Cheney Calls Kerry's Hunt a Cover-Up

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CHENEY?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=POLITICS&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney poked fun at Sen. John Kerry's goose hunting Thursday, arguing that the image of the gun-toting, camouflaged Democrat was an "October disguise" that masked his voting record against gun rights.

Just hours after Kerry shot a goose during an early-morning hunt in Boardman, Ohio, near Youngstown, the vice president told supporters in another part of the state that the outing was nothing more than a photo opportunity to hide the four-term Massachusetts senator's record.

if you have a Supreme Court judge as company.

He's OBVIOUSLY not the high calibre of hunter that Cheney is.

because it's his constitutional right.

That's how Bwana Dick likes to hunt....

two quotes from article:

"I don't see anything terribly wrong with it, but I don't think it should be confused with hunting," said Sid Evans, editor in chief of the outdoor magazine Field & Stream. Shooting pen-raised birds, he said, "is a great way to train dogs, and it's a great way to educate young hunters."

"Something here doesn't add up," said David Wade, Mr. Kerry's spokesman. "The Bush administration says the economy is improving, but their millionaire vice president has to hunt for his own food."

Hunting is....hunting.

killed and protected species of bird? It was the ground nesting Killdeer.

happened back in the 90's - i think it was while he was running to be governor of texas

This is mentioned, with video, in the BUSH's BRAIN video.

But then, Kerry doesn't have a case pending before the Supreme Court right now, so why would he?

Asking For It.

Help me out. I forget when Kerry voted to ban shotguns for goose hunting. I'm sure Cheney's got a link to that.....like maybe "factcheck.com?" (snicker).

:shrug:

:evilgrin: CONFLICT OF INTEREST comes to mind ....


:hippie:

I knew it would throw the Bushites into a snarl.

Lying Liz, porn author Lynne, 'murica's shyest Lesbian Mary, and can't open his mouth without making an ass of himself - Dick.

No slimey smear is beneath them. They have zero honor or dignity.

If I'm on the road and decide to go swimming, I have to buy a suit if I didn't bring one, right? Dick, does that make me a non swimmer?

Can't they EVER acknowledge ANYTHING? If Unka Dick wants to chide JK for taking a 'hunting' opportunity to appeal to sportsmen, that's fine, that's fair and probably even true. But they can't stick to the truth, they have to LIE and DISTORT.

Yeah, Dick, JK watched his very first Red Sox game ever last night, I'm sure you'll work that in before the end of the day.

is how James Wolcott refers to Mary Cheney.

His company Halliburton has dealt in business transactions with the foul scum of the earth.

Scum bag Cheney never met a violent dictator he couldn't do business with.

It would have to be Mr. Cheney...

and opens Kerry up to ridicule. It has been talked about every hour today (along with Teresa's remark) on CNN and Novak can't let go of it, like a rabid dog. Begala missed an opportunity to bring up the Dick hunting with Scalia and Dubya bird hunting every fall in South Texas with his Poppy and other politicos.

The Greens and Naderites (esp the vegans and PETA splinters) are upset that Kerry is "killing" his own "meat", but then like the NRA folks, they aren't moving towards Kerry either. I just hope this doesn't become a "Dukakis in a tank" image for J.K.

the accusation he is knee jerk anti gun. The reason why the righties are incensed is because it works, not because it doesn't. They are trying to shore up the hunters who are likely to be swayed.

It's for sportsmen who could give two hoots about the stupid NRA. Believe it or not, there's alot of sportsmen who think militia types are nuts. They're also worried about the habitat and whether they'll even be able to hunt in Bush's America. That's who this was aimed at and it'll do just fine with them. And like you said, anybody who gets in a tizz about killing a goose for dinner isn't likely to vote Kerry anyway.

They support Kerry on economic and trade issues but like their guns.
Yes they are NRA members, but don't buy in to all the Wayne LaPierre BS sent out by the NRA.

And, if you're worried about ridicule, you're too late. The NRA has been running their "poodle" ads throughout the battleground states for three weeks now.

