Its OK for Kerry to curse during interviews, just dont get angry like Dean

[ecstatic]

CNN says that Dean's favorability rating went down after his "angry" speech. But Kerry's favorability went up after he cursed during a major interview. What gives?

[Guaranteed]

1. Very good point.

:)

2. Does "YEEEARRRGHH" mean anything to you? (nt)

6. When Kerry told Rolling Stone "Bush fucked it up"

I knew what that meant.

18. Cursing is offensive to me

Actually, its not. But I would think that cursing would be more offensive to uptight individuals than anger.

[Snivi Yllom]

21. i think the cursing is worse

Cursing just cheapens your words.

3. The pubs don't want Dean to win. They don't care about Kerry.

[TLM]

13. Exactly, Kerry is so wooden and boring, he makes Gore look like

a 2 live crew concert.


They are attacking the only exciting and motivating guy running because he's doing what they can;t and they do not like that.


Dean is a threat to all the DC insiders. Dean represents a change, both in getting new voters excited, and gettingthe power out of the hands of the insiders and special interests, and giving it back to the people.

Kerry, Bush, Clark, and Lieberman can all agree that's a bad thing. Edwards could go either way I think, because he's new to this system and isn't much of a DC insider.

14. Get real!

Rove cancelled his vacations for the rest of the year after Dean's concession speech.

[TLM]

4. WHat gives is that Dean is not a DC insider...

and the DC insiders have a nice little system set up to favor them.


Kerry could come out and take a dump on stage and the media would somehow spin it into and attack on Dean.

Because Dean is the only guy running who represents a serious change and upset to the current status quo in DC.

24. Yeah, right! Sharpton and DK are status quo candidates

Up is down!

5. life is so unfair

[neverforget]

27. LOL!

8. Kerry Kerry Kerry n/t

[JI7]

9. is kerry is a sinner ?

?

[adadem]

10. Kerry was in control of himself

when he swore.

[ecstatic]

19. he was?

What about the children?

[emulatorloo]

29. Sorry, Children wouldn't be caught dead

reading Rolling Stone.

[paulk]

11. are you serious?

How are the two related? Smears like this hurt your credibility, not Kerrys'.

[meegbear]

12. The medium ...

Kerry said it during an interview with a magazine. A magazine that will print swears if the interviewee says them. But all you have is the text.

Dean did it on national television. You can hear his voice, see his face and see his body movements. These can be interpreted as a lot of things to a lot of people.

[Uzybone]

15. Cursing behind closed doors doesnt hurt

shit Bush cussed on a campaign stage and it didnt hurt him. Stop crying about Deans mistakes.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

16. What gives? It's called 'politics' - Kerry just does it better than Dean

[Democrats unite]

17. It's called delivery...

Some people got it & some people don't!

[boxster]

20. There's a huge difference between a Rolling Stone interview and....

a post-caucus speech, especially one seen by the national public.

[lurk_no_more]

22. Almost everyone curses at some point in their life

few "YEEEARRRGHH"


And then there were none!
” JAFO”

[RobinA]

23. Fair or Not

Dean has this tendency to look like a mad dog when he gets "mad." That's the problem with this recent speech. He looked like he was about to bite somebody on the leg.

John fucking Kerry for President! lol

[candy331]

28. The people in the South are Bible toting folks

and they don't go for Northerners cursing in public down here. Sure hope all those tapes are destroyed so no one gets their hands on them to play.Would not be too good.

30. No One Cares About a Little "Salty Language" From a Soldier

Or ex-soldier.

DTH

[killbotfactory]

31. Dean's "Hitleresque" even when he smiles.

Of course, he's not as evil as hitler.

Smiling is a sign of anger.
