Marie-Antoinette: "Let them eat cake."
Evita Peron-Kerry: "Let them go naked."

"Clothing is wonderful, but let them [the victims of hurricanes] go naked for a while, at least the kids," said Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

Another gem from "if you disagree with my husband you're an idiot", Mrs. Marie-Antoinette Evita Peron-Kerry.

Marie Antoinette never said that, it was said 100 years earlier by Marie-Therese, the wife of Louis XIV

of course if you only pick wrotten cherries people will be inclined to chop down the tree

PARAGRAPH 1 instead of 2

Teresa Heinz Kerry, encouraging volunteers as they busily packed supplies Wednesday for hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean, said she was concerned the effort was too focused on sending clothes instead of essentials like water and electric generators.

AND
2nd part of quote he didnt add
"Water is necessary, and then generators, and then food, and then clothes."

is it just me or is food more important than electricity?


and of course people are giving clothes, everyone has old clothes they don't wear anymore it's a lot easier and cheaper to dig through a closet than it is to go buy extra food.

How does that saying go again.. right, I believe you just "pwned" Galtania ;)

that was a horrible attempt at still trying to bash the kerry family because of petty partisanship

as you can see in Dakini's reply they are far too blind to pay attention or care

I guess those US clothes sent by US citizens just won't fit on those skinny Caribbean people. :p

It was no attempt to bash John Kerry, it's just funny.

And if Kerry manages to pull off a miracle and win the election, at least there will be a bright side. When foreign leaders disagree with John, Evita can call them an idiot in five different languages.

what?

i wasn't bashing anyone, i was just saying that the order in which she said things, water, generator, food then clothes seems a little odd as to me, food is more important than electricity.

Why does it look like this is much of a fiction as the original one about Marie Antoinette?

It seems very strange to see Republicans (for that I assume you are) adopting the rhetoric of the French Revolution...

Water is most essential of all. Having electricity allows you to clean things, stay warm (or avoid overheating - heat stroke can be a real problem), etc. Food is important, but you can go without it for a surprisingly long while if you have water and shelter.

what? i'm aware that he got owned. just because i don't rub it in doesn't mean that i'm blind or don't pay attention.

not caring though... yeah, this whole american election has had both parties acting like idiotitc children (not just kids, but really dumb ones) so i don't care anymore. it would be nice if kerry won because then martin probably wouldn't have a missile shield project to contribute to, which is excellent news for me and the rest of canadians.

You assume wrong. I'm not "adopting" anyone's rhetoric, I just think EPK (Evita Peron-Kerry) is a horrible person. Her comments show her for what she is: a EUro-centric, blue-blooded, liberal New England aristocrat.

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!

Well you don't have to worry about it.. people don't elect the 1st lady.. so you can rest easy.. :rolleyes:

the only, and i repeat ONLY, horrible person here is YOU by your use of petty partisanship to try and attack kerry by skewing quotes and news reports about his wife

Well you don't have to worry about it.. people don't elect the 1st lady.. so you can rest easy.. :rolleyes:

And you can rest even easier, because you don't have a vote for ANYONE in the U.S.

Besides, Kerry's campaign is in BIG trouble right now. I think he's going to lose the election.

It was sarcasm, idiot. Look at my previous posts in this forum. If I make a serious post, I include the entire quote and context. And if I was trying to skew the quote, why would I post a link?

Your mommy's calling. It's time to go to school now. Don't forget to drink your Kool-Aid first, Junior.

Out of interest, how are her comments indicative of being EUrocentric?

riiight, it was sarcasm, of course, thats what you say after you are already debunked, bravo.

wrong, the decision of president of the united states effects EVERY country as the president is also in control of FOREIGN POLICY of the united states, it would obviously be much more fair if the ENTIRE world voted for president of the united states, but of course thats a ludicrous idea. but implying it doesnt matter to her is just as asinine

its only in big trouble in the minds of the ignorant and blind fools who believe eveyr lie and bullshit bit of lip service coming from the bush campaign and hired attack dogs

I agree, Kerry's campaign is not going to great at the moment. However in the last few days he seems to be getting his message out. I won't argue he had a terrible Aug. However there is still lots of time to turn this around. This election I believe will be won or lost in the debates.

OK, so I want a say in the Prime Minister of Canada. After all, he controls foreign policy for Canada, and that effects me, right? In fact, the foreign policy of every nation effects every other nation, so the whole world should vote for the the leader of every country.

Read the polls, and weep, child.

Wow! You "debunked" a joke! Bravissimo. You are mommy's cute little guy...

and the united states is the self declared police of the world and no one can do shit without the decision of the US and the US does whatrever it wants without comnsent or otherwise. how much stuff has canada taken sole action in and started stuff? same with australia and britain. i dont recall any of them being the self-declared world police.

Nah, the debates are nothing but political theater. They won't matter a whit.

By my current estimate, Bush gets around 300 electoral votes (270 are needed to win). Kerry's ship is sinking, and I don't see how he's gonna bail it out in the next 45 days.

Wow! You "debunked" a joke! Bravissimo. You are mommy's cute little guy...

Galtania, namecalling is neither a valid debate tactic nor approved of in these forums. I recommend highly that you cease using it, take a deep breath, and try to stick to matters of substance.

As soon as you tell Chess Squares the same thing, and ENFORCE it. He does it every fucking day, and I'm sick of it. Fighting fire with fire.

wow a joke? really? i thought jokes were you know, funny? not a statement full of stupid partisanship?

lets see where in this thread have i insulted you? hmm? where?

The United States never declared itselft the world police. YOU did.

And EVERY country's foreign policy effects me, BY DEFINITION. "Foreign", get it?

And that's just in this thread. Don't even get started on all the other threads where you insult anyone who doesn't agree with you.

hmm, i declare you a horrible person for trying to implement your game of petty partisanship to effect the kerry campaign by misquoting his wife in a "joke", after which you declare her a horrible person for saying what you misquoted. i think that was justified and much less an insult then me being insulted for misinterpreteing your so-called "joke"

Spin, spin, spin...

"I didn't insult you, Galtania"
"Well, I was justified in insulting you."
"Well, at least it was less of an insult."

Give it up.

ok lts insult you then

you are an ignorant partisan lemming who is blind to his own party's indiscretions and pettily (word i think) attacks the opposite party without even trying to think critically about what is going on

Nah, the debates are nothing but political theater. They won't matter a whit.

Oh I wouldn't count on that, Reagan won based on the debates. Don't underestimate them, many elections have been won or lost in the debates. Some say Bush 41 lost because of the debates too. Then again who could go toe to toe with a master speaker like Clinton, love him or hate him, no one can deny Clinton is a master when it comes to public speaking/debating. We have yet to see Kerry go toe to toe with Bush, it can and usually does make a difference.

Galtania and Chess, both of you just stop insulting each other okay.. there is an old saying that if you have to attack the person instead of the argument, you've already lost. Keep that in mind :)

Unfortunately for you, there are many people in this forum who disagree with you. I can have a civil discussion with them, even though we disagree.

You, on the other hand, are a one-note song. You know no other way but insulting people.

actually, thats more of the truth than an insult

Chess, knock it off please.
