It's almost impossible to turn on the radio, surf the net, open a newspaper or watch TV without hearing about John Kerry's "joke." But it's just as impossible to hear what John Kerry actually said, in context. All you can find is the part that Karl Rove wants you to hear. All right, Karl Rove !!! Keep up the good work. Isn't it interesting how so many prominent Democrats demanded Kerry's apology. No. The Democratic party is made up of people who think for themselves. They are not a mindless herd like the Republicans. Personally I don't see why he apologized, if he meant what he said. He didn't apologoze for what he said. He apologized to anyone who was stupid enough to misstake what he said as an affront to the troops. In other words, "I'm sorry you are an idiot". Interesting spin. I guess Hillary and Harry Reid are idiots, as far as Kerry was concerned. Max |

So if I write: "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 as a Democrat," it shouldn't offend dems at all because I was insulting the fact they ask you to register under a party in order to vote. -- And according to the statement above, if a dem is offended, he could be an idiot! ![]() Based on the above, you are an idiot.

I agree. Of course, if he does appologize, someone should come along and give him a hard time for it. Especially if he doesn't actually admit to insulting the troops, which he probably won't. And if he *does* admit to insulting the troops, well, look out Nelly! Wait... I thought Kerry already admited to it. Sigh... Anyway check out the below web link. "During a Vietnam-era run for Congress three decades ago, John Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes." Link: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20061102/D8L4QH580.html I'm not saying anything about Kerry thinking a drafted military is the way to go but it looks like he *might* have an issue with the type of people in a volunteer military. |

But if you're going to allow Dak to remove extraneous state-of-being verbs, maybe one ought to allow Kerry to ex-post facto insert the missing pronoun? i.e. "...you wind up getting US stuck in Iraq." The Dems are trying that one. I see that today they published his text as he intended to say it. Or allow the substitution of "Dak" for "Walt" in your post, which is obviously what you meant. Which is to say that we all mis-speak from time to time; the fact that a simple misstatement brings down the full fury of the wing-nut-o-sphere indicates something about them, and it ain't charitable. This little kurfuffle acts quite well as a screen to see if someone is reasonable and thoughtful, or whether they just knee-jerk react to the noise machine. Congratulations for passing, Dave. Respect is earned. Thank you, and well spoke. Lets all end it here and go back to talking about sailin. Fer gods sake, I'll even discuss "Ellen MaCarthurs" fake pics over this. |

If he apologizes we can blame Kerry.

"John Kerrysaid he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be
dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes." Yes, and if you put the two letter word "us" back into Kerry's speech as it was originally written, all the hand wringing Republicans look like the blindered idiots they are. CWM Um yeah... what Charles said. It was fun today guys - being in the presence of such intellect. Who knows if I think it over tonight I might decide to change parties and then I can come back tomorrow and start calling people idiots, making derogatory remarks and wanting Kerry in as president in 2008... I mean as opposed to wanting him to run in 2008 that is... |

Liberal debating technique at its finest. Max Is that the best you can come up with? I made a point, and it was obviously correct to any honest person. That may exclude you. Referring to Dak (whomever that may be) as an idiot is what I was referring to. You lash out with ad hominem attacks whenever someone disagrees with your argument. You've done so from the inception of your time in this NG, so nothing is particularly surprising about it. As a debating technique, however, it lacks credibility, but is a commonplace technique used by the left when their opponents fail to see things 'their way,' so I've noticed. Your assessment of Kerry's comment is spot on, actually. He was attacking Bush, not the troops. But he stupidly opened mouth and inserted foot, as he is wont to do, by not thinking about how such a comment would be removed from context and misinterpreted by the spinmeisters on the other side. I do believe he maintains continuing antipathy toward things military, but that had nothing to do with this comment. Max |

Aren't they dumb? g Not sure I'd go so far as to call them "dumb," but they do lack sound debating ability when faced with divergence from their opinions. In other words, they are like spoiled children. Max |
