Kerry defends liberties, says Americans have "right to be stupid"

"The reason is, that's freedom, freedom of speech. In American you have a right to be stupid - if you want to be," he said, prompting laughter. "And you have a right to be disconnected to somebody else if you want to be.

"And we tolerate it. We somehow make it through that. Now, I think that's a virtue. I think that's something worth fighting for," he added.

He has exercised his right to be a gigolo, a liar, have bad memory, and have poor judgment - in addition to being stupid.

He took a page right out of Obama’s playbook.......take off on a taxpayer funded trip around the world and use it as a platform to insult the very people who paid for your trip. And just like Obama, the only apology he’ll offer is to our enemies.

Stupid = Not P.C.

That’s the best the left can muster for the First Amendment. Second Amendment be damned....

No. John Kerry is not stupid. He is a traitor. Sorry, John, but you don’t get a pass from me. You and Jane Fonda are unworthy of your American citizenship and should be deported. I saw video of your testimony before Congress. I know you talked to representatives of the North Vietnamese government in Paris while we were at war with them. I have a copy of your stinking book. You are a traitor.

That’s the only right the Democrats will fight to the death for because it keeps defectives like Kerry and Obama in office.

I hope that Kerry knows that in Germany it is a crime to deny the Holocaust and to use Nazi symbols. I wonder if he agrees with that or is he saying that Americans can do that without consequence because they have a right to be stupid.

Don’t know this has to do with the State Dept, but you have the right to be stupid. You don’t have the right to be bailed out from your stupidity.

“He is living proof...form follows function..”

That would leave a real red mark if he understood it, but he would not get it.

Ouch...
