Unlike the President, unlike the Vice President, unlike numerous members of Congress. <br /><br />Also, he was not speaking to "school children". He was addressing a college audience, who generally have a great deal of depth and political savvy (or at least think they do) , and would probably resent you referring to them as children as much as you resent Kerry for his remarks. As for his contempt of the military, how about the administrations thinly veiled contempt for anyone who opposes them(see: brownshirt goons employed by George Allen throw blogger against window......<br /><br />yup, it is getting ugly as it gets down to the wire, but so far, the party in power retains the title for ugly attacks.

However, the comments (although meant in a sarcastic manner) were addressed to the gathered school children.<br /><br />To me this underscores Kerry's inherent contempt for our military, colored by his own experiences in Vietnam and afterwards. He has, in the past, also displayed this opinion - only it was not in such a highly charged arena.<br /><br />I find his comments in keeping with his character - he is an internationalist at heart - and although poorly delivered, I do not believe it was the gaffe he claims. <br /><br />This is further underscored by his responses and utter lack of sensitivity to the impact of his comment.<br /><br />Even Bill O'Reilly is giving Kerry the benefit of the doubt, and certainly Hillary is smiling broadly.Citizen Deuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18425085335850663316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-1415907357135078632006-11-01T12:02:00.000-05:002006-11-01T12:02:00.000-05:00Even John Derbyshire recognizes that it was a poor...Even John Derbyshire recognizes that it was a poorly delivered joke that was supposed to reference Bush, and not the troops. Or has he said, "there is far too much fake outrage over this." We are getting the one sound bite, not the setup, which makes it clear he was referring to Bush. Sure, we can vilify for being stupid (which, in retrospect, it probably is), but we also need to realize that he is no David Letterman. <br /><br />Should this one badly delivered, not well thought out comment cause even one person to switch their vote from Dem to Republican, it is that person I worry about....there are more important issues out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19635991.post-24439387733146364782006-11-01T10:39:00.000-05:002006-11-01T10:39:00.000-05:00BA and MA (History) from U of IL, JD from Northern...BA and MA (History) from U of IL, JD from Northern IL.
