"Dear Friend" e-mail received from the loser John Kerry (Regarding Karl Rove)

Dear Friend,

Just hours after learning about an outrageous speech delivered by Karl Rove, President Bush's most senior advisor, I went to the Senate floor -- and I spoke from my heart. I want to share those words with you -- not as a Democrat or Republican, not as a liberal or conservative -- but as an American.

I've attached part of my speech to the end of this email. But, before you read what I said, look again at what Karl Rove said:

Perhaps the most important difference between conservatives and liberals can be found in the area of national security. 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. I hope you will join me right now in signing an open letter to the President urging him to thoroughly reject Karl Rove's purposeful attack on the patriotism of those who dare ask the tough questions that best protect American troops. Sign our open letter to President Bush now:

This isn't the first time that Karl Rove and other White House officials have sought to divide America in ways that make it harder to keep our country safe and our democracy strong. But, it should be the last. That's why I ended my speech with a call on President Bush to fire Karl Rove. It is the only way the President can make it clear that he rejects Rove's effort to distort one of the most unified and patriotic moments in American history into a cheap, divisive, political applause line.

That, of course, is what is most outrageous about Karl Rove's claim that President Bush's political opponents offered "therapy and understanding for our attackers." It isn't true. In the days after 9/11, there were no Democrats, no Republicans. We were all Americans, standing together. President Bush acknowledged that unity in a clear and compelling way at the time.

Now, Karl Rove is purposely twisting those days of unity in order to divide us for political gain. I hope you will act right now to join a growing chorus of Americans calling on the President to fire Karl Rove.

http://www.johnkerry.com/petition/rove.php

Please act right now. Sign our open letter to the President and pass it on to others. All Americans have to speak with one powerful voice in response to this outrage. I will continue speaking out and I know I can count on you to stand with me.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make America Safe, Not Divided Excerpts of remarks by Senator John Kerry on the Senate floor on Thursday, June 23. "None of us here will ever forget the hours after September 11... and the remarkable response of the American people as we came together as one to answer the attack on our homeland.... [I]t brought out the best of all of us in America.

That spirit of our country should never be reduced to a cheap, divisive political applause line from anyone who speaks for the President of the United States.

I am proud, as my colleagues on this side are, that after September 11, all of the people of this country rallied to President Bush's call for unity to meet the danger. There were no Democrats, there were no Republicans, there were only Americans. That is why it is really hard to believe that last night in New York... the most senior adviser to the President of the United States [was] purposely twisting those days of unity in order to divide us for political gain.

Rather than focusing attention on Osama bin Laden and finding him or rather than focusing attention on just smashing al-Qaida and uniting our effort, as we have been, he is, instead, challenging the patriotism of every American who is every bit as committed to fighting terror as is he.

Just days after 9/11, the Senate voted 98 to nothing, and the House voted 420 to 1, to authorize President Bush to use all necessary and appropriate force against terror. And after the bipartisan vote, President Bush said: "I'm gratified that the Congress has united so powerfully by taking this action. It sends a clear message. Our people are together and we will prevail."

That is not the message that was sent by Karl Rove in New York City last night. Last night, he said: "No more needs to be said about" their "motives."

I think a lot more needs to be said about Karl Rove's motives because they are not the people's motives... They are not the motives of a nation that found unity in that critical moment--Democrat and Republican alike, all of us as Americans.

If the President really believes his own words, if those words have meaning, he should at the very least expect a public apology from Karl Rove. And frankly, he ought to fire him. If the President of the United States knows the meaning of those words, then he ought to listen to the plea of Kristen Breitweiser, who lost her husband when the Twin Towers came crashing down. She said: "If you are going to use 9/11, use it to make this nation safer than it was on 9/11."

Karl Rove doesn't owe me an apology and he doesn't owe Democrats an apology. He owes the country an apology. He owes Kristen Breitweiser and a lot of people like her, those families, an apology. He owes an apology to every one of those families who paid the ultimate price on 9/11 and expect their government to be doing all possible to keep the unity of their country and to fight an effective war on terror.

