al-Zawahiri agrees with John Kerry

From Rush Limbaugh:

RUSH: Let's go to the audio sound bites here. I want you to hear Ayman al-Zawahiri -- you'll hear him in the background. It's actually a CNN report. Nic Robertson -- and I guess we could say this is Zawahiri's prebuttal to President Bush's State of the Union address tonight.

ROBERTSON: In many ways this is vintage Ayman al-Zawahiri, criticizing President Bush in Iraq saying, "Why send 20,000 troops? Why not send another 50,000 or a hundred thousand--" he said, "--they'll be defeated anyway."

RUSH: Yeah, taunting Bush, "Come on, what do you mean 20,000? Give us 50, give us a hundred thousand to kill, you're going to lose 'em anyway." And of course the Drive-By Media was just salivating and excited as they could be over this. Who does this sound like, by the way? Ayman al-Zawahiri, "Send us 20,000, give us 50, why not another hundred? They'll be defeated anyway." We have heard this somewhere before.

KERRY: You can put a hundred thousand troops in, and you can up the casualties, up the stakes, increase the violence, and not get a resolution.

RUSH: Yes! It was John Kerry, ladies and gentlemen, who served in Vietnam. This was a little over a month ago in December 2006 on the Today Show. David Gregory was interviewing Lurch, who was in Damascus, Syria, negotiating with terrorists, i.e., Bashar Assad. Gregory's question was, "More troops would not do enough in your estimation to shore up Baghdad, at least give the Maliki government a fighting chance?" "You could put a hundred thousand troops in there. All you're going to do is up the casualties." So he, once again, on the same page with Al-Qaeda. John Kerry and the Democrats, whether they know it or not, their instincts lead them to say things that end up being parroted and repeated by Al-Qaeda as though Al-Qaeda are Democrat allies. Of course, Al-Qaeda was pushing for Democrats last November in the elections.

Thank you John Kerry

From Joseph Farah:

Thank you, John Kerry, for reminding me and the rest of America what an evil alternative you and your party represent for this country.

I take a backseat to no one in my disgust for the failure of this president and the Republican Party in addressing some of the critical issues facing America – border security, controlled immigration, government spending, etc.

So disenchanted was I – and I'm sure I speak for millions of other Americans – that I have been less than enthusiastic about next Tuesday's election.

I asked myself:

Does it really make a difference which party governs?

Are the Republicans capable of operating within the defined constitutional limits of our republic?

Do we really have any choice in our two-party system?

While I still have grave doubts the Republicans will ever get their act together, I'm looking forward to voting next week – if, for no other reason, than to let the whole world know Americans reject John Kerry and his party that represents surrender and contempt for the U.S. military.

As I write this column, Kerry, still the titular head of the Democratic Party, is trying to spin his offensive remarks about our fighting men in Iraq.

But you heard him with your own ears. You saw him with your own eyes. No matter what he says today, you know in your hearts that he wasn't criticizing President Bush, he was demonstrating, once again, his lifelong loathing of the American soldier.

So, as for me, I will go to the polls Tuesday with a little more enthusiasm – a little more motivation – than I had last week.

I will vote to ensure the white-flag wavers don't assume power just because of Republican ineptitude.

All across the nation voters will have choices to make. I'm not advocating voting Republican across the board. Be smart. Be selective. Vote your conscience. But do express your contempt for John Kerry's party.

Around the world, our enemies are watching this election. They are eagerly awaiting a repudiation of those who have pursued them in Iraq and Afghanistan and right here in the U.S. They are hoping John Kerry's party will be swept into power and hand them the victory they could never win on the battlefield against American soldiers.

Don't give them that satisfaction. Don't hand them that victory.

Get angry about what you heard from John Kerry. Let it sink in and fester. And take your revenge the only way we can next Tuesday. Defeat Democrats running for Congress who have embraced him as their leader.

It won't solve all our problems. It won't ensure America gets its political priorities straight. But it will be a big step in the direction of defeating soundly an evil ideology in our midst here at home.

The Kerry flip flop continues

WorldNetDaily has a report on John Kerry’s reaction to Rush Limbaugh’s position on the Israel situation:

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., got a little hot under the collar about Rush Limbaugh's analysis today suggesting Republicans are better friends for Israel than Democrats.

"Rush Limbaugh s ignorance and willingness to divide Americans knows no bounds," Kerry said in a formal statement on his website just hours after the show ended. "His latest statement about Israel is beyond offensive to all of us who have fought to protect Israel in the face of enemies committed to its destruction."

What did Limbaugh say that got Kerry so bent out of shape?

