John Kerry: Bush a Criminal, Looting Country

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blasted President Bush on Thursday as a "criminal" who has been "looting the country."

<snip>

According to the Web site L.A. Observed, Kerry asked the bloggers to keep his comments confidential; a request they apparently dismissed out of hand without telling him.


Blogger "Hollywood Liberal" reports that Kerry "agreed completely with someone's assessment that everything that Bush does is solely for the purpose of looting the country."

For what it's worth.......

much to expect from Newsmax, huh?

Emphasis on little.

.

fuck newsmax and their bowing to a failed administration

That sack-less bastard wouldn't defend himself from the swift boat creeps and failed to raise hell over Ohio.

And it may have taken him two weeks, but he sure did defend himself. As he is also defending himself now.

Meanwhile, as a former prosecutor and a deliberate man, I didn't expect him to "raise hell" over Ohio. I do expect him to do what he can. He's been involved at least one lawsuit I know of, though I think the judge may have dismissed that one, and he's spoken about it, though he often gets flamed when he does as pandering. Dude can't win. Some want him out of the way. Some want him front and center.

I prefer front and center, myself.

Would YOU work to uncover IranContra for a year BY YOURSELF, with no other Democrat supporting you?

Would YOU work to expose BCCI doggedly for FIVE YEARS and against an entire DC powersturcture trying to make you stop?

Would YOU even run against the most protected by the media president in history?

master literacy. Then please use those skills to actually learn something about Kerry, other members of government, and the world. Then congratulate your parents for raising such a dipshit for me.

Seriously. Mr. and Mrs. Vexatious Ape have some explaining to do.

and once again I ask 'Why did you not insist that my vote be counted in 2004?' Why did you take my campaign contribution and refuse to fight in Ohio? Why did you let America fall victim to the Bush thieves?

And after you learn to read, maybe you should start learning basic reasoning skills. 1 Senator + 2 hundred million lazy, clueless Americans + 6 "news" networks pledged only to smear said Senator and cover up vote fraud evidence + said Senator saying, as per your childish demands, "I wuz robbed!!" = 1 destroyed Democratic Party, 1 fascist regime still in charge of government (with infinite free publicity to continue to bolster their cause), 0 evidence of vote fraud (or anything else) and possibly 1 more "terrorist attack." It does NOT equal Peace, Clean Elections, Liberty and Justice for All, or any of the other one-dimensional concepts you seem to believe constitute effective leadership.

Elementary school. Remedial math. American history...no, the real history, not shit you read on Ralph Nader's blog. Then think for yourself. Maybe grow up somewhere along the way. Then, perhaps, if you can behave yourself, you can come back and converse with the big kids.

I smell a rat.

Say something outrageous and then ask the politician if he agrees. Then write the story as if it was the politician who made the statement.

when he thought the microphone was off.

But the person writing this thing appears to have added the word criminal after the fact.

You're right. An old trick. I do hate that,

I hope our candidate in 2008 is not afraid of speaking the truth.

What's bush approval in MASS? Like 17%?

here at DU because they were there, and none of them came to your conclusion that he is a wuss.

He's a wuss.

Him and all the other dems in leadership positions should be blasting him daily.....but they are too afraid. He's a wuss. In 2008 I want a real leader, not a focus-group tested, consultant approved automatron like Kerry.

He's an effete wimpy spineless vacilator. That's my observation.

You came to that conclusion because you've been influenced more by RW control of corporate media than you realize.

Thanks for looking inside my soul and telling me how I come to my conclusions. You psychic powers are impressive.

could say that Kerry is a focus grouped lawmaker.

He has advocated for more unpopular issues than any senator in modern history.

against BushInc more than Kerry has - and Kerry also did it most often AGAINST his own party's wishes.

And good luck with your search through the congressional records.

Wuss's use words only in front of friendly crowds - leaders take action.

As if Congress is full of courageous people.

Whatever.

The problem with Congress is it's full of wusses like Kerry who are so addicted to power that they never stick their neck out lest these loose "their precious" seat and have to work in the real world like the rest of us.

