Go Figure, John Kerry’s ‘Dissent’ Today Confuses Some Bloggers
by Pamela LeaveyThey’ll twist anything to have it there way…
When John Kerry spoke out about Joe Lieberman on ‘This Week’ today, he spoke out because Lieberman is “making a Republican case,” and “adopting the rhetoric of Dick Cheney,” on the issue of Iraq. Kerry spoke out not only about Lieberman but the Republican “stay the course” rhetoric. In a word, what Kerry said today was classic “dissent” against Iraq and the current administration.
I rarely quote the right-wing nutjobs in the blogosphere but this is a wild claim from right wing blog Decision ‘08 — “In John Kerry’s world, there is no room for dissent on Iraq…”
Sorry Decision ‘08, but you can’t have it both ways. Kerry’s entire interview today with George Stephanopoulos was all about “dissent” — “dissent” against an administration out of control, a president who has overstepped his authority over and over again.

Well, in the world a lot of liberals live in, there is no room for intelligent dissent on Iraq.
We keep fighting the battle in the hope that some day, the ignorant and irrational will finally be shut down by the enlightened.
I wasn’t responding to the blog Pamela is responding to, but I do have a recent blog entry at Liberal Values which shows John Kerry dissenting on Iraq and other aspects of Bush’s foreign policy–dating back to after 9/11 when other Democrats were afraid to stand up to Bush.
