Rush was right. They ARE the funniest when they lose.
Posted the following on another thread. Statement from the Kerry camp on the on-going flap:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 31, 2006
Statement of John Kerry Responding to Republican Distortions, Pathetic Tony Snow Diversions and Distractions
Washington – Senator John Kerry issued the following statement in response to White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, assorted right wing nut-jobs, and right wing talk show hosts desperately distorting Kerry’s comments about President Bush to divert attention from their disastrous record:
“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they're crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.
I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.
The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.
Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”

ROFLMAO. This is his real response????
OMG, this statement came from a United States Senator?
God help us, the US is about to commit national suicide.
That can't possibly be real....... can it?
Gee, he seems a tad upset. LOL!
I just heard this on Rush, but I would like it if someone could verify this statement through the press somewhere.
ROFLMAO. The best part is him calling someone else a stuffed shirt. Could he be any funnier?
You are kidding, right???
Surely, Kerry's people didn't put THIS piece of 3rd grade writing out as a "rebuttal"???
OK, Kerry, then go to the troops and lecture them about their ignorance. Since you seem to think only those that have served can criticise you. Let's see what they have to say to you.
That Kerry statement is further proof that Kerry can say nothing in 500 words or more.
That is nothing more than a non-apology apology that attempts to deflect attention to the Right.
How in Heaven's name does he hope that his "indignation" will dispute a VIDEO of his stupidity?!?! Incredible!

Lurch is a total POS. He can't help but refer to himself and his time in Vietnam - and yet, he doesn't wear it as a badge of Honor. Oh no, this *sshole uses it as a shield. He disgusts me to no end.
Kerry's "reply" look like it was written by Michael Moore.
It disgusts me that democrat losers, who have never had to bear the responsibility of being president lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those that have.
