I think I just started an e-mail war at the Phone Company
My response is first. YES, I hit reply all...:evilgrin:

Subject: RE: So this is the guy the left has picked as their candidate...just a few quotes


These sound like a big pile of steaming...something! Got any dates and sources for any of these fake Kerry quotes (whoever made this up)? Now, here's some REAL quotes from our Idiot in Chief, whom right wingers worship as the second coming, because he's "a nice, Christian man"...

"I told all four congressmen that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'm the dictator."-George W. Bush. Newsday 12-18-00

"...I'm the commander-see, I don't need to explain-I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being President. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explaination."-George W Bush to Bob Woodward 'A course of 'Confident Action'; Washington Post. 11-19-02.

"When I say I'm not answering questions, it means I'm not going to answer questions. But thank you for askiing...I'd hate to stick this Titelist between your eyes." -GWB, brandishing a golf club, warning a photographer to get out of his way. 5-12-03

Chimpy-"There's Adam Clymer, major-league asshole from the New York Times"
His puppeteer; Dick Cheney-"Oh, yeah, he is, big time" -Houston Chronicle, 9-5-00

"I regret that 'asshole' remark made it into the public airwaves. I was making a comment to Vice-President Dick Cheney, I didn't obviously realize the mikes were gonna pick it up. I regret that everybody heard what I said" GWB; to the press... BEFORE Dick Cheney became Vice President.

NBC correspondent David Gregory: "I wonder why it is you think there are such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration? Et vous Monsieur le President Chirac, qu'en pensez-vous?"
GWB: "Very good. The guy memeorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental."
Gregory: "I can go on"
GWB: "I'm impressed-que bueno. Now I'm literate in two languages"
...In Paris at a joint press conference with the French President Chirac. Daily Telegraph 5-31-02.

..."First, let me make it very clear, poor people aren't necessarily killers. Just because you happen to not be rich doesn't mean you're willing to kill." -GWB, asked in the Phillipines if terrorism in that country was caused by poverty. AP 5-19-03

Tucker Carlson: "Did you meet with any of them ?"
GWB: "No, I didn't meet with any of them. I didn't meet with Larry King either when he came down for it (the interview). I watched his interview with her though. He asked he real difficult questions, like 'What would you say to Governor Bush?' "
Carlson: "What was her answer?"
GWB: "Please < whimpering, lips pressed together in mock desperation>, don't kill me." -Tucker Carlson 'Devil May Care', Talk Magazine 9-99.

And one last one from "that nice, Christain man" Dick Cheney, just last Friday 6-25-04...
"Go fuck yourself!" ...to Sen. Patrick Lehey on the Seante Floor...on the very day they passed the "Broadcast decency act" that increased fines for profanity in the broadcast media.


Have a nice day!

{Touchdown}

4. Oh' my god. This is really old then.
They attributed these quotes to Gore in 2000, according to Snopes. That's what's so insidius about these guys, they recycle lies, when the rest of us aren't paying attention.

At least my quotes are true!

7. I knew I saw them years ago
Funny how you can give them Bush quotes with dates.

I used to have the list of the 13 or more times when Bush used the "trifecta" joke. Complete with locations. Used to be able to pick them up at www.whitehouse.gov, but, for some reason, they seem to have blocked that lookup . . .

3. I don't recognize any of those Kerry quotes
Trying to say "don't vote for Kerry, he said dumb stuff" when the current president has numerous books, TV appearances and articles listing all the dumb crap he has said shows all the brilliance that got that idiot elected in the first place. Nice job, freepers.

8. You could've picked a lot better Bush quotes.
However, none of those quotes are Kerry quotes. Personally, I'd call the asshole who sent the original a liar and do a 'reply all' on that.

11. Wait... I recognize many of those "Kerry quotes" as Bushisms!
Seriously. I know that I've seen a bunch of them before, and I'll be damned if they weren't said by George W!

So, I guess whoever sent you this is not only an ignorant jackass, but they're so ignorant that they actually took things that THEIR doofus said and tried to assign them to Kerry.

What a moran!

20. My God, the lies these people will heap out!!
Every one of those quotes from their own asshole leader or Quayle! EVERY ONE OF THEM! And miost of 'em are ToiletBrain's.

What an incredbile intelligent propaganda spin - now a shitload of people will attribute those quotes to Kerry, so that in the future, whenever someone tries to say how dumb Shrub is, they can't use these quotes.

"Duh, no, everyone knows that Kerry, not Shrub, said that."

28. Definitely, if you haven't done so, "reply all" to the old email with the
info that the quotes are from REPUBS with the snopes link. If you don't want to do it, send me the email with the addresses and I'll do it...

stating that not a single one of the Kerry quotes were from Kerry, but were from Quayle or Bush?

27. Uh the "Kerry quotes" are from Chimpy, Raygun and other repugs.
I recognize almost all of them. It's either a bad joke or some asshole's braindead bloviating.
