#17  Oh.... Lordy. I remember a rather bizzare number of Nat. Lamp that featured a story of Rural Free Love.... I need to see that double truck illustration... My selective memory is putting jFk in harness, with blinders... a sort of TH Benton painting.

#15  Shipman: I really didn't need that visual image. Noe I'm gonna have to go watch a hog killin' to get it out of my brain. My apologies to Mucky. That is a Southern thing. It doesn't mean I will actually go watch one, it just means The visual image is almost as bad as watching a hog killin'. My apologies also to Elsbeth the Pig.

#14  Geez I hope you didn't take my comment seriously. Adding a disclaimer to every statement is such a copout (and not fun at all).

#13  The VIEWER. It's just silly that there are 13 comments, and counting, many taking a photograph that is merely a depth perception gag seriously, lol!

#12  You mean Kerry, or the photographer?
Posted by: Rafael   2004-07-05 1:52:00 PM  

#11  That some people have no depth perception?

#10  The American flag in the background is what makes this image eerily powerful. There's gotta be a story there somewhere. Kerry under an American flag...looking up at it...holding a shotgun...while someone else points a shotgun at his head. What could it all mean???

#9  Do you think he plowed nude Deacon?

#8  Tthis is a good example of how mendacious Kerry is. He claims to support the 2nd Ammendment but has voted for EVERY piece of gun control legislation that has come up. He was recorded, in a speach to some farmers, that he understood and identified with the "working man" because when he was 12 he stayed on a farm for a short while and rode a tractor.The man has never done a true hard day's work in his life. I wonder if the tractor he was driving was pulling a manure spreader because he certainly learned how to spread a lot of manure.

#7  I agree with James. This one isn't very funny, especially in light of the ACTUAL death threats Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, and GWB have gotten from the LLLs in recent months.

The pic of Kerry I'd most like to see involves him crying with his head down after November 2nd.

#6  If there were a similar pic of Dubya, we would still be hearing about in 2012 (unless the LLL has somehow disappeared by then). They would be saying, "hey, the dipweed loves the NRA but he doesn't even know to take his finger off the trigger."

#5  Good grief, James....... LIGHTEN UP, DUDE! It's just a picture....taken by some liberal asshat, no doubt. You can clearly see the guy with the shotgun "shouldered", is clearly 3 or 4 paces in the foreground from kerry.

#4  OldSpook - I saw another picture of him at this "event" (read: photo op) doing the same thing. Of course the LLL media are too clueless to catch it, and if they did, they wouldn't report it.

What a clueless idiot.

#3  Why the heck is his finger still in the trigger housing? Violating range safety.


This is almost as pathetic as the Al Gore Veitnam photo that has his head straight over the barrel of his M-16.

#2  James, nobody's pointing a gun at Kerry; Kerry's standing beside (further away from the camera) the guy shooting. The other guy is in a firing stance (I think they're shooting skeet); it's just an optical illusion, probably due to a long lens on the camera.

The expression on Kerry's face because he missed his shot is telling. Guess he couldn't figure out how to blame it on the Secret Service.

Actually, I don't enjoy that kind of thing. I don't like Kerry, don't judge that he has been good for the country, and certainly don't want him as president. But pointing guns at him, or pretending to, is over the top as far as I'm concerned.
