Kerry Reminds me of Lincoln. You?

[seventhson]

Poll question: Kerry Reminds me of Lincoln. You?

It is the angularity of his face. His gawky height. The kindness and seriousness in his eyes. The determination.

Does anyone else get that from seeing him lately?

[JohnKleeb]

1. He does resemble him

though I like and admire him, he is no Lincoln.

[charlie]

2. He's inheriting a fractured union n/t

[seventhson]

15. No Shit! My Ancestors fought both sides in that North/South corporate war

But this time I think we ALL oppose the Bush machine!

[Zynx]

3. A little bit, yeah.

[daveskilt]

4. lurch from the addams family

[Dr Fate]

6. I remember when Rush used to play the Addams Family theme...

...to introduce Kerry bits on his show.

Ha.

That was funny.

Not.

[seventhson]

18. Where'd you cop that Skull anyway?

You know I wonder where all the Skulls come from.

Where did this one come from?

Your special swastika skull?

Your design?

19. It was a poster from the 1972 campaign

There's a picture of it in the paperback version of "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" by Hunter S. Thompson. That's the first place I saw it.

[Dr Fate]

23. That's right...

...a harmless Hunter S. Thompson (Liberal Political editorialist) reference...

But everything has a shadowy, hyper-symbolic overtone in Seventhson's world...

[Dr Fate]

25. I thought this was a Kerry thread, why are you attacking me?

I thought this was a thread that was comparing two great statesmen- what gives, fellow Democrat?

[seventhson]

27. I'm cool. I always admired that logo

All I wondered about was its origin

No attack at all.

[Dr Fate]

30. Gotcha.

And all of your untrue & unproven smears against Kerry for the past year were all in good fun as well.

The phrase "your special swashtika skull" indicates that you are now trying to BS me.

Just because I think your posts are entertaining, in a William Cooper kind of way, does not mean I am fooled by them...

[daveskilt]

29. sorry that just who I thought of first when i thought of Kerry

I always liked lurch though :) also kerry is no lincoln. maybe one day but not yet.

on edit



what is really freaking me out is how much lurch looks like my dad.

[seventhson]

16. YUUUOOOOOOGGGGHHHHH RAAAAAAANG?

Lurch was Prettier than Kerry or Lincoln though

[Dr Fate]

26. Ha. Rush thought it was funny too!!!

In fact, I that is where I first heard that joke.

Looks like this thread is a thinly veiled effort for superficial attacks on Kerry.

I really prefer the comic-book Hellfire Club/secret society stuff, much more entertaining...

[T Roosevelt]

5. I always get this image

Must be the jaw...

[Exgeneral]

7. Jackson

Look at this guy, it's a dead ringer:


JOHN KERRY with no hair dye!

[kdmorris]

8. I thought that was Jackson

And that Hamilton was the guy on the $5 bill. (Edit: Lincoln is on the $5, Hamilton is on the $10, and I'm obviously too tired to play tonight! :D)

:shrug:

(But yes, Kerry does remind me very much of Andrew Jackson)

[Exgeneral]

9. Lincoln is on the five

Hamilton is on the....?

[Robb]

10. Ten. nt

[kdmorris]

11. DOH! Must be the $10

Dang I wish I actually had some cash right now

[prodigal_green]

12. Please lord NO!

My Cherokee grandma would spin in her grave if anybody even remotely resembling Jackson in any way were to win.

[no name no slogan]

13. .....you rang?

[Dr Fate]

14. Rush used the same joke!

He's funny.

[AntiCoup2K4]

17. First people call this guy "JFK", now "Lincoln"

Are you trying to get him killed or what? :wtf:

[seventhson]

21. Look - if the Bush Family Evil Empire Wishes Kerry Dead - He will be Dead

BUT (and it is a Big Butt)

The fact is that if Bush and Cheney and their Cronies TOUCH Kerry - there will be a Revolution in this country.

Even the CIA wants Bush OUT of the White House
That is an observation. not a threat. Just what my assessment is.

[finecraft]

20. Hey....that's on my sig line!

And don't forget....bush* looks like a chimp!