I WANT BOLD COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP.

battles against BushInc than John Kerry has and in a substantive way that effected this nation's historic record.

Mike Malloy
Randi Rhodes
Thom Hartman
Sam Seder
Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart
Russ Feingold
Paul Welstone
Molly Ivins
Jim Hightower

And Wellstone and Feingold and Hightower were all officeholders - use their records in office to show they took on more battles against BushInc than John Kerry did.

I challenge you to choose from even ONE of your names above and compare the list of their battles to Kerry's record or effected this nation's historic record in a SUBSTANTIVE way.

If this list is what you really think, then it kinda proves my point - you do not USE the actual congressional record to come to your conclusions - you are media fed.

You prefer words against BushInc to friendly audiences OVER real substantive actions against BushInc that have actually effected this nations' history.

I gave you them.

point. You elevate "words" to friendly audiences over real historic ACTIONS to define who a wuss is to you.

and effected this nation's history more substantively.

It's more about YOUR disregard for actual history - and I find THAT is a real problem for Democrats and the left. So, it is about you and all like you who elevate RHETORIC against BushInc OVER real ACTION against BushInc.

where a John Kerry is too afraid to go.

Show us the records of the battles they took on that effected this nation's history in a substantive way and put them up against the smaller actions in Kerry's record.

That should be easy enough for someone so certain.

Kerry's in substantively effecting this nation's history? Because I find it interesting that you use no record of theirs to back you up.

You don't like us much, but have we ever made claims that the historic record can't back up?

You want truthtellers - so do we.

And how do you KNOW someone is telling the truth? The actual historic record would be helpful in that regard.

for your point of view: The Free Republic.

If the shoe fits...

personal feeling cloud your judgment.

have actually EFFECTED this nation's history for the better.

You want people who use RHETORIC to friendly audiences and call them brave and you call someone who spent 7 years uncovering the most dangerous information and details of BushInc for the historic record a "wuss" - and we're supposed to take that seriously?

That's a big "if".

You normally get your political news from Newsmax?

Same dimwits who never seem to learn that fighting lies and smears means actually fighting the people who create the lies and smears, not the people being smeared.

"According to the Web site L.A. Observed, Kerry asked the bloggers to keep his comments confidential; "

Apparently he's afraid of some bad press..... the voters will reward people who bash Bush. He's at 29% approval for god's sake.

The bloggers at the meeting were told it was an informal off the record chat with Senator Kerry. They were asked to not take notes but there were no expectations that the bloggers would not write about meeting the Senator.

Nothing that Hollywood Liberal said in his intial post was a verbatim quote and the right wing has taken what HL said out of context.

The right wing rags are full of shit.

So what else is new.

journalistic trick in the book.

Say something outrageous, see if you can get the guy to agree with it, then infer something else from that outrageous statement.

He didn't say it. He was asked if he agreed with a statement. Then the word criminal was added later. And then the worst possible spin was put on it by our friendly neighborhood NewsMax. Maybe I'll go and find other juicy tidbits about our Democratic leaders off of that site. After all, if it's good for this story, they must be fair and balanced enough to use as a source all the damn time.

who wrote about the meeting right after it happened?

Did you even post on their threads or did you wait till newsmax spun it for you?

like a junkie trolling for a fix.

dp

And just what is IN the smack they're shooting lately? I've heard some of the most outrageous falsehoods ever about Kerry this week, and I thought I'd heard 'em all.

"According to the Web site L.A. Observed, Kerry asked the bloggers to keep his comments confidential; a request they apparently dismissed out of hand without telling him."


LMAO

Wait until it happens to an elected official you support, then see if you find it so fucking funny.

:mad:

If Kerry doesn't want bloggers to quote such comments he should carry a roll of duct tape in his pocket.

And for your information, I DID support Kerry, voting for him in the election. After which, he quickly duct taped his mouth shut and rode off into the sunset.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. That's the last time I vote for him.

That meeting was much more casual, and they were never told to keep quiet. That's a load of crap from newsmax freepers that you BOUGHT.
