Clark on C-SPAN tonight

[Lefta Dissenter]

Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) Town Hall Meeting in NH (7:45pm) - LIVE

OK, I must say I'm quite excited for this. He does so great in this format, because he can really think on his feet. I think his intelligence and compassion shine through.

I have loaned my tape of one of his other T.H. Meetings to many people, and they've ALL converted to Clark.

[chimpymustgo]

1. Thanks, this should be good. Tune in DU'ers.

2. That's EST, I presume........so that means it won't conflict with

my watching ED....I hate to miss ED, although I've been taping a lot of Clark stuff. When I start taping, that means I'm pretty committed....
I wound up with about 20 tapes of Clinton-Gore in '92....speeches, appearances on TV, campaign news coverage, debates, etc. Maybe it's an omen, I'm taping again!!

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. Yes, it's Eastern Time

I'm going through a lot of tapes, too but, as I said, that other THMeeting tape I have has earned several votes for Clark, so it's WORTH IT! The thing I wish I had on tape was that awesome faux interview! I've been able to listen to it online, but can't seem to get the video to work for me - and I just LOVE to watch Clark when he's kicking ass!

[HoosierClarkie]

3. There is an opportunity to call in afterwards.

I watched Leiberman's today. What a joke. He really needs to just say he is republican!

[Mattforclark]

4. Looking forward to it

I love town hall meetings :0

When's the last time Bush's done one???

[Lefta Dissenter]

8. uhhhhh, let me think.....

7. Kick

Thanks for the reminder.

[Tom Rinaldo]

9. 7:30 Start Time!

At least that's what my girlfriend found on TV Guide On-line. She also went to a NH Clark Web Site which says it is from 7:30 to 9:30. Be advised. I have avoided posting anything all afternoon because I am three hours late getting off on a road trip (groan). I'll be driving late, but she'll tape it for me.

[maddezmom]

10. I'll be watching

:)

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. I will be watching!

I saw him in the Sept. New Hampshire Town Hall meeting and he was great. THAT was when he first entered the race. He will be even better this time. I can't wait to watch! :bounce:

[frank frankly]

12. I can't get the video, but will listen

hoping for a strong showing from Clark

:kick:

[Renew Deal]

14. You know about www.cspan.org right?

It gives you options for both windows media and real video and audio. Just checking.

[Renew Deal]

13. Thanks, I will check this out.

[Gloria]

15. Is this on CSPAN 1 or what?? I'm seeing a discussion of Iraq from Tues

on CSPAN 1 now at 5:45 MST (7:45 ET)

IS IT ON TV??

[Dookus]

17. just switching to Clark now

[Gloria]

18. IT JUST STARTED NOW, a bit late!!!!!!

Here we go!!!! TAPING!

[DemCam]

16. Need to get Fred Thompson off...

Making me sick....and he's one of the better ones.

[frank frankly]

20. hah, DemCam

I hear you on that!

[Gloria]

53. Yeah, Thompson actually questioned how long this "guns and butter"

scenario can continue....
He actually didn't totally whore himself for Bush on several points...

[laruemtt]

19. he looks delicious -

i mean presidential

[Lefta Dissenter]

21. uhhhhh,

that's just the kid introducing him!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[laruemtt]

23. no confusing the two!

when he first came out before the kid - that charisma....

[Kahuna]

42. hee hee!

:smoke:

[DemCam]

22. Heard there's over a thousand there

[MoonRiver]

24. I'm on Central TIme and it's not on

:-(

[Lefta Dissenter]

25. I'm on Central Time, too, but it IS on (eom)

[MoonRiver]

30. He's on now!!

Must have been just a few minutes too early the first time I tried. He sounds awesome, so knowledgeable and connected with the needs of Americans! What an incredible guy!

[wndycty]

26. Damn he is talking about Florida

. . .and Supreme Court and suspension of the count. And the Supreme Court installing a president.

[frank frankly]

27. BAMM--Kick Ass, Clark

this is fucking great!

[Cush]

28. Clark brings up the Florida thugs

If there had been a riot like that in Kosovo, and the counting stopped, there would be international outrage. But the US Supreme Court seemed to endorse it

[rumguy]

29. wow

that impresses me...

[chimpymustgo]

32. Nice touch, recognizing the veterans.

Smoking!

[Kahuna]

43. That walk to the flag (shoe clicks) had a dramatic flair!

Go Wes!