[seventhson]

24. Very Kool, but I didn't think of it first!

I guess what goes around comes around. Like bad primates.

[NoPasaran]

22. Show me Kerry with a beard

Until then I have to go with Lurch

[WilliamPitt]

28. God bless you, seventhson

:toast:

[The Magistrate]

31. There Is A Certain Resemblance, Mr. Son

Sen. Kerry definitely has a face that could be blended into a Brady print without detection....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[moondust]

32. Stature.

Lincoln had it. Kerry's got it.

[RetroLounge]

48. Yes, we should vote based on good posture

34. He started out as a whig

In 1834, he went to the Illinois legislature as a Whig and became the party's floor leader. For the next 20 years he practiced law in Springfield, except for a single term (1847–49) in Congress, where he denounced the Mexican War. In 1855, he was a candidate for senator and the next year he joined the new Republican Party.

[patricia92243]

35. Civil War took place during Lincoln time - if you want to win the south,..

drop the Lincoln stuff.

[NicRic]

36. Look deeper, Kerry looks like Kerry !

He is his own man, and as President he wil have his own decisons to make .This is simply a shallow thread dicussing,the appearance of someone on the outside ,when we all know ,whats on the inside that really matters ! The repugs luv this kind of shallow way of chosing a President, because bush is as shallow as they come !

[seventhson]

49. It is not just the looks - it is his demeanor and rugged determination

that reminds me of Lincoln.

Physical similarities aside, there IS something about his stature and carriage.

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. He doesn't remind me of anyone in particular. There is only

one Lincoln. :hi:

[DemBones DemBones]

38. Yes, Kerry reminds me of Lincoln, though I think he is

much better looking than Lincoln was. Of course I don't mean to imply anything about either man's intelligence, character, or leadership in saying one is better looking. I think Kerry has the capacity to serve us well in the presidency -- it wil be great to have a president again, won't it?! Possibly, John Kerry will rise to become a great president like Lincoln. He will certainly have great problems to surmount, likely as great as those Lincoln had to overcome. We may in fact see another civil war in this country, if the right doesn't stop its hate-mongering. Most of us on the left aren't interested in making people hate each other. We just want to get the country back on the right track. It's the right wing that has always fomented anger and hate, even carrying out lynchings and other terroristic acts such as firebombing the Olympics Centennial Park in Atlanta, the Oklahoma Cuty bombing, and so on. The left has seldom engaged in violence or destruction apart from civil disobedience like pouring blood on draft board files, has been more inclined to marches, sit-ins, etc.

39. I thought Lincoln was a Republican

although the Republican party was different in those days.

[surfermaw]

40. I am from two Southern states ,and the Lincoln thing doesn't bother me

I think it is true that Kerry's looks are similar to Lincoln, I see a poised man, with kind eyes, and the eyes tell the story for me,Clinton was a kind man..that was what attracted people to him and likewise Kerry.

[THUNDER HANDS]

41. it's kinda hard to compare him to lincoln if he doesn't have a beard

And I think Kerry smiles more than Lincoln did. Has anyone ever seen a photo of Lincoln smiling?

[AntiCoup2K4]

42. If you were President during the Civil War...

...would you have much to smile about?

[THUNDER HANDS]

44. yeah

the fact that I wasn't fighting IN it.

:)

[Cocoa]

43. did Lincoln have an intern scandal?

when I think of Kerry, I think of his intern scandal.

[Hav]

45. oh really?

Kerry's intern scandal...:eyes:

[AngryAmish]

46. I hope not

Lincoln always reminded me of "The Tall Man" from Phantasm.

[BringEmOn]

47. Shazam!

[MadHound]

50. Kerry as Lincoln, Puhleeze!

Neither in looks or politics is Kerry close to Lincoln, all this is is synchophantic Kerry worship. Lincoln wasn't a corporate whore either, he was actually a leader.

[tinanator]

51. no kiddin

not too much in common, other than war maybe?
This desperate Kerry polishing is going to backfire.

[Fleshdancer]

53. they're both tall. that's the only similarity I see n/t

[Fleshdancer]
