1 Perhaps he's just speaking personally? He did end up in Vietnam, maybe he thinks that everyone that serves is ultimately a bumbling idiot, like himself.

It wouldn't be the first time someone displaced their own shortgivings unto others.

2 What a giant douche; hope he realizes he just lost the votes of anyone who served or is serving and their families.

3 I ATTEST BEFORE ALLAH THAT I AM BOTH TOO STUPID TO START MY OWN BLOG AND TOO STUPID TO POST ON TOPIC!

4 He is right...educated people do not go to war.  Reasons:  They
are too smart to die for a lie and can get a real job.

5 steve: are you talking about uneducated people like George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy? And weren't we reminded endlessly that John F. Kerry served in Vietnam?
 
We always appreciate it when the Leftys expose their true "thinking." Thanks for playing.

6 steve,

you forgot to add the part about how you "support the troops". 

Next you'll be "outraged" that someone questioned your patriotism.

7 Well, first, those who've been in a war have, simply by virtue of them having been in that situation, a bit more valid opinion of war than those who haven't. That whole swift boat thing on Kerry was a nice bit of deception during the '04 campaign, but most of the "criticism" did indeed come from those who had never served, or people who did serve, but not actually with Kerry.

Kerry was not presidential material for other reasons, but it never ceases to amaze me that people bought that classic Rove defamation schtick.

Then there's that other Kerry quote, which is pretty ironic, considering his own tour in Vietnam...

On the other hand, you can't really argue with the point. The more educated you are, the less likely you are to end up in a war zone. And the spirit of what he was saying, was to try and get the students he was addressing to stay in school.

It was certainly ineptly put, and indicative of why Kerry couldn't sell himself to the American public in '04, but this is hardly an "outrageous and revealing Kerry gaffe."

Simply put, the mainstream media didn't report on this because it is no big deal, and Kerry is old news.

8 I heard about this when I was waking up this morning and saved the sound clip (I followed a Bluto link if I remember)

My wife heard about it on the radio, and flew into my office like an Angel of vengeance! I couldn't say "hi" before she was demanding I research the full story about Kerry.

She wanted the facts, and she wanted blood. She was taking the message to her day job when she left this morning. People aren't going to put up with this Kerry crap.

As for 'Steve' you guys already said it ... but I want to add HEY STEVE! Move to France, they are smart like you!!!

USA all the way!

9 Steve, thanks for showing up! You can go back HERE now. Or better yet to HERE

10 Hey Steve, STFU and GBTKos you liberal suckass.  Kerry is a disgrace to America and all the Americans that have served this country. I bet you haven't even considered civic duty either you detestable maggot.

11 Hanoi John finally showed his true colors. But I guess I'm really pissed by this as a father. My oldest is in Iraq, 2nd tour, so by Kerry's standards he's stupid, ignorant, and uneducated. But he has a dual major from NYU in philosophy and english, graduated magna cum laude, and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He is a SERGEANT, not an officer (holds the same opinion of officers as his Pop) and is considering re-enlisting. I already emailed Hanoi John with my opinion of him, so the black helos may be showing up at my house soon. I hope this gets major coverage(wishful thinking) but to me he has become the poster boy for the democrats and their elitist attitudes.

12 Elitist snob and Coward! Kerry just motivated a lot of conservatives to get out and vote on Nov. 7, who otherwise had decided to sit this one out.

I am a college professor in an elite private university and I have a Marine son fighting in Iraq. In terms of intelligence, guts and understanding current events, the Marines win hands-down over the average college student.

John F-ing Kerry and his elite band of effeminate snobs would destroy America in an effort to re-gain power. They are so smart, they can make everything right again if only they are in power. God help us!

Hold your nose and Vote Nov. 7. Don't let these people gain any more power.

13 John Kerry and all of his liberal ilk should be put to death publically on national television. Voicing antiwar sentiment is a crime and against our great nation and must not be tolerated.

However this administration is not fighting the war on terror and is misguided. Our precious marines and fighting forces are dying for nothing at the hands of a filthy subhuman race. Rebuild Iraq? Hell no.

Muslims and Arabs attacked us on 9/11 we must not rest until every muslim and arab man, woman, and child has been eliminated from this Earth. This is the ultimate victory over terrorism.

14 I stand corrected...apparently Tony Snow and the GOP were successful in spinning this into the news of the day.

Great.

Between this, the Foley scandal, and other worthless campaign blitzes from both parties it's a pure joy to sift through the rubbish for actual issues that matter...

