Blueblood Kerry's Calumnies

Kerry's words rang so true and sparked a firestorm of revulsion because we have heard them before. Via Drudge, RCP, AP, "Kerry's '72 Army Comments Mirror Latest":

During a Vietnam-era run for Congress three decades ago, John Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes."

No wonder the overwhelming majority of his fellow Swift Boat veterans did not support his run for president. No wonder the American Legion and Amvets immediately demanded an apology. No wonder some Democrat candidates are repudiating his remarks now. But not all. Not Seals. Not Duckworth. John Kerry has campaigned for many of these candidates, raising money with his malicious and dishonest words which wound our troops and betray his blueblood disdain for their commitment to our country.

On the moral scale, John Kerry, you are beneath contempt.

UPDATE: Duckworth had her chance, but did NOT call on Kerry to apologize. Trib's The Swamp late yesterday. There is nothing posted on her website. Also, in case you missed it, the facts on our volunteer, well-educated, solidly middle class army. The troops in the above picture are from Minnesota. God bless them.

UPDATE: The troops aren't buying Kerry's "weasel word" apology. Hugh Hewitt, Townhall.

UPDATE: NY Times flacks for Kerry, totally lying about what he actually said. Patterico, hat tip Reverse Spin.
