Buahahaha.

John Kerry’s apology came late, and with a little B.S. attached, but it’s still an apology. Soldiers were outraged when John Kerry told them, they were stupid. John Kerry said: “You know, education…if you make the most of it…if you s…

I believe that sums up GregH’s opinion; that Kerry’s “joke” was distorted and he was innocent ro something.

First, that should be “or” and not “ro.” Second, although I believe I have it basically right (at least), if I’m not accurate about your opinion, GregH, please correct me on what it is.

Holy Donkey do Batman, the Joker is on the loose again…. John Kerry does kinda look like the old Joker…. maybe he is…

I noticed that GregH has not said anything. What about it GregH?

He did link to this post on Hot Air from this webpage. Here’s the small mention of it:

The Kerry Distortion – watch the events unfold.

I believe that sums up GregH’s opinion; that Kerry’s “joke” was distorted and he was innocent ro something.

As for the “botched joke” and my opinion on it, I believe that if it really was a joke (botched or not), it’s sick and it’s further proof Kerry’s lack of class. I believe he believes what he said. I, and it’s sad if that’s actually true. And any apology he offers (even if he speaks it) won’t do any good. At least that’s how I see it.

By the way, did he apologize for accusing the troops of “going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night terrorizing kids and children, uh, uh, uh, y’know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the–uh, uh, uh, of, of, of, uh, historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not, Iraqis should be doing that.” from almost a year ago on CBS’s “Face the Nation”?

More Kerry Magic!

I don’t think there is any question: Kerry got caught with his guard down and is now spinning an outright lie to try and cover his tracks. Personally I think this kills any hope of Kerry ever getting near another Presidential nomination (if it….

progressives have been doing battle with the institution of an all volunteer military since mid 2003, branding it early on as a “poverty draft”.

the battle became formalized and physical with the so-called “counter-recruiting” movement and tactics developed by the afsc. this gave members of the media and pundits a means to newsify their agenda against our armed forces. when counter-recruiters were active, any seasonal dip in recruiting numbers were eagerly promoted through alarmist news items.

but two years of examination disproved the assertion that counter-recruiters presented any real effect on recruiting numbers. the media elites’ explaination for this phenomenon has been to reaffirrm their base conciet that the only type of person capable of military duty is stupid by issuing news items asserting that the military has lowered its recruiting standards.

a google search of “lowering” “recruiting” “standards” results in thousands of hits from both the mainstream and leftwing activist media:

http://www.slate.com/id/2127487/ (uses the term “dumbing down” to describe new recruits)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15197832/
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1004-01.htm
etc.

other terms may be as effective. the point is that the leftwing conciet that military servicemembers are charictarized by intellectual inferiority, and that it is the noble concern of decent people that the military is the leading predator of our nation’s stupid, is one which is profligate and comfortably shared amongst the left.

in stark contradiction of the notion that kerry “obviously” could not have meant the troops, it is in fact unlikely that he intended to convey otherwise. his message was not meant, to his thinking, with wanton malice. rather his intention was to spur his audience to moral action – to strengthen education as an alternative to the predatory appeals of military service.

of course, a shorter route to disproving kerry’s spin is to try to parse bush into kerry’s statement:

“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, you can do well. If you don’t, you [may become a president who get's our country] stuck in Iraq.”

i mean, honestly.

It was really sad to see Alan Colmes try to explain away Kerry’s “joke gone bad.”

Power Line already beat me to the punch on this one; but the line that struck me most in John Kerry’s non-apology… Oh, wait; for all those people who turn first to Big Lizards for all the day’s news (poor……
