		<description>By the way, Flea, the above quote-bungling makes it obvious that your piece had its genesis not in the video of Kerry, but in an opinion piece on the web which sat you down and patiently explained to you what you should be offended by in this wholly unremarkable interview.

Thus armed with your talking points and vicarious indignation, you ran right over to type it up for the readers here, essentially repeating the opinion found elesewhere on the web.

Not plagiarism per se, but, well-- let&#039;s just call it intellectual laziness.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t try to redirect attention to another quotation, insect. For the second time, here&#039;s the problem:

You led your piece with the following:

&lt;i&gt;In an interview with the New Bedford Standard Times Senator Kerry stated that:

&quot;the color of Obama’s skin makes him uniquely qualified for president and even reach out to the moderate Islam world &quot;&lt;/i&gt;

This statement does not appear in the video, because &lt;i&gt;Kerry didn&#039;t say it&lt;/i&gt;. You&#039;re lying. Okay so far?

So who did say it? As I pointed out above, the statement was actually made by NBC pundit Mike Melori, in his commments, i.e., his interpretation of Kerry’s comments.

So you&#039;ve fucked up twice. First by claiming that Kerry said this, and second by failing to identify the source from which you cribbed the statement.

Incidentally, Mike Memoli&#039;s piece, which I read last night, has been disappeared from the web, presumably because not even MSNBC could stomach the sheer stupidity of it.

Since you disingenouously fail to provide a link to the place from which you stole your talking points, I&#039;ll simply guess that you took it from &lt;a href=&quot;http://rightvoices.com/2008/03/20/oh-no-he-didnt-kerry-says-kerry-said-the-color-of-obamas-skin-makes-him-uniquely-qualified-for-president-and-even-reach-out-to-the-moderate-islam-world&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, which sort of seems like the breathless kind of site you&#039;d enjoy.

As you&#039;ll note, the false attribution is embedded in the headline with quotation marks, a sloppy bit of journalism which implies that it is actually something Kerry said. And let&#039;s face it, you&#039;re just dumbly desperate enough to lap it right up.

In my comment above, I said &quot;My bet, coward, is that you won’t cop to an error.&quot; Boy, did I ever peg you right. Glad to see my instincts are still solid in this regard.

Like I said, a liar and a coward.</description>

		<description>[...] Open Mouth, Insert Foot (by Fleaflicker at No Quarter) Yesterday former Democratic nominee and Obama supporter John Kerry confirmed everything that Geraldine Ferraro said. Not only that, he took it a few steps further, In an interview with the New Bedford Standard Times Senator Kerry stated that: “the color of Obama’s skin makes him uniquely qualified for president and even reach out to the moderate Islam world”… But Kerry took it even further. According to him electing Barack Obama would somehow redeem the United States… Apparently Senator Kerry seems to think that electing Barack Obama would not only help us get rid of our awful white guilt about our slavery past. JUST as Shelby Steele said.  Oh, and does Kerry now have to leave the campaign for mentioning skin color?  What he’s saying isn’t much different from what Geraldine Ferraro said.  But what both of them have said is vastly different from what Rev. Wright said. [...]</description>

		<description>I absolutely agree re: public financing. The incredible wealth of many of these politicians, especially Senators, can really insulate them from the daily concerns of non-rich Americans. Yet, who else can afford to campaign for Senate but a very wealthy person these days?

One of the reasons that the media elite punditry always hated the Clintons was because they were not rich, and actually exemplified the American Dream that &quot;anyone can be President.&quot; Nothing plutocrats hate more than people who are Not Their Sort.

Hillary and Bill are rich now, but they haven&#039;t forgotten their roots.</description>

		<description>First off, your reference to &quot;Grasshooper&quot; and &quot;bottom feeders&quot; and anger in general, is a poor way to get your point across. If you are of the opinion that the writer is factually off base then then say so and site your reference...with out being an asshole. 

And frankly, the immature comment, &quot;And let’s face it: It’s obvious that for you and Flea, thinking is work.&quot;  is the reflective of your inabilty to communicate effectivly.
 Insulting people is what you have done for years and if thats the what helps you with your pretzel logic , what ever.
The only thing you have in common with Master Po is your blindness, beyond that nada. In short growup.</description>

		<description>Chris.... now now now... please calm down. No need to call me a coward. What is it that you suppose I am running from. Or whom?

The &quot;Update&quot; is something the site administrators added while I was out last night. My original post had a link to the youtube video. Apparently while I was out the embed for the video became available and that was what was added.

What IS true is that Kerry was saying on the video just exactly what is quoted in my piece. I quote it again below so that you can look it over and put 2+2 together. Not sure why so many Obama followers can&#039;t connect the dots. I learned how to do that before grade school.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Asked by a reporter what gave Obama the credibility to do so, Kerry said, &lt;b&gt;“Because he’s African American. Because he’s a black man,&lt;/b&gt; who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Does this make you feel better Chris? Still think I am a coward? I even bolded it so you wouldn&#039;t have to rack your tiny brain figuring it all out. 

So grab your blankie, put your thumb back in your mouth and close your eyes. Everything will be alright.</description>

Why does this man have a woman’s beaver sprouting from his scalp?

I’ll be damned, so that’s what a merkin looks like&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Oh man, I remember that. We were talking about zany wing nut &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/images2/voxday.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Vox Day&#039;s haircut&lt;/a&gt;, and in response to someone&#039;s &quot;beaver on his scalp&quot; comment, I tossed in the observation that he appeared to be wearing a merkin-- a pubic wig-- on his head.

Ah, good times, good times. Thanks for the laugh.</description>
