Thread: Kerrey Insults Troops Yet Again

Kerry's Bush-Bash Backfires as Snow, GOP Fire Away at Troops 'Stuck in Iraq' Comment

WASHINGTON — An attack on President Bush's Iraq policy by Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry erupted into a verbal dogfight Tuesday between the failed 2004 Democratic presidential candidate and administration spokesman Tony Snow, who Kerry called a "stuffed suit White House mouthpiece."

It is just one of several nasty proxy battles between Democratic and Republican leaders in the run-up to next Tuesday's election.
"What Sen. Kerry ought to do first is apologize to the troops," Snow told reporters Tuesday, referring to a comment Kerry made a day earlier while campaigning in California for gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides.
Speaking to a group of students at Pasadena City College on Monday, Kerry said:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

That last remark spread like wildfire across the World Wide Web.
A half-mocking Snow told reporters at the daily White House briefing that Kerry's comments are emblematic of his disdain for the military.

(Bold emphasis mine).

So the Papercut Purpleheart Pansy strikes again, and just before the election. Will the Democrats be claiming that the Bushes engineered this "October Surprise"?

Frankly, I don't want an apology from him. Trash like that doesn't have any authority to judge his betters and his apology to them is meaningless.

Besides, the longer he refuses the bigger the stink. Needless to say, I'm betting the Hillary Gang has that sixteen copies of that video clip locked up tight in sixteen secure places, for use in 2008.

This guys true colors will always come out, I can't wait to see who will come swash buckling to his defense this time.

He just had a press conferance where he acted indignant....what a fool!

There's a reason why he lost the last election, and fraud wasn't it.

What a real ass wipe.

I never liked Kerry. I think we needed a change last presidential election... too bad all the dems could come up with is this bumbling fool. They better hope for someone better this time.

An embarrassant to his own party.

So according to his office, what he MEANT to say:

"You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."

Meaning Bush didnt study, didnt work hard and now is an idiot who can't understand the world. When it came out "You get stuck in Iraq" it clearly sounds like he meant dumb kids will be stuck in the military, when he ... apparantly... meant dumb presidents get stuck in Iraq.

The sad thing is... this actually makes sense and is plausible. He probably did mean to mean it as a shot at Bush's intelligence, not the military's. He is a vet after all. But noone's gonna care what he meant after saying something like that. The students must have been stunned. If any of them were even listening.

How many times can a guy with loads of money, a great job and in good health have the entire world shake their collective head at him and say 'God what a loser, I'm glad I'm not him'.

White House, Kerry square off in Iraq row

The irony is that Kerry got lower scores at the same school as Bush. And Kerry's D's were from History and Political Science. Maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut. On CNN, it was clarified. He wasn't intending to malign the troops, he was intending on maligning the President. He should be so proud.

Yeah there's just no getting out of this. Even what he wanted to say wasn't ... anything.

He should just run and hide. Find an old bomb-shelter or something.
