Bar the lowlife SOB from coming back to the USA. If he does, hang him!!!!!

Err was not Kyoto the fault of DEMOCRAT Bill Clinton and the then Senate who refused to ratify it rather than Bush and has not Bush sent more aid for AIDS than the Democrats ever did? So... not only a hypocrite but an ill-informed buffoon too! Does he not pay his staff enough to get them to stop him inserting foot in mouth before engaging brain?

Kim, I believe you misquoted him. He didn't mean "US", he meant "us" meaning he and Teresa are pariahs because his fellow Dems think he is bad karma having lost what they felt was an easy election victory to Bush.

He's just the only Democarat lacking the political accumen to cloak his opinions about America's place in the world in the context of "what's best for America." Baffling, really. You'd think after twenty plus years under the wing of Ted Kennedy he'd have figured it out.

Of course, he's from the rapidly depopulating state of Massachusetts so he's insulated from having to learn.

As most around here know I'm no fan of the Democrat Party's clown jester John Kerry -- but everything you quoted Kerry saying is the truth, Kim.

George Bush lied to the American people and to the world, repeatedly. You're apparently okay with that -- but the fact the John Kerry is telling the truth has you upset? It is long past due. It's necessary. It's needed, It's time for America to admit our mistakes and repair our relations with our allies. If Bush would do it, then others wouldn't need to.

The world leadership vacuum in Washington won't be permanently filled by the likes of John Kerry, I'll help see to that -- but if the Republican administration continues to refuse to stand up for America and stand up for the truth, then don't complain when other Americans step up to fill that void.

"Is John Kerry even capable of speaking positively about his own country?"

Speaking the truth about Kyoto, about AIDS in Africa, about the horrific mess created Bush in the Middle East --- that IS speaking up for America -- by speaking the truth.

The truth, and doing what's right, are qualities and attributes that used to exemplify our country's position in the world. It's time we as a nation spoke the truth and did the right thing again.

...,we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.

Listen up people, this guy know duplicity and hypocrisy.

You'd think that a guy who voted against the Kyoto Protocol S 98 Senate Roll Call would at least admit his part in the "walk away".

Here is what the world sees of America, thanks to a Republican administration's desperate attempts to hide the truth:

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney exerted "constant" pressure on the Republican former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee to stall an investigation into the Bush administration's use of flawed intelligence on Iraq, the panel's Democratic chairman charged Thursday.

In an interview with McClatchy Newspapers, Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia also accused President Bush of running an illegal program by ordering eavesdropping on Americans' international e-mails and telephone communications without court-issued warrants.

In the 45-minute interview, Rockefeller said that it was "not hearsay" that Cheney, a leading proponent of invading Iraq, pushed Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., to drag out the probe of the administration's use of prewar intelligence.

"It was just constant," Rockefeller said of Cheney's alleged interference. He added that he knew that the vice president attended regular policy meetings in which he conveyed White House directions to Republican staffers.

"It was just constant." The Vice-President of the United States, desperate and determined to stop the truth from emerging over our pre-Iraq intelligence.

God bless John Kerry for standing up for America.

-- but everything you quoted Kerry saying is the truth, Kim.

...except for the AIDS thing, of course. The US government's tilt on AIDS in Africa seems to be the one that's working best (and is much, much better funded than everyone else's put together).

...and the Kyoto thing, too, since the whole point of walking away from Kyoto was to avoid crippling our economy with measures that WON'T WORK for doing what Kyoto is aimed at doing (even with full implementation by all countries involved, Kyoto would push back global warming by a massive SIX YEARS over the next century (and that's by their own very optimistic predictions)).

Now, if he's only talking about hypocrisy among the Dems, he's sure got a point, since they preach about things like Kyoto after a long plane flight (chartered, which burned more fuel than I use in a year, total), or alternate energy (after letting one of their own kill a big wind power initiative because it would screw up his leisure area's view).

Here is what the world sees of America, thanks to a Republican administration's desperate attempts to hide the truth:

You mean "thanks to a heavily slanted international news media, quoting a DEMOCRAT SENATOR, with unsubstantiated comments."

Funny how all of these "anti-American" moves by the Republicans seem to exist only in the quotes of Democrats.

Who hates America more, Hanoi John or peanuthead jimmy?

John supported North Nam, Jimmy supports Palestinians. Im sure their mothers would be proud.

I pity the poor wizzies here. Lost an election, president is an isolated moron, their pet causes are being futher marginalized by the public, Iraq war going to hell, and yet all you can do is complain about Kerry and Edwards. Priceless in it's pathetic nature, but kind of funny too.

You really don't wear defeat well, do you?

Yes, Kim, he is that stupid.

Its amazing that a national pariah, John 'Halp us' Kerry has the balls to accuse the US of being an "international pariah" on 'facts' that he hasn't vetted with reality.
He's a maroon, much like Howard Dean, when both see fit to shoot from the lip before consulting the truth.

Does he understand that his words are giving comfort to our enemies because he's echoing their view of us

Europe is our enemy? Scandinavia is our enemy? Japan is our enemy? Because that's whose opinions he's describing.

Lee, if George Bush lied to the country, wasn't Kerry lying to the country as well, when he said the same thing about Iraq? And wasn't Hillary lying too? And Dean?

When they all say the same thing about Iraq being a serious threat, and about Iraq having WMDs, and that we need to solve the problem sooner rather than later, why is it only George Bush that was lying?

Now we know what old "pucker puss" (lee lee) (resident turd polisher) really is--a lowlife America hating traitorus SOB piece of pig shit.

