KERRY PASSES UP TERROR BRIEFING: 'I JUST HAVEN'T HAD TIME'

http://drudgereport.com/flash.htm yes the drugge report, but he is just quoting what kerry said on larry king.

Just hours before attending an all-star celebrity fundraising concert in New York, Dem presidential candidate John Kerry revealed how he has been too busy for a real-time national security briefing.

"I just haven't had time," Kerry explained in an interview.

Kerry made the startling comments on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE Thursday night.

KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.

Would he have learned information that the general public would not have known, or would he have found out that "Osama is behind a threat..."

Does it matter at all what they would tell him? The fact remains he does not feel a briefing is worth a few minutes of his time.

Apparently NOT...even when the PRESIDENT reads a daily briefing it doesn't matter what it says...

Much like GWB feels that the NAACP isn't worth a few minutes of his time?

Is this briefing one of those in which pertinent essential information will be given? Yes, it matters.

Much like GWB feels that the NAACP isn't worth a few minutes of his time?

This is a liberal organization that ran an ad saying bush was responsible for the dragging death of the gentleman in Texas. The ran an Ad saying if you voted for bush it’s akin to voting to burn down black churches.

There is zero reason for Bush to give this worthless organization a second of his time.

For you to equate Bush not wanting to attend a liberal rally to Kerry not being interested enough in a terrorist briefing to give up a few minutes of his time is nuts. In any event I forgot that in most peoples eyes Kerry can do no wrong so I apologize for posting this.

Yes, and I apologize for posting that Bush can do no wrong.

The NAACP ran an ad saying that if you vote Bush it's akin to voting to burn down black churches. Do you have a problem with political organizations, right wing ones, who say that "voting for Kerry is voting for/like Osama," or does that escape your eagle-eye attention to fairness and justice?

It's funny, you say that it's WORTHLESS, does Bush think so, or is that an opinion that you don't share with Bush?

It sounds like Bush doesn't have much to say to them.

Do you believe that Marijuana Use supports terror, Bobboi?

I now know where you stand....

Voting for Kerry is not a vote for Osama, and any organization that says it is has no respect from me.

Yes, I agree any illegal drug use is an indirect way to support terrorism.

If I think Bush, or any republican has messed up I will call them out as I have with Riorden in California.

Kerry is wrong in this matter, and you should agree but you rather say two wrongs make a right. The NAACP is a liberal political organization and Bush does not have to attend any meeting they may have. The white house offering an opponent a briefing on a new terrorist threat is important and Kerry should make time to meet with the administration.

[kramsret]

Hmmm. Kerry isn't president yet. His role in anti-terrorism is pretty nil.

In good time.

If you really believe that illegal drug use supports terrorism, then you may want to find out the origin of 95% of the marijuana that is smoked in the USA.The white house offering an opponent a briefing on a new terrorist threat is important and Kerry should make time to meet with the administration.
I assume that you are also mad at Tom Ridge for his lack of attendance...

Much like Bush didn't take time to meet with people to talk about Al Qaeda?Voting for Kerry is not a vote for Osama, and any organization that says it is has no respect from me.

Then, I take it you won't be posting any more articles by Dick Morris? (nor by Jonah Goldberg)

Will you vote for Tom Cole? Will you speak out against him or support him tacitly withyour silence?
After a local Oklahoma paper claimed that U.S. Republican Congressman Tom Cole told a group of GOP faithful that a vote against George W. Bush in 2004 was like voting for Hitler, Cole denied that he ever had said such a thing.

No, Cole indignantly declared through a spokesperson, he didn't compare a vote for Kerry to a vote for Hitler. Cole wanted to set the record straight. What he really had said was that "if George Bush loses the election, Osama bin Laden wins the election."

You don't have to be an Okie from Muskogee to get the picture that Tom Cole is not the sharpest tool in the shed. This is a guy who thinks that denying he said a vote for Kerry is a vote for Hitler, but admitting he said a vote for Kerry is a vote for Osama, is some sort of personal image upgrade.


Et cetera....

[Atenhotep]

Why do Bushites expect me to hold Kerry to a higher level of scrutiny than they've EVER treated Bush with over these past four nightmarish years?

"Wouldn't be prudent."


Bush supporters have lost each and every right to say shit about anyone or anything.