41. Freeper brownshirts get honorable mention.

[maddezmom]

31. Go Wes

restart the superfund, all this with a new spirit of American Patriotisnm.
Tha flag does not belong to the Republicans.

[MoonRiver]

33. "The American flag does not belong to the Republican Party"

YEA!!!
:kick:

[maddezmom]

35. or...

Tom Delay, John Ashcroft or George Bush!!

[BootinUp]

34. He is smokin

The crowd is fired up! Go Wes, You Da Man

36. "The other Phillips Academy" = Phillips Andover- where W went

37. After watching Joe Lieberman's town hall meeting last night

This is a major breath of fresh air.

[Kahuna]

38. <smile>

You can that again.

[Myra]

39. Talking about London Times column now! April 10! *The column.*

The one where his comments have been distorted by
FAIR and Russert and many others...

[wndycty]

40. Poor Kid. . .

. . .was fed some talking points and now Clark has to be diplomatic to hurt him in his response.

[Ksec]

44. Gad this man is inspiring (nt)

[frank frankly]

45. he is great--I am looking forward to his answers on economic issues

This is my wobbly point with Clark.

Outstanding so far.

Out-Standing!

[tabasco]

46. Imagine Bush trying to discuss issues like this?

Impossible. Clark, once again, is very sincere, intelligent, and impressive.

[MoonRiver]

47. Clark defends UN

"We have to work with this organization" :kick: And talks about having to work with NATO and Europe. "If it (NATO) comes apart as the * administration wants...we'll be at greater risk" So true and a direct attack on * isolationist, go it alone, policy! :kick: :kick:

[frank frankly]

48. I am expecting better questions from the audience

These questions really suck.

The questioners sound young--do they not have their own thoughts?

Ask about PNAC, cowards.

[Myra]

50. Yes, that's the answer I want.

He said earlier in the speech that he'd heard about
the plan to attack Iraq in 2001 but hoped it wouldn't
happen. He didn't mention the other six countries
he heard would be attacked at the same time.

Anyway, those were "panelists."
Now he's taking questions from the audience...

[cally]

49. What got me tonight

is he got true tears when he spoke about defending our right to free speech. It wasn't manufactured but true emotion. I think that is why he is running. He believes it. The US stands for free speech and the right to speak out.

[MoonRiver]

51. I believe he reluctantly took up the cause and ran for president

to save out country. It's a lot like the reasons our founding fathers fought England. If more politicians had done this pre-Nazi Germany millions of people might not have died.

[Kahuna]

52. I agree. That's why as a draft Clark person...

I give until it hurts. He's running for me. I have to fulfull my part of the deal by supporting his candidacy in every way that I can.

[laruemtt]

59. for christmas

i'm gonna ask anyone who wants to give me something to send the $ to clark's campaign instead. that's all i want for christmas. lordy, lordy, he's like getting a hit of pure oxygen after breathign pure CO for 3 years!

[MoonRiver]

66. Great idea! I'll do the same thing!

:kick:

[Carolina]

227. I hear ya

I pulled out the check book tonight. Gotta put my money where my mouth is. He is sooooooo good.

225. Freep alert!

God you can just smell the fear, can't you?

[Myra]

57. And Palistinians

He said the answer isn't more troops in the middle east,
it's having leadership in the US, which we don't have.

[johnnynelson]

55. Dodged the question on other ethnic cleansing prevention missions

[wndycty]

58. John welcome to the DU

I look forward to developing a long lasting relationship with you. Where are your from player?

[xultar]

200. OOOO ooooo ooooo OOOOO I bet I Know!

[BootinUp]

60. No that was a very good answer

There has to be some basic questions or standards before you use the awful force of the military. He didn't rule out force in other missions, he told you how he would make the decision.

[johnnynelson]

69. No it was not a good answer

Because the use of military force in Europe wasn't in our national security interests. If it was then Zimbabwe was too.

[BootinUp]

79. Actually Clark has said he was

for intervening in Zimbabwe. As far as every case and analyzing them I think these are complex things and what I expect from the President is that he has a correct problen solving method to go after them.

Welcome to DU, and sorry if my first response came out rude, I was typing fast and not thinking about how it sounded.

Cheers

[rumguy]

88. military force in kosovo was in our national interests nelson

military force in zim would have been crazy, plus the violence against whites in zim was miniscule compared to what happened bosnia/kosovo...what you smoking?

i'm not supporting Clark or anyone else ... yet ...

what a great line he had amount Pentagon spending ... I was very impressed ...

