Should Kerry apologize for his comments about the troops?

[Mr Sparkle]

why? he already apologized for misspeaking. you don't honestly believe he intended to slander all american soldiers, do you?

no, he wants desperately to believe that though.
because otherwise the sheer volume of his own idiocy would crush him.

It doesn't matter what was intended. It was what was received that counts.

 

[jaguarr]

Apokolips?

jag

Dammit!!! Why are Democrats such *****es? This is why the Republicans are allowed to enforce policies that **** everyone over but them and their rich *****ebag friends, because the Democrats won't say boo without backing down at the first sign of critisism.

Exactly. FDR had balls. Today's democrats are pushovers.

I wish Senator Paul Wellstone was still around.

That man had integrity.

really?

 

[War Lord]

really?

Absolutely.

and he's apologized for offending anyone. he obviously didn't intend it to come out the way it did. what more can he do than apologize? i don't see limbaugh apologizing to mjf?

 

[Ben Urich]

oh man, he'd totally cry!!!! that would awesome!!!!!

btw if I was in the military, a poorly planned war and lack of basic armor and **** like that would piss me off more than what some politician said.

but then that's just me.

cuz I have a brain.

I like you. A lot.

No you're wrong! Bush and Cheney LOVE the troops! :heart:

And Jesus too!

democrats are trying to show that they're accountable for their mistakes and will weed out anyone who tries to tarnish their party's image. while the republican party is bloated with power and can't control their own. i just wish the dems could come together and produce a meaningful and coherent message.

Gary Studd, Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, Alan Mollohan, Robert Byrd, William Jefferson, Alcee Hastings...on and on.

 

[cass]

i don't see limbaugh apologizing to mjf?

Because you're blind?

Limbaugh isn't running for office and it's Limbaugh's job to create controversy.

A politician is dependent upon not creating controversy, at least not for himself.

Like it or not, somethings that shouldn't stick does and things that should stick don't. That's the unpredictable nature of politics.

No one is responsible for how another person hears something.

 

[cass]

That man had integrity.

Agreed.

 

[War Lord]

Kinda like how we "intended" to bring freedom to Iraq, but they "received" death, destruction and civil war instead?

Maybe they deserve an apology.

A soldier's job is to go into death, destruction and civil war.

 

[Ben Urich]

"I'm sorry you are all idiots and totally misconstrued what I had to say. Mybad."

 

[Mr Sparkle]

Because you're blind?

you just don't learn

You know we're talking about John Kerry here, dont you?

so, because he's a democrat he's automatically a liar?

 

[sinewave]

Gary Studd, Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, Alan Mollohan, Robert Byrd, William Jefferson, Alcee Hastings...on and on.

Yeah, that's like Stephen Colbert apologizing to everyone who mispronounces his name "Cole-bert".

 

[War Lord]

No one is responsible for how another person hears something.

No, but we aren't talking about an average person. A seasoned politician like Kerry knows how seemingly innocent comments can take a life unto their own and have unintended consequences.

That much is his fault. He knows that most Americans appreciate their military and that making comments that can be interpreted to be degrading to the military is a no-go zone.

i've already asked you to provide a link to this apology. what are you trying to hide?

 

[blind_fury]

lol. cass is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
