John Kerry is my Senator for some reason. If you want to see HELL, look at my state run by his party 98% but he is also the biggest TRAITOR to the USA who has EVER been elected. Benedict Arnold might have actually been a lot less of a traitor.
Kerry betrayed above all his brothers in the service. The ones he "fought" aside. They are trying to tell you what an opportunist, lying, treasonous pig he is. Vietnam has a memorial to him, credited with their victory due to his propaganda and lies!
GARAB80 I accidentally listed you as "ignoring the other 29 islamic wars" in the ending of my statement above. Please accept my apology. You are obviously aware that there are in fact OTHER wars in this world. But because we are the USA, WE are the ones who are under the magnifying glass.
Garab80...Currently, 31 of the numerous wars in the world today are ISLAMIC related. The US is involved in 2 of those wars. If the news reported on the other 29 wars, you'd have a better knowledge of the REAL world. Why aren't people mad or concerned about the tens of thousands of innocent people who are being killed by
Ya the american military is the cause of terrorism. You are so stupid. If 911 didnt appen the world would still be at peace. Dont start none wont be none. If you hate America so much go live somewhere else. If you do live somewhere else ask yourself one question, whenever your in trouble who do you always come crying to for help. I cant wait until China becones the supreme power in the world. Then they can handle all of the worlds problems.
I went to an American school since kindergarten and they taught us "Peace in the world" since then. What the hell do i tell my kids now? World peace only comes after mass destruction of foreign countries? The american army is the cause of the war on terror, and also their solution of the war on terror. Truth is, you don't need to be nuclear scientist to be in the army, but bravo if you are.
The troops really are idiots if they're gonna get so hung up on words. All they were, WORDS. They could be much smarter about spending their time, like studying and learn not to follow orders that lead us to an immoral end. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11... FACT yet so many troups were CONVINCED that it did. thats why they're there. If that was just explained in a better tone and reworded it'd be so less offensive.
If you had any level of intelligence at all, you'd realize that the troops really have no choice what they do or don't do. So what you're saying is no one should volunteer for military service because all it encompasses is following orders. So we should have no military at all, so when shit does hit the fan, I guess we can just give up. What a ridiculous statement.
americans really need to wake up from the left vs right nonsense. The real power lies with the world bank and the UN. Bush and Kerry are only puppets to this master. They represent two sides of the same coin. If you examine their voting records, you will find them almost identical.
why are you guys defending him? the troops deserve a word of apology or some kind of explanation. he is not talking to the president... he's trying to belittle the war in iraq which is understandable in his point of view, but for all the troops who fight in the military this must be dehumanizing. shame on you all for defending him... he made a mistake... he needs to fix it.
Forget the whining about Kerry. Iraq is going up in flames, courtesy of Bush's blunders. Does anyone listen to anything but FNC? The retiring Generals are calling for Rumsfeld's head, every single Intel report says we're making terrorism worse, latest Pentagon report shows it's almost off the scale in red "chaotic" and the "Democratic" election has given us an Iranian backed Gov. that refuses to disarm the militias. IT COULD NOT BE WORSE. Vote against anyone who supports Bush.
John Kerry in 1972: "I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown."
Look up all his comments about our Military..he has said many things over the years...Our troops in Vietnam were all rapists and Murders...etc...google his comments over the years...He is very ant-miltary..he thinks our military is uneducated wortheless people...
Saying that the volunteer army would inevitably be made up of minorities and the underprivelaged is not putting those people down, it is sticking up for them.
When you see the quote in context it is SO obvious that he meant the President, I know this video doesn't show it but it is SO obvious nevertheless. Kerry doesn't hate the army, how can someone hate the truth? Kerry is a veteran of the Vietnam war and he saved his entire platoon by throwing himself in front of them. Real men criticise the military. Preach the truth bills944, you'd have to be a moron to be in the army, give those good-for-nothing FOOLS what they had coming them.
