Kerry was telling Florida Seniors yesterday that Bush planned to cut their SS benefits 45% to pay for privatizing SS. There is no end to the lying.

How stupid can these people be?

No, it's not an insult, unless the person being classified is offended, which is always possible.


A lot of the commentary on this incident focused on the insult aspect in addition to the fair-game aspect of it. I imagine that's why the insult spin is being defended. I agree with you that it's not an insult and it's stupid to treat it as such. But it's not stupid to defend in the context in which you are attacked.
