Sklar, I called you an asshole because it was more expediant than responding to your whole post, but if you insist:
Kerry is a backstabber, pure and simple. After he finished with the Vietnam War, he went and testified before congress and backstabbed the men he served with.(by telling the truth) He destroyed the reputation of an entire generation of Veterans. Growing up in the 1970's, I fully believed that people did the acts that Kerry testified to. It is to my intense shame, that I drank the poison that he dispenced. Not only did he testify to them, he also admitted before Congress that he particiapted in them, too.
No, you cunt- Kerry did NOT destroy their reputation, THEY did by doing what they did. Telling the truth is NOT treason. So he did some things that he felt ashamed of doing, and he fucking confessed to it. That takes big balls, I wish the rest of the
cuntry had them.
The interesting thing about that is that we have a man who has professed (did you mean CONfessed? There IS a difference between pro and con) to war crimes and hasn't been tried on them.
Now, thanks to the Swift Boat Veterans, we know that his testimony to Congress was a lie.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, I would elaborate, but there really isn't much reason. If you believe the swiftboatvets, that pretty well sums it up.
This whole idea that what he said was a botched joke is his contempt to people who have a brain. Saying John Kerry can tell a joke is like telling Roseann that she can sing.
It probably wasn't a botched joke, he probably meant it just the way he said it. I'll agree that he is lacking in the personality to tell a joke. Actually, it's the God's honest truth that people with less opportunity and education are more likely to join the armed forces, and the recruiting guidebook published here earlier pretty well establishes that, from their own perspective. I'm sorry so many of you repubs are just too blind to see that your own party is selling you out, but it ain't my problem.
Plus, he still hasn't, and won't, apologize to the men and women in the military. And let me say, too, that I AM a Veteran. I served in the USMC from 1989 to 1993. During my time in the Marines I was profoundly struck by the intelligence and moral backbone that I found there. I had already had a year and a half of college before i went to boot camp and I will say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the people I served with are far more intelligent than those that the college was teaching.
See, this is why I called you an asshole. He doesn't OWE anybody an apology for telling the truth, even if it hurted your little feelings. Grow up.
Saw a lot of conflict serving in those cushy years too, I'll bet.
No doubt, in peacetime you'll get a different crop of recruits, because it's a good way to learn a skill and get an education without having to risk your neck. In wartime, it's entirely different- but you know that already, don't you?
As a matter of fact, my grandfather served in WWII and my father served in Korea in the armed foces as well, and I'm very proud of both of them, as I am of the men and women who serve today. The difference is that I also hold people accountable for being able to think, and not join a conflict that they are not morally invested in. IF they are morally invested in this one, I find that sad. I don't know what your experience was, but I wouldn't call you the prime candidate for judging the whole college educational system as compared to the Marines.
Backstabber! Backstabber! Backstabber! Backstabber! Backstabber!
I will give Kerry some Kudos, though. He's the most famous male gold digger we've ever known.
Um, hasn't he always been wealthy?

And you sure don't mind name calling, as long as it's YOU doing it.
And, before the personal attacks start in on me, if you are going to tow the party line, please don't. What he said is and was indefensible! This is NOT about the war. This is NOT about President Bush. This is AND WILL ALWAYS BE about how Kerry said that if you don't get a good education you will end up in the military.
I can assure you I don't tow any fucking party line, and I feel free to attack stupid thoughts wherever I find them, regardless of who posts them. You know I don't know you well and have no personal grudge- I am attacking your stance. It's easily enough done.
If you can't keep that truth focused in your mind, don't respond to what I've said.
Say what you mean- if we don't agree with you, you don't want to hear it. Your post was so full of bullshit I found it merciful to just call you an ass. No apology forthcoming, feel free to stomp and throw rocks. YOU'RE free to post whatever nonsense you feel, everyone else is free to respond in they way they see fit. It's called freedom of speech. I haven't threatened you or suggested you not post. Deal with it.
Honestly, I have a special disgust with people who are easily offended by words, but can support a president like bush who has condoned prison torture, spying on our citizens, lying to the American people to involve us in war to begin with, and therefore killing more of our own people than Al-Queda ever did. I am morally offended by THAT, which YOU support. You're still free to post that dribble, and I'm still free to express my disdain.
