Why are libs defending Kerry's rude comment?

His comments are insensitive and indefensible.

Kerry meant what he said.  He was speaking STANDARD, WRITTEN, ENGLISH. There's nothing mysterious about what he said....he made a direct insult to the men and women of the US military.  \n\nIt was shameful.

Kerry is a candy azz coward. I'd slap him silly given the chance.\nMurtha is a senile bassturd, he's no war hero he's a traitor. Hasn't that fat bassturd heard of innocent until proven guilty?\nKennedy is a worthless murdering drunk .

Good point. Are we supposed to read between the lines with a politician of one party but not the other? Let's see...Kerry's statement could have been misconstrued as an arrogant belief about the intellect of soldiers, if you are looking for it. And the president's statement could be taken to mean that the masses need to be controlled by the government. Hmm. I'd say look at the big picture.

Well obvious Mr. Savage is going for a reaction, as I presume are you, and somewhat successfully too.\n\nI can't deny its not fun to antagonize our liberal friends, as you are, but of course at the end of the day, the blind following of ideals from either end of the political spectrum, is the main stay of democracy. It would be as easy to find ridiculous conservative ideas as it was to find ridiculous democratic ideals and question the sanity of those that repeat them.\n\nSo fun yes, but no, not true.

Your post makes ZERO sense. You're supposed to ask questions here, not bash "libs"...

Honestly, when discussing the war with liberal friends, they honestly believe that soldiers are stupid, misinformed or dirt poor. They don't come out and say it like that, but its obvious they struggle with the fact that people enlist for a lot of reasons including sense of duty and calling. I don't know if it will hurt them or not but I think it shows Kerry's and other Democrats true colors.

Kerry is just trying to stay relevant, but the joke is the guy was never relevant.  Every vote for Kerry was simply a vote against Bush, no sane person could support John Kerry as the leader of our country.  Liberals hate Bush because he refuses to give them any credence at all, and so they went out in force to support a man that has no business in the executive office.  Kerry was a joke in 2004 and he's a joke now.  Actually now he's the punchline.\n\nWho ever said he was a great debater, he couldn't even beat George Bush in a debate and our President is certainly not an eloquent speaker by any means. \n\nHere's the deal though, we conservatives need to get off the Kerry thing we're making him appear relevant by talking about him.  He's a tool let him stay in the toolbox, stop bringing him out.\n\nNice point Kate, I believe he actually is gay, look at his wife.  Scary.

It goes to show you what liberal Democrats will do if they get control! Typical loony leftist liberal attitude toward our military. Are we really expected to believe that his insult was due to the fact that he can't tell a "GOOD JOKE"?? That dumb excuse proves that he thinks everyone is stupid & not just our troops!  He's always been an arrogant SOB & now he's proved it. He bit himself in the as-!

Don't be sad. It makes me laugh when people throw the word "liberal" around like it's an insult. "You...you...LIBERAL, you." Not quite on par with calling someone a m*therf*cker, is it?

I never liked Kerry to begin with.  He acted like he was above the common person.  My husband is a recent enlistee in the National Guard along with my brother.  I have three cousins and an uncle in the Armed Forces and both my grandfathers retired from the military.  Every single one of these men have a degree of some sort and my uncle is a lawyer!  Come on now!  Kerry's words may have been intended for Bush but if that's the case, he should apologize for his wording.  He owes our troops an apology for his misstatement, not his stance.    He won't apologize because he stands by his position and dislike of president Bush.  He thinks if he apologizes , he's admitting he's wrong.  He'd be admitting a misconstrued statement.

wait a minute.  who are these "Libs so gung ho for War?"  i'm certainly no liberal, but i know, and tolerate, somewhat, a number of self-proclaimed liberals.  by the same token, i know and tolerate, somewhat, a number of conservatives (who are mostly embarrassed these days).  all these folks, which i regard as friends and associates have one thing in common.  they are against the war.  they mostly feel they've been lied to by a government they want so much to support.  now personally i knew bush was lieing when i saw his lips moving.  now of course i've been prooven correct.  that doesn't make me feel any better.  this war is a tragedy.  \n\nas for your commentary on main stream media, you describe it as "their MSM media."  i take it you see the media as liberal?  where have you been?  main stream media is anything but liberal. when was it?  sure there have been a few liberal types who had columns, perhaps a few television talking heads, but media is big business, and in so many cases is unabashed state propaganda.  you should thank your god that there are liberals in the media.

They're mimicking the "fallacious logic" rhetoric technique conservative pundits use during their TV, book, and radio rants.  It's like a kid using the "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" response to everything you say.  They simply can't answer a question with an ANSWER.  They answer questions by attacking the asker without actually answering the question.\n\nIt's also pretty useless to site sources, because everything that is written about a topic "1st Tier", such as a study, scientifically-conducted opinion poll, or peer-reviewed research paper, generally is instantly written off as "liberal bias".\n\nAnother mistake that is made by liberals and progressives is that they assume everyone already knows the facts when they give their opinions.  Most neo-cons DON'T and assume you are pulling your opinions out of your butt like they do or you are mimicking a pundit like they are.  They can't percieve that anyone could actually look at facts and interpret them in their own way...if they aren't smart enough to do this, how could you be?

As much as I'd like to appreciate the sentiments that you were wrong in attacking liberals, I have to think that your probably are one yourself, and that you're doing the same thing as all the conservative dingbats on here, just with less verbal abuse.\n\nEither that, or you are hardcore conservative, and you're just doing that to criticize us later on.\n\nI hope you aren't either case, and if I'm wrong, I truly apologize, but I just have this feeling.

Look at the responses to your question. Liberals hate bush to the point of stupidity. He can do no good no matter what. Clinton sends troops to Bosnia and they accept that without ANY protest (they are still there even though Clinton promised they would return in one year), our troops are dragged through the streets of Somalia (that's ok because a liberal sent them there). As much as liberals like to think of themselves as open minded and non-judgmental they are neither. If you know a liberal this is a great joke to play. Read the paper in the morning and look for a quote from any liberal (i.e. Hillary, Teddy, Nancy P. etc.) attribute it to Bush and the liberal will spew hatred at the comment and say, "what an idiot", when you correct the source they will get upset and leave. If you do the same to a conservative they will usually say something like, "well that is stupid" and still disagree. Conservatives are better on the ideological which hurts us politically but it's better than being a liberal.

Ditto.  Some conservatives are so angry at me I just half to laugh\n\n\nAlso.Look at Irishharpist's answer. Typical for someone who has\n  fallen under Coulter's toxic trance.Typical.

Because John Kerry never intended to say he was sorry . Today , his written statement was merely for damage control. He still didn't say that he was wrong to call our military stupid & uneducated . Yesterday he called a press conference to state that he'd never apologize . Today his written phony baloney backs that up . It's not an apology . He needs to go to Iraq and really apologize ; then come back and resign from the senate .