so kerry calls them dumb and you call them fools..but somehow we are supposed to take yer word that he respects the military when he donr nothing but ankle bie them since the seventies when he tossed his medals? come on dude...the only people he's foolin are people like you who want to be fooled. real men do thier duty and dont cry like pussies.
Most of our armed forces since the Vietnam era and more today is made up of those who cannot find another job or source of income.
In Vietnam, the war was fought by mainly blacks and poor white guys. The left over 58,000 of their comrades dead in the rice paddies and now they are leaving their comrades dead in the sand of Iraq.
These are just a few of the many examples disproving your point that, "Most of our armed forces since the Vietnam era and more today is made up of those who cannot find another job or source of income."
I believe thepeople youwould be referring towho cannotfind another job orsource of income are actuallypeople who startedoff with no realopportunities handed to them in life,and rather thansit on theirfront porches allday abusing the Democrats welfare system,they chose toget out of their poorneighborhoods and makesomething of themselveswhile servingtheir country.Many of them use the military as a means to a college education they could not have otherwise afforded.So check your facts Dan Rather...
Hmmm. Actually that's a pretty ambiguous comment. My first thought is that he's referring to Bush's botched academic career and that Bush apparently didn't do his homework while in college and if he had he would have had sufficient insight which would have precluded our involvement with Iraq. So, I don't see it as a comment regarding members of the military... rather I see it as a comment regarding Bush and his obvious lack of understanding of history, world politics, etc.
Exactly, Poque972 you lying sack...this is not the "full quote." Why are you out there spreading this misinformation? Kerry was talking about George Bush which is obvious if you include the sentences Kerry spoke before the clip you show. I voted for Bush and I don't support Kerry but I despise this sort of distortion and dishonestly. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Kerry but this clip is not one of them.
What Kerry said was stupid. If his joke was intended to smear Bush, I think he worded it in the wrong way. But Kerry says dumb stuff, he makes only himself look like a jackass. Bush says dumb stuff, the deficit shoots up, jobs get outsourced, 2500+ soldiers die in Iraq, civil liberties get attacked, and Osama Bin Laden is still at large. I am sorry for the troops who were hurt by Senator Kerry's words, and I am sorry for the troops who were hurt by President Bush's actions.
The quote is clear. Kerry insulted American soldiers in Iraq. Whether he meant to or not may be questioned, but it's nonsense to say it was out of context: he said what he said.
Yeah, OK, I'm SURE he means exactly what he's saying. HEY RETARDS, Kerry is a veteran. If there's one thing veterans don't do, it's disrespect soldiers. Get a real problem, a-holes.
Kerry did not want to go to Vietnam in the first place. He wanted to continue his studies abroad. However the judge would not let him. Oh, and lets not forget the antiwar book that he wrote shortly after his tour of duty.
"When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy.[8] Kerry served as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1970. His second tour of duty in Vietnam was four months as commanding officer of a Swift boat. Kerry was awarded several medals during this tour, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts."
This is not the Full QUOTE... I am no fan of Kerry, the fellow Skull of Bush, However all of you people trying to say that he is talking about the troops when he is clearly not, to anyone who actually heard the WHOLE speech and can comprehend more then 10 seconds of speech in a row can simply see that it was about Bush... Not the Troops...
The U.S. media reaches a real low. Turning the nations attention, days before the election, to something completely irrelevant as the nation wastes away.
Many democrats believe service and intelligence are opposed as you will see by the comments here. Kerry just had the balls to say what most of them think. It wasnt about Bush cus Kerry's gradepoint was just below W's. Jokes are funny, but leave them to Carlos Mencia cus this isnt funny coming from one we ALMOST elected pres and commander in chief.