15 Oooh look at 'em all scampering in a hissie fit. Meanwhile Iraq tells us to get out, leave the Shite militia alone and on your way out we need $100 BILLION in aid. As the wonderful video that Greg posted points out, the purpose of our military is to protect and defend our constitution. So anyone with a Philosopher's degree ( LOL) or better should be able to figure out where they need to concentrate their defending efforts! It ain't in Iraq. It is in America defending We the People from a run-away over-blown government whose strings are being pulled by great big corporate pigs.

16 Thanks, Last Gasp Larry, for demonstrating that if there's anything more brainless than a Kerry Democrat, it's a truther.

17 Meanwhile Iraq tells us to get out,

Iraq asks U.S. troops to stay

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061030/ts_nm/iraq1_dc_6

18 Greg gets it. Steve suffers from  time-space warpage, and  LGL is,  well,  still breathing.................?
 
F'ing  Kerry is a POS. PERIOD. He makes Jane Fonda look like a Rhodes Scholar

19 Nice story JLC, nice spin LGL. Just remember that the Democrat plan for Iraq is the same one that the Bobs used in Office Space to get rid of Milton. Cut off the funds, let the glitch work itself out naturally.

20 Last Gasp - It is far better to defend America by spreading freedom overseas than to sit back and wait for the attacks on US soil.

Our well educated troops in Iraq are engaged in a tough fight, they are limited by the Iraqi government, But they are succeeding.

Dimmocrats led by JF Kerry would encourage greater acts of terrorism by their sheer stupidity.

This country is in far better shape now than it was 6 years ago.

21

FLIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP

Kerry Flip-Flopping again - what a surprise! Say one thing one day and say the opposite thing another day. Kerry is nothing but the front man for the FLIP-FLOPPING Dhimmicrats.

22 What a bunch of shit. Are we getting as bad as they? You know he just fucked up while running his stupid mouth. let us not behave as they.

23 Larry: You must be saved. Don't give in to the dark side. Friends don't let friends vote DEMOCRATIC.

24

CodeleyGuy: Careful my oldest is an officer on his third tour. If your son has that kind of brain power he should be using it. The job of running the show falls on those that can. Nothing wrong with being a leader. There's so many that can't be.

25 How foolish of Senator Kerry to tell the truth one week before the election.

26

There's this movie everyone's talking about "No Substitute for Victory: from Vietnam to Iraq". Originally "No Substitute for Victory" was a documentary hosted by Jon Wayne released when during war in Vietnam. Now this film is re-released on a DVD and examines out current conflicts in the Middle East as seen through the scope of history from our previous conflict in Vietnam. It has exclusive modern day interviews. I think it will be an excellent source of vital information and entertainment! You should check it out!

27 Kerry should be ashamed of himself, not only does he slander Americas finest, he then refuses to admit it and insists it was the republicans smearing him, gee i didn't hear of the neo-con cabal twisting his arms forcing him to say what he said.

Heck, even CNN is writing his career off after this and we know how much they love America and her soldiers.

28

The chicken sh*t coward who deserted his men after 3.6 months (for those who are under 55 or did not serve that is 30% or a tour, or 0.3 tours not the lie the MSM/DNC told us over and over “2 tours”!) Bush may be a leftist liberal but JFK is a stupid, gutless, dumb as* liberal. I am glad Bush won and I voted for him!

 

Steve – you are full of *SHIT*! I have several degrees and graduate degrees and I sure as Hell went to war and I have the scars to prove it! Fuc* you as*hole! Come to Cerritos and say that you gutless wonder!

29 Greyrooster,
     Didn't mean to offend.  He's considering applying for Warrant.  He really does not appreciate too many of his officers.  And this is not from my brainwashing,  but from his observations.  He does act like a mother hen to his troops, though.  THAT makes me proud.

30 He should have joined the Marine Corps. Not too late to change.
 
Semper Fi Rod Stanton. How's the bay area these days? Sometimes I miss it. Sometimes I don't. You were in Viet Nam during the same years as my first tour. 2nd Batt. 26th Marines.

31 Where's Pol Pot when you need him? No! ... where's Greg when you need him!? So Kerry said something insensitive. At least he didn't alienate potential allies with stupid chickenhawk statements like " You are with us or against us " and " Bring 'em on! ". And all you dancing puppets are you enjoying your dance to the tune of the mad incompetent frat boy whose aim is to please his rich corporate cohorts. It must get lonely at the bottom 33%. Patton knew how to fight a war. And so did McCarthur and Churchill. This is not a war anymore and our troops have been abused and are performing the task of policing which as I understand it is not in their job description. Long live We the People. 67% of We the People realize we are on a wild goose chase and are in another Vietnam type scenario. And Maliki did just tell us to stop policing Sadr where the Shite militias reside.

