John Kerry is a condescending prick
Listen to the contempt he expresses for the men and women who wear our Nation’s uniform:
You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Allah has the audio.

From the comments at the link above:
… what would such a statement mean concerning a senator who voted to authorize the war in the first place?

The Astute Bloggers:
The all-volunteer Armed Forces are the most educated and intelligent this country has EVER had. And yet Jean-Francois Kerry still characterizes military service — the courageous and voluntary sacrifice of time, effort, blood, and sometimes life itself — as a punishment for the uneducated and stupid.
He is the stupid one. When splashed on the front pages over 30 years ago, it was by maliciously and falsely accusing American soldiers of war crimes that rivaled Genghis Khan. He hasn’t changed a bit. Any conservative who thinks that the interests of America will be served by returning Jean-Francois Kerry’s party to power is stupid, too. (Link)

Hugh Hewitt:
Keep in mind he was the Democratic Party nominee, and keep in mind that the Democratic leadership and the MSM shares this contempt, but are usually much better at disguising it.
Well, remember that whole thing about Bush joking around on “Oh, no WMDs here.” What Kerry said wasn’t right, but I don’t think that it’s right that he gets all of this negative attention when the PRESIDENT makes a joke about getting the country into a war over something that never exsisted.
