GIS DROP SMART BOMB ON KERRY
NEW YORK POST ^ | November 2, 2006 | TODD VENEZIA in N.Y. and IAN BISHOP in Washington

Posted on 11/02/2006 5:43:44 AM PST by kellynla

WASHINGTON - A group of GIs showed they are smart enough to take on condescending Sen. John Kerry - by deploying a hilariously misspelled sign mocking the failed presidential candidate's comments about their education.

"Halp us Jon Carry - We R stuck hear n Irak," read the sign, which was apparently the brainchild of a group of service members from the Minnesota National Guard.

The picture was first revealed yesterday on the blog Web site of Milwaukee talk radio host Charlie Sykes, who said he got it from a listener who had a buddy in the unit.

The picture soon raced around the Internet, and it got much of the nation chuckling when it went up on Drudge Report later in the day.

Staff Sgt. Erik Holtan, a member of the Minnesota National Guard, says he saw the picture and recognized the insignia as that of his fellow Minnesota guardsmen - and he immediately put it up on his own blog site.

"It's awesome," he told The Post. "The troops over there have to be livid because of what [Kerry] said. I don't know why he would say that."

Holtan, who works at Guard headquarters, said he believes the troops behind the Kerry sign are in Iraq, since all the members of the unit in the shot - the 1/34 Brigade Troops Battalion - have been deployed.

He said he can see a unit insignia on one of the vehicles in the background and those vehicles have also gone to Iraq.

Fox News Channel quoted Army officials saying that the picture looked authentic and appeared to be taken in Iraq.

"We are always amazed at the creativity of our troops," one Army official told Fox.

Without citing sources, ABC News in Washington said the photograph was taken in Talil,

I am laughing today. Great picture. Does Kerry get another purple heart for shooting himself in the foot?

"And why just apologize to anyone who was offended? That implies that he believes what he said was correct - he is only acknowledging that it might have been offensive to some."

Outstanding observation which bears repeating!

You hit the nail on the head, Steve. It can be interpreted as comtempt for a public official (not that it's undeserving in this case!).

I'm afraid that these boys will be punished for their opinion. We all know how something so insignificant can run a military career.

Former congress woman Pat Scroeder got dissed by some soldiers awhile back and they got into some hot water because of it.

What the US Army recruiting poster under "President" Kerry would look like:

Our brave warriors n Irak respond to Jon Carry"


Kerry is no different re his hatred of a strong America and our warriors than 99.9% of the rats in congress. Every rat running for election should have to face a copy of this banner everytime they show their treasonous faces. Pelosi, Murtha, Clintoon, Boxer, Kennedy, Durbin, Levin, Rangle, Reid and other rats in congress hate our military and a strong America. Just look at their voting records the past two years as President Bush pointed out this week.

Kerry is shown leading his fellow hate America and our military Rats to their final destination in American Politics:

Vote against all traitors this election day. Support our troops and their CIC, President Bush.

Dropping a link in here to a thread I posted on what Seymour Hersh said up in Canada just on Oct 30,...very ugly,...but very representative of what the far left wing of the DemonicRat party thinks...:

There has never been an American army as violent and murderous as the one in Iraq; ~ Sy Hersh

Well, then, they can just say it was a joke.

THIS is funny. shows why the NY Post is one of the only papers managing to keep up circulation.

The NYPost actually had an increase of about 5% during the period when most papers lost that much or more. Putting this picture on its front page when most papers ignored it shows why so many people read the NYPost. It's easy to read on the web also.

Good post. Speaking of smart bombs, if all of us sent this video link to our relatives, conservative friends and moderates with a brain, it would be like smart bombs being delivered across America.


Please send the link below to an outstanding video re Kerry from now to Nam to you email list. He has a long documented history of hating our military and a strong America. He is the poster boy of the lib and was their presidential candidate in 2004. What he said about our brave warriors is how most liberal rats in congress or running for congress feel.
