John Kerry implies soldiers are all idiots.

In this case, assuming is only going to make one of us look like an ass.

Normally I'd agree with you. But this assumption was also a question.

Yes....Bush is a dumbass.

This was all a misunderstanding over a botched joke that pretty much shattered Kerry's chances of running in 08. Thanks George. Thanks for blowing things out of proportion.

....AGAIN.

What do the soldiers say about it?

Bunch of dumb-asses.

😛

Piss off. Unless you've served in the military as Kerry has, maybe you should tone down your criticism.

Soldiers were both upset and understanding that Kerry has speaking issues.

You talking to me or to the boys over there in Iraq who say Kerry's full of shit?

You.

If you think a couple soldiers is the military....we might need a new direction in Iraq....with more than 10 soldiers.

Isn't it a good thing that Kerry won't run in 08?

HOCKING LUGIES IN SOLDIERS' FACES: Decoding John Kerry's America-Hating Liberal Doublespeak

What John Kerry SAID:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t… um… you get stuck in Iraq!”

- John Forbes Kerry, October 30, 2006

What John Kerry MEANT:

[list][*]“You know, education, if you actually have it, you might be able to differentiate between a vicious insult-hurler and a patrician dork who’s so clutzy, he even trips over punchlines. If you don’t… um… you gullibly react with the phony knee-jerk rage you're being cynically spoonfed by incompetent bureaucrats who laugh while you’re marching to your deaths!”

[*]“You know, stupid, low-class, piss-ignorant soldiers, if you secretly hate their guts like I do, you waste over three decades of your life doing everything in your power to pro-actively prevent their deaths. If you don’t… um… you sneak down to Arlington cemetery after dark and pinch fat steamers on their graves!”

[*]“You know, today’s military, if you join it, 85% of you vote for George Bush, you get programmed to be mindless, order-taking zombies who COULDN’T WAIT to invade Iraq. If you don’t… um… you might be able to tell when you’re being fed propaganda that exploits the fact that while you act mega-macho, most of you really have egos as fragile as zitty high school girls!”[/list]

Here's a vid for a time like this 😄

He never really ran for office. I would have campaigned for anyone to get Bush out. Unfortunately, tha man was Kerry.

Does anyone have the full quote of what he said, or any other context than a 10 second sound bite?

So why in the **** are people making a deal over this? I'm still confused.

It's like "Mel Gibson says Jews caused all wars" or "Bush said 'Islamic fascists'"--people are just, well, being stupid in making an issue out of it.

Because certain people will take ANYTHING this election.

i can see people making a big deal out of what mel gibson said because he's a celebraty, and it really was outrageous. this incident is just stupid though, especially considering it's true. the army targets students who have no other options. most kids won't join the army if they cna go to college, especially now. i'm not saying our troops are stupid i'm saying that our government is taking advantage of those who aren't growing up in the best situation.

John Kerry's a damn good Senator 😬

That position is arguable, but note how Senator does not equal President.

Way to go Kerry! Apparently he tried to make a crack at Bush then made himself look stupid..again..

put out a joke at the wrong time..would sort of be like throwing out a steve irwin joke 2 days after his death..if soldiers were idiots..they would most likely be lazy thus they would not want to go to war..
