LATimes-RW quickly moves against Clark

[KT2000]

Rove wants to pick our nominee for us.

Joshua Micah Marshall on the Rove's need to get rid of Clark ASAP:

"WASHINGTON — Is retired Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO supreme allied commander, an erratic liar? He is if you believe the spin coming out of the conservative hit machines that cranked into action as soon as Clark announced his intention to run for president as a Democrat.

Success in politics sometimes comes down to which side can tell the most compelling story — and, even more important, which side can tell it first.

That simple truth has triggered a manic, win-at-all-costs drive to "define" Clark in the worst terms possible so that he won't be able to knock the president out of the White House next November. In his newsletter last week, Washington's highly respected political handicapper Charlie Cook correctly noted that "for the White House, it is particularly important that Clark's credibility be impeached as soon as possible." The White House and its media allies clearly agree."

2. And

It doesn't help matters when people here repeat these stories that have clearly been planted by Karl Rove for no other reason than undermining Clark's strength among Democratic base voters and destroying the most electable candidate in the field. Wake up!

4. They think they are helping Dean, Kucinich, or someone else

By working for Karl Rove, they think they are going to help their candidate. What they are really doing is undermining the Democratic Party and giving strength to Bush and the right wing.

6. you know it, bsg

I'm horrified when I see DUers who KNOW how the Rove machine operates yet STILL FALL FOR HIS DIRTY TRICKS!

[Democat]

3. How many gullible DUers repeat these Rove lies every day?

Democratic Underground is Karl Rove's best friend lately.

There is more Clark bashing here than on some Republican boards.

8. Re: "LATimes-RW quickly moves against Clark"

On another board that I am on, the trolls are trying to basically claim that he personally ordered the fictional firing of the Koresh compound in Waco.
