Hannity so afraid of Kerry, is now publicly rooting for Edwards

[59millionmorons]

This is so funny listening to his show rooting for Edwards to win SC and OK in a desperate hope that Kerry wont win the Dem nomination. I LOVE IT they are shaking in there boots.

1. The AWOL story has big legs and Hannity knows it.

John Kerry can challenge * with the veterans and military families.

"Hitler Hannity" is scared because he knows that people are finnaly waking up to the realities of the right wing.

[Phelan]

5. I'm worried about Kerry's protesting past coming back to haunt him

He did throw his purple hearts away infront of a crowd and marched with 'Hanoi Jane' in a march that uniformed veterans were characterized as baby killers. I'm sure the Rove spin machine will have a field day.

7. No No

He threw his ribbons away.

[Straight Shooter]

21. No, not quite right

Unless my source is wrong, from his book The New Soldier, apparently he did throw medals away, then claimed they belonged to someone else, but that it was an "accident" that he threw that soldier's medals away.

K's medals are now hanging proudly, and politically, in his Senate office.

Whatever works for you, Kerry :shrug:

[Webster Green]

16. Good for him!

Good patriotic anti Vietnam war protester. So what?

The baby killer stuff is pure bullshit. How do you know? Were you there? I attended all the marches, and I didn't see any of that.

The Hanoi Jane crap is the same as repukes saying that pacifist human sheilds in Iraq supported Sadaam.

I suspect you are too young to actually remember what went on during the time of the Vietnam war.

18. Who's going to complain the flock of chickenhawks?

Nah. They will go after his voting record for voting against weapon systems.....but really, how is that going to fly in the face of a $400BB defense budget and an enemy of a few hundred cave dwellers?

[NNN0LHI]

22. Listen. A man who spills his blood on the battlefield for this country...

...has more than earned the right to protest. Anyone who says different is either not thinking clearly or more than likely too much of a coward to go into combat themselves.

2. Yep. Freepers are nervous as hell:

Agreed but Kerry isnt going to allow himself to be "Dukakized" or make really huge errors like Mondale and McGovern. He wont be a pushover like the other liberals were. Although there is some truth to the idea that Gore has more charisma than Kerry, its not going to take much to get Democrats out to vote in November. They have a real hatred for Bush and they will crawl through broken glass to get to the polls. Doesnt mean they are smart enough to figure out the ballot but that's another story. Oh why did Dean and Clark have to implode? 49 state landslide sounded so good.

I'm not saying Bush is going to lose, I think he's going to win. It's just not going to be easy, because IMHO he's the most polarizing figure to his enemies in the history of the republic, and his enemies ... which I'd imagine, in this divided country, would be a solid 45 percent of the electorate ... will crawl naked over broken glass to vote against him. What we felt toward Clinton, what the left felt toward Nixon is nothing compared to what Bush's enemies today feel toward him.

3. Hannity is afraid of Kerry?????

Sorry, but I can't imagine why.

[Straight Shooter]

4. Why would he root for someone even the WH is afraid of?

See the latest issue of The Economist. Edwards concerns Rove a lot more than Kerry does.

Maybe Hannity likes Edwards and doesn't like Kerry. Maybe he wants to split the camp. Maybe he didn't get the memo. :shrug:

[dolstein]

6. A lot of Democrats are rooting for Edwards

It's beginning to sound like all the Clark supporters are reading from the same script, trying to claim that Edwards it the pawn of the Republicans. Nice try, but Edwards' Democratic credentials are rock solid. And Edwards is a much greater threat to Bush than that liberal from Massachusetts.

[59millionmorons]

9. Your thinking to hard

Take it easy.

[mlawson]

12. They had better start VOTING for him, then, and ignore the.

Dem establishment's annointing of Kerry. I am vaguely hopeful for the results tonight, but I fear that Kerry's huge advantages will just be too much for Edwards.

[THUNDER HANDS]

8. I'm sure they fear both Kerry and Edwards

and probably pee their panties at the thought of facing both of them on the same ticket.

[HFishbine]

10. What they fear most

is having to justify a second term for Bush.

[THUNDER HANDS]

14. yes

that too :D

[WiseMen]

11. The AWOL story will freeze the Rep "strong on defence" advantage

And Kerry doesn't have to say a thing. Just has to play his Ads
and let others "investigate" the matter.

Repubs are realy scared of this issue in the South and MidWest

[Old and In the Way]

19. AWOL + 9/11 Classroom = A leader?

Wait till we get a commercial of Bush in the classroom/with the WTC burning....and a clock fast motions 20 minutes in 60 seconds while he sits there.......no words, fade to black...."Bush Leadership?"

[lcordero]

13. Sorry dude

The only reason that they are cheering for Edwards is so that all of the Democrats can run out of money. Kerry is sticking to the "official" war story line if that means anything to you.

Your guy, Clark, has chosen to take a more honest approach so that's why he is drawing a lot of fire.

[Monte Carlo]

15. Hannity and his ilk think Kerry is current step in a progression...

... of front runners. They think that as soon as liberals experience a little scrutiny of their candidate in the national media, they quickly tire of their flavor-of-the-month. Cycle through them all in order to weaken them against Bush in the general election.

Being the fickle, undecisive liberals that we are, they push to hasten the progression, and I guess they figure Edwards to be the next. Learn what you can by what they say, but never take it at face value.

[Taeger]

17. But ...

Ben Stein declared that Edwards was the only true threat to Bush. If Kerry wins the primary and the White House, does he get Ben Stein's money????? ;-)

[Old and In the Way]

20. And Liberman thinks the Manchester Union Leader endorsement

was proof that he should be the Democratic nominee.....I haven't seen too many Republicans hoping that Kerry would be the choice, have you?

[TheDonkey]

23. Edwards is very conservative. He'd be the best democrat for them

of course besides (Lieberman)
