Kerry: On the fence over the wall!

[IntheNet]

Kerry's flip-flopping on issues ~ a whole range of issues ~ is becoming glaringly apparent... his position on the Israel border fence is prima facia evidence of this fluctuating support for apparently both sides of an issue....Ann Coulter explains...

"The "family" angle could also explain Kerry's positions on the wall in Israel: His wife supports it and he opposes it! Speaking to an Arab group in Michigan in October 2003, Kerry called Israel's erection of a wall between Israeli and Palestinian areas "another barrier to peace." But a few months later, Kerry got on the fence on the subject of the wall. Adding clarity to the subject, his campaign issued a memo in February, saying Kerry took the precise opposite position of his earlier position. The memo said: "John Kerry supports the construction of Israel's security fence to stop terrorists from entering Israel. The security fence is a legitimate act of self-defense ..." So the wall was either (1) a barrier to peace or (2) a legitimate act of self-defense. The campaign then said Kerry had meant to say the real barrier to peace was Pink Floyd's "The Wall." While Kerry works out his positions, apparently the voters have decided that their legitimate act of self-defense is to vote for Bush."

Ann Coulter?

I wish you could hear how hard I'm laughing right now. It's a hard, sarcastic laugh that no emoticon could ever convey. It's a laugh that says "my God, I can't believe anyone could be so intentionally ignorant".

You just quoted the Dan Rather of politics today.

I think I will die of shock and surprise the day that republican attack weasels rant against Kerry's flipflops regarding an issue that Bush has been clear, consistent, and truthful on.

It almost makes me want to start a thread titled "Can anyone explain Physical & Moral Coward and Flip-Flopper George Bush's stance on the Palestinian issue and the Wall?"

But that would make me an equal amongst trolls, now wouldn't it?

The Palestinians embrace terrorists. There will never be peace there. We are friends of israel and Kerry is friends with Israel. Nothing will change if Kerry becomes president. It is a non issue.

Ann Coulter?

I agree. We should go to the source on this.

October 2003: Kerry Calls Fence “Barrier To Peace.” “And I know how disheartened Palestinians are by the Israeli government’s decision to build a barrier off the green line, cutting deeply into Palestinian areas. We do not need another barrier to peace. Provocative and counterproductive measures only harm Israel’s security over the long- term, they increase hardships to the Palestinian people, and they make the process of negotiating an eventual settlement that much harder.” (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks Before Arab American Institute National Leadership Conference, Dearborn, MI, 10/17/03)

February 2004: Kerry Calls Fence “Legitimate Act Of Self-Defense.” “US Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, the frontrunner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, described Israel’s construction of a security barrier as a ‘legitimate act of self defense’ after Sunday’s suicide bombing in Jerusalem, clarifying a position he took in October when he told an Arab American audience, ‘We don’t need another barrier to peace.’” (Janine Zacharia, “Kerry Defends Security Fence,” The Jerusalem Post, 2/25/04)

Yep, clear flip-flop.