He is referring to the quality fo GW's education not being too good and that leading us into Iraq, not knowing about the due to his low quality frat party education. You know what I'm saying? This was one of a series of cracks about GW which was taken out of context by the Republicans and the media, and the Repub's have capitalized on it, and unfortunately John K apologized for and didn't see the need to explain.
I am a lifelong democrat. I will be voting republican for the first time due to Senator Kerry's comments. If it was a botched joke what took so long to say he was sorry ? I have lost all confidence in the democratic party.
Kerry was just being a typical commie-loving liberal when he made that insult about our troops. I don't want to hear that he meant for it was a joke that has gone bad. Our troops are serving over in Iraq and elsewhere because of patriotism, not because they are stupid.
umm how is he making fun of bush? That is complete bull. I don't believe Kerry hates the troops at all or thinks their stupid but the words did come out of his mouth and covering it up by trying to make it look like it was really meant to be a jab at bush just makes him look worse
This isn't the full context. Check it out on mediamatters.org. His prepared statement was supposed to be "Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."
They can say that's what he meant to say but the prepared statement was not given out beforehand so that supposed prepared statement that was supposed to be what he meant to say means very little. And you absolutely know that if President Bush said something anywhere close to that the democrats would have tore him down.
Remember "Mission Accomplished?" They were celebrating the capture of Saddam Hussein. That was the mission. It didn't mean the war had been solved and Bush never said it was. And yet the media went crazy. So the current situation is completely fair.
I remember it. Do you? It happened weeks before Saddam Hussein was captured. And it's good to know you believe that makes everything fair. What about when Bush personally made fun of the fact that there were no WMDs in Iraq? How many U.S. soldiers had died already at that point? I know which politician I'd be more upset with if I'd lost family in Iraq, and it's not Kerry.
Kerry is a dirk who needs his screws tightened.All you Kerry lovers shut up already I mean Americans have become one of the most laziest countries now. These "liberals" shouldn't even call them that cause they don't act like it are full of shit if you guys can say stuff like that,look at our countries history, it wasn't by hippies we won. We had to fight for our freedom, we have to fight, and Kerry has never done that, and if Kerry was around during the american revolution we'd have no America.
Kerry is the only honest Demon-crap, he just let the truth be known. They have been hijacked be the leftist socialist communist not the party of John F. Kennedy and it's a damn shame.
What's wrong with Socialism and Communism? Do you even know what those words mean? Kerry's comment was honest, as you said. Many people believe that way; that the impoverished and undereducated are the first to sign up for war. But it wasn't all inclusive, he didn't say that educated people didn't also sign-up. They just have more choices.
What's wrong with Socialism and Communism? Are you crazy. You can't have a Las Vegas in a communist country and you can't have hot strippers. That is what's wrong with it. And in a free society you can skip the strippers and attend church if that's your choice. Step up and learn youngster!
angelides !!! hahahaha bush isnt asking the troops to go over to iraq they signed up themselves dumbass. and yes ive been over there i served my 6 month term.
Hey Coultrane, for one thing Bush got better grades in college than Kerry. Second, my IQ is between 165 and 170, I speak 3 languages and I make 56K a year, plus free medical, and I'm a soldier. They are taking advantage of the half of America that is below average intelligence (your half) and trying to spin this.
Hint: don't go around giving unsolicited advice assuming that every poster on youtube is trying to impress everyone else. But way to be a liberal by making an "off the point" comment to distract from the fact that even IF my statement was boastful, it was relevant to the video, unlike yours.
If you listen to the whole quote, it's obvious Kerry's dissing Bush and not the troops. Of course, the Republicans are gonna try to spin it their way because they're desperate. They're floundering in this war and they've been protecting pedophiles for years, so who can blame them?
