Reply #2: Goddess...not directed at you or anyone here.

[ray of light]

The stomping part wasn't directed at you or anyone here.

The touching part that I wanted to share was the part about Kerry and how courageous it was for him to be there making that speach. It was also to show the fear that all of us have that our "protective" feelings towards JK also has to be reconciled with our anti-war protests and our fear that our activities will in some way hurt him.

Yes, you, I, everyone here, and everyone at the DCP are all on the same team. But we're also like a disfunctional family too. (No slight intended to absolutely anybody by that statement.) We all love JK but we all have different views, different temperments, and such a vast array of experiences that given the same speech or writing we could all interpret it differently.

In my case, I clearly interpreted the article as the author projecting JK's fear of rejection out but using her voice to project her side too. I interpreted the article as Kerry reaching out to all of us for acceptance of his IWR and his plans to move forward.

And KerryGoddess--I've always admired you for your work on the jk blog and on LUTD and the Democratic Daily. I'm sorry if my posting the original link in here stomped on your heart. I never would intentionally hurt you or anyone here.