Limbaugh said the most frequent guest in the Clinton White House, besides Monica Lewinsky and the campaign donors in the Lincoln bedroom, was Yasser Arafat. He called President Bush the best friend Israel ever had in the White House.

So here is John Kerry’s reaction to this truth:

"Rush Limbaugh needs to pick up a history book instead of a doughnut," Kerry added. "It was a Democratic president who first recognized the State of Israel. It was a Democratic president who first sold Israel defensive weapons. And it was a Democratic president who first sold Israel offensive weapons."

Kerry continued: "The people of Israel and the Jewish community don’t need Rush Limbaugh to tell them who stands with them, and no one has time for right wing trying to score cheap political points while Israel fights to defend its very existence."

So Kerry personally attacks Limbaugh and then brings up old history. So what did John Kerry say to the Jewish community in 2004:

Kerry coveted the Jewish vote during his race, but also made a point of going after the Arab-American vote – telling each side what they wanted to hear.

Typical flip flop from the Democrat. Now here is the truth about the 2004 position of the Palestinians:

Arafat all but endorsed Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

Arafat deputy and chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told WND in an exclusive interview that while "we do not involve ourselves in internal American politics," at the same time "our region has been sliding deeper and deeper into chaos because of certain policies over the past few years, and this needs to change."

While he would not directly endorse Kerry, it was clear Erekat was implying the PA wants a change in White House leadership: "If things continue the way they are, if certain policies toward our region are maintained in the years to come, there is going to be a lot of violence on both sides."

A prominent Arafat aide who asked that his name be withheld spoke to WorldNetDaily from Arafat's battered Ramallah compound.

"The president [Arafat] is frustrated with Bush's policies," he said. "The president [Arafat] thinks Kerry will be much better for the Palestinian cause and for the establishment of a Palestinian state."

This should be the end of the story, but I will allow anyone to respond by opening up comments on this issue.

My position is that the Democrats can’t state their true position because they would get slaughtered at the polls to an even worse degree than how they have been over the most recent election cycles. Instead they try to please both sides by flip-flopping, which has not worked, because the new media has exposed their folly. Rush Limbaugh along with the rest of conservative talk radio and now the blogosphere has countered the Democrat’s main propaganda arm… the antique drive-by media. The truth is that we should not trust the Democrats with our national security. Their anti-American position is now out of the bag.

John Kerry on eve of Iraq elections

From NewsMax:

The Republican Party sees nothing funny about Sen. John F. Kerry's crack that President Bush should be impeached.

If Democrats take back the House in 2006, there would be a "solid case" to bring articles of impeachment against Bush for "misleading" the country about prewar intelligence, the National Journal's Hotline quoted Kerry as saying.

Kerry spoke Wednesday night at a holiday party for those who worked on his losing 2004 presidential campaign. He gave a short speech at a Washington bar.

Hotline said several of the 100 Democrats who attended the party quoted Kerry as advocating President Bush's impeachment.

Kerry's communications director David Wade later said his boss was joking, but Republicans are not laughing.

"With his impeachment advocacy last night, John Kerry once again showed how out of touch he is with American people and how in step he is with the far left fringes of the Democrat party," said RNC Communications Director Brian Jones in a statement.

"For one of the leaders of the Democrat party to begin a push for presidential impeachment, in seriousness or jest, on the eve of the Iraq elections is both foolish and shortsighted."

The anti-American John Kerry

From Joseph Farah:

John Kerry was only doing what has always done – for as long as any of us have known him as a public figure.

Back then, Kerry told us American troops were terrorizing women and children in Vietnam.

Today John Kerry says American troops are terrorizing women and children in Iraq.

Could it possibly be this guy just doesn't like his country very much? Could it be he's got it in for the American military?

John Kerry responds

John Kerry responds to those that hold him accountable for calling the American military terrorists:

VIETNAM VETERAN JOHN KERRY: [T]here 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 -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that.

RUSH: "Terrorizing" women and children. We've got a picture we're going to put up on the website today of such an act. An American soldier "terrorizing" an Iraqi child, is actually holding the child and feeding it milk from a bottle. This is what our troops are doing. This is characterized as "terrorizing" by Senator Kerry. So Wolf Blitzer said to Ken Mehlman, "What's your response to this?"

MEHLMAN: John Kerry was on Face the Nation this past weekend and he talked about American troops terrorizing Iraqi people, going into Iraqis' homes. I thought that was an incredibly irresponsible comment. I thought that Nancy Pelosi's echoing the retreat and defeat strategy that was laid out earlier was also wrong. I think Democrats all around the country need to stand up and be counted.

