<Kerry says he was trying to be positive. He says he was trying to point out what strong families do. What he did instead was anger a huge number of people. What we saw in Kerry's comments about Mary Cheney was the extent his diplomatic skill in miniature. And his diplomacy was a miserable failure.>
Lindy, those people would have been offended by Kerry if he'd said "Good Morning". They are just itching to be mortified, insulted, demeaned and otherwise maltreated by a person they wish to portray as everything negative.
You are letting your bias, prejudice and interests get in the way of your thinking. Or, maybe you don't believe what you are saying, in which case your integrity, integrity, integrity is lacking.
Republicans are anti-poofter and the fact is their own offspring are messing up their theme. Pointing it out to them and suggesting that their love, respect and protection of their own queer families is just what other people want for their's isn't offensive.
When somebody is in direct opposition, it's not a matter of diplomacy. King George II can't make Osama love him, even with lots of diplomacy. It's Jihad and Osama is out to get him, diplomatic niceties or not. Speaking cutesy to Osama won't make him unoffended, unangry etc. He wants to kill! So does Dick Cheney [he wants to kill Kerry's chances].
