Freeper quote on Clark

[dkamin]

This is brilliant, from another overenthused, underintelligent Freeper.

On General Wes Clark's criticism of Rush Limbaugh's racial statements:

"Mr. Clark should shut his fat mouth and crawl back to
where the sun don't shine. He doesn't even rate to stand
in the same space as Rush Limbaugh."

[TNOE]

Clark:During his thirty four years of service in the United States Army, he held numerous staff and command positions, rising to the rank of 4-star general and NATO Supreme Allied Commander.

From 1997 through May of 2000, General Clark was NATO Supreme Allied Commander and Commander in Chief of the United States European Command. In this position, General Clark commanded Operation Allied Force, NATO's first major combat action, which saved 1.5 million Albanians from ethnic cleansing in Kosovo.

Limbaugh: Got into radio because his wealthy father owned the station. Fired from numerous radio jobs until catching fire with talk radio. Despite coming from a wealthy background, Limbaugh depended on government largesse, namely unemployment benefits, instead of relying on his family.

Family Life:
Clark: Has been married to the same woman since 1967.

Limbaugh: Twice divorced. Third wife was an aerobics instructor whom Limbaugh married when he weighed over 300 pounds--not that I'm accusing Limbaugh's current wife Marta of being a gold digger and trophy wife or anything.

4. Now I could be wrong but...

...I have never noticed us people on the left to worship our favorite pundits. You know, I never hear, "Gee O'Reilly isn't worthy to breathe the same air as Franken", or "Carville's sh*t don't stink". How come the right has to have these heroes who are treated as gods because they can run a one-sided propoganda show with few opposing viewpoints? Ever notice half the callers to a Michael Savage or Limbaugh show have to ramble on and on about how much they love said host? I also notice that many right-wingers refer to their favorite columnists and will ask you to debunk one of their points. These people seem helpless without their talking points.
