7. Kerry, Hagel and Biden were the only ones, to my knowledge in Pakistan.

MSNBC has a Breaking banner mentioning only them, no Dodd.

15. They're fine. But did you see Biden sitting in the big boy seat in the video?

Looked good, like he belonged there. And Kerry. I like the sight of seeing those two meet with international leaders!

20. /sigh I was curious to see what the FReeper response to this would be

Figuring that a near-tragedy involving one of their own (although they call him a RINO regularly) would evoke at least some sympathy, but guess what's on the first page of their thread?

Several "How soon til Kerry asks for a purple heart?" posts.

:eyes:

They are so twisted with hate I don't even really consider conservatives to be human anymore.

[beachmom]

25. Freeperville is really the fringe fringe Right. Mainstream conservatives

aren't THAT bad (well, usually. well, hopefully).

[TwilightGardener]

26. I went over there too. It was pretty sickening--even for Freepers.

They scrubbed the "I wish it had crashed" comments pretty quick, gotta hand it to the mods.

[blm]

27. Idiots haven't the historic IQ to realize this nation would be in its 10th year of full-on-fascism

by now if it hadn't been for Kerry uncovering and exposing the government corruption, and the GLOBAL corruption of IranContra and BCCI.

The Bushes have been traitors to this country and democracy for generations. Kerry is one of the FEW heroes who has been able to thwart their progress.

[Independent-Voter]

23. Glad they're OK.

24. Be safe guys - we need you!
