Kerry the Hunter??
Yes, it’s true. Right in the middle of the home stretch of a close Presidential election, one of the two candidates took a few hours out of his busy campaign schedule…to don camouflage fatigues and go hunting!
I can understand this; between hunting geese with prominent donors and stumping for votes with less than two weeks left before the election, I would go hunting every time. But Kerry?? With only 10 days left before the election??
This is the most blatant put up job photo-op since John Kerry’s former boss Mike Dukakis decided on a whim to take a ride around town in a tank with battle gear on. And, when you think about it, it is pretty much the same thing: a desperate candidate trying at the last minute to create an image of himself that is clearly a false persona. What American with an IQ above 50 does not see right through this? I mean why not just fly to Hollywood and let Spielberg film him machine gunning terrorists? Only the incredibly stupid are going to believe it anyway…
What still has me scratching my head is: what did Kerry possibly think he was going to gain by this stunt, other than looking like a play-acting fool? Does he really think ANY NRA member is going to vote for him? Was he trying to distance himself from animal rights activists? Is he trying yet again to remind us that he spent 4 months in Vietnam before bugging out with faked Purple Heart situation reports?
Discriminations discusses this matter at length. Michelle Malkin gives us her take.
