John Kerry: 'Exactly the wrong time to throw political punches'

By ALEXANDER BURNS | 9/12/12 11:15 AM EDT

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, last seen tearing into Mitt Romney at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, issues a statement on the attacks on Libya and Egypt including a gentler rebuke of the GOP nominee:

The deaths of Ambassador Stevens and his team are heartbreaking. It's easy for a lot of people to forget that our diplomats are on the frontlines of the world's most dangerous places and they're there trying to make the world safer at great risk to themselves and their families. Chris Stevens was all that and more. He was a foreign service professional down to his toes, a guy who had served on the Foreign Relations Committee and embraced tough odds and tough assignments overseas. He had the guts and grit to serve as our envoy during the rebellion, and his presence there reminded Libyans that America stood with them for freedom in the face of violence. He was continuing that noble work as ambassador with enormous skill. He was an important part of the work we are doing in Libya, and we will not let this deplorable violence turn back the progress he helped make possible.

The violence in Cairo and Benghazi is unacceptable and unjustifiable. The stupidity of one filmmaker, no matter how offensive, is not now, and never, a rationale for violence. A despicable act like this hurts us all — Americans and peaceful people who aspire to build their own democracy.

So why don’t you shut the hell up, then, John?

Same for your hero Zero.

Let an adult take over.

Whatever happened to:

“I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

Go F Yourself, Lurch.

I guess that John the traitor Kerry would know exact political timing. October will probably be the democrats assaults with the OWS group.

Maybe JFK needs to remind us just how much he supported the president after 9-11 and the war in Iraq.

And they are stupid to serve the boy king hussein who will rejoice with his muslim brothers over their deaths.

Good grief, why the BIG STINK by the liberals over the remarks Mitt Romney has made? Or is it that he is looking more and more like a PRESIDENT with each passing day rather than what passes for a President who is living in the White House, the PEOPLE’S HOUSE!

I can’t imagine a more inappropriate spokesperson for “political punches”. After the way he betrayed his fellow servicemen.

How dare Romney interrupt this administration’s campaign criticism of his lack of foreign policy experience by pointing out yet another Obama foreign policy disaster?

John Kerry: 'Exactly the wrong time to throw political punches'

Especially when his candidate's prospects for reelection grow increasingly dim.
