Since Bob Kerrey is now in the discussion concerning

[mmonk]

madrassas and campaigns, do any of you think he is an asset to the Clinton campaign? He is a founding member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq which is closely tied with the PNAC and the AEI. He is part of our problem as a nation.

2. Not my favorite person in the world

But he's a democrat with a constituency.

3. I live in Nebraska. He has no constituency here. That's why he isn't running for Senate.

5. well then --

--he's pretty much worthless as an endorse.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

4. Too pro-war, but a big name in the mid-west. Would have been an okay endorsement

if he had ixnayed the uslimay.

From the coverage, I'd say it hasn't worked out well, though.

6. "Clinton's An Unusually Good Liar.

Unusually good. Do you realize that?" - Bob Kerrey

Given the above quote, I have no idea what Kerrey sees in this move.

7. He's not an asset to Hillary, and would not be an asset to any dem.

He became irrelevant years ago.

9. Lots of questions regarding Kerrey's role in the Thanh Phong Massacre. nm

10. Honestly, I'm not a fan of Kerrey's comments on Obama BUT.....

While I was expecting the Republicans to pick up on the red meat attacks vs Obama if he were to win the nomination, I find the Vietnam attacks on Kerrey to be just as tasteless as the Switftboating attacks on John Kerry. Bob Kerrey lost one of his legs in Vietnam, was awarded the Medal Honor, and actually received a bronze star for the operation you describe. If we're going to disparage individuals for killing people in Vietnam, you basically disqualify about 100,000 Americans from political service.

11. War criminal and Lieberman criminal and purveyor

of rightwing racist smears.
