And This Guy Was Almost President?
I still find it hard to believe that anyone voted for John Kerry after everything he did to lie about and demoralize the U.S. citizenry (and as a mild side amusement his former fellow soldiers) during the Vietnam War. I think the guy is a slimy opportunist that follows the leftist wind when it suits him. A "senator" like him could only survive and thrive in the same state that regularly reelects a criminal like Teddy Kennedy.
Is it any surprise, then, when he continues to say the same things, over and over in an attempt to portray U.S. soldiers as ignorant, hapless lower-class morons? It's unlikely you've been able to miss his latest foible, but I'll print it below.
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
The antique media is doing its level best to blow this off. The quote is damaging to their Chosen Few to say the least. Kerry, for his part, at first wouldn't apologize for the comment, and then when it became apparent that the right-wing bloggers weren't going to let it slide, he said he was "only referring to the President". That doesn't, however, fit the context of the rest of his speech.
Ok, if you stretch it, you can say he felt he didn't need to let anyone know he was referring to the President, because we should all be mind readers. Or you can take his comments as they are and in the context of the general loathing he's shown since "Winter Soldier" and before of men in uniform.
He's gone from resistance to feigned apology to imagined outrage in his defense, now blaming everyone else for being out to get him. Nixon anyone? Admit it, John. You said it. 'Fess up. It's not like Massachusetts citizens are going to think ill of you for it and vote you out. You're guaranteed your cushy job to keep pushing socialism on the rest of the United States, so why the outrage? And this "if you haven't been in a uniform you have not right to say anything" crap is just that, a big steaming pile. This country is not a military dictatorship and we don't have to serve in uniform to have a say in criticizing our elected officials, Republican or Democrat. Kerry's been reading too much Heinlein.
And this man knows as much about true soldiers as I know about brain surgery. I've heard of it, but I doubt I could reproduce it. Just because he served a couple of months in country on a boat, and under dubious clouds of performance at that, doesn't give him the right to lecture the rest of us on what we can and cannot criticize about him and his fellow Lefticrats.
Face it, the antique media isn't the only show in town anymore and the right isn't the only group that's going to get bashed when someone says something stupid. You just suck it up, admit you screwed the pooch and carry on. No free rides JFKerry.

I concur with your written comments about John Kerry.As a Veteran, I find him a rather offensive and totally phony "public servant". He was, is and will always be a left wing opportunist. This guy did absolutely NOTHING for our Prisoners of War when he was the head of the Vietnam Veterans against the war. And he had the absolute gall to depict ALL OF OUR PEOPLE IN NAM as mass murderers, which was not true! And Kerry destroyed any chance he had of running again for the Presidency in 2008 by insulting our troops in Iraq through his boorish sense of humor.
