ANOTHER RIGHT-WING MORON: GLENN BECK
If you've never heard of Glenn Beck, consider yourself lucky. Beck is another in the long line of right-wing nuts with high school diplomas, who just happen to be blessed with a deep "radio voice". In fact, Glenn got so popular on the "talkie box", CNN went ahead and gave him his own TV show.
Which brings us to Beck's "John Kerry" rant from today's broadcast. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the recent comments by Kerry, they went like this:
As you'll see in the video, Kerry (a Vietnam veteran) sought to clarify his statement earlier today, and yet Mr. Beck continued his assault as if John Kerry never addressed the issue.
By the way, it's interesting to note that as hysterical as Glenn Beck gets over this slight against military service, he's NEVER SERVED a day in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. However, according to his Wikipedia page, he does admit being an alcoholic and drug addict throughout his 20's.
Wow, no military service combined with an alcohol and/or drug problem... is that a prerequisite for entry into the Republican Party?

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, 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."Sounds terrible doesn't it? However, what Bush, Cheney, Tony Snow, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and countless other conservatives forget is that Kerry was in the process of mocking President Bush at the time. In fact, his statement just prior to this quote was commenting on Bush was currently living "in a state of denial". Therefore even when Kerry calls Bush a dunce who "got stuck in Iraq", the IDIOT himself can't even realize he's being insulted! Welcome to "soundbyte city" ladies and gentlemen!

I stopped watching CNN because of this prick. The bullshit thing is that, in ads, they never call him conservative. He's always "outspoken" or some such crap. Obviously another example of the liberal media.
I don't know/care who the CNN dude is,however...I do listen to IMUS on MSNBC from 3am-6am (six years) and he invited Kerry to explain himself on this morning's broadcast.
Anyone with two brain cells knows what Kerry meant, (a given his Bush history), however, he didn't apologize for the gaff except to admit he had told a "bad joke", poorly. Still no apology to those serving in Iraq for giving the wrong impression! Imus gave Kerry several opportunities to "end it" but he chose the "first, I voted FOR the war.." technique. Interesting video/audio if you can get it. (Imus and side-kick Charles both voted for and were supporters of Kerry)
Sorry, for the long post...and, yes, I am a Democrat and one time Kerry fan, apologetically speaking. AL
