Kerry: US A Pariah, Hezbollah Not So Much


Speaking in Davos, Switzerland, foot in mouth Senator John Kerry, perhaps now liberated to be a total clown, suggested that the problem with America is Americans, recommended sending former President Clinton to settle matters in Iraq, while also claiming America is an international pariah because of Bush - and somewhere along the line he found time to pose with former Iranian President Ayatollah Mohammad Khatami. (AP Photo/Virginia Mayo)

Speaking at Harvard University, the Ayatollah Mohammad Khatami denied that Hizballah is a terrorist organization, and called it “a symbol of Arab resistance.” that story at lgf

You also might recall Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney recently denying a taxpayer funded police escort for Khatami when he spoke at Harvard.

Along with the pariah remark, Kerry also said:

"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.

"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East — in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."

The so-called French Senator went on to imply that the real trouble with America is that we're Americans:

Kerry criticized what he called the "unfortunate habit" of Americans to see the world "exclusively through an American lens."

Perhaps he borrowed Khatami's glasses for the event? And he wants us to send former president Clinton to Iraq:

"I don't care how many troops are put in — Iraq is not going to be pacified," Kerry said. "Now, we are partly responsible. The absence of legitimate significant diplomacy is a disgrace. Quick flights in by a secretary of state are not diplomacy."

"There should be a special envoy, maybe a joint bipartisan special envoy. Why not a President Clinton together with a Republican of high ability, and bring them together and really work the process?"

Update: Note to Senator Kerry, I have a process you can work. Let's hope this guy, or another possible winner runs against Kerry in 2008.

After announcing that he will not run for President, this giggolo has now become himself again.

Kerry

The media would like us to forget what Kerry did in the Vietnam era. Yeah, he served -- so did Benedict Arnold. He and his communist buddy Jane Fonda caused millions to die as they blamed America for everthing. And boy are we lucky he didn't get elected. Hezbollah not a terrorist group--sheech!

NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

What a pathetic exhibition,

What a pathetic exhibition, I think Kleenex needs to make another one of those couch commercials featuring Lurch since he was blubbering on the Senate floor this week implying that again voter fraud had been perpetrated on the ignorant boobs....errr, his fellow Americans when he was not coronated King.... err, President in 2004, telling us with baited breathe that he would not be running for President. When I heard that while I was ignoring Harry Reid on C-Span I heard the Hallelujah Chorus singing through my upper brain housing group.... Divine it was!

With his perfectly quoffed hairdo Lurch was once again apologizing to the world for America's misguided foreign policy which would have been more lovey dovey if the ignorant peasant masses had only just voted for him mister regular guy Johnny so the world would once again love us.

I think he might have gone on this rant because of the former Iranian "President" sitting a couple of seats away scribbling notes. Johnny must have thought he was earning a gold star for that day of class, trying to represent US Foreign Policy as something in his control much like his mentor Teddy once did with the Russkies!

Grow a pair in 2008 Massachusetts vote Curt Schilling for Senate!

He could change his mind.

He cried.  That makes it OKayyyyy.

Maybe he threw someone else's candidacy over the White House fence and it wasn't really his?  So, it don't mean nothin'?

LOL, Hardly, Blonde. And what is just as infuriating is he believes we can change the African culture, which is primarily the cause of Africa's AIDS crisis, as well as many of their other problems, but we have no chance at changing the culture of Iraqis.

No shiite, John!

Dan,

I think The Poodle is suffering from amnesia.

"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto,...."

Bill Clinton is the one who walked away from that hideous treaty (one of the few things he did I agreed with).

"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East — in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."

John, when has there never been a crisis of confidence towards us in the Midlle East? Are we viewed as a pariah because we choose to stand with Israel against tyrannical totalitarians who wish to see Isreal destroyed? Is it because we stand against the 7th Cenury barbarian horde whose domination is spreading on this earth like a cancer?

"unfortunate habit" of Americans to see the world "exclusively through an American lens."

Well no shiite, John! Perhaps that is because most of us are Americans. Would you rather us look at the world through the eyes of the defeatest French?

Quick flights in by a secretary of state are not diplomacy."

Actually, John, you may have a point here.  After all, Maddy All-wrong made a short flight into North Korea and dropped off some nuke technology and look what happened.  She also paid a short visit to Iran and dropped off some more nuke technology and look what is happening there. And there was a little side trip to China to drop off a little missile technology and just last week the Chicoms used said technology to destroy one of there own satelites. Who knows, next time they may go after someone elses?

Yeah, John, that diplomacy thing works really well with people whose only stated goal is to destroy Western Society along with all of us who reside in it.