RUSH: And then in the midst of all this, Wolf Blitzer, after this interview, reported this.

BLITZER: Getting a quick reaction to my interview only within the past few minutes where the chairman of the Republican Party Ken Mehlman who took a strong swipe at John Kerry for comments he made on Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer this Past Sunday. David Wade, a spokesman for John Kerry, just sent us over a statement saying: "Ken Mehlman's filthy and shameful lie about a decorated combat veteran is disgraceful. Political hack Ken Mehlman and draft dodging, doughnut-eating Rush Limbaugh have something in common, neither of them know anything about how to make American troops safe. John Kerry will continue to speak out about how to succeed in Iraq and protect brave American troops."

RUSH: Senator Kerry, let me just tell you right now: I don't eat doughnuts. I eat Boston cream puffs. Most of the time I spit 'em out. They taste too much like ketchup to me. (Laughing.) Folks, he can't even respond. He can't even defend his own words. This is typical of where the Democrats are. The Democrats can't defend their positions. Kerry is just an arrogant elitist. He basically expects to get away with saying whatever he says. Whatever he says, we're supposed to sit down and marvel at the brilliance, at how far ahead of the curve John Kerry is. He shouldn't be made to defend his words. Why, who do we think we are? We're nothing but a bunch of common plebes, and for us to dare question John Kerry, why, who the hell do we think we are? This Boston Brahman stands high above everyone else in his own mind alone, and what's happened here, this comment as basically taken him out of the running for the '08 nomination. If he ever was in it if the first place, this nomination is now not his at all.

John Kerry calls American soldiers terrorists

There is no end to the Defeaticrats:

RUSH: John Kerry beginning to undermine the war in a big effort now, in a big way. Let's go the sound bite. This is Face the Nation yesterday. Bob Schieffer says, "Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, he takes a very different view, Senator Kerry. He says basically that we should stay the course, because he says real progress is being made. He says, 'This is a war between 27 million Iraqis who want freedom and 10,000 terrorists.' He says we're in a watershed transformation. What about that?"

JOHN KERRY: I don't agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is, you've got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment; you've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis, 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 -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all --

[Where is the MSM on that one? Why are they not telling the American people the truth about the leadership of today’s Democrat Party:]

RUSH: So he came back and he lied about atrocities that he never saw. He accused men of committing these atrocities. He never saw them. He lumped himself in at some point with having participated in them, but he never saw these things committed. That truth has come out. He has not seen US soldiers terrorize kids and children in the dead of night in Iraq, and yet he can't help it because this is who he is -- and who he is, is a carbon copy of today's modern Democratic Party. This is how they view the American military man and woman; this is how they view their own country. We are the terrorists. We brutalize. We're the barbarians. We are cowards. We are doing things like this under cover of darkness. It is shocking to have to play this stuff for you, but I feel compelled to do it because so many people still want to have their head in the sands about all this. How much longer do we have to pretend these people are patriots? How much longer do we have to do that, folks? We've got Ramsey Clark, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy -- who, of course, said that our running of Abu Ghraib prison was no different than a change of management. In fact, we're doing it just as badly and doing just as rotten things as Saddam did. They don't speak like patriots, folks, and they don't act like patriots. In this comment, John Kerry is anti-American. He's trying to get away with making you think he is pro-American and pro-military because we're in a situation that the president put us all in that's untenable and it's not these people's fault; it's all Bush's fault. But make no mistake that's not how this is heard around the world. This is cheered by our enemies. This is not patriotism. This is not patriot speech. It's not patriot actions. This is pure anti-American, anti-anti-US military and these are the mouthpieces of the Democratic Party today who are assigned the effort of saying these things: constantly slam our own country, pretending that they're slamming Bush. And it's true incidental they hate Bush. There's no question. But they have to know that they're pounding our institutions, and the people who support them know it. International Answer, Code Pink, all these other loon, left-wing peace groups are all part of the same organization. They are invested in our defeat. They are now agitating for our defeat. They are seeking our defeat -- and I, for one, find nothing patriotic about it.

Another Kerry flip-flop on Iraq

From Rush Limbaugh:

The Democrats have been demanding a withdrawal, and they've been demanding a timetable, have they not? Isn't that what there was a vote on in the House? There was no specific date of the vote, but the whole premise was voted on, was it not? Isn't that what Congressman Murtha got started with his comments? The whole notion: "We need to get out." They can cover this up and they can try to camouflage it all they want, but let's be truthful. The Democrats did try to make this case. Why have we been saying they are invested in defeat? They are invested in defeat because they are demanding a pullout. They want a withdrawal. They want to set up a timetable, and the president is saying, "Nope, I'm not going to do that because that's going to send the wrong message." Well, John Kerry -- who is still running for president when you listen to this speech -- was part of the two-man duo that came out and did the response, and Senator Kerry had this to say, among other things.

