Another sign John Kerry doesn’t understand the war on terror. He thinks of it as a “nuisance.”
In Washington, Republican Party chief Ed Gillespie criticized Kerry for saying in an interview in The New York Times Magazine that, “We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance.” He appeared to equate terrorism to prostitution and illegal gambling, saying they can be reduced but not ended.
Senator Kerry, this is more than a “nuisance”:
Update: A Small Victory has a list of terrorist attacks going back to 1979 and asks Kerry which attack he’d consider a nuisance.

I don’t hate anybody but it urks me that this line can still be used today. Don’t read into that to much, I just think there are issues today that need addressing.

Personally, I thought this topic has been over-abused. Sure, most of the African Americans in this nation have had their ancestors pick cotten, but have they personally picked cotten? I don’t believe that anybody deserves anything based on the premise that somebody wronged their family (relatively far) in the past. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody posts something contradicting my statement, with no evidence, and they somehow get around to calling me names.

Oh, I forgot to mention in my previous post: When Kerry said that all of those votes were purged, did he say they were done intentionally because of race? As far as I know, he implied it, but never said it.

Can you imagine the uproar if Bush had used a phrase like “your hands once picked cotton?”
He’s still spouting that nonsense that a million blacks were disenfranchised, votes not counted in the last election. Several studies show that didn’t happen; Kerry’s pandering for the black conspiracy nut vote.

The worst part is he’ll likely get it.
