| Looks like this is the only defense Kerry's people have got against the claims about that lucky hat! Anti-Kerry Book Scribe Sorry for Slurs By JENNIFER C. KERR, Associated Press Writer One of the authors of a new anti-John Kerry book frequently posted comments on a conservative Web site describing Muslims and Catholics as pedophiles and Pope John Paul II as senile. Yeah? so this fellow shouldn't have been so perjorative. But the Catholic heirarchy has been so inane to the response of pedophile priests, and Islamism does have provisos for child brides. What does one expect in a chat room or a blog such as this when people vent frustrations. But as he prepared to launch the book, "Unfit for Command," Jerry Corsi apologized for the remarks in an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, saying they were meant as a joke and he never intended to offend anyone. He hasn't learned that the PC Totalitatian Police which have infected and control most major college campusus have a stupifying fear in what's in this book? This is their only defense against the truth. Unrelated attacks on those associated with the book. In chat room entry last year on freerepublic.com, Corsi writes: "Islam is a peaceful religion — just as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed." So? This is what fundamentalis Islam (at least 1/3 of all Moslems) believe. In another entry, he says: "So this is what the last days of the Catholic Church are going to look like. Buggering boys undermines the moral base and the lawyers rip the gold off the Vatican altars. We may get one more Pope, when this senile one dies, but that's probably about it." Sounds like other disheartened Catholics I know, though I am not Catholic.
Kerry seems to be practising Chginese Restaurant Catholocism. "I don't stand by any of those comments and I apologize if they offended anybody," Corsi said. The Kerry campaign called Corsi's Web chat postings disgusting. Particularly, since unfortunately, Kerry's press organs, namely NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN will tout theremarks like Pravda, and Izvestia toted the Communist party line in the old USSR. "President Bush should immediately condemn this sleazy book written by a virulent anti-Catholic bigot. It says something about the smear campaign against John Kerry that it has stooped to enlist a hatemonger," said campaign spokesman Chad Clanton. Don't you just love the phony righteous indignation? Calls to the Bush-Cheney campaign were not immediately returned. A little liberal spin by "Jennifer Kerr, AP Writer" As though if they don't respond in 30 seconds there is something amiss. What about the 48 hours of silence about Cambodia by Kerry's folks? "Unfit for Command," which goes on sale Wednesday, accuses the Democratic presidential nominee of lying about his decorated wartime record and betraying comrades by returning from Vietnam and alleging widespread atrocities by U.S. troops. The book claims that Kerry earned his Silver Star not in a barrage of enemy fire, but rather by killing a fleeing Viet Cong teenager. It also questions the three Purple Hearts that Kerry earned, saying that none was for serious injuries and two wounds were self-inflicted. According to medical records from his naval service, Kerry still has shrapnel in his thigh from a war injury. Maybe that's the reason he lost control of the snowboard and cursed the Secret Service agent in March. A suden pain. At least his behind had all the shrapnel removed. "I think it's important the country have the facts about John Kerry so that they can reach a reasonable decision," said co-author John O'Neill, who succeeded Kerry in command of a swift boat. O'Neill also is spokesman for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which began airing an anti-Kerry ad last week. However many of the outlets are feigning unavailability of the book until after the election. Hmmmmm Sorry for the length. This all needed to be said | |

| #4 "Islam is a peaceful religion — just as long as the women are beaten, the boys buggered and the infidels are killed." He shouldn't apologize for that. That's the most accurate description I've seen yet. Hell, I'm going to use that one with friends and family. |

| #3 Cyber-Sarge: You and I both know that this is now the excuse to finally get the story before the mainstream media (The Dems may have erred-Pandora's box may now be opened). With the so-called "equal treatment" of this fellow's minor written indiscretions, combined with the serious charges of Kerry's honesty about Cambodia. I think this chatroom stuff is gone in a couple of days. Cambodia is with us for awhile. |

| #1 Classic liberal ploy, divert/distort/deceive. No mention that he lied in the book. Only that he had some rants posted on Freep. He had nothing to apologize for, except for calling the Holy Father senile. |