Clark said we need to ensure that we spend as much on defense as we need to ... and then he added on this next piece that showed me he really understands the issue ...

He said we need to ensure that we spend as much on defense as we need to ... but no more ...

185. Good one OKNancy.....

I'm somewhat new to DU, but have noticed some of your "Go Sooners" posts. I also went to OU(graduated 1970) and my son is a senior there now. My daughter(sr. in HS) is thinking of either OU or OSU(heaven forbid). Perhaps we will have the opportunity to see each other at a Clark rally.

[OKNancy]

196. OU - 1971

My daughter was there in 1990-93 but graduated from TU...the youngest daughter hopes to go to OU, but we can't afford it just yet, so she is starting at Tulsa Community College.

I was born and raised in Norman.... Hope to see you at the inauguration!!

[RedEarth]

207. Inauguration.....wouldn't that be great!!!!!!!!!

We just need to get an electable candidate nominated....and I think it would be Clark. My wife and I went to a Clark rally in OKC this past saturday and we both came away very impressed. Extemely sharp person.

My wife also graduated from OU in 1971. Those were very interesting times...late sixties and early seventies. Without question, it shaped my political views.

[rumguy]

166. I agree I just caught the end of it

and he looked very presidential...

I love him!

[RedEarth]

169. I agree 100%

I had the opportunity to see him at a rally in OKC and he was extremely impressive. If the dems can nominate Clark, I honestly think he would be able to beat bush. In a debate, bush wouldn't have a chance....

Everyone needs to do anything they can to get Clark nominated, if they want to take back the White House.

[Kahuna]

182. The beauty of that is the sneak attacks Clark can make. Being a..

Pentagon insider Clark can rip that imposter to shreds with what he knows.

[MoonRiver]

170. Absolutely!

He will bring honor back to this nation and our government! General, we :loveya:

[MrSlayer]

218. Clark has to be the guy.

I've been behind his campaign since I saw him on Bill Maher's HBO show. He seems to have it all. His foreign policy answers are flawless and he does a terrific job on the domestic and economic issues plus he seems to have that extra something, charisma. He just comes off as a cool guy, someone you could hang out and have a beer with. I really hope he gets the nomination.

[BootinUp]

156. I think the young folks like him

He connects

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

158. "Let's take our country back!"

That's what just came out of Clark's mouth. I'm stunned...does he have Dean on the brain, or did he just deliberately use Dean's long-standing campaign slogan?

Of course, in this same scene, he used Dean's bit about the flag not belonging to the Repugs. I know he must have some of his own material, why spout Dean's?

[Kahuna]

164. Pu-leeze! That's hardly an original phrase. We were saying..

that on DU before Dean ever dreamed of running.

[robbedvoter]

171. Wow! More fuzzy warm acceptance - like you EXPECTED from us

after Tweety...Glad you guys are so evenhanded, consistent and fair...

[Renew Deal]

174. Actually Clark started with

the Flag stuff. Dean ripped him off. Dean also ripped him off on the 100 year vision stuff some time go.

[xultar]

179. Dean should sue Clark just like Faux sued Al Franken!!!

That'll learn'em

[Bread and Circus]

189. I'll give you the "take our country back bit" but the flag thingy...

I think you are stretching it....

[Clark Can WIN]

233. In the beginning there was darkness and all was void

And then God created Dean right? All words, phrases and speeches, every utterance known to man originated from the lips of Dean. :eyes:

[VolcanoJen]

175. Goodness!! Looks like I missed the fireworks.

I'm sure on the replay yet...

[BootinUp]

184. Replay at 11:19 EST CSPAN

[laruemtt]

176. are the callers

coming up on cspan 1 or 2? are we going to get to call in tonight anybody know?

[Field Of Dreams]

188. Coming up now...

n/t

[KittyWampus]

177. Well, The Disrupter Was Succesful-More POsts About Him Then Clark

This thread seems to spend more time talking to someone who wants to disrupt than about clark dammit.

[laruemtt]

187. most of us

ignored him pretty well i thought. kind of like a gnat when you're at a really great concert - inconsequential.

[AmericanDem]

212. That is the Deanie way

same formula in every thread

[Renew Deal]

181. Kerry looks stale, lame and over-produced.

I wonder how long it is going to take to get him out of the way.

