Do George Bush and his allies really have any standing to call someone out for fumbling a sentence?
“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.”
UPDATE: Slight grammatical fix.
As much as the right-wing nut jobs might like to see John Kerry at Zanies… He should keep his day job. 🙂
I shouldn’t be surprised any more by how willingly and quickly conservatives distort reality and ignore facts, but it does still surprise me at times.
How you can turn John Kerry’s ridiculously offensive comments into George W. Bush’s fault makes no sense to me. Vet or no vet, John Kerry has offended me and everyone who has ever served or is serving this great country. This is something that John Kerry has created on his own.
Wow, you are dense. Kerry wasn’t making fun of the troops, he was making fun of George Bush and flubbed a line. Do you not think that is what happened? And why would you think that?
That you are willing to be used by the right wing noise machine to attack Kerry when no one believes he meant anything about the troops, but to make fun of the President is telling about how we ended up in an unnecessary war with no plan to win or get out.
Bush has flubbed more than a few lines and in some cases those have endangered our national security including his line about Taiwanese independence or for that matter Dick Cheney’s line about the US operating on Pakistani soil. If flubbing a line is going to be taken this seriously, then I’d suggest George Bush start reviewing all of his flubbed lines before attacking someone else.
