Kerry Comments...

He is correct up until the final sentence. I would imagine Kerry also states that he "supports the toops, but not the war," yet he plainly calls them ignorant and lazy (that hard working comment was brilliant, Sen. Kerry).

Just said on TV a moment ago that the 'bad joke' was directed at the current occupant of the Oval Office...

Kerry is yesterday's candidate. He needs to go away...

Yeah, he's talking about Bush, not the soldiers and he's right.

I know that's what's he's saying he meant but I don't see how those comments could be construed to be about Bush.

That said, I agree that it's probably time for him to go away.

There's a reason Kerry didn't talk much trash during his campaign..... He sucks at it.

Bush wasn't good at talking trash either. He had to keep his words short and often would even mess that up.

Kerry's Response

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.”

Keep digging John
I guess John McCain is a right wing nut-job

Senator Kerry owes an apology to the many thousands of Americans serving in Iraq, who answered their country's call because they are patriots and not because of any deficiencies in their education. Americans from all backgrounds, well off and less fortunate, with high school diplomas and graduate degrees, take seriously their duty to our country, and risk their lives today to defend the rest of us in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

They all deserve our respect and deepest gratitude for their service. The suggestion that only the least educated Americans would agree to serve in the military and fight in Iraq, is an insult to every soldier serving in combat, and should deeply offend any American with an ounce of appreciation for what they suffer and risk so that the rest of us can sleep more comfortably at night. Without them, we wouldn't live in a country where people securely possess all their God-given rights, including the right to express insensitive, ill-considered and uninformed remarks.

I certainly can't speak for the troops but can you see how this would sound like he's saying the ones in Iraq are the ones that didn't work hard or get an education? Is that what needs to be said?

yep, and Kerry voted to send all those dumbasses to Iraq, before I spoke out against them. btw, he's only mouthing off like this because he's not up for re-election this time around.

If Kerry announces that he's running for President again, I predict we'll hear that soundbyte about 42,000 times.

Are you seriously asking this question? Even the democrats are upset with Kerry over these comments.

What is so unbelievable is why Kerry doesn't just say: "I mispoke. After seeing a replay of my comments, I realize that what I said - when taken out of context - sounds very bad and could possibly be offensive to many people. I made an unfortunate gaffe in my choice of words and I apologize to the good people who may have been offended."

Trent Lott can attest to the fact that it doesn't matter what you mean . . . it only matters what people think.

That wouldn't matter. Fact is, the GOP is desperate at this point and they're not going to let anything go. Kerry is an idiot for giving this little present..