All right this is getting scary. Did someone implant a micro chip in my head? This is the second post I've read today and both times you said exactly what I was going to say :pooter What would this breif tell him? He's not president, yet, if ever. What secret information would be in this brief, that they changed the color of the alert and it's a secret??? Or don't go to the Democratic convention :rollin

[Silver]

Or don't go to the Democratic convention :rollin

I know you are joking, but it might be worth thinking about for both Conventions. If Al Queda did manage to disperse some Serin Gas at one of them and kill most of the people there who would that party run for president? Hypothetically speaking, of course. :)

[lily]

Um, Nader? Can you just see it now, we'd still be talking about it four years later, just like we are with Gore/Bush :rofl

[sinterest]

but he is just quoting what kerry said on larry king.
Yes Justin, that is the chance he takes in this world of sound bites.
More Guts than your guy - he totally embarrises himself/flops.
You will see excerpts his "talk" with Tim Russart when we all get to the short rounds.
Good Fri. night to ya Justin ole buddy :wave

[lily]

sinterest, don't remind me. When he speaks without a prepared speech, I just want to pull the words out of his mouth, with all the ums and uhs :eyes let alone the stupid things he says :wife

Dang! Does it have to be hypothetical? :lol

PHILADELPHIA — NAACP chairman Julian Bond (search) urged members of the nation's oldest civil rights organization to increase voter turnout to oust President Bush, and condemned the administration's policies on education, the economy and the war in Iraq.

"They preach racial neutrality and practice racial division," Bond said Sunday night in the 95th annual convention's keynote address. "They've tried to patch the leaky economy and every other domestic problem with duct tape and plastic sheets. They write a new constitution of Iraq and they ignore the Constitution here at home."

Volunteers with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (search) have been working on voter drives in black communities across the country, registering more than 100,000 so far in 11 key states, including Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and New Mexico, Bond said.

Bond, a leader in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee during the 1960s civil rights movement and a Georgia legislator for 20 years, became chairman of the NAACP in 1998.

Leaders of the Baltimore-based group are upset that President Bush has no plans to attend the convention. Bush spoke at the 2000 NAACP convention when he was a candidate but has declined invitations to speak in each year of his presidency, making him the first president since the 1930s to skip it, officials said.


Democratic challenger John Kerry (search) has accepted an invitation to speak Thursday on the final day of the convention, the group said.

Bond said that 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision on school desegregation, and 40 years after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, schools remain segregated based on income, and racism still exists in many forms.

Minority children still face inequality in school spending and are being disproportionately hurt by the accountability aims of Bush's No Child Left Behind Act (search), he said.

"On our present course, we are formalizing two school systems: one filled with middle-class children, most of them white, and the other filled with low-income minorities," Bond said.

I hope you're not stealing bandwidth from Target, bobboi :lol

too funny!!!

someone reported me to target, and they killed the link!!

Now I have to find a cool new target picture

[CheezieDanish]

Bullshit, really? :lol Hilarious.

You know it's not very nice to steal bandwidth from someone who pays a hell of a lot for it - unless they are lucky enough to get unlimited bandwidth... still.

I hope you've learned your lesson and have uploaded that BIG-ASSED UGLY TARGET to your own image host, pal.

[Atenhotep]

Nobody gives a shit about you bobboi, certainly not enough to spend however long it would take to "report you to Target"

You were stealing bandwidth. That catches up to you.

Maybe you're not so much a "target" as you are a whining, crying infant?

"Target" makes it sound like everyone just attacks you, the truth is you need this as your avatar:

http://www.dalryba.ru/rp/archive/2002/39/crying%20baby.jpg

Really, it is the most honest representation of your posts.

Anyway, why didn't you just download the target image to your computer then upload it Daav's server?

Since you'll want to keep blaming everyone rather than be a man and take responsibility here's some other possibilities for you:

OR

But really, to be truly accurate you need the crying baby.

SERIOUSLY.

OK, I changed it just for you...

Since I noticed you were honest and posted a picture of the "Jerk" as yours.

[Atenhotep]

"The new phone books are here!!! The new phone books are here!!!!!!!"

Bobboi, they'll cut you off too though.

You need to upload the image to Daavros' server here from your computer.

Save the image to your computer then upload it.

haha.. I love that movie

[lily]

Sorry Aten. I've been keeping score and on this one bobboi won

OK, I changed it just for you...

Since I noticed you were honest and posted a picture of the "Jerk" as yours.