[robbedvoter]

Different format - speech vs townhall. Low energy - but articulate

[Kahuna]

191. After SC, he could be out. Then Clark can pick up..

the majority of his voters. Same with Edwards and Lieberman.

[frank frankly]

224. that is his best shot

finish 2nd in NH, 2nd in SC, then Clark vs. Dean.

two very good candidates will be left. i like them BOTH!

[Carolina]

232. exactly

with all the military folk here, especially the large population of vets, Clark stands an excellent chance of coming in first. Also, his appeal to red state voters goes beyond his military credentails. He comes across so well, so disarming and humble, yet damn smart. Kerry will be finished after 2/3/04, after the SC primary.

BTW, this evening the ad that begins with: the first bullet hit him ... starting airing smack dab in the middle of the local news. Excellent ad, dynamite timing. WOOHOO!

Clark 2004!

[DemCam]

230. How many ways can he drone

on and on...Kerry may "look" presidential...if we wanted a tall president with good gestures and really, really lots of hair...who just puts one absolutely to SLEEP while he sort of says something if one could concentrate enough to try to listen.

EGAD!

What a contrast to Clark's freshness!!

[Gloria]

186. His closing was great! He said point blank that the Republicans will

use patriotism, the flag and the war UNSCRUPULOUSLY and that they are trying to CRUSH the Democratic Party and the Democratic spirit!!!

WOW!!!

[Zero Division]

210. Thanks, I missed the first part of that statement, was wondering about it.

Clark knows exactly what we're up against, a sustained attack from a Right Wing that does indeed seek our total destruction, fueled by the insanity and aggression of people like johnnyfreepboy, your garden-variety ultra-nationalists who in their ingnorance, shortsightedness, and fanaticism always end up doing far more harm to their country than almost any self-proclaimed enemy of the country ever could.

[mmonk]

228. You're right about the closing (using the flag and war unscrupulously)

and that's why he's running and he has a grasp of what the dems are going to be up against.

[KittyWampus]

190. Clark Mentions Turning Plains Over To Buffalo

As part of Land Use.

[frank frankly]

199. that was damn cool

never heard that before

[DancingBear]

194. johnnynelson is very smart and is a good speller to

sincerely,

johnnynelson's mother

[CWebster]

195. A Clark luv fest..betcha there isn't a balanced view in the entire thread

Hey I caught a couple of minutes and he was choppy and monotone--no dynamics. If he was impressive I would honestly tell you.

[BootinUp]

201. lol

Occasionally you do display a sense of humor, I'll give you that. But Clark was anything but choppy and monotone, at least the crowd seemed to think he did great.

[Renew Deal]

202. No you wouldn't.

You wouldn't even vote for him in the GE. I guess you just couln't leave the lovefest alone. And by the way, he was so terrible that he got a standing ovation in the end.

[OKNancy]

That's alright , you were well represented by another poster

n/t

[Zero Division]

215. You know for a second I actually did think johnny was another "lefter than

thou" politically dogmatic anti-Clarkie, until the "you socialist yellow traitor" crap, of course. ;)

But the level of vitriol was dead-on, captures the spirit of our own diehard anti-Clark brigade perfectly.

Maybe they should get together and have their own love fest. }(

[NNN0LHI]

223. I really think that was uncalled for. Think about it for a while...

...and I bet you will agree with me on this?

Don

[Zero Division]

234. Sorry, I'm just sick of the blind hatred. I don't have a problem with...

those who raise genuine questions about Clark, of which I do believe there are some (people who have a different philosophy about the kind and level of political experience a presidential candidate should have, people who are truly new to all of the ideas floating around about Clark, etc.). I don't even have any real problems with people who make light jabs ("hey my candidate is doing better than yours in this poll", etc.) at my favorite candidate out of love for their own candidate.

Perhaps you mistakenly read my post as an attack on all of those who are perceived as "farther left". I certainly did not intend that at all, and I sincerely apologize if anyone thought I was doing so. I share some of the same concerns with people who are sometimes dismissed as the "far left", and I'm very thankful of the fact that the broad range of people supporting Clark includes those who would be labeled as such.

