Ramsey Clark Endorses John Kerry
By Cliff Kincaid
March 1, 2004



One of the leading “America bashers” on the political scene today has endorsed John Kerry for president. Speaking to reporters after a February 27 Washington press conference to rally support for Haiti’s Marxist President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Ramsey Clark said he’s voting for Kerry because he would take U.S. foreign policy in a new direction.

This is certainly the case. Kerry told the New York Daily News editorial board that he would have intervened “unilaterally” with U.S. troops if necessary to save Aristide’s corrupt regime from a popular rebellion. Aristide, who developed a reputation for brutalizing and killing his political opponents, was encouraged by the Bush administration to leave the country.

“I think John Kerry is a great human being,” Clark told this reporter. “I knew him when he was—I call a youngster—in his 20s. I saw him as an extremely caring person, an extremely courageous person, and a person who was deeply concerned for peace and the well-being of other people.”

1. Good. Ramsey Clark knows what drives Kerry.

Kerry is an idealist with a pragmatic streak. Perfect to navigate through this next decade and the right priorities to fix what needs fixing.

5. Oh the media whores are gonna love this....

Remember doing the war protests how the right wing media was calling Ramsey Clark a "communist", and claiming that the "commies" were behind all opposition to the illegal invasion of Iraq (which Kerry voted for)??

BTW, how the Hell does Kerry saying he would intervene unilaterally in Haiti equal a "new direction" in foreign policy?? Isn't that the same old wrong direction of the Bush Criminal Empire.

There's no such thing as a benevolent imperialist.

7. Is that the same anti-war protesting, Ramsey Clark?!?

Ack! Say it ain't so! </sarcasm> :evilgrin:

[NoPasaran]

10. Is that the Milosevic apologist Ramsey Clark?!?

[mobuto]

11. No its the Rwandan genocide apologist Ramsey Clark

Clark has also defended Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Rwandan war criminal.

Kerry should accept endorsements from everybody, but I think he's smart enough not to acknowledge or associate with this nutcase.

9. Kerry does not want this endorsement. Ramsey Clark is a scumbag

a supporter of far-right and left authoritarian thugs everywhere. He is a disgrace to the legacy of the justice department. Right up there with Ashcroft and J Edgar Hoover. of course he did most of his crimes against what's right after he left the government.