Bill Clinton had no choice bu

Bill Clinton had no choice but to walk away from the Kyoto Protocol after the Senate shot it down 95-0 in a very bipartisan vote. 

Besides, why should the United States sign on to something that other nations are exempt from?  If that is not an indication that it is all about punishing the United States I don't know what is.

When we walked away from Ky

When we walked away from Kyoto?? Maybe Kerry doesn't remember, but he voted against the Kyoto Protocols before he voted for it.

Point of fact, the Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY to REJECT the Kyoto Protocol on July 25, 1997. The final draft had been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished, and the U.S. Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res. 98),[40] which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or "would result in serious harm to the economy of the United States."

I thought it was the Senate's job (as per our Constitution) to ratify or reject international treaties... Seems they did that pretty convincingly. Now the Dems want Bush to override the Senate and act in excess of his authority? Wow... Hypocrisy much?

Damn, just think of the copio

Damn, just think of the copious amount of fun we could have had at the expense of Herr Poodle in '08? Sigh...

Speaking in Davos, Switzerlan

Speaking in Davos, Switzerland, foot in mouth Senator John Kerry, perhaps now liberated to be a total clown, suggested that the problem with America is Americans, recommended sending former President Clinton to settle matters in Iraq,

Afterall, Clinton did such a bang up job in Mogadishu, right?  What did Clinton EVER fix?

. . . while also claiming America is an international pariah because of Bush - and somewhere along the line he found time to pose with former Iranian President Ayatollah Mohammad Khatami.

It's always very telling to see how the American Uber-rich behave in the company of their foreign peers.  Some stand up for America.  Kerry apparently felt the need to ingratiate his host and friends by distancing himself from his country.  If only the voters of Massachusetts would see the light and distance themselves from him at the polls.

Hopefully, some Rep will condemn his statement on the floor of the Senate to get Kerry's quote in the Congressional Record.

Kerry: "When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, . . ."

Kyoto was rejected in an ovewhelmingly bipartisan way in the Senate, even though Clinton didn't send the treaty to the Senate for ratification.

. . . when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa,

Didn't Bono praise Bush for greatly increasing US AIDS money to Africa?

. . . when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.

Well, if Kerry is confessing to being a hypocrite, I have to agree with his assessment of himself.

I never knew Heinz owned Waffle House! It is probably Kerry's greates accomplishment, getting a chain of fast food places named after him.

Kerry lost the election for President of the United States of America.  He has no right to speak for us in a foreign country and denegrate the nation.  Shame on him. 

Apparently, he still has not learned to control his mouth which speaks drivel and hateful things about this beloved country and its service men and women.  He has been giving our various enemies anti-American amunition for 35 years now and needs to stop.  He was elected to represent his state, but not the nation as a whole and I find his statements, again, treasonist.

I agree with Newt that it should be illegal when Senators and members of Congress go to foreign countries and speak like this or act like they have the authority to make policy.  Arrest the **'s like Kerry, Pelosi, etc.

Speaking in Davos, Switzerland

Speaking in Davos, Switzerland in total gibberish, the junior Senator from Massachusetts revealed his experimentation in homosexuality with Teddy and Barney Frank. He said "education, if you do well, may teach you things that are abhorrent to decent people."

He refused to discuss the use of ketchup in his bizarre experience. He just mumbled something about 58 varieties not 57.

When a sitting Senator goes overseas and badmouths his own country there should be rules in place to revoke his passport and keep him the hell out of our country!

Kerry Never Got Over His Foot In Mouth Disease

Man, this guy is sad. It takes lots of guts for Kerry Kerry Quite Contrary to diss America overseas (especially among the Europeans whose butts he has lips permanently stuck to and a former Iranian president). Wow, what a way to represent one's country. Do his constitutents care about stuff like this or do they either willingly bow at the Democratic altar or cheer when Kerry disses the big, bad President? I'd like for him to say that in front of military members and their spouses. He wouldn't get far before he got pelted with tomatoes and pies. But then, Europe soaks up all the anti-American diatribe when the US doesn't dance along to their tune. When will this boob and others like him (calling Ted Kennedy) get recalled? I mean, Kerry is all for thoughful dialogue but I guess when you're a sore loser like him it's easier to talk about it than subscribe to it, huh?

Kerry, through his traiterous actions in Vietnam, should have been deported from this country then.  He now continues to defame America and Americans.  Let's not make the same mistake twice.  We need to start a movement to deport this traitor from our country and all his traiterous buddies, like Jane Fonda, with him.  Let him go live with Hezbollah.  He will fit in just fine.
