SEN. JOHN KERRY TO CROWD AS HE HELD UP GUN: I thank you for the gift, but I can't take it to the debate with me." (Darlene Superville, "Kerry Bolstered by Clinton Advice," Associated Press, 09/07/04)

This was a "joke" probably in Kerry's twisted mind, but not funny whatsoever!
He is a mental case.
Somebody ought to report him to the secret service.
It was not a serious threat. However, it was a stupid and unfunny joke. Like everything else Kerry says.
Yes, he does need massive help, and apparently he's joking about using the gun to remove Bush from the equation during the debate. Bemoaning the fact that his secret dreams would be to use the gun to kill someone.
If he didn't mean it as I understood it he should have considered the consequences of his visual.
Bush uses tax code books to get his point across of his future plans. Kerry uses a gun...there's something wrong with this picture.

Okay. The funny part will come when Kerry tries to worm his way out of this one.
Everyone get your beebers ready!
No way.
You don't joke about shooting the CIC in wartime unless you are a treasonous subversive, oh wait, I forgot, he is a treasonous subversive.
In this day and age, that's not smart. Some might even say it's intentional.
That's how it works with Manchurian Candidates.
But the DNC goes berserk over the purple heart bandaids.
He won't have to. The media will bury it like the gun-banning-waiving story.
I would agree. Bad joke. Stupid joke. I get the image of Elmer Fudd here. Kerry is a cartoon.
The man is such a loser. This is the kind of passing remark that would perk up a few ears in the Secret Service. Moron.
Now THIS is a statement that SHOULD have been greeted with BOOS!
It's pronounced Frenchurian ;-)
Inquiring minds want answers:
"Why would he need a gun at the debates?
Who would he shoot?
What is he suggesting!!??"
Seems like he just did one! By shooting off his mouth, he's shot himself in the foot! If you listen closely, during the news when this is repeated, you'll hear the footsteps of another ten thousand undecideds marching into the Bush camp.
It's time for another TehRAYzuh gaffe, I've missed that old broad!
"A question solved by violence must remain unsolved forever" - Jefferson Davis
These are the words of a desparate, beaten candidate.
Kerry is done.
This was a "joke" probably in Kerry's twisted mind, but not funny whatsoever!
Come on. People are taking this WAY too seriously. If Kerry's remark is so terrible, what about Bush's comment that could be interpreted as a "thinly veiled threat" of a dictatorship?:
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator.Is that supposed to be funny? I think people need to lighten up just a bit.
