Kerry Upset With Rush

Kerry has become such a non-issue in the 2008 elections that he has taken to writing about radio personalities: 

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., got a little hot under the collar about Rush Limbaugh's analysis today suggesting Republicans are better friends for Israel than Democrats.

"Rush Limbaugh s ignorance and willingness to divide Americans knows no bounds," Kerry said in a formal statement on his website just hours after the show ended. "His latest statement about Israel is beyond offensive to all of us who have fought to protect Israel in the face of enemies committed to its destruction."

What did Limbaugh say that got Kerry so bent out of shape?

Limbaugh said the most frequent guest in the Clinton White House, besides Monica Lewinsky and the campaign donors in the Lincoln bedroom, was Yasser Arafat. He called President Bush the best friend Israel ever had in the White House.

"Rush Limbaugh needs to pick up a history book instead of a doughnut," Kerry added. "It was a Democratic president who first recognized the State of Israel. It was a Democratic president who first sold Israel defensive weapons. And it was a Democratic president who first sold Israel offensive weapons."

Kerry continued: "The people of Israel and the Jewish community don't need Rush Limbaugh to tell them who stands with them, and no one has time for right wing trying to score cheap political points while Israel fights to defend its very existence."

Funny how he doesn't mention that the Democratic party from that time is VASTLY different then it is now.  It is no longer the party of Truman or JFK.  It is the party of MoveOn.Org, CodePink, ANSWER, and the rest of the Communists.  

Plus Mr. Flip-Flopper should take a look at his pal Sen. Kennedy before he takes cheap shots at someones weight.  

Arafat all but endorsed Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

Arafat deputy and chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told WND in an exclusive interview that while "we do not involve ourselves in internal American politics," at the same time "our region has been sliding deeper and deeper into chaos because of certain policies over the past few years, and this needs to change."

While he would not directly endorse Kerry, it was clear Erekat was implying the PA wants a change in White House leadership: "If things continue the way they are, if certain policies toward our region are maintained in the years to come, there is going to be a lot of violence on both sides."

A prominent Arafat aide who asked that his name be withheld spoke to WorldNetDaily from Arafat's battered Ramallah compound.

"The president [Arafat] is frustrated with Bush's policies," he said. "The president [Arafat] thinks Kerry will be much better for the Palestinian cause and for the establishment of a Palestinian state."

Let's see, Saddam, N. Korea, Syria, Iran, Russia, Kofi…Arafat.  Leftists, Communists and Dictators all would have been happier with Kerry as President.  I wonder why?

UPDATE

Take a look at some more flip-flopping from Kerry and what some Jews thought of him prior to the election.
