Kerry apologizes amid heavy DNC pressure
John "I shot myself" Kerry issued a formal apology this afternoon for his disparaging remarks about U.S. troops fighting the War on Terror in Iraq.Here's the full statement from the Senator...
| As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop. I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended. It is clear the Republican Party would rather talk about anything but their failed security policy. I don’t want my verbal slip to be a diversion from the real issues. I will continue to fight for a change of course to provide real security for our country, and a winning strategy for our troops. |
Only a Democrat could call those remarks a "joke." And only an extreme liberal who already hates America and our military could even get it. I mean, you tell me...where's the punch line? Go to school and do well or you end up in the military stuck in Iraq...ta dah!!!
This is the point where Kerry supporters inject audience laughter to help us along. Forgive me for saying this Mr. Kerry, but your career in comedy is about as poor as your record as a "combat veteran."
It's funny how when the heat gets turned on by your own, you’re suddenly Johnny Carson doing late night stand-up. Do you think Kerry would have called it a "joke" had the DNC not stepped in? Of course not.
It's like I said yesterday, this guy - while saying incredibly dumb things - isn't half as stupid as we think. His remarks were carefully crafted from his distaste for anything and everything military. He likes to tout his suspect "combat veteran" status every chance he can get when it serves his best interest, but takes every chance he can get to demoralize our troops with anti-war rhetoric. He votes to send troops to Iraq and then votes against every single measure to help them win the war overseas and at home.
And now we should consider his apology sincere? Sorry bro, you lost your cred the moment you came home from Vietnam and called our military a bunch of murderers.
John Kerry and his band of liberal brothers in Washington is a new breed of Democratic leadership. They come from the Vietnam era where it became okay to oppose freedom, democracy and America. Unfortunately these nut jobs are now leading the Democratic party down a very dishonorable and dangerous path. It's a path that calls fighting back in the War on Terror a failure, gives Geneva protections to terrorists and opposes every single effort to protect Americans. And yet he states he wants to provide "real security for our country." Tell me Senator, what exactly is real security? Is it the kind that demoralizes troops by pulling them from a war you say they can't win and then sitting with your head up your ass hoping you and your jihad-loving buddies haven't offended a Muslim terrorist today.
Yeah, leave it to a guy who shot himself on a training mission while getting cozy with communists to protect America.
