Another response that shows that you do not understand Kerry and his betrayal of the Vietnam Vets… You do need to get better educated on his antics.

This man is a menace to society…

Kerry did apologize, didn’t he? Who was right and who was wrong there, twit?

And although I got sidetracked a little in taking Cole to task for not vouchsafing conservative bloggers the same integrity with which he wishes to infuse himself, I disagreed with Cole and Kos for belittling the impact (obviously even more profound than I thought otherwise Kerry would have said screw you about apologizing)as a cheap Republican trick.

As for my “intellectual standing” (WTF does that mean? Sounds like a kid trying to talk like a grown up) and “gravitas” (more juvenile rot) my work speaks for itself. As for Cole “growing up in public” perhaps he should have grown up a little in private. His whining about politicians is puerile and immature. Anyone who would vote for a racist like Byrd over an inoffensive dork like Raese is a pouting child and should be called out for his stupidity.

BTW - I’ve taken Republicans to task for years on this fricking blog and I don’t need some ignoramus lecturing me on the GOP or politics, or anything else for that matter.

And I’m as objective as I choose to be on any given subject at any given time. Don’t like it, GTF out of here.

You, riffing on Andrew Sullivan:

how much will this affect the voting next Tuesday?
Not too damn much, I’m afraid.

You, riffing on John Cole:

I disagree with John Cole and his buddy Kos that this is all a tempest in a teapot and not really an issue in the campaign

If you take all the babbling out of this post, it says:

“John Kerry is stupid because he won’t apologize for something I know he didn’t say. I refuse to criticize the people I support who are twisting his words. And I hate John Cole for not going down with the sinking Republican ship like me, and he and Kos make me sick because they know the Republicans are as desperate as hell by making hay out of this bullshit.”

Frankly Rick, you haven’t got the intellectual standing or the ‘gravitas’ to insult John Cole. You’re not even a tenth as thoughtful or as interesting as John is. John my be growing up in public right now, but that takes guts. Knowing full well your party is wrong on this stupid kerfuffle and still criticizing John Kerry, not so much guts.

Just drop the objectivity guise and be the mean spirited jackass you really are. Your contrarian act is a farce.

John Kerry-”And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the–of–the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not…Iraqis should be doing that.”

John Kerry-”they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan”

Strike Three and his true opinion of the military is quite clear. Will it effect this election cycle? Maybe not, but it probably effected the 2008 election cycle!

My reason for believing this: There is an evangelical base that is flying under the MSM’s radar. What Kerry did yesterday was a blip (one of many examples where DNC words and actions campaign hard for the GOP in evangelical communities). At the end of the day this is one of four reasons the evangelicals will turn out in droves.

Im not a professional analyst, but my full theory is here. Feedback is welcome:
