Kerry on stem cell research in the Second Presidential Debate: Candidate’s secret thoughts revealed
James Hilston, 12 October 2004
After
several days of thorough examination of the transcript of the Second Presidential
Debate, an expert in libero-socialist behavior, James Hilston, reveals the
secret thoughts and feelings of Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry.
Following is an excerpt of Hilston's findings. Clarifying commentary, translations
and secret thoughts are formatted as
indented, blue, and [bracketed] text.
[MODERATOR] CHARLES GIBSON: Senator Kerry, the next question is for you, and it comes from Elizabeth Long.
LONG: Senator Kerry, thousands of people have already been cured or treated by the use of adult stem cells or umbilical cord stem cells. However, no one has been cured by using embryonic stem cells. Wouldn't it be wise to use stem cells obtained without the destruction of an embryo?
KERRY: You know, Elizabeth, I really respect your --
[If you recall, there was a long uncomfortable pause here; Kerry couldn't seem to find the word he was looking for. There's a reason for that: Kerry's brain hiccoughed on what he was really thinking and dared not say. "You know, Elizabeth, I really am disgusted by your unenlightened religious irrationality ..."]
-- the feeling that's in your question.
[What Kerry started to say: -- the partisan pro-life stupidity that's in your question]
I understand it.
[What Kerry started to say: I understand that you're a small-minded, anti-progressive, science-stifling brain-washed zealot]
I
know the morality that's prompting that question, ...
[What Kerry started to say: I know the unsophisticated obsession with mythical moral absolutes that's prompting that question, ...]
... and I respect it enormously.
[What Kerry really wanted to say: ... and words fail to describe my utter disdain and loathing for you and your kind]
But like Nancy Reagan, and so many other people --
[Another sentence in which Kerry stopped midway. What Kerry started to say: "But like Nancy Reagan -- whom even someone as inbred and rednecked as yourself would respect since her husband, President Reagan, was a Republican president-- and so many other people smarter than you, I have the intelligence to know that embryonic stem cell research is right, and you, Elizabeth Long, are wrong.]
You know, I was at a forum with Michael J. Fox ...
[What Kerry started to say: I was at a forum with Michael J. Fox -- you know, the actor who starred in "Back to the Future." Since the stupid masses like you are impressed with celebrities, you should prepare yourself to be impressed with what I'm about to say.]
... the other day in New Hampshire, who's suffering from Parkinson's, and he wants us to do stem cell, embryonic stem cell.
[And if you weren't such an extremist, women's-rights-hating, religious zealot, you would be impressed that a celebrity such as Michael J. Fox, who starred in "Back to the Future", supports embryonic stem cell research. But no, you care more about obeying your trailer trash pastor than this poor suffering famous actor who starred in "Back to the Future."]
And this fellow stood up, and he was quivering. His whole body was shaking from the nerve disease, the muscular disease that he had.
[Do you get it, Elizabeth, you half-wit? He was suffering! And he's a celebrity who was in "Back to the Future"! Is the picture clear enough for you, you cold-hearted morality-legislating fascist?! And you would rob him of his hope. You disgust me, Elizabeth Long!"]
And he said to me and to the whole hall, ...
[And now he saying this to you, Elizabeth Long:]
"You know, don't take away my hope, because my hope is what keeps me going."
[You heartless low-life selfish hope-killer."]
Chris Reeve is a friend
of mine. Chris Reeve exercises every single day to keep those muscles alive
for the day when he believes he can walk again, and I want him to walk again.
[Unlike you. You don't give a damn whether Superman lives or dies, do you? You blood-sucking Superman-murdering scum! You and your pro-life cronies are like Christopher Reeve's real-life Kryptonite!]
I think we can save lives.
[You obviously want to kill lives.]
Now, I think we can do ethically guided embryonic stem-cell research.
[According to MY ethics.]
We have 100,000 to 200,000 embryos that are frozen in nitrogen today from fertility clinics. These weren't taken from abortion or something like that. ...
['Something like that'? Yikes, that sounded stupid. But these stupid people won't catch it.]
They're from a fertility clinic.
[You moron]
And they're either going to be destroyed or left frozen. And I believe if we have the option, which scientists tell us we do, of curing Parkinson's, curing diabetes, curing, you know, some kind of a, you know, paraplegic or quadriplegic or, you know, a spinal cord injury, anything,
[Oh man. I'm sounding like an idiot. But then again, all these people are idiots. It will go right past them.]
That's the nature of the human spirit.
["THERE'S the money! That sounded SMART! I've got to remember to use that in future speeches.]
I think it is respecting life to reach for that cure. I think it is respecting life to do it in an ethical way. And the president has chosen a policy that makes it impossible for our scientists to do that. I want the future, and I think we have to grab it.
[... the way I'd like to grab your throat and exterminate you and all your right-wing pro-life compassionate conservative cohorts.]
