This maybe nothing but..... Hannity is taking Kerry's comments

[wisteria]

about going to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as a subliminal threat to kill Bush. Personally, I didn't take it that way and that thought never crossed my mind when he mentioned it. I thought it was just in line with Mahers comment suggestion he should have skipped VT and headed straight to NH, then Kerry said something like, why not go straight to 1600.....

I know it is Hannity, but Repubs listen to this jerk and believe what he says. Hannity is calling for Kerry to apologize.

1. That's a bizarre interrpretation

I took as you did.

4. remember, this is Hannity

he has an agenda . it has nothing to do with misunderstanding on Hannity's part.

2. I agree, I had no doubt he was speaking figuratively. n/t

3. Hannity is pathetically bringing up anything in order to take attention

away from right wingers who have broken the law and actually harmed people. like bringing up Monica and claiming she was 19 when with Clinton when discussing Foley's going after underage pages.

North Korea has tested a nuke, Iraq is a mess, people are dyibng because of the administration's policies. and this ignorant fucker wants to bring up some nonsense.

of course the Republicans will believe the ignorant ass. they WANT to believe it. what we need to do is call them out for what they are doing.

5. I think this might be better simply virtually "shaking your head

It was in response to Kill 2 birds, where the 2 birds essentially are tasks or goals. it was perhaps a bit over the edge - but there's no way to infer what he did. It should die a quick death, with the Folley scandal clealy a sexier story.

The saving grace is that it goes against the Republican approved theme. John Kerry is NOT funny. Remember how many people here posted that he was funny as if it were a suprise. The tone of voice and the appearance absolutely discount it. Kerry has to be careful, but no way does this seem anything but a way to try to change the subject.. from Foley, North Korea, Iraq in flames, NIE, Ralston stepping down.

6. i guess it's similar to the shooting Quayle joke he made

years before he ran for Pres. as you say it was clearly a joke.

i think they might have been able to use it against him if things were different. but they have made such a mess that most people wouldn't think much of it now. especially with Cheney actually having shot a guy.

8. You would also need a REAAAALLLLY slow news day

to even include this. When you see posts like storyteller's commenting the clip was good, without saying something, I don't see the problem.

11. Exactly! Think about Bush's torture policy and Abu Ghraib.

Remember when Kerry said that they were allowing soliders to terrorize Iraqi families! The wingnuts jumped on that to divert attention from the real issues!

Now is a good time to revisit the moral issue:

Lower standards help Army recruit more

By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer Mon Oct 9, 7:34 PM ET

Snip...

About 17 percent of the first-time recruits, or about 13,600, were accepted under waivers for various medical, moral or criminal problems, including misdemeanor arrests or drunk driving. That is a slight increase from last year, the Army said.

Of those accepted under waivers, more than half were for "moral" reasons, mostly misdemeanor arrests. Thirty-eight percent were for medical reasons and 7 percent were drug and alcohol problems, including those who may have failed a drug test or acknowledged they had used drugs.

This is big news given the situation in Iraq!

7. Killing a bird with a stone is not a literal expression.

Everyone knows that. Hannity must be even dumber than we gave him credit for.

9. Hannity needs to apologize to Kerry!

Did Maher's comment mean he planned on killing a couple of people in NH?

Bush is a failure as a president and the cliche was appropriate. In fact, Bush should be impeached! That is the reality, but even that wasn't the implication of Kerry's statement, which in fact was a cliche!

Someone should put Hannity's ass on the spot and demand that he apologize! He's a disgrace!

12. Probably better that it just die a natural death

Kerry's comment, in context, was clearly not threathening - the danger to the RW is that people she the whole interview - Kerry was smart, funny and focused. I'm not surprised he's trying - anything to change the topic.

10. A troll mentioned this on JK's blog last night.

He(?)wasn't very specific with his comments, but said he had heard JK calling for the assassination of * on FOX. I wasn't quite sure what the hell he was talking about but this must be it. The poster also said he was a Democrat who vote for Kerry in '04. Yeah, right.

13. Calling for ther assination of Bush? I don't believe the gullibility of

people, I really don't. Hannity said it so it must be true.
