How can Liberals say Kerry's words were taken out of context or twisted when the entire statement is on tape?

Question

Do they not hear what the sane people hear?

Those who defend him again really want to believe in him so badly they would defend anything.

Answer 1

Yes, and how many different stories has he contrived to try and explain it off. First it was meant for Bush, no apology. Then it was I misquoted from my notes, no apology. Then it was someone else changed my notes, I misspoke and apologize kinda.

Answer 2

did you listen to it. it's apparent the students who were there did. some of them even laughed. watch the whole thing, not just the 13 second sound bite.
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX): On the October 31 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, Armey said of the attacks on Kerry's remarks, "Well, it's pretty standard fare in political discourse. You misconstrue what somebody said. You isolate a statement, you lend your interpretation to it and then feign moral outrage." When host Chris Matthews stated that Kerry "was trashing Bush," Armey responded, "Right," and went on to say, "A fundamental premise of politics is we can make this work if people just never figure it out."

Answer 3

Please go to the link below. It ain't just Democrats.
The fact is there are several Republican saying they know what Kerry was trying to say was a joke about Bush being dumb. Here is a link to the transcripts from the Chris Mathews show.

Read the Dick Armey quotes. No friend of the Democrats. Very revealing.

The best quote I read about the whole thing was in another article. "Is the White House too stupid to know he was making a joke about them being stupid"

Who really cares what John Kerry says anyway. Does that have anything to do with anyone you're voting for? The Republicans want to get everyone fired up over this to take away from the issues. It's pretty sleazy politics and both sides do it.

Answer 4

The entire statement is on tape, but you shitto-heads seem to have a perverse fascination with one sentence from it. Nevermind that meaning is *always* contextual.

You 'pugs are pretty effin stoopid.

Answer 5

While making a speech mocking Bush.: "You know, education -- if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.
"If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

What he meant.See the difference?
Kerry was supposed to say, "I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq."

Answer 10

Don't confuse liberals with the facts, they have their own reality. Besides, if you deny it enough times, then it never happened.
