What is the craziest anti-Kerry argument you've heard?
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 06:27 PM by Gothic_Sponge
Mine is great/sad:

My mother's neighbor said John Kerry is Osama bin Laden. My mother thought it was just metaphoric hyperbole, but no, she really thinks that John Kerry is Osama bin Laden!!!! He shaved off his beard and is going to take control of America! :crazy:

1. Funny, GS, but I don't buy it.
There is no way that this person really believes that JK is OBL. She's just spouting off.

2. I can't say for sure
I don't even know the woman, but my mother is convinced she believes it. She is an old woman.....maybe she is not playing with a full deck.

4. I like the one that he's a gigolo
And his wife is a gigolo as well. You see, they had the audacity to marry into wealth instead of being born into wealth like that upstanding Bushes. :eyes:

5. So far it's that
he wounded himself to get the purple hearts...(or ran out among the shrapnel carefully so he'd only be scratched) and then put himself in for the Silver Star when he didn't deserve it and somehow awarded it to himself.

Weirdly enough, the right wing cesspool Newsmax has run articles suggesting that rubbish...

6. He's been botoxed and he looks French
Dennis Miller seems to be particularly fond of promoting this line of argument while attempting to persuade people not to vote for Kerry. I just think this is the most sad, petty, pathetic and vacuous set of statements I have ever heard as a means to discredit a presidential aspirant.

And they also conveniently forget to mention that Bush looks like a perpetual stunned mullet in most of his appearances -I mean if you are going to judge a candidate based on his looks, GWB isn't exaclty leading in that department either. And nor is Dennis Miller

7. I was told that he looks like a shoe maker
That alone is reason not to vote for him.

I did not even try to understand that one

12. That's actually a really popular one
I got the e-mail at work. For the record, Snopes has debunked it.

11. I heard this one today from my supervisor
who was told this by a co-worker: Kerry is a COWARD.
A little bizarre, to call a 5-medal winner a coward...

14. Skull & Bones! Skull & Bones!
Hey, I was in the Medieval Society in college. Does that mean I still shoot people with arrows and brew my own mead?
