2. Do Chickenhawk Republicans owe John Kerry an apology?

Let me answer...

YES!

[TechBear_Seattle]

3. I fail to see why he should apologize

It has been acknowledged for decades that, lacking any better options, there is always the US military. Kerry said the same thing I've been hearing from many others for since I was 12.

4. Disgusting Whore Dobbs and his little poll.

[silverweb]

8. Do you watch Dobbs at all?

He's on our side.

[The Stranger]

28. Oh.

Then what's with his poll framed in such a way as to assume that Kerry's remarks were directed at the troops instead of at the economic predicament they are in because of AWOL?

[silverweb]

42. Nope.

That's your inference. His poll was a simple yes or no re the need for a Kerry "apology" and didn't mention economics at all.

Even if it did, the economic angle interpretation of Kerry's comments is still a valid, documented fact. Educated people do have more career options and recruiters do troll lower socioeconomic demographic groups for recruits.

That's apparently not what Kerry meant to say on this occasion, but both versions of his comment, the intended and the actual, are 100% true.

So why is Dobbs wrong for asking his viewers' opinions?

[The Stranger]

52. You didn't understand.

His poll was a simple yes or no re the need for a Kerry "apology" and didn't mention economics at all.

Kerry does not need to apologize for pointing out the disparity in economics and the effects of the war on the Middle Class -- which leaves many with no option but to support another lying war, even die in it.

Instead of providing this as an option for Dobbs' viewers to vote for Kerry's true intent and critique, Dobbs framed the issue in such a way as to fuck Kerry.

[warrens]

12. This is going to be fun

Clearly what Kerry meant was just drifting through college, failing upward, leaves you ignorant and shielded, and you end up doing stupid things like Iraq. And the American people are going to get to hear this criticism for the next week. This should be good. Now the fascists HAVE to talk about the war, not about gay marriage and all the other shit they're throwing at the wall.

Go ahead, bushie, punch the tar baby.

45. The premises for these polls are wrong

At the outset they are wrong. The question should have been 'Do you think John Kerry was right in his criticism of the White House and Bush'. Bush has proved himself wrong again and again, while Kerry has done nothing but directing criticism towards the policy now so utterly mired in lies and self interest.

It's hardly unbiased to ask a question if anybody owes an apology to somebody.
