Max Cleland Defends Kerry

Max Cleland, the Democrat who blew himself up in Vietnam issued a statement defending John Kerry and his slander of US troops. Thanks to Leaning Straight Up for bringing this to my attention. Here is the release:

“I think people will remember John Kerry’s press conference today as the moment we Democrats stopped once and forever accepting the disgraceful smears of Republicans. John Kerry showed our Party how to fight back with the truth.

“John Kerry is a patriot who has fought tooth and nail for veterans ever since he came home from Vietnam. He has stood with his brothers in arms unlike this Administration which exploits our troops to make a political point and divide America.

“John Kerry should apologize to no one for his criticism of the President and his broken policy in Iraq. George Bush is the one who owes our troops an apology. This is text book Republican campaign tactics.

“Everybody knows it’s not working this time around. If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they’ve got a partisan political agenda and that’s the bottom line. We’re not going to take it any more.”

First thing to notice is that the words are remarkably similar to Kerry’s from earlier. Perhaps Cleland should have gotten an education so he could think of his own words to write. Relax folks, I am sure that he has an education, it is just hard to put it to use when your brain is numbed with the kool-aid. The next thing that stands out is the blatant lie that John Kerry has been an advocate for veterans sine he returned from Vietnam (he was there you know).

John Kerry came home from the war and called his fellow vets rapists and murderers. Did that grenade rattle Cleland’s brain so badly that he has forgotten Kerry’s anti war, anti American activities that likely earned him a dishonorable discharge (we might actually know if this honorable man would release his records like he promised). How is it supportive of our troops to protest against them, to meet with the enemy, and to be held up as a hero by that very enemy? How is it supporting troops to say that American soldiers terrorize Iraqi civilians? How is it supportive to call the brave men and women of our military uneducated?

John Kerry held a press conference to defend himself. He is determined that he will not let his honor be questioned like it was when he ran in 2004. Unfortunately for John, he looked anything but presidential and showed America that she made the correct choice in selecting Bush for reelection. John Kerry is determined to give a tough guy appearance after he was exposed by the Swift Boat Vets and then got his ass handed to him in the election. Kerry says he will never be “Swift boated” again.

John, there are a whole lot of current veterans who would like to “swift boot” you right in your sorry ass. They would have to form a line, behind me.

Stop the ACLU has video of Bush’s demand for an apology.
Ms Underestimated has several good videos of the subject.