yeah republicans protect pedophiles... like who? the guy in FL? oh wait he wasnt a pedophile b/c he didnt touch anyone... he sent some email he shouldnt have so they kicked him the frick out.. what do you want them to do shoot him? Kerry knew what he was saying.. he implied that military ppl are dumber then the average american... which you my friend have proven wrong
Then why did Kerry say "I apologize to no one"the next day.Why not start by saying that he was sorry to the troops then explain that he was misunderstood?Then he could bash Pres Bush all he wanted.Because he is so antimilitary that he can't understand a soldiers feelings could be hurt by what he said.And he doesnt care
pogue972 apparently deleted my last comment, but I'll make an attempt at responding: why should he apologize when he didn't insult the troops? And from what I've heard, Kerry (or his camp) did actually explain what he'd been saying. Naturally, the media's not covering THAT part.
He should apologize for THE MISUNDERSTANDING if there was one. It is common courtesy. The troops were confused by the whole thing and he could have cleared it right up. His camp should not have explained HE SHOULD HAVE. I'm referring to his 1st press conference the next day. Get it?
As opposed to what, Republicans? Republicans who repeatedly voted against body armor and troop benefits? Republicans who keep letting our troops be killed and maimed rather than admit they fucked up? Republicans who grovel to communists when they hold our pilots hostage, demanding an apology for an accident they obviously caused? Yeah, you guys always forget about that one. FOAD.
He was in an anti war area, there was no misquote. He meant to say exactly what he said, there was no Bush insinuation. He is trying to cover himself now with a laughable story.
A Kerry spokeswoman, Amy Brundage, said Kerry's prepared text had called for him to say: "Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."
Wake up. The us govt is nothing more than a cabal of criminals. Justice is something they drill into your proletariat mind to scare you into obeying their bullshit laws.
I don't have to thank a vet for shit. I am free because I behave according to my own ideas and feelings. People like you are nothing but lowbrow morons.
I can promise you that YOU don't have the balls to say that to any service members face, NO MORE, NO LESS you pathetic ass loser! Move to France shithead!
How the hell has Ahnold lived in America for 30 some odd years and not lost a SHREAD of his accent??? And yet, Madonna spends one year in England and is a full fledged Brit??
This is Kerry describing President Bush's lack of intelligence and therefore poor decision making skills which lead us to the War in Iraq. This is not a smear of our troops and should not be interpreted in that way. Taken out of context and with poor judgement some have viewed it in that way. Let me type it again. This IS about Bush and his lack of intelligence and NOT our troops.
You can try and spin this any way you want. No other way to take it other than the troops are to stupid to do anything else than fight in a war. Kerry is sad and honestly useless in government.
Well then LetoThree, why don't you just post the full quote for us all since you're so smart? Face it, you're sticking up for a treasonous piece of crap, you liberal retard!
It's great to be here with college students. I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush.
I'm glad to be here with you. I really am. Thank you for the privilege of coming here. We're here to talk about education, but I want to say something before that - you know, education, if you make the most of it, and you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq.
No amount of linguistic gymnastics or parenthetical insertions will change his words. According to the Dept of Defense, the army has a high school diploma rate that exceeds the general average.
Kerry was refering to how Pres. Bush didn't make enough of his education, and as a result we are now in Iraq. He is NOT belittling troops, he IS belittling the president.
Why are you defending him? He should apologize for accidentally offending the troops then. If it was an honest mistake, a simple apology would difuse it.
PS - GWB got better grades than Kerry... who managed 4 D's his freshman year at Yale. Wow, impressive.
Exactly... and THIS is not the Entire Speech so the Freeper Jackasses need to get the background straight before they drown us all with their sunshine patrotic froth.
Kerry, DON"T RUN I saw a piece that said Kerry is related to Bush they were brothers in shull and bones! Baraka Obama Needs to run for governer aor be VP first. same for Edwards Hillary I don't think so... so who!
that last Angelides line doesn't make sense.