VIETNAM VETERAN JOHN F. KERRY: What it did on the Democratic side seek to do [sic], was set an estimated timetable for success, which will permit the withdrawal of our troops. Everything that we have presented has been presented on the basis of how you succeed. The president today in his speech said, I quote, "America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am commander-in-chief." Well, so long as Jack Reed is a United States Senator and John Kerry is a senator and the rest of us are senators, none of us, no one, has ever suggested or believes that we should run in the face of car bombers or assassins.

RUSH: That's absolute BS, Senator Kerry! That is an absolute lie just like you were famous for doing throughout the 2004 presidential campaign. What is this? He says the Democrats don't want a timetable for withdrawal; they want a timetable for success? What in tarnation's name is this man even doing commenting on this? He's still a D-student. Most people get smarter and we mature as we get older. Kerry is getting dumber. We don't want a deadline for withdrawal; we want a timetable for success? They know that they have swerved into an untenable position. They know that they have swerved with this demand for a withdrawal, a demand for a timetable. Now they come out there and deny that this is what this has all been about the past three weeks? This is the first time I've heard them mention success or victory -- and it didn't sound believable. It sounded forced. It doesn't sound like success and victory are part of Kerry's natural lexicon or vocabulary. But to come out and try to deny what was going on in the past three weeks that was started by Congressman Murtha? "We don't! No, no, we're not interested in withdrawal!" -- and how about this? He has to echo Bush. "As long as I'm in the Senate, as long as Jack Reed's in the Senate, we're not going to run from the face of car bombers and assassins." Why did he have to go and deny that? Because that's what people think they want to do. They want to pull out. They want to withdraw. It's the car bombers that got them all upset, the car bombers that are causing the deaths of the soldiers. These people are trying to rewrite history in the midst of it, and they're not going to get away with it, folks. Not here.

John Kerry, dumber

Here is another example of Democrats hiding the truth during an election:

Newly released Navy records of Sen. John Kerry show the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, who was portrayed as the intellectual superior of President Bush, actually received a lower academic average than his rival while studying at Yale, including five Ds.

The transcript of grades, which Kerry has always declined to release, was part of a set of Naval records requested and finally received by the Boston Globe. Last month, Kerry gave the Navy permission to release the records to the paper, something he refused to do during last fall's campaign.

John Kerry coins “Sub Media”

Rush Limbaugh works John Kerry over on comments made last month (more at the Weekly Standard):

RUSH: All right, we tracked it down, ladies and gentlemen. Senator Kerry, February 28th, 2005 speaking at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Museum in Boston, a portion of his remarks.

KERRY: Something has happened in the way in which we're talking to each other and in who is arbitrating about truth in American politics. When fear is dominating the discussion and when there are false choices presented and when there is no arbitrator, we have a problem. We learned that the mainstream media in the course of the last year did a pretty good job of discerning, but that there is a subculture and a sub media that keeps things going for entertainment purposes rather than for the flow of information and that that has a profound impact that undermines what we call the mainstream media of the country, and so the decision-making ability of the American electorate has been profoundly impacted as a consequence of that.

RUSH: Why is that? Must be because the decision-making ability of the American electorate is not all that great anyway. They're stupid, actually stupid. So a bunch of sub media types can come long and pollute their minds is that it, can "undermine our great mainstream media," undermine what we call the mainstream media? No wonder he thinks this! The mainstream media and their allies in the Democratic Party all feel put upon, but there's an interesting term, "sub media."

…

So they still don't get it. They're not willing to admit what they face. They're not willing to even examine themselves -- and that's the real thing. I mean when things are going wrong -- and it's going wrong to the Democratic Party. Let's admit it: It's going badly for them. When things are going wrong and mistakes are being made the first thing you've got to do is examine yourself and you've got to be honest with yourself about mistakes you might be making. I don't care if it's your personal life, professional life or what have you, and if you're unwilling to do that, if your instinct and your impulsive reaction is to blame everybody else, you're never going to ever fix your problem. You're going to always reside in blaming others, and that's what they're doing and it's the same thing with these guys, the Democrats in the Senate and attempting to continue filibustering judges. They are close to a meltdown on this and they're fearful and this is right where we want them. (Laughs.) Well, we want them here. It's just it's a question of whether the Republicans in the Senate will take advantage of this.
