1. but but, he didnt SHOOT anyone now did he?

[aden_nak]

28. YES. As a soldier in a war that wasn't one of Cheney's priorities.

Maybe if Dick hadn't soaked up five deferments, he'd know how to handle his rifle.

[Mr_Spock]

2. Whoever said that should be made to eat a bullet

...as a meal...

[Endangered Specie]

31. mmm, Berdan primer, a la mode?

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. And yet, somehow, he managed to stop short of shooting someone

in the face. :shrug: :hi:

[MadMaddie]

4. Posing with guns and shooting someone are apples and oranges.

Bruce Morton you are an idiot!!

Look here's something shiny!!:grr:

[blm]

5. Yeah... for FIFTY YEARS during every hunting season.

.

[flpoljunkie]

6. Sons of bitches! Kerry is a crack shot, and borrowed the clothes he wore

from his fellow hunters. Screw Corporatist News Network!

[blm]

16. Call them - or email

,

[flpoljunkie]

33. You know I did, and enjoyed giving them hell!

[blm]

41. heheh...would love to hear the dressing down you gave em.

[BushOut06]

7. Big deal - Cheney has spent years posing with a chimp

And Bush has spent 5 years posing as a president.

[wicket]

8. Tell that to the VietCong

:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

9. Even though he's a hunter himself and

even hunted his own Thanksgiving dinner. :eyes: Oh yes. So when did Kerry ever shoot a person?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. In war. Not just being a butthead.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Well that's true but not hunting animals

[blm]

22. In Vietnam - plus he chased down a guy pointing a shoulder rocket at his

crew. A real coward.

Only patriots get five deferments.

[mtnsnake]

10. Fuck them. There's a difference between a responsible John Kerry and

a totally irresponsible deviate like Cheney.

[LSK]

12. didnt they get the memo? the 2008 dem nominee is Hillary

Maybe they should check with themselves! :sarcasm:

[Sydnie]

13. "but we probably remember seeing him doing more exotic sports

such as windsurfing". I swear that was the next thing he said. Cheney shoots someone and Kerry gets kicked for it?

hey Bruce Morton ---->

[underpants]

14. Saw that-cut to him on a windsurfer

"You probalby remember seeing him doing more elite sports"

Something like that. :puke:

[meegbear]

15. CNN, here are some straws ...

start grapsing.

[Missy M]

17. So what does that have to do with anything.....

the news is about Cheney, not Kerry so why bring this up. I guess we have to have it be non-partisan when talking about Cheney shooting someone.

[Chiyo-chichi]

23. no kidding.

How many times did you hear replays of Cheney's jibes about Kerry's hunting gear? I heard it on NPR for cripes sake! What's the point?!

Yeah, it must be that Fairness Doctrine.:sarcasm:

[montana500]

24. This is how the MSM works;

Whenever a Republican is getting roughed up in the media, make sure you toss in various stories about how "dems did it to"( or something to that effect).

When a Democrat is getting roughed up in the media, make the situation seem as dire as possible and let them twist in the wind while not bringing up compsrisons with the opposing party.



It's amazing what corporate money can buy you.

[ginnyinWI]

25. oh because repubs never do anything wrong!

Anything that happens is either Kerry's fault, Clinton's fault, or it didn't happen. Oh, and look at the shiny object over there!! :sarcasm:

It's always one of three reactions:

1. DENY: It didn't happen (No, You are mistaken: my illegal wiretapping isn't illegal at all!)

2. DEFLECT: It's somebody else's fault! (The economic decline was set up by Clinton's bad policies! And by the way, Clinton ruined our military!) variation: THEY did it/do it too!

3. DISTRACT: Let's focus on how it was reported, or blame the leaker, or anything else we can get our hands on! (It's not the illegal surveillance that's the crime, it's the naughty person who leaked it to the NYT.)

[fujiyama]

19. What a snarky comment

It's funny, it's not once mentioned by Morton that Kerry actually also carried a gun in a time of war, and hunts on his own, unlike Cheney ("I had better things to do") or AWOL Bush.

[obreaslan]

20. WHO CARES!!!?!?! What I want to know is how many guns does Clinton have??

Shouldn't we be asking this question by now??????


:sarcasm:

[lonestarnot]

21. You have to have a brain and fear of your weapon before you lock and load

dertader.

[WildEyedLiberal]

26. He's spent time hunting

And NOT managing to shoot other human beings while doing so! What a NOVEL CONCEPT!

[stepnw1f]

27. Doffy... right wing "Duh" moment

Look look... he posed with a gun. Cheney can shoot whoever he wants to.... DUMB!

[Vinca]

29. Yeah, Kerry's a real prima donna.

He posed all the time IN VIETNAM unlike certain elected officials who evaded service on numerous occasions and who never saw action until they took out an aging lawyer in a Texas field. The media is so fucking bought off. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[WildEyedLiberal]

35. Maybe Cheney's now wishing he hadn't got those 5 deferments

He sure seems eager to shoot someone - he had his chance to fight for his country during Vietnam, but he had "other priorities" then. Maybe he's longing for his lost glory days.

[debbierlus]

30. IGNORE THEM

Criticizing John Kerry for a photo-op will give them about five minutes diversion from the V.P. shooting a man at close range.

They are DESPERATE.

Try to bring in a democrat to divert attention.

Only problem is that it won't work.

Changing the subject is desperation tactic. Kind of like finding your spouse in bed with another person and having them say - So, what about the superbowl, huh?

[Catherine Vincent]

32. What does John Kerry have to do with Cheney shooting Mr. Whittington?

:crazy:

[blm]

40. This is how Bizarro World works with a GOPcontrolled media.

.

[LittleClarkie]

34. AND?

Would they have preferred he shoot one of his comrades?

So what WAS Mr. Morton's point?

[DELUSIONAL]

36. Kerry went to Vietnam and Cheney DID NOT!

[Vektor]

37. Oh for fuck's sake.

Yeah, it would have been way better if he SHOT A 78 YEAR OLD MAN IN THE FACE.

:sarcasm:

Posing, my ass. Kerry is a real sportsman. Cheney is a drunken canned hunter who can't tell the difference between a man and a bird.

[stray cat]

38. Kerry went hunting without shooting his hunting companions

[xkenx]

39. Kerry actually got training re guns from the military. Maybe Cheney

wouldn't have screwed up if he had taken Wes Clark's advice about firing weapons. To paraphrase, "If you want to shoot guns designed to kill people, we have a place for you. Join the Army, and we'll teach you." Oh sorry, that's what Cheney DIDN'T do.
Dick Cheney--big gun to cover the inadequacies elsewhere.

42. Transcript Here

This president likes to hunt quail with family and friends, especially on New Year's Day. John Kerry, the man he beat, spent time posing with guns, but voters probably saw more of him pursuing exotic sports, windsurfing and so on.

44. CNN - CorporateNewsNetwork - House of Bush/House of Saud propaganda

machine.

[Libby2]

43. I heard that and it pissed me off.

I was half asleep, when I was listening, but that jumped right out at me.

Thanks for informing me who it was.

[SammyWinstonJack]

45. So now Dead eye Dick was "posing" with his gun?

:crazy: What does Kerry have to do with this? They always have to drag a Democrat into their fuck ups, don't they?

[Rocknrule]

46. Because a Dem posing with a gun is FAR worse

than a Repub actually SHOOTING someone!

Liberal. Media. My. Ass.