But there are a very noisy few out there who continually insult anyone who supports Clark with smears based on statments or events taken out of context and guilt-by-association and condescending generalizations ("you just need a macho father-figure...", etc.), while displaying no apparent desire to actually discuss anything. Rebuttals have been given over and over again, and yet these few who have repeatedly brought out the same smears continually assert that no one has "addressed their concerns". Many times they simply drop by on Clark threads just to type phrases like "corporate whore", "pnac plant", "republican mole", "big warhawk", "murderous war criminal", etc. Why would I compare these particular people with someone who has an attitude as odious as johnny the freeper disruptor? As I said, it is rather obvious that their level of hatred for Clark is stunningly similar, even if it is based on a completely different ideological foundation. Like johnny, their message seems to be "If you are not absolutely 100% with us in every action, every statement, every association, regardless of context or your overall message and actions, then you are 100% against us, and as great a political enemy as those who are obviously working against nearly all of our general principles." Some of the things I love about the left is a general respect for nuance, for respecting the complexity of the issues, for tolerance of those who share most of the same ideals, but have a few political differences. And I am terribly dismayed when I see the opposite coming from any Democrat or liberal, whether it's DLC-types like Al From or people like Matt Taibbi who wrote that awful diatribe in The Nation.

Again, I sincerely hope no one thought I was comparing all of our "far left" friends with johnny the freeper disruptor. I truly did not intend that.

[NNN0LHI]

236. You write well darkblue. It makes me jealous. I can't do it

I think is what we all need to remember is that people post to this board anonymously, and we can't always be sure where a poster is really coming from. Some are very obvious like johnny the freeper disruptor. Others may not be so obvious. It does no good to try and spot them either, as it can be impossible to separate the people who really care from the frauds. I have been here over two years, and I can't do it. The Mods seem very good at it though. We have the best mods on any site I have ever visited. And they have been consistently correct. I am crappy at it so I don't even try anymore.

But you don't need to apologize. Especially to me. Just take everything with a grain of salt and don't forget one thing. No matter who our candidate is next year, we will win. Take care and see you later.

Don

[Zero Division]

237. Thank you. You are most gracious.

I'm always afraid that my longer posts come across as verbose rambling. :D

[Myra]

221. Typical of CWebster

Doesn't even read the threads before attacking.

Your constant flaming of Clark supporters helps insure
that when there is valid criticism of him, as there
is of anyone, it will get tuned out.

[eleny]

198. I can hardly wait for two things to occur

Clark debating shrubby and shrubby accompanying Clark out to the crowd right before Clark takes his oath of office on Inauguration Day.

[chimpymustgo]

205. OMG - that felt good. Thanks, eleny!

Clark is it.

[robbedvoter]

203. Clark is on!

His adds were shown - finally!

[Bread and Circus]

204. My two favorite moments....

1.) calling out the chickenhawks by name while holding the
flag.

2.) Talking about putting Buffalo back on the plains.


Also, that dude knows a lot of stuff...Clark, that is.

[rumguy]

206. yes, right on

this guy has "american" written all over him....he's classic...

[eleny]

213. I agree

I was very moved by both, too.

Living here in Colorado and knowing the Great Plaines, I've heard about this idea and am intrigued by it. So many small towns are literally dying. So many young people growing up and moving on. It would be wonderful to see the beginnings of a renewal of the plaines as they once were with native grasses and critters having a place. It would be an international treasure.

[GRocky]

209. I need no conversion.

Clark for Pres!!

[robbedvoter]

214. Deanie called on GOP line - DU. watched "your exhibition"

Shame on you! Worse than freepers!

[NNN0LHI]

222. How do you know for sure the caller was a Deanie?

Freepers pull that shit all the time. Please don't fall for it.

Don

[BootinUp]

216. Wow

I like his answer on the catholic question...maybe cause I am in the same boat...

[DemCam]

220. The Q&A part was the best I have seen.

Not the one at Exeter...the call-in Q&A....

My tape ran out before it was over and I cried. His answers were so beuatifully smart without being showboaty....

We get a history lesson painted with a beautiful broad brush everytime he just gets to talk.

[kentuck]

226. Clark is very, very intelligent.....

and savvy...Does not take crap off of anybody. :)

[Donna Zen]

235. No crap, no how

Did you read the Bartcop post? A person in the audience near Bartcop asked Clark about his upcoming match with Tweety.

One woman said, "You're going to be on Hardball with Chris Matthews real soon.
 Please don't let him push you around."

 ha ha

 The General kinda smiled and said, "We'll be in the same room. He won't push me around."

  ha ha

No crap, no how.
