Who Cares About WMD's
Are those skeletons the 250,000 people Saddam killed over the course of 20 years, or the 100,000 we're responsible for since 2003?

I don't remember how, but I recently stumbled upon a Conservative Web Log and came across an interesting quote from Senator John Kerry. Here it is:
"We use that word 'terrorist' to marginalize and demonize people whose way of expressing ideas is culturally different from ours," said Mr. Kerry. "But when a man takes up the scimitar to behead an innocent civilian, or straps on the exploding vest for a walk through the marketplace, he's just passionately stating his philosophy. Who are we to judge his methods?"
I was shocked and confused. I thought to myself, how can a Senator of the United States and a veteran of the Vietnam war say something like that? I thought to myself, maybe the way liberals and Democrats manage to find questionable quotes about Bush and the like, that Conservatives perhaps can manage to find just as equally questionable quotes by Democrats and liberals. Maybe I'll be more enlightened to such things if I read their blogs more. I actually found myself agreeing with Conservatives (a very scary thought). I obviously didn't agree with everything they said, but I found it a lot harder to defend my viewpoint in light of these new revelations about the sentiments of my former candidate. They said things like:
"Liberal Democrats equal Intellectual Morons. That says it all." - Con #2
"As much of an a**hat as he is, I can't believe kerry said that.
I read yesterday that he hoped the media doesn't "hype" the election; make more of it than it 'really' is. What a buzzkill that man is; the antithesis of joy... and more - a man who commiserates with terrorists." - Con #3
