I wonder about Kerry also, but I wonder if what we heard is what he also heard, also how far away from Kerry was he, I think that there are disturbances all the time and was Kerry aware of what was happening, it would be nice if he would comment on what happened!.

What gutless, spineless, balls-free PUSSY! Such a craven hack!

This punk is a walking cocophony of screeching cats! I wouldn’t trust him to flush a pissy toilet with confidence. This bum has a record of leaving folks who have gone out on a limb for him out to die while he cuts to neutral and hides behind political correctitude. This jerk left Whoopi Goldberg hanging the same way, bringing about her demise with Slim Fast. All this bum is good at is taking the money before running for cover. He is a PUSSY!

This was so very disturbing,, what happened to this kid has happened everyday to war protesters, and other people who are questioning local politicians or police. I have seen people get arrested locally in Olympia Washington because the police started to get aggressive and man handling the person, and the person resisted because they did nothing wrong…Really this is a horrid sign of what’s going on and what’s to come?  Something has shifted, like civil liberties, we have none…Watching this kid scream for help and the total unwillingness of powerful people like Kerry to step in and end the police bully brutality tactics, I have no real clue why they even started this man handling…The officers need to be fired, and sued, I would put in a few buck to help with his legal defense. I was very very upset and Kerry is a total wimp, I don’t know what his problem was, maybe he was afraid the police would arrest him? This was very disturbing and crazy,, and really, Kerry is at the bottom of the list of people I feel are untrusworthy, have no internal convictions about social justice…He is pathetic, and I really will never like or believe in his credibility because of this…This was important,  what we saw are blatant violations of the kids civil liberties….

Sorry John Serry, you cannot be trusted. You had every opportunity to intervene on behalf of that young man. You simply chose not to do anything other than hear you talk.

Why not tell us, why the young man was shutdown for asking his very own question? Was he about to expose your willingness to allow Bush win a second term by turning you head to all the atrocities that plague the Floridian minority voters? Please tell us exactly what you were afraid of?

Kerry faltered badly.

Kerry may have had courage under fire once, but now?
