Heh... Kerry dissed by Marines...

[BuckNaked]

July 31, 2004 -- SCRANTON, Pa. ? John Kerry's heavily hyped cross-country bus tour stumbled out of the blocks yesterday, as a group of Marines publicly dissed the Vietnam War hero in the middle of a crowded restaurant.

Kerry was treating running mate Sen. John Edwards and his wife, Elizabeth, to a Wendy's lunch in Newburgh, N.Y., for their 27th wedding anniversary ? an Edwards family tradition ? when the candidate approached four Marines and asked them questions.

The Marines ? two in uniform and two off-duty ? were polite but curt while chatting with Kerry, answering most of his questions with a "yes, sir" or "no, sir."

But they turned downright nasty after the Massachusetts senator thanked them "for their service" and left.

"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one Marine said, adding, "I'm 100 percent against [him]."

A sergeant with 10 years of service under his belt said, "I speak for all of us. We think that we are doing the right thing in Iraq," before saying he is to be deployed there in a few weeks and is "eager" to go and serve.

The Marines ? all of whom serve at nearby Stewart Air Force Base ? wouldn't give their names.



It wasn't an auspicious start to the senators' "Believe in America" bus tour ? a 22-state, 43-city tour that will cover roughly 3,500 miles over 15 days in an effort to carry some of their momentum out of the Democratic convention.

But the rest of Day One went smoothly, as massive crowds ? including what Kerry said were up to 20,000 in Harrisburg, Pa., ? greeted him, Edwards, their families and Ben Affleck at the tour-kickoff event in Boston and at two stops in the Keystone state.

"Ninety-seven days [left in the campaign]; let's make it happen," Kerry told hundreds of bleary-eyed but upbeat supporters who showed up at a 7:30 a.m. rally on the shores of Boston Harbor ? less than nine hours after Kerry finished his acceptance speech.

Kerry also employed Paul Revere's famed midnight run and imagery of Bunker Hill to bash President Bush over U.S. intelligence failures.

"These are the places where people dared to stand up and put their lives on the line ? to take a risk ? for something they believed in very deeply," Kerry said of the Boston neighborhood where he was speaking.

"One if by land, two if by sea, and the message was right. Come to think of it, they had better intelligence than we do today about what's going on," Kerry continued, drawing the loudest applause of the event.

In Harrisburg, Kerry noted that there was more bad news coming out of the financial markets yesterday, with oil prices reaching new highs and economic growth limping along at three percent.

"Imposed" on them? They must not teach Marines basic customs and courtesies anymore like we did in my Army days. Hell, they must not teach them basic manners either. When a citizen comes over and wants to shake your hand and thank you for your service, you act polite and don't mock them when they're gone. You're a representative of your government and thanks from citizens aren't nuisances, even when you disagree with them politically. If they didn't want to be bothered they could have just worn civvies out to the restaurant and been anonymous.

I agree 100%.

With all due respect, I've never heard of a Marine being a Chicken Sh1t till now, WTF is up with that???? 😕

Don't mind them. They will never believe anything, no matter where it comes from, if it makes Kerry look bad. That is just the way they are. Sad, really.

Not really, as I have only posted in P&N only a couple of times... I seem to have gotten some kind of reputation that I wasn't aware of...

LOL, you think i care if it has to do with Bush or Kerry? I'm not even American. The point, for all you people who didn't get it was that there is no good point to this story, just like the fivehundred other stories that go nowhere about Bush or Kerry.

"Bush picks his nose at meeting" "Kerry scratches chest at meeting" both equally uninteresting and as important as this thread, who cares?

I never said you cared, I wasn't talking to you personally. Don't preach to me, what I said is true.

 

[BuckNaked]

I don't take sides with Kerry or Bush.. I personally think they both suck... I can't believe these are the only two choices we have...

I do find it amusing that Kerry tried to use 4 members of the armed services as his only little photo oppourtunity and it flopped... thats my only agenda here...

Not a reputation really. More like a 'following'. Imagine ... George Castanza actually posting on AT. 🙂

You mean my "liberate Ozoned" bonanza? Well, son, hate to tell you but nobody wanted to contribute, perhaps you are right and the world DOES hate you. Well, sorry anyway, i did what i could.

I wonder who gave them the impression, that Kerry isn't behind the soldiers?

If you ever grow old enough you'll regret that statement, at this point, you aren't big enough for me to spank, but one day.

It's not YOU i have a problem with, it's the SMELL.

LMAO!

 

[Hossenfeffer]

It's my opinion that you can be behind the soldiers but not behind the administration.