The fact is, millions of Americans...are asking Washington for honesty, for results, and for leadership--not for political division. Before Karl Rove delivers another political assault, he ought to stop and think about those families and the unity of 9/11.

Dear President Bush,

In the days following the 9/11 attacks, you movingly spoke of the unity of purpose emanating all across America. Now, Karl Rove, your top political aide, wants us to believe that you weren't telling the truth -- that Americans were offering "therapy and understanding to the attackers." You cannot remain silent as your most senior advisor purposely twists the truth about a great moment of American unity for political gain.

It isn't the first time Karl Rove has crossed the line. It needs to be the last. I call on you to thoroughly reject his cheap, divisive efforts to challenge the patriotism of your political opponents. It's time to fire Karl Rove.

Sincerely,

Your name here

No mention of Dick Durbin? Gee how surprising.

I put in a good word from Pol Pot and Slobodan Milosovic.

[Congressman Billybob]

Gee, is John Kerry an American? I thought he was rather French. Didn't he go to Vietnam with the French? They were the ones that turned tail and ran. Sounds like the John Kerry I know.

Since when did sKerry become an American?

[Texas Eagle]

I don't understand the controversy. All you have to do is look at the way disgraced ex-president Clinton dealt with the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 (did Osama bin Laden's lawyer ever respond to that indictment?) and compare that with how President Bush dealt with the second attack in 2001.

[Arrowhead1952]

Don't you just love the fact that Carl Rove "undressed" all the RATs as liberals? He never even mentioned the word"democrat", but every liberal democrat jumped on the bash Rove bandwagon. I love it. That sneaky Rove.....

Dear Friend,

Just hours after learning about an outrageous speech delivered by Karl Rove, President Bush's most senior advisor, I went to the Senate floor -- and I spoke from my heart.

Kerry you pompous arrogant windbag! You have no friends, and you have no heart from which to speak. I would even go so far as to say you have no soul either! Where was your righteous indignation over Turban Durbin's remarks?

[BIGLOOK]

See #9....then read the article.

Nice work My2Cents!

[scott7278]

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

John Kerry was quoting Karl Rove there.

[BIGLOOK]

Kerry's allegiance is nuanced.

He forgot the Global Test??

[Texas Eagle]

Good point. Hillary sure got her boxers in a twist considering she's a "moderate".

[upchuck]

sKerry is so damned stupid. I bet he needs help getting dressed in the morning. Probably can't tie his own shoe laces.

In his "letter" to President Bush he states, "Now, Karl Rove, your top political aide, wants us to believe that you weren't telling the truth -- that Americans were offering 'therapy and understanding to the attackers.'"

Sorry sKerry, that's not what Karl said. He said, "... liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

You've probably never noticed this since you rarely show up for work, but there's a difference, a BIG difference between Americans and liberals.

Maybe I can put this is simple terms even you can understand. sKerry, Americans are the folks who did NOT vote for you last November. Does that help to explain it?

At the risk of stating the obvious.....

HOW'S THE "FORM 180" COMING, JOHN?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Spineless US Senate would rather protect Hanoi Kerry
than deal with the anti war crowd.

Anyone who thinks Hanoi Kerry isn't behind the anti war crowd needs to get a clue.

It's time to support our troops and ignore the jelly fish in the US Senate!

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html

And the FBI has proof of his treason.

Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

I crossed out the Karl Rove's and replaced with Dick "penisauris" Durbin's name and sent it back to Kerry.......

[Arrowhead1952]

I wish Carl Rove would get on one of the MSMs Sunday shows and tell the nation, "what I said was 'liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers'" and then explain that the liberals had "outed" themselves. He never uttered the word "democrat", yet so many took offense to the statement. I'd love to post a thread on DU, but I refuse to take 50 +showers per day. I guess they're too STUPID to notice they were taken once again.
