Kerry must not have gotten the memo to mask his liberalism while campaigning...
Posted by Warner Todd Huston on October 31, 2006 - 09:39.
The Pasadena Star News yesterday reported on a rally for failing California Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Phil Angelides, at which John Kerry warned students in the audience that if they didn't get an education they would have no other alternative than to be forced into the US Armed Forces.
"Kerry then told the students that if they were able to navigate the education system, they could get comfortable jobs - 'If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq,' he said to a mixture of laughter and gasps."
Obviously, Kerry feels that all our soldiers are uneducated louts with no other opportunities.
So, how many news outlets do you think will bother to cover this gasp inducing claim from former Democratic Party presidential candidate, John F. Kerry?
Let's see if this is picked up by anyone. It's been a day already and only Drudge and Neil Boortz seems to have caught it thus far.
What Kerry said is typical, no surprise. He should be called to the carpet for one more slam at the finest, smartest, toughest military in the world he once compared to 'terrorists,' but what gets me is his audience laughed. How pathetic, and another reason why Democrats can't be trusted to run this country.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's how the San Diego CBS affiliate reported it:
The race for governor comes to San Diego Tuesday. Democrat Phil Angelides will be stumping in America's Finest City.
Monday night, Angelides received support from Senator John Kerry in Pasadena.
"Phil's life in American politics has been characterized by a desire to make government work for people," said Senator Kerry.
Senator Kerry won California's electoral votes in 2004. Angelides is clearly hoping some of that popularity will rub off as he continues to trail in the polls.
Guess they missed the rest of his speech.

McCain laid into Kerry, and Kerry repsonded this way:
A Kerry adviser said that Kerry was referring to the general intellectual abilities of Pres. Bush and not U.S. troops. The quotation, the adviser admits, came out slightly "mangled."
Late 10/30, Kerry issued a response to criticism from WH press. sec. Tony Snow: "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."
Kerry aide David Wade: "When will John McCain ask his new Republican best friends George Bush and Dick Cheney to apologize for misleading America into war and giving us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it? John McCain's neoconservative pals 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."
Yeah, that's it, it's Bush's fault Kerry can't keep his mouth shut and it's "despicable Republican attacks" to criticize him for demeaning our men and women in uniform. Go ahead and vote Democrat, this is the kind of idiot you're gonna get. |