He also criticized the Bush administrations by saying that it too often looks at the rest of the world through an American lens. President Bush is obligated to protect this country, its citizens and its interests from those who want to do us harm, so through whose lens does Senator Kerry recommend President Bush see the world?

You are simply validating the idea that we value isolationism.

I don't know what your day job is, but when you're working, through whose eyes do you view your responsibilities? Just yours alone? Do you consider the success of your co-workers? Your company? Is anyone ever successful when they look out for no one but themselves?

Well, I imagine you conservatives are quite proud of yourselves: your goal has been to make the United States of America an international pariah, and, at least according to John Kerry, you have succeeded. And polls of those living in far-off lands provide additional confirmation that you have succeeded.

Kim asks, "Whose lens does Senator Kerry recommend President Bush see the world?" Not surprising that a conservative would ask such a question, having little or no understanding and desire for diplomacy. Uh, Kim, what John Kerry is recommending is that when you deal with them "furreners," you try to place yourself "in their shoes," so to speak. But of course, your capacity to do this is limited, empathy never being one of conservatives' strong abilities.

Europe is our enemy? Scandinavia is our enemy? Japan is our enemy? Because that's whose opinions he's describing.

...while sitting next to and shaking hands with one of the most powerful Ayatollahs in Iran...

Kinda funny how you guys keep missing that.

When someone objects to certain policies, that means he hates America?! Get a grip!

Maybe you are okay with, say, secret CIA prisons, torture of suspected enemies, etc. Fine. But you're just being absurd conclude that objections to policies means hating America.

I understand and appreciate that you disagree with what Kerry is saying. But, honestly, nearly 70% want us out of Iraq. Do 70% of Americans hate America?

Relax. Fight for your point of view. Criticize Kerry. But don't freak out! It's America where we have free speech and voice our viewpoints. Not a big problem...In fact, something to be proud of!

He's a maroon, much like Howard Dean,

Ha ha ha, yea, everyone made fun of Dean but guess what? His 50 state strategy kicked the crap out of the GOP and sent them packing. Who looks stupid now?

Publicus, you have to understand who you're dealing with here at wizbang. These people aren't moderates, they are the far fringe of the right wing. The authoritarian types who believe anything their enabled blowhards (limbagh, hannity, et al) say. They don't question authority, they worship it.

Of course these are the same people who decried anyone a traitor who didn't go along with Dear Leaders Glorious Forward plan to bring Wal Mart to the Middle East. Now the time has passed and it's painfully apparent to anyone with a brain that Iraq is a disaster, but the wizzies are in 'blame anyone but Bush' mode.

if George Bush lied to the country, wasn't Kerry lying to the country as well, when he said the same thing about Iraq? And wasn't Hillary lying too?

There's no doubt that members from both sides were wrong in 2003. The difference is that some came to realize that and tried to fix what they broke, while others started manufacturing evidence to desperately convince the country they were right from the start.

And Dean?

Please explain what Dean was wrong or lying about.

...while sitting next to and shaking hands with one of the most powerful Ayatollahs in Iran...

Like Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam?

Kinda funny how you guys keep missing that.

Jaku--

Thanks for your input. I know, of course, that this is a right wing blog. But I'm here because I think that many of the people are smart and sincere. I disagree with them, but I also respect them...Of course some are, as you say, over the edge and not reasonable. But that's true everywhere...

Anyway, I'm not going to spend too much time on this. I just want those who have more flexible minds to know that us liberals don't hate America. Yeah, some will realize this, and some won't...but at least they've heard it.

Lee, I am sure you are intelligent enough to realize guys like Kerry get invited to these "conferences" for one reason only. He is assured to simply parrot the desired message and there is no chance he could offer anything remotely creative or intellectually challenging. Meaning he is being used. This man has been living off of a Republican fortune for a while now. He would have a hard time funding his own livelihood at the level he feels he is entitled on a Senator's salary. I am convinced he would wear out his welcome at any respectable think tank in a short time. Please don't give him more credit than he deserves simply because by random chance his views happen to align with yours.

John Kerry is encouraging the terrorists?

Do you just cut and paste this?

"Ask Not,what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country"
John F Kennedy

"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."
John F. Kerry

And yet Massholes keep electing this IDIOT to office.

HEY JOHN KERRY AMERICA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT there is no global warming only the HOT AIR from irresponsible politicians

John Kerry is encouraging the terrorists?

I really hope no one here is that stupid to believe a sitting US Senator would be actively encouraging our enemies. Deep down, they know it's not true but they let their unfiltered hatred and rage flow unrestricted because he said something they didn't agree with.

You know who encouraged the terrorists? L Paul Bremer, idiot viceroy Bush puppet who disbanded the Iraqi Army, then fired them all. Nothing like pissing off 300000 people with military training and access to weapons on their home field.

You know who else encouraged the terrorists? Why, our very own George W Bush, trying to sound tough and manly when he uttered that phrase "Bring em on" when asked about potential attacks on US troops.

Remember that one, wizzies? The goddamn president basically invited our enemies to shoot and bomb our soldiers, and he thought he was so cool when he said that. So did the average Bush follower.

So much for redneck, I mean cowboy diplomacy.

It wasn't a bullet, it was an atomic bomb.

If you believe your position in your first quote, you should believe our position on the war.

Oh you lefties. Only for me, but not for thee.

This is how they all feel. I'm so glad he got caught being totally himself. This was the democrats CHOICE for president, folks. Always remember that.
