| Kerry Surprised By Reaction To Comment About Cheney's Daughter

The Des Moines Register reports that Kerry said Thursday he was surprised by Vice President Cheney’s reaction to remarks Kerry made about Cheney’s daughter during the last Presidential debate:

I’m surprised by the reaction.

[. . .]

Kerry said he didn’t regret the comments, but said he objected to his campaign manager’s comments afterward that Cheney’s daughter was “fair game.”

My assessment:

1) Kerry knew it was a “low blow” and did it anyway
2) Kerry expected “blow-back” from the Republicans
3) Kerry DID NOT EXPECT “blow-back” from Democrats as well.

and thus “I’m surprised by the reaction.”

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner.
