KERRY’S KIND WORDS RETURNED WITH HATE
Senator John Kerry honored Ronald Reagan yesterday, This is just one of the responses from the NEO’S to those things that Kerry had to say.


POST FROM A NEO-CON HATE MONGER:

Watching the coverage of Ronald Reagan's death, you may have noticed it - John Kerry disappeared from your TV screen for a while. No wonder - even the most liberal media outlets find it rather dangerous to connect these two at this time.

And so, according to Kerry: Today, from California to Maine - ‘from sea to shining sea’ - Americans will bow their heads in prayer and gratitude that President Reagan left such an indelible stamp on the nation he loved

Yes. Americans will; but I'm not sure about you, senator, because you did everything possible to undermine, boycott and kill everything Reagan did. The good news is that you lost. Should you have it your way, 1/3 of the globe would still be living under communist rule today.

You called his anticommunist efforts barbaric, you boycotted his efforts to prevent Nicaragua from becoming another Cuba, you vehemently opposed the military buildup by which President Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Union, leading to its collapse, you went as so far to establish the now forgotten "http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/f/fontova/2004/fontova030304.htm" to attack Reagan's administration as drug dealers when you could not stop them in their efforts any other way.

And Kerry's statement again: Today in the face of new challenges, his example reminds us that we must move forward with optimism and resolve.

You bet it does! But it is the kind of optimism and resolve that you spent your entire political life fighting tooth and nail to disrupt - then and now. You were always wrong, Sir, but people like you just don't have the decency to admit it.

Funny how they even use hate to honor one of their own Saints.

I made this post to expose the hate that Mr. Kerry has received even though he had nothing but good to say about his old nemesis Reagan.

This is just ONE example of how they use something even like this to slam Senator Kerry.

Read it !

5. I Love The "Bankruptcy" Talking Point
As if Reagan was strategically creating a massive nuclear arsenal to break the Soviet bank, and not because he was a paranoid-delusional cowboy waiting for the little green men to take over the world - in the meantime, creating a the largest national debt the world had ever seen (easily, easily eclipsed by our current asshead-in-chief).



Picture taken in the Oval Office.

7. typical republican mind-jamming rhetoric
if you don't love reagan you are anti-american -- if you don't agree with a conservative agenda you are anti-american.
anti-american, anti-american, anti-american -- maybe someday they'll get a new line?

9. Except to belittle Kerry, why is this being posted here?
I do not go to neocon posting areas because of this type of tirade and yet I find it here at DU. I am wondering why?

12. But this is brought to us by the messenger even if the opinion is
not his/hers and that makes the messenger suspect. To belittle the nimrod is a weak excuse. But mea culpa for reading this thread. I still am wary of those who find it "necessary" to expose DU to the ranting of neocon boards.

11. Know your opponent
This was really NOT a Neo-Con site , It’s an example of the depths they will go to discredit a good man.
John Kerry.

But Yes, I do understand where you are coming from.
Sorry, That was not my intent.

13. I think we know these opponents all too well. However, sorry to
doubt your motives. Again, my fault for wondering through that typical right wing mess. Welcome to the board. Daily we are inundated with right wing speak all over the main stream media. It made me forget my manners. (As my mother would have said,"There are no good excuses for bad manners." )WELCOME.

14. Thank you
And I really do understand your point, Our local boards swamped by such garbage and it is very nice to come here to DU to get a break.

I am on the new side here, Please accept my apologies for exposing something that I find especially abhorrent.