32 LOL...You idiots he is talking about Bush getting us stuck in Iraq. How does someone who pulls 2 tours in Vietnam while Bush's cabinet members enjoyed dozens of deferments become an enemy of our troops?
Quit being such sheep and think for yourselves, how would this comment make any since for him or the politician he was campaigning for?

33
LOL...You idiots he is talking about Bush getting us stuck in Iraq.

Bush went to Harvard and Yale, and got better grades than John Kerry.  So if his joke was about Bush it made no sense.  But we all know it wasn't about Bush because Liberals are well known for disrespecting the military and calling them uneducated sods.  I've heard it all my life.  John Kerry just happens to have admitted it in public.  Not smart for a Liberal senator whose politics requires stealth to go around saying stuff like that out loud.  We knew he was a liar too, and now he's proved it.

34 Ryan:
Check your facts, and get them straight before running off at the mouth. Kerry served .3 tours (thats 3/10 of one tour) not the 2 tours you are giving him credit for. Kerry has been trashing the military since 1971. Kerry is a traitorous bastard who should have been shot!!! Kerry is a POS elitist snob. Kerry is a Viet Cong sympathizer. The list is endless......

35 Ha ha! This really brought the lefturds out, and I'm not surprised,
because nothing infuriates lefturds and muslims like the truth. A good
lefturd is a dead one.

HOW TO BECOME RICH HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it.
So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 250 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it overI thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00 (I use the word "measly" because $6 really is measly compared to the money I have made through the initial investment). Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000! In the third week I had over $10,000 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants.STEP 1:

: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

:1.. AJ Armbrust3731 Grand AvenueDuluth, MN 55807

2.Steve Wehvila3155 Vernon St.Duluth, MN 55806

3.James Rush621QueenAvenueMinneapolis,MN55411

4.Liz Grice 3413 Harvard ave. Columbia, SC 29205

5.Eng. Yousef Abu Hadhoud P.O. Box 4028 North Hashemi, Amman - Jordan

6.Juliet Barriola 225 west 232cd street apt.2E Bronx, New York 10463

STEP 2:

: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3:

: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 250 newsgroups You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
Out of 250 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 250 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 250 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,1250!!!

37 Islamocrats.

38 I do agree that our boys should not be doing police work. Go back to our bases. Secure them. Keep all locals out. Whenever the Iraqi government needs help our boys go out and kick the shit out of the insurgents/terrorists/muslim assholes then return to their secure bases. Let the Iraqis die for their freedom. They will appreciate it more.

39 Headline should have read "Kerry bashes Bush on failed Iraq policy, MSM tells the truth".

Which of you morons still believes that Kerry was insulting the troops when he bungled a joke about Bush's failures in Iraq.

Your tipoff that it was a joke, even though bungled, should have been the part about doing your homework.

Had Bush done his homework, we wouldn't be stuck in Iraq today.

This was so easy to figure out, that even the most ignorant, amongst you, should have figured it out.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at October 31, 2006 02:38 PM "

Hmmm...the Iraqi government wants us to stay and the Iraqi people want us to leave.

So who represents the Iraqi people?

It sure ain't the Iraqi government.

41 JFK has hated America for 36 years. His comments in Cal this week show he still hates America. But the MSM/DNC has hated America for 60 years so he is late to the party!

42 codekeyguy: Yeah, let's get some historical facts straight:

Let's start with the John Kerry facts, '66-'68

February 18, 1966:

A senior at Yale, Kerry commits to enlist in the Navy.

December, 1967:

Kerry is assigned as an Ensign to the guided-missile frigate USS
Gridley. After five-months aboard, he returns to San Diego to undergo
training to command a Swift boat, used by the Navy for patrols in
Vietnam.

November 17, 1968:
Kerry arrives in Vietnam, where he is given command of Swift boat No. 44, operating in the Mekong Delta.

December 2, 1968:
Kerry gets his first taste of intense combat, and is wounded in the arm. He is awarded a Purple Heart.

OK, now onto the George Bush facts:

February, 1968:
A senior at Yale, Bush takes an Air Force officers test. He scores in 25th percentile in the pilot aptitude portion, and declares that he does not wish to serve overseas.

May 27, 1968:
Bush enlists in Texas Air National Guard. Aided by Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes, he jumps over waiting list. He pledges two years of active duty and four years of reserve duty.

June 9, 1968:
Bush's student deferment expires.

September 1968:
After basic training, Bush pulls inactive duty to act as gopher on Florida Senator Edward J. Gurney's campaign.