Actually if you have ever talked to anyone in the military you would find out that they are actually very smart.
- All officers have already gone to college.

- All submariners must go through the Navy's Nuclear Power Program, a veritable equivalent of a college education in nuclear power.

The quote is clear. Kerry insulted American soldiers in Iraq. Whether he meant to or not may be questioned, but it's nonsense to say it was out of context: he said what he said.
mlv123 5 years ago
Yeah, OK, I'm SURE he means exactly what he's saying. HEY RETARDS, Kerry is a veteran. If there's one thing veterans don't do, it's disrespect soldiers. Get a real problem, a-holes.

Kerry did not want to go to Vietnam in the first place. He wanted to continue his studies abroad. However the judge would not let him. Oh, and lets not forget the antiwar book that he wrote shortly after his tour of duty.

"When he approached his draft board for permission to study for a year in Paris, the draft board refused and Kerry decided to enlist in the Navy.[8] Kerry served as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1970. His second tour of duty in Vietnam was four months as commanding officer of a Swift boat. Kerry was awarded several medals during this tour, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts."

The full quote makes Kerry look even more stupid! The more Democrats talk, the dumber they look. No wonder Bush keeps outsmarting them!
rick19611 5 years ago
This is not the Full QUOTE... I am no fan of Kerry, the fellow Skull of Bush, However all of you people trying to say that he is talking about the troops when he is clearly not, to anyone who actually heard the WHOLE speech and can comprehend more then 10 seconds of speech in a row can simply see that it was about Bush... Not the Troops...

Many democrats believe service and intelligence are opposed as you will see by the comments here. Kerry just had the balls to say what most of them think. It wasnt about Bush cus Kerry's gradepoint was just below W's. Jokes are funny, but leave them to Carlos Mencia cus this isnt funny coming from one we ALMOST elected pres and commander in chief.

He is referring to the quality fo GW's education not being too good and that leading us into Iraq, not knowing about the due to his low quality frat party education. You know what I'm saying? This was one of a series of cracks about GW which was taken out of context by the Republicans and the media, and the Repub's have capitalized on it, and unfortunately John K apologized for and didn't see the need to explain.

Kerry was just being a typical commie-loving liberal when he made that insult about our troops. I don't want to hear that he meant for it was a joke that has gone bad. Our troops are serving over in Iraq and elsewhere because of patriotism, not because they are stupid.
Kerry is a traitor!

umm how is he making fun of bush? That is complete bull. I don't believe Kerry hates the troops at all or thinks their stupid but the words did come out of his mouth and covering it up by trying to make it look like it was really meant to be a jab at bush just makes him look worse

This isn't the full context. Check it out on mediamatters.org. His prepared statement was supposed to be "Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq. Just ask President Bush."
jlockard 5 years ago
They can say that's what he meant to say but the prepared statement was not given out beforehand so that supposed prepared statement that was supposed to be what he meant to say means very little. And you absolutely know that if President Bush said something anywhere close to that the democrats would have tore him down.
hockeyiz 5 years ago
Remember "Mission Accomplished?" They were celebrating the capture of Saddam Hussein. That was the mission. It didn't mean the war had been solved and Bush never said it was. And yet the media went crazy. So the current situation is completely fair.
hockeyiz 5 years ago
I remember it. Do you? It happened weeks before Saddam Hussein was captured. And it's good to know you believe that makes everything fair. What about when Bush personally made fun of the fact that there were no WMDs in Iraq? How many U.S. soldiers had died already at that point? I know which politician I'd be more upset with if I'd lost family in Iraq, and it's not Kerry.

What's wrong with Socialism and Communism? Do you even know what those words mean? Kerry's comment was honest, as you said. Many people believe that way; that the impoverished and undereducated are the first to sign up for war. But it wasn't all inclusive, he didn't say that educated people didn't also sign-up. They just have more choices.

Then why did Kerry say "I apologize to no one"the next day.Why not start by saying that he was sorry to the troops then explain that he was misunderstood?Then he could bash Pres Bush all he wanted.Because he is so antimilitary that he can't understand a soldiers feelings could be hurt by what he said.And he doesnt care
lgrrpp 5 years ago
pogue972 apparently deleted my last comment, but I'll make an attempt at responding: why should he apologize when he didn't insult the troops? And from what I've heard, Kerry (or his camp) did actually explain what he'd been saying. Naturally, the media's not covering THAT part.
hanncoll 5 years ago
He should apologize for THE MISUNDERSTANDING if there was one. It is common courtesy. The troops were confused by the whole thing and he could have cleared it right up. His camp should not have explained HE SHOULD HAVE. I'm referring to his 1st press conference the next day. Get it?

This is Kerry describing President Bush's lack of intelligence and therefore poor decision making skills which lead us to the War in Iraq. This is not a smear of our troops and should not be interpreted in that way. Taken out of context and with poor judgement some have viewed it in that way. Let me type it again. This IS about Bush and his lack of intelligence and NOT our troops.
