John Kerry blamed top conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh Friday morning for the uproar over his claim that U.S. troops were terrorizing Iraqi women and children. "You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right," Kerry told radio host Don Imus.
Poor Senator Kerry, still laboring under the delusion that there's a small but potent vast right wing conspiracy out to spell his, and the Republic's, doom. Wake up Kerry. Those "few people on the right" include every single conservative blog site I've encountered in the past few days. From the uproar on Free Republic, to the raging debate on an internet gamers board, private emails, and even a parenting group I visit, that idiotic quote has been the center of attention.
For those of you who don't belong to the VRWC (vast right wing conspiracy) let me re-iterate the nonsense:
And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the--of--the historical customs, religious customs. Whether you like it or not...Iraqis should be doing that.
That, friends, from the man who might have been President. That from a man who routinely criticized President Bush's "casual" relationship with the English language. Not only did Senator Kerry use the word terrorize in regard to American troops while we are engaged in a global war on terror, but he made the implication that such activities are a daily aspect of American soldiers’ routine and that really, Iraqi's should be doing the terrorizing.
Senator Kerry is not only incapable of articulating his points clearly and without slanderous accusations, but he's incapable of accepting responsibility for his faux paus. Instead it's just a tempest in a tea pot for Rush (read: the ant-Christ) and a few right wingers.
Scarlett says: And this from the man who "has a plan".
