Ask the 9-11 Widows and Orphans what they think about Kerrey. Ask them how Kerrey betrayed them, threw them under the bus and did not honor his promises to them.

Kerrey is the lowest form of life in the democratic party. DLC slime that sticks to the bottom of your shoe.

Smears? Obama's PARENTS named him Hussein, not Kerrey. Obama and his partisans are the biggest bunch of p*ssies in the party.

And anybody who wants to slander Kerrey or say he betrayed anybody ought to cut off a leg first. Otherwise you don't have the right.

We've been through this before.

To be honest, his words make me like Obama a little more than I did before because I'm not crazy about him but it WOULD be nice if a President was kicking the nicotine habit and helping others- they way smokers are demonized these days- he would have more compassion- and it might help in our relations with Islamic countries- he could say 'look, we're not trying to destroy you- my own grandfather was a muslim- let's work this out.'  Of course I would not suggest that as something he should promote because people are too emotional about those issues to think it through like that and it's too late to start a new tact on it all- but you know- what Kerrey says has some truth to it but it's probably not something less sophisticated people can discuss rationally.

sorry, but did you expect Obama's background to stay a secret?  If not, what's the problem?  How is a man's name and family history a smear?
Obama seems to have moved on, I suggest his supporters do the same.

"I really admire Hillary. She showed such grace while her husband was playing with cigars and interns in the Oval Office. During all the years that Bill was having sex outside their marriage, she was always calm and poised in public. The ability to stand by her husband while he was betraying her can be a lesson to all women who have been in the same situation."

Well obviously there are a bunch of rules the "he who must not be named"'s supporters have for everybody:

1. We must not mention his middle name
   
2. We must not mention he has muslim relatives
   
3. We must not mention that he lived in a muslim country
   
4. We must not mention that he used drugs.
   
5. We must not talk about his background at all because it is seen as a negative by "he who must not be named"s supporters.

Okay, I gotcha.

Of course, these same supporters think that the GOP will be delivering flowers any day right?

Smoking?  You actually put smoking on the list of "slimeball politics"?

IF a Republican had been doing what Clinton is doing, folks would be up in arms. But, a Southern Strategy, is still a Southern Strategy, whether in Mississippi, Georgia, or in this case, Iowa and New Hampshire.

STILL contains the same odious racist underbelly.

this is some loony ass shit

man it must be WILD to be Krazy!!

There's nothing wrong with talking about the fact that he lived in a Muslim country as a child and may have learned some things there about the Islamic religion and society.

Kerrey's slime is in his inaccurate use of the word madrassa. Obama never attended a madrassa, he attended a government-run, secular, public elementary school. Only a dolt would be unaware of the negative connotations of the word madrassa in post 9/11 America.

It's OK though, the more America sees HRC trying to make political hay out of supposed "dirt" from Barack Obama's kindergarten days, the more ridiculous and desperate she looks.

I'm a die-hard Obamaniac, but I'm also a Nebraska Democrat and most of us know Bob Kerrey well enough to see this for what it is: his penchant for thinking outside the box and shooting from the hip getting him in trouble again.  I don't believe there's a drop of malice in his statements, bizzare as they may seem.  Although I do think he's proving his own point when he talks about "secular maddrassas" and stuff like that: your typical American white-guy (and thus your typical president) just doesn't "get it" when it comes to Islam.  Wouldn't hurt to have someone that does.

holy crap, how naive do you have to be to believe the series of muslim baiting coming out the clinton campaign isn't an attack?

what are they then? a series of unintended coincidential events? yeah, that's the ticket.
