[JustTheTruth]

Usual John Kerry B.S. - warmed over attack on Karl Rove.

[martin_fierro]

Just hours after learning about an outrageous speech delivered by Karl Rove, President Bush's most senior advisor, I went to the Senate floor

The real news here is that Kerry actually showed up for work.

[guitarist]

Mehlman and the pubbies (fellow white Christians) put out a list of liberal quotes lining up with Rove's charge. He CAN'T apologize for telling the truth!

[zencat]

Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and OFFER THERAPY AND UNDERSTANDING FOR OUR ATTACKERS.

Sheesh. Is this thing real? Sounds like it was written by Rove himself.

[Fresh Wind]

Guess who said this: "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance."

[TheForceOfOne]

I hear the doofus Jerk Kerry is now a 40:1 shot in 2008. So hasn't he become even more irrelevant than he was before?

I think he would have more success by going back to picking up rich old alcoholic hags at ski lodges.

I just signed the petition for Osama, anyone care to do Saddam?
Be sure to show your anger, i.e. "off with the infidel's head", you get the drift.

Hey, Kerry...

[joshhiggins]

I went to his link and encouraged him to keep up the good work, and not to rest until every American knows that George (Hitler) Bush stole the election. http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/rove.php

Actually, a fine example of what Rove was talking about can be found in Kerry's own 1971 anti-war testimony. He manages to blame the entire county for what Lt. Calley did in Vietnam--with special blame to the makers of fighting man comic books. Here is the quote--he is answering Sen. Pell about the Calley case.

---

Mr. Kerry: My feeling, Senator, on Lieutenant Calley is what he did quite obviously was a horrible, horrible, horrible thing and I have no bone to pick with the fact that he was prosecuted. But I think that in this question you have to separate guilt from responsibility, and I think clearly the responsibility for what has happened there lies elsewhere.

I think it lies with the men who designed free fire zones. I think it lies with the men who encourage body counts. I think it lies in large part with this country, which allows a young child before he reaches the age of 14 to see 12,500 deaths on television, which glorifies the John Wayne syndrome, which puts out fighting man comic books on the stands, which allows us in training to do calisthenics to four counts, on the fourth count of which we stand up and shout "kill" in unison, which has posters in barracks in this country with a crucified Vietnamese, blood on him, and underneath it says "kill the gook," and I think that clearly the responsibility for all of this is what has produced this horrible aberration.

Now, I think if you are going to try Lieutenant Calley then you must at the same time, if this country is going to demand respect for the law, you must at the same time try all those other people who have responsibility, and any aversion that we may have to the verdict as veterans is not to say that Calley should be freed, not to say that he is innocent, but to say that you can't just take him alone, and that would be my response to that.

Senator Pell: I agree with you. The guilt is shared by many, many, many of us, including the leaders of the get-out-now school. But in this regard if we had not tried him, I think we would be much more criticized and should be criticized. I would think the same fate would probably befall him as befell either Sergeant or Lieutenant Schwarz of West Virginia who was tried for life for the same offense and is out on a 9 months commuted sentence. By the same token I would hope the quality of mercy would be exercised in this regard for a young man who was not equipped for the job and ran amuck. But I think public opinion should think this through. We who have taken this position find ourselves very much in the minority.

Mr. Kerry: I understand that, Senator, but I think it is a very difficult thing for the public to think through faced with the facts. The fact that 18 other people indicted for the very same crime were freed and the fact among those were general and colonels. I mean this simply is not justice. That is all. It is just not justice.

Tell it to your terrorist buddies Hanoi Boi. Americans don't want to hear it.

[msvicki]

I went to his link and told him Karl Rove spoke the truth, that any person with an 'nth degree of intelligence is aware of the Lying Socialist Democrats hatred for the military, their desire to see the United States defeated in this war, their disdain for our fighting men and women. They delight in the fact that following Dick Durbin's press release to Al Jazeera, United States women soldiers were murdered by the Lying Socialist Democrats friends - the insurgents. GO MILITARY! Damn the LSD's. John Kerry is a traitor - by the way he "served" in
Viet Nam.

[John Jorsett]

As some of the bloggers are noting, the Democrats are now in the position of having to argue that they're pro-Iraq-war. A bit of deft Rove jiujitsu, that.

[shteebo]

When the liberals hear their own positions stated back to them it sounds so ridiculous they demand an apology. Unbelievable. If Rove anticipated this silly reaction from Kerry, Shumer, Hillary, et al, he really is a genius. He's actually got them loudly arguing against their own soundbites.

[hermgem]

Since Kerry finally revealed his four Harvard D's, I kind of feel sorry for him.
