New Low for Hanoi John

POTUS wannabe John Kerry's political tailspin continues, as he has now surpassed fellow self-obsessed loser Al Gore in the petulant sour grapes department by preposterously suggesting that President Bush be impeached.

Normally impeachment is reserved for Presidents who commit felonies while in office, like Bill Clinton. But W being morally damned near impeccable (he would have to be, to survive the desperate scrutiny he has been getting from the media for years), Kerry has to settle for the "crime" of offering Saddam's weapons of mass destruction as one of the many reasons to put an end to that nightmarish regime.

The absurd canard that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction can easily be disproved by the many accounts of his use of these weapons against Iranians and against his own people. Here is what Saddam's henchman Ali "Chemical Ali" Hassan al Majid had to say about their use against Iraqi Kurds:

I will strike with chemicals and kill them all. What is the international community going to say? The hell with them and the hell with any other country in the world that objects.

If I showed a monkey a banana, then hid the banana behind my back, my guess is that the monkey would not be so stupid as to think the banana never existed. We have seen the WMDs used. Therefore they existed. If there is anyone out there who can't follow that reasoning, leave a comment and I'll try to explain it using shorter words.

Where are the WMDs now? Try the Bekaa Valley.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, perhaps this one will help settle the surreal "were there weapons of mass destruction" debate:

This is what President Bush has strived to prevent from happening to more children — including American children — in the future. For that, the paragon of moral righteousness John Kerry would have him impeached.

Won't it be a relief to the parents of these children (assuming any of the parents are alive) that in the alternate reality inhabited by Kerry and his MSM friends, the WMDs used to do this to them never existed?

Kerry's justification for pretending that Bush deliberately mislead anyone regarding these supposedly nonexistent weapons is the Downing Street Memo, which some of the wackier denizens of the far Left would like to believe includes an admission by Tony Blair that President Bush deliberately distorted intelligence. As NewsMax points out, the memo "contains no quotes from either Bush or Blair, and is notably slim on evidence implicating Bush in a WMD cover-up."

Kerry, please, crawl back under your rock. You're not just disgracing the Democratic Party anymore. You're an embarrassment to the entire country. I would suggest immigrating to France, but I'm not sure they would have you.

Hat tip: Wiggins.

Does Kerry simply understand just how bad this makes him look? Or is Howard Dean the Emperor to Kerry's passion-blind Aniken? Who's pulling JFK's strings anyway, a guy wants to know.

Comparing Democrats to monkeys is a tasteless and gratuitous insult.

...to the monkeys, I mean.

Oooh! Oooh! Comparing democrats to monkeys. That's what I expect from the party of Cheney and Santorum. You made me really really mad, and now I have to clean off my monitor because in my rage and confusion I threw my feces at you.

Democrats don't care about victims of WMD... They don't care if they existed and are now missing... I don't even need to remind your readers of how often Kerry and the rest ALL said the WMD threat was real...

With nonsense like this, they continue to expose their craven desire for political power at any price and lash out at the one man who stands in their way...

Fortunately for our side, MOST people get it... and the ones who don't are still struggling with the meaning of the word "is." I had a tag team gang of these in denial neosocialists commenting on Mike's America yesterday....

They keep whining, we keep winning and the best retort is:

FOUR MORE YEARS!!!

Liberal Girlyman forgot that he's supposed to sue Van Helsing for making him mad enough to throw feces at the screen...now sue for pain and suffering, the damage to your moniter, the fact that your kids were watching, more pain and suffering, blah, blah, blah.

What a great post, Van Helsing. Your "take" on things is unique, I always learn something coming over here, and you never disappoint~you always make it quite entertaining and fun. And so do your commenters!