I mentioned seeing the NRA's poodle ad here in NC and somebody told me that the NRA obviously doesn't know a poodle from their a$$e$ because standard poodles (the ones shown in the ad) were bred as hunting dogs.

I do not know if this is true or not but I was highly amused by it.

and they are a German breed, not a French breed.

... campaigning? Goose-hunting is big in Ohio in October. It sure ain't my bag of tea, but I don't think Kerry should avoid things he enjoys just because people make ignorant and partisan mischaracterizations.

not an opportunist.

In October, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, a Democratic presidential candidate, blew two pheasants out of the Iowa sky in two shots of his 12-gauge shotgun, a display meant to show his prowess as well as his support for the rights of hunters and an assault-weapons ban. Mr. Kerry downed the birds in a cornfield, not at a private club.

Not all the Greens are upset about this - in fact, I'd be surprised to find any Green that I personally know against this. Most Greens I know, including me, are voting for Kerry.

I think this was a waste of valuable time and achieves nothing, except negatives.

I'm about as close to Green as green can be, but I fully intend to vote for Kerry. I've known for a long time that he likes to hunt. Canada Geese are all over the eastern U.S. and lots of people have been hunting them. If Kerry killed a fox or wolf I would be cross with him, but he's welcome to kill as many Canada Geese as he likes, since their natural predators were killed off by Dick Cheney types and the geese are now overpopulating. It's better than rounding them up and gassing the poor creatures, which is what the corporations and gated communities do around here because they've become pests (the geese, although the corporations and gated communities are pests too imo).

It doesn't seem to have occurred to the talking heads that Kerry might have gone hunting BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY ENJOYS HUNTING AND IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A BREAK FROM CAMPAIGNING.

Some people criticize Kerry no matter what he does.

Background checks at gun shows, trigger locks, raising the minimum age to own a gun, supports policies that would outlaw the importation of certain ammunition clips.

Kerry actually would take action,which is what has got the corrupt fuckwits at the NRA in such a dither...

Bush supports peace and freedom, too, but that's not what we have.

THERE'S a cover-up, twit. :grr:

ads are running showing Kerry at a PETA rally with Jane Fonda.

...please, pause while we have a moment of silence, in memory of the brain cells just made to combust due to this astonishingly stupid statement from the puppeteer.

considering the whole Scalia dickfest.

:toast:

"quack quack"

Release the names of the folks you had in your energy task force meetings, and while you're at it....release the CIA report on 9/11
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x918771

intelligence, Halliburton crimes, etc., etc.

Two birds, with two shots? I'm impressed.

Those were two pheasants. I don't know how many geese he shot this year. But, speaking as someone who sucks at video games, I doubt shooting an actual gun is any easier - seems like its more difficult.

Now which 'hunting trip' was more deadly?

pile of rubble in NYC????
Holy shit, what hypocrisy.

a Justice there? Oh Cheney you are as screwed up as the monkey, that was YOUR HUNTING TRIP that was a cover up ! silly Criminal bunch, they think everyone thinks like they do. Criminal !

he just got the details kinda confused. Poor Dick....he's not well.

I think he just wanted to take some time off.

anyone with this crapola.

Everyone knows that.

That's why Theresa can't go to the White House.
She hasn't killed anyone, unlike Laura, Georgie, and John.

>honesty off<

it would be Dick Cheney.

would probably piss his pants if he ever ran across anything
larger than a turkey in the woods. He's to damn fat to
chase down anything, and shooting poor birds in a planted blind
is hardly "hunting". It's more like "crapping".

Sorry, I just have no respect for the fat turd.

New Information Shows Bush Indecisive, Paranoid, Delusional

In the inscription, the Admiral says Kerry is one of the finest officers in the United States Navy and that he's an even better human being. Nice, huh?

Hey, Dick! Did Halliburton give you a medal for the billion-dollar government contracts in Iraq! You bet!

You'd think Cheney would know well enough to KEEP QUIET when it comes to Senate records; his is beyond "DISMAL". But nope, he cuts his own throat;
