The Right Wing Has Declared War On

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Wes Clark because he had the temerity to say he's a Democrat and challenge the boy prince.... Rush Limbaugh, David Horowitz, Michael "Savaged" Weiner, Sean Hannity, Neil Boortz, Ann Coulter, John Kelly, Dick Morris, et all are lambasting the General non stop with an unparalleled venom....

I don't care who you support in this race from Joe Lieberman to Al Sharpton they have declared war on Wes Clark for one reason and one reason only....

He said he was one of us....

"All it takes for evil to triumph is for men of good will to do nothing."

-Edmund Burke

"The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in a time of great moral crisis."

-Dante Alighieri

[Maddy McCall]

3. Not just ONE reason...

5. The Other Day

Rush said if you added the I Q s of Wes Clark and Gray Davis it wouldn't add up to a #2 pencil.....

Here's a public challenge to Rush....

Release your IQ score or SAT score and if they are within 10% of these two gentlemen I'll donate $500.00 to the RNC....

[Starpass]

10. DemSinceBirth---well, then wouldn't Rush be shitting on

West Point if such a really, really dumb man was #1 in his class. But the knuckledraggers just sit and scratch their crotch, can't figure that out and nod their heads. Wonder what flight suit boy's IQ is??

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Really

I once read that their general "Alexander Haig" finished 345th out of his 395 member class at West point...


I bet Al Haig will join the Clark bashapalooza too soon...

[wyldwolf]

20. Yeah! Being first in class at West Point and a Rhodes Scholar ...

...doesn't mean ANYTHING! (sarcasm alert)

[StephNW4Clark]

4. Be prepared for worse

Because when Clark starts asking for accountability, all they'll be able to do is hurl invectives at him.

7. I Used To Be A Quiet, Don't Rock The Boat Type Of Guy

[Nevernose]

14. You haven't been watching

8. Read this awesome piece by Joe Conason

Clark prepares for new combat
Media pronounce Clark candidacy dead, polls show him leading

For a man disparaged by Republicans as a "weak" candidate, Wesley Clark provoked hysteria on the right when he finally announced that he would run for President. Conspiracy theories cropped up like noxious weeds, along with gutter attacks on this decorated general's personality, integrity and even his sanity.

While conservatives often proclaim their reverence for the nation's uniform, the right's respect for veterans who have devoted life and career to country now seems rather selective. They didn't hesitate for one moment to denigrate a man who gave 34 years to the United States Army, simply for daring to declare himself a Democrat and a candidate for the Presidency.

In media across the spectrum, Mr. Clark was simultaneously portrayed as a sap for the nefarious Clintons and a schemer of overweening ambition. He was painted as both a patsy for war criminals and a hothead who almost started a war with the Russians. He has been bushwhacked with exaggeration in every publication from The Nation to the American Spectator to The New York Times.

On his first outing, Mr. Clark provided his adversaries an easy target when he made a typical novice error: He told the truth about a complex problem. Specifically, he confessed to ambivalence about the proper way to deal with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. That led some of his more eager critics to declare his candidacy almost ruined only days after he declared himself. On the ABC News Web site, an anonymous Democrat wailed in "despair and anger." That single moment of vacillation, it was said, could even "define" the former NATO Supreme Commander -- as if he had said and done nothing else in his 58 years.

17. This sounds so like what they did to McCain

doesn't it? Haters.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Actually- The Freepers Hate Anybody Who Doesn't Kow Tow

to the boy prince...

[Pepperbelly]

9. And some of the lemmings here ...

rather than welcoming him to the fold and standing against the attack of the Austrailia Pithicus gops, they join in. What a hoser, bush-league thing to do.

:eyes:

11. Wolfie preparing to bash Clark now!

[noiretextatique]

13. they will tear him apart

because i'm sure on some level they consider him to be a traitor.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I Don't Care If You're A Lieberman Democrat

or a Wellstone Democrat.....

They are tearing Clark to pieces because he had the temerity to say he's a Democrat....

As a person of good will I know you will appreciate this....

Clark was at the Citadel yesterday in Charleston, one of the most conservative institutions in America...He spoke to a young cadet, looked him in the eye, and said you can disagree with your country and still be a good American.... The young cadet said "Yes Sir"... I doubt he was ever told before that there are folks of good will who deviate from the Republican/Conservative line...

[Dr Fate]

16. Actually- they done this to ALL popular DEM candidates...

its not just Clark- when Kerry was front runner- they focused on him. When it was Dean, they bashed him. Now it's Clark.

Bush/Media does not give a FUCK which DEM it bashes-so long as that DEM is a THREAT to Bush- they just hit the flavor of the week, whoever that may be.

When we DUers can DIG this, then perhaps we will stop spreading lies and unproven accusations about DEMS and focus on Bush/media as the REAL enemy...

21. their own hypocrisy sickens me

As someone in this thread mentioned, they love to claim reverence to those in uniform, as long as they do not claim the label of Democrat.

While I am not a Clark supporter I see their attacks as so incredibly lame! "Stupid"?? hahahahahahahaha!!! I may have a few issues with the General but I will give credit where it is due. He's obviously very intelligent. I would vote for him if he won the nomination and I know he too could beat Bush--just like a few of our other candidates can.

It will be interesting to see him apply his intelligence to this new battle ground, which is no doubt the most vicious and brutal he will ever know.
