Kerry: Bringing Civility Back toPolitics

"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics."
"I remember a time when people in political parties in Pennsylvania talked to one another and actually got things done. We have to go back to those days when we can do things properly, for the people need it."
"My prayers for you, for me, for the country, for the world, are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation.">>

she was standing up to a hostile reporter who she knows quite well from times gone past, as one who will twist anything she says.

lately I have obeserved lot of negetive posts about Kerry and party which are taken out of context to vilify them. It is really pathetic IMO.

You must know there is no hypocracy in this. The speech she gave was about civility in politics, the mud slinging and negetive tactic in campaigning instead of talking about issues and position on issues. The "shove it" was a personal comment to a reporter who was harrassing her, who has a long standing record against Clintons and Kerrys. So no she was not being hypocrite. These are two different issues.