November 1968:
After Gurney wins, Bush is reactivated and transferred to Georgia.

Hmmm...OK, let's try Kerry '69

January, 1969:
Kerry takes command of a new Swift boat, completing 18 missions over 48 days, almost all in the Mekong Delta area.

February 20, 1969:
Kerry is wounded again, taking shrapnel in the left thigh, after a gunboat battle. He is awarded a second Purple Heart.

February 28, 1969:
Kerry and his boat crew, coming under attack while patroling in the Mekong Delta, decide to counterattack. In the middle of the ensuing firefight, Kerry leaves his boat, pursues a Viet Cong fighter into a small hut, kills him, and retreives a rocket launcher. He is awarded a Silver Star.

March 13, 1969:
A mine detonates near Kerry's boat, wounding him in the right arm. He is awarded a third Purple Heart. He is also awarded a Bronze Star for pulling a crew member, who had fallen overboard, back on the boat amidst a firefight.

Okay, back to GWB, '69:

November 1969:
Bush is flown to the White House by President Nixon for a date with daughter Tricia.

December 1969:
Bush transfers to Houston and moves into Chateaux Dijon complex. Laura lives there too, but they don't meet till later.

End of military service for both about this time; Kerry moves onto politics, with a run at the Senate in '71; George Bush moves on to alcohol, run-ins with the law and drifting from job to job, usually landed through his father's well-placed connections.

If I was George Bush, I'd be ashamed.

43
So who represents the Iraqi people?

The democratically elected government of Iraq represents the Iraqi people.  That's why they have elections.

44 Gleep,

John Kerry pledged to release his military records after the election.  He has yet to honor that pledge despite repeated requests.  Therefore everything you said about him is worth crap.

45 The democratically elected government of Iraq represents the Iraqi people.  That's why they have elections.

And they haven't been able to hold a parlimentary session in going on three months because too few of the democratically elected lawmakers are willing to risk their lives to show up. Really, JC, you should move beyond a schoolboy's knowledge of what is actually happening on the ground in Iraq.

46 Kerry allows Navy release of military, medical records
Show numerous commendations

By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff  |  June 7, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Senator John F. Kerry, ending at least
two years of refusal, has waived privacy restrictions and authorized
the release of his full military and medical records.

Uh, what the f--k are you talking about JC? All of the dates for both Bush and Kerry listed above are on record ...

Oz to JC, Oz to JC, come in for landing JC. Over.

47 http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2005/06/07/kerry_allows_navy_release_of_military_medical_records/

48 John Kerry: Purple Heart, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Silver Star. The Silver Star is the fourth highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of the United States Armed Forces, and the third highest given for valor (in the face of the enemy). The Bronze Star Medal is awarded for both heroism
and non-combat meritorious service. The Bronze Star medal is often
issued to individuals who performed notable accomplishments, but not to
the level required of the Silver Star.

George Bush: DWI, Cocaine Habit, Bar Tab.

49 Other Silver Star Winners:
Max Cleland
Wesley Clark
James Stockdale
Jim Webb
John McCain

Notably absent from the list:
George W Bush
Dick Cheney
Karl Rove
Donald Rumsfeld
Ruch Limbaugh, (Non-Office Holding Honorable Mention)

50 How many of you trust our government? That's what I thought. And we expect some foreign nation to trust us? LOL

51 How many of you trust our government? That's what I thought. And we expect some foreign nation to trust us? LOL
 
Kerry = integrity     Bush = trailortrashchickenhawk

52 he is an ass hole how can you talk about the dose dam soliders fighting for your freedoms losing there lifes and u can call them dumbass you should be hanged u fuckn democrate bitch
sorry for the messed up spelling today not a good day for me lol

53 Could somebody explain to me, using really small words, without skipping over anything, how exactly it is that what Kerry said is an insult to out troops? Perhaps if he had said something like, "study hard, or else you'll end up stuck in the military", but he didn't say that. This seems to me yet another example of the giant right-wing media conspiracy not letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

Newt was on Fox yesterday trying to explain this, and eventually he fell back to the position of arguing about Kerry's behavior in 1971. Okay, fine, but if we're going to evaluate our leaders based on their choices in 1971, let's make sure we spend some time on Bush Jr.'s choice during that period as well.

54 The comment above at line 13 is a hoax.  It appears as though someone who knows me or has read some of my earlier posts has decided to parody the fact that I take a strong pro-American, pro-military stand, but I do not believe dissent is illegal (but treason is) and I do not believe all Muslims , "every man, woman and child" should be killed (only the murderous savages who care not for life--not mine, not yours and not their own).
 
Just to set the record straight.
