and he hates the conservatives in this country.

So did Good Morning America. MSM finally comes through! Of course they then went on to "explain" Kerry had botched a joke, and trying to cover it up as no big deal.

A real apology would have been 'I'm truly sorry I made a statement that was taken as a slap at our military. That was not my intention and I am very sorry for misspeaking'. There's a world of difference between the two.

That would not be a real apology. That would be a lie, since his slap at the military was clearly intentional.

A real apology would be "I'm sorry I've had such a negative attitude toward the military over the years. I hadn't realized how much good they actually do." It would have to be coupled with a continued demonstration of good will toward the military. Most likely, Sus scrofa will develop wings long before Kerry makes a real apology for his statements.

If it had been a blundered "joke" , He should have IMMEDIATELY said," I 'm sorry, I have misspoken, I did not mean for that to come out like it did."
Only after the firestorm that this has caused, is a statement posted on His website. We don't know if these are even His words . We didn't hear him speak them.
We heard Him, from His own mouth, insult Our wonderful brave men and women wearing Our nation's uniform.
He should have been Man enough , if it was an accident, to let the words roll off His "eloquent , educated" tongue.

Yesterday Wolfie Blitzkrieg "announced" that it was over. The MSM is so arrogant to assume that people are now instructed to switch their thoughts to something else.

That's Goeble's machine in action, stuck on stupid.

What's a movie video recorder? In 1970, video equipment was rather large and expensive. I don't know exactly what John Kerry would have been carrying, but I would expect him to have been using an 8mm movie camera and a separate tape recorder (amateur equipment for recording sound directly on film was not yet available).

Does anyone know if any copies exist of Kerry's Vietnam footage and audio?

Of course even if the dirtbag meant to insult GWB, isn't that typical anyway? He was obviously trying to make Bush sound dumb, when any objective person knows he is an intelligent man. But beyond that, when is the last time anyone heard GWB *ever* personally insult the brains or looks of any liberal? He never stoops that low. But of course the lefties couldn't function if they didn't resort to gutter tactics like that.

The MSM is the one who started all this "dumb" business for a very simple reason: they couldn't find anything on GWB and so, when they couldn't be objective they switched to subjective.

None of the liberals wants to compare GWB to JFnK or Gorey alwhore academic accomplishments because GWB wins hands down.

On a lighter note, Word's spelling didn't like JFnK and offered "JUNK" instead!! LOL...I almost ordered the change.

He didn't publicly apologize. He "apologized" on his website. And that was an "I'm sorry you're too stupid to understand what I was saying" apology, not a real one.

As soon as he said 'I am a Christian', I changed channels. I knew he was going to by telling lots of lies, big time.

He must know he is in trouble - to suddenly start emphasizing religion.

Now sKerry needs to 'apologize' for saying he would NEVER slander our troops, when that is all he has ever done.
