Kerry vs. Pickens, D.U. vs Kos

John Kerry, the Monster from Massachusetts, will take up T. Boone Pickens' on his million dollar challenge. Pickens recently said that he will pay that amount to anyone who can disprove one charge leveled by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Kerry wants the check made out to a group for paralyzed vets.

Unforgivable.

And yet -- most passing strange -- on Democratic Underground's discussion board devoted to this story, most of the initial respondents supported Kerry. It's true: They actually lauded the Beast from Beantown.

Fortunately, Kos has come through with the red meat Dem-hate:
"It's four years after he should've stood up to them."

"Shouldn't he have done this in 2004? Why didn't Kerry and the Dems do something like this in 2004, when it might have made a difference. Or challenged the Ohio votes."
After the Kossacks showed the way, the D.U. board members followed through:
"Gosh John, what's the hurry. It's only been 3 years. Grow a set of nuts loser."

"Three years too late. In 2010, I'm guessing, he'll get around to challenging the results of the '04 election."
That's more like it. Still, I don't sense any real Dem-hate here -- no real vitriol, just pro-forma insult.

Come on, progressives: We've got an election to lose! If you want street cred, you've gotta prove that you hate Democrats more than the Republicans do.

Back in my day, by cracky, progressive Dem-haters knew how to rise to a challenge. They even found a way to attack Jerry Brown after he spent months helping Mother Theresa take care of the poor. Now here we have John Kerry trying to make sure that paralyzed vets get a million bucks, and progressives are having trouble spinning his action into something detestable.

Doesn't this generation of lefties have any imagination?

Take a look at this screen cap from FOX News, blaming Nancy Pelosi for high gas prices. That should have been your meme, progressives. You should have been the first to come up with this particular bit of lunacy. Instead, the conservatives beat you to it.

Now you have two jobs: 1. Try to come up with a justification for the FOX allegation against Pelosi and 2. Come up with something even stupider to say about the Fiend from Frisco.

I'll start you out: Where was Nancy when Harvey Milk got shot? Was there a second gun(wo)man?

Next they'll be blaming Pelosi for the recent 60,000 gallon fuel oil spill when a freighter crashed into the Oakland Bay Bridge a week ago Wednesday.

Fred Phelps makes the same sort of arguments and so did the late Jerry Falwell.

Progressives are obviously scared shitless of Republicans. Unable to face the real enemy, they transfer their hatred onto the Democrats and spend their lives screwing things up for their own party.

If you want to ensure defeat for a cause, get the progressives behind it.

I always thought that the strenght of the Democrat was the possibility of internal dissent instead of zombies who'll support anything / anyone with the elephant logo on it.

What should people who disagree with the Democrat leadership do ? shut up and stay away from politic like most Americans who don't even care to vote ?

Stop the corporations and special interest groups from corrupting the political process with a sound electoral financing reform and the real difference between Democrat and Republicans will emerge clearly.

I have two opinions, can't decide which one is best:

1. Kerry was a shill running a fake campaign so the NeoCons could stay in power.

2. Kerry realized he'd be the one to ask the last man to die for a mistake - and he just couldn't stomach the idea of continuing Iraqnam so he folded.

mwah, I let your comment through for a reason. You perfectly exemplify the kind of jackass progressive I decry in the post.

I've noticed something odd about your kind: You never seem to read the posts to which you reply. In fact, you go through life in a sort of haze, not really listening to anyone else.

In this case, you saw the name "Kerry" appear on screen and then gave us your automatic answer generated every time you see that name. And it's a really STUPID automatic answer.