Kerry at this point is scoffed at by most democrats. His time has come and gone as far as representing the mainline of Democratic thinking. That would no doubt beg the question, "What then is the new mainline of Democratic thinking?" I would offer that it would best be characterized by John Conyers and his efforts. Why do you waste time and effort to slander and bash Kerry? Didn't the swifties do a good enough job of that? Kerry's biggest problem in the election was that he was too much like Bush and was petrified of saying anything that might show that he had any real solid coherent stand on any issue. If he would've had the balls to stick by his own convictions (whatever they may have been) he might have had a fighting chance at winning the election in spite of Blackwell and all the others who helped Bush steal the election again. As far as your psychobabble about WMDs, THEY HAVEN'T FOUND ANY!!) It seems incredible that you conveniently omit that minor fact. And I find it curious that you make a case stating the existence of WMDs that were used more than 10 years prior to W's immoral and illegal invasion, all the while exhibiting a seeming amnesia of the fact that those WMDs given to Saddam so that we might wage war by proxy against Iran and that those same WMDS which were in large part provided by America, were then used by Saddam in the genocide of the Kurds after we withdrew in the 1st Gulf War. This is after the US encouraged the Kurds to rise up against Saddam and then by Papa Bush's non action, he allowed the genocide to happen. Clinton was no better in his allowing Genocide either. I don't only criticize along party lines. I find it fair to call it like I see it after having weighed evidence from both sides. But, it would seem anyone with one iota of objective scrutiny and the capacity for honest appraisal would be hard pressed to comfortably claim that Bush did not knowingly utilize false info to go to war w/ Iraq. The chimp was drooling to go in there. PNAC is evidence alone by it's existince as to the motives of Bush and the Neocons. And please, please don't lay out this bogus humanitarian claim that Bush is looking to save the Iraqi people from the horrors of the Bathists and Saddam. Over 100,000 Iraqis killed and maimed, many of whom were innocent women and childeren since Bush took his eye off the ball on the WOT. There are many horrific pictures of gruesome injuries to innocent women and children which were perpetrated by the US. What we did in Fajullah was not a humanitarian act of liberation and the spreading of Democracy. One does not need to be Karnack the magnificent to see that the Downing Street Memo constitutes some semblance of implication as to the Bush Administrations pursuing a policy of fixing cherry picked and erroneous evidence to substantiate going into Iraq. To purport that questioning the Downing Street memo is preposterous is completely and utterly indicative of having a serious disconnect from reality as your buddy Guckert/ Gannon would say. Look, Kerry is certainly a complete noodnick, but that isn't to say that all Democrats are the same. If Bush is so squeaky clean, why doesn't he adress the questions posed by Conyers and the others who have written him and asked him repeatedly to clear up the questions which are raised by the Downing Street Memo? Let me guess, the president should be above that and not have to answer to the lunatic left. Kerry at this point is of little or no significance. You ought to have the courage to take a hard look at the implications of the actions and policy of W who is doing things which will affect future generations of America in an adverse way. The fact that people were demonstrating against America overseas had nothing to do with the Newsweek story. Myers even said as much. Bush has helped to foment the most intense hatred towards America that we have ever seen. Any feeling of compassion felt towards America as a result of 911 has been squandered and then some by the people of this country allowing this insane bunch of cretins we call the Bush administration have its way without having to answer to anyone. So, I would recommend that if you are wanting to concentrate your efforts against those who present an alternative to W and his administration, I'd stop wasting your time on Kerry and worry about people such as John Conyers who represents a growing suspicion by many Americans that the Bush Administration hasn't been honest with respect to the War On Terror and our involvement in Iraq.

Zeke, I'm glad that we can at least agree that Kerry is a complete noodnick. Thanks also for admitting that Saddam had WMD and used them against his own people. But if John Conyers represents the new mainline of democratic thinking, the party is deteriorating into a bad joke even faster than I thought. By the way, did they ever find out what his staff did with those Thanksgiving turkeys they apparently stole from charity?

Reading that one comment wasted 5 minutes of my life that I now want back...

I challenge anyone here to show me any quote of Kerry's saying he would seek impeachment, demand impeachment, or even mentioned impeachment in the same sentence with the Prez's name.

He's RAISING the issue, people. It's one that should be raised.

And as far as the tin foil hat wearer above who thinks WMDs are "missing" -- President Bush himself has officially admitted they weren't in Iraq after 1998.

Get with your party's program! The official GOP line now is there were NO WMDs.

Posted by: Randy Case at June 6, 2005 1:22 PM

Clinton said there were WMD in Iraq in 1998.
Congress Congress passed the Liberation of Iraq Act in 1998. The senate vote 98-0. Byrd called for Clinton to take action and quit rattling sabers.
In 2002, Byrd said there were chemical weapons there and that we had some sort of list of them because we "gave" them to Saddam.
We are at war. Calls for impeachment aid the enemy. it's that simple

As to "100,000" killed -- a lie based on of all things a telephone survey by a Johns Hopkins medical doctor, not a statistician.
Meanwhile, more than 300,000 bodies were found in mass graves from the Saddam regime. NYT and others ignore this
Come to think of it, when was the last time 9/11 footage was on TV?
Don't let liberal liars intimidate you
