The Clark Anti-Smear Fundraiser

[WillyBrandt]

In the last hour or so, we Clark-insomniacs have seen three types of users:

(1) A freeper poser troll who posted a disgusting picture of Dean, while pretending himself to be a Clark supporter;

(2) A few users who believed--oh my oh my!--that surely it must be a Clark supporter, because the handle had the word Clark in it;

(3) Another user who is posting links to the anti-Dean photo everywhere--at least five times so far, by my count--in a flourish of online smear artistry against the good General and his supporters.

What to do? Donate money to Clark in honor of Freepers and the Freeping Freeps who Freep with Them. Let's see if we can't raise $200. (On edit: Up to $600, since we've got a very generous donation below...)

I'm starting off. I'm in for $25 extra, on top of what I contributed earlier tonight.

C'mon folks, the year end is almost upon us! Picture the Wes Wing. It'll happen--a few bucks. Piss off the freepers!

1. I'm in for $50 (eom)

DTH

[WillyBrandt]

2. Good! Up to $75--Just $125 more!

[Myra]

6. I already donated $25 tonight, but I want a piece of this thread...

How about if I offer up a kick-ass quote instead?

"Though Clark's strategy is unconventional, money offers a strong measure of his political viability. For the three-month reporting period ending this month, Clark is expected to raise some $12 million, putting him behind only Dean in fundraising for the period."

Thus showing the importance of big money numbers *now*.

3. Was going $200...Will do $250 just

for the hell of it. The whole damn thing was probably coordinated by Clark opponents (or *** supporters) in advance. Its absolutely sickening and way too trashy to be serious.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

You Da Man!

God, it's scary, I'm getting close to maxing out. I'm debating whether to just finish the job before tomorrow night. :-)

DTH

[WillyBrandt]

5. Good! We're up to $375!

That's $175 over the goal!

Now, don't let that dissuade y'all from donating too!

[DoveTurnedHawk]

8. To Get Technical About It, I Think Only the Extra $50 Would Count

But Rowdyboy is especially awesome for donating the $200 to begin with!

:bounce:

Wes gets another $100 from me in your honor, Willy.

I'm BeyondGeography, and I approve this donation to Wesley K. Clark.

[dsc]

13. I am glad you are appalled at the picture too

but this has been alerted at least a dozen times with no result. I don't know what else we can do but go to ATA and ask for its removal.

[WillyBrandt]

15. Just wait for the mods to wake up

They're human too.

Or so I hear :)

[dsc]

24. The ATA thread has been removed

has the picture? I have only seen it via link so I don't know which thread it is in.

17. You know what? Contributing sure helps

to make those naysayers of Clark's awfully quiet.

[WillyBrandt]

18. Where'd they go?

Alright, time to put on my PNAC Pajamas and go to sleep.

(Actually, I call them Pajamas for a New American Century.)

[DoveTurnedHawk]

20. LOL!

Now that's a PNAC I can get behind! :D

DTH

[Myra]

22. Jammies for a New 'Merkan Century???!

Lordy.
Well...pleasant dreams and nighty night.

[WillyBrandt]

19. Didn't you donate some?

We're tallying this up!

[neuvocat]

21. Yep. 50 bucks a few minutes ago.

And I'll do it again tomorrow for the same reason too because its worth every dime.

[Myra]

34. Yes! Don't get mad, get your checkbook.

The General's at $1,147,167 at 11am.
Let's shoot for $2mil!

I'm gonna donate again today because I'm so grateful
to General Clark for fighting for voting rights for
all Americans:

"IRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 29 — Forty years after four black girls were killed in a church bombing here, Gen. Wesley K. Clark visited the same church on Monday and said African-Americans were still in danger of having their votes go uncounted and their voices unheard."

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/30/politics/campaigns/30CLAR.html

He went to the same church...

23. Here's the evidence

Transaction amount: $100.00.
Transaction number: 524160513

On behalf of the noble quest that is the Wesley K. Clark for President campaign, I would like to thank WillyBrandt, Freeper or Not, Scott RadioSubversion Guy and my personal savior, Abraham Lincoln.

Now let's win this thing!

[Myra]

25. kick!

Let's make a new year's resolution one day early...

2mil or...not !!!!

[jumptheshadow]

26. Just donated

For the person who is rerunning those hoary spammed smears.

27. Can Time Count?

I've given several hundreds already, and will try to give one more time today.

I have committed to giving time this week by both going to NH this weekend, and by also making phone calls to NH voters.

Great post - you raised good money for a great man.

I just watched American Son this morning (a friend of mine had a house party that I couldn't go to and lent me the tape). Great Great Great man. I couldn't help but think of the comparison between Wes Clark using the Clinton shot in his video to Clinton using the shot of JFK in his video.

[Jerseycoa]

28. Hey!

You waited until I was asleep! On my way for $50. Thanks, Willy.

31. Can a non-insomniac contribute, too??

Sure !

$100 to the general is on the way.

[Lefta Dissenter]

32. Well, I think then you have to promise not to sleep tonight!

so you can 'relate' properly to the insomniatic thread! :)

I would love to give $ on this thread, but I just gave another $100 yesterday, and just can't afford more right now.

But I'm calling more Iowans this weekend, and I'm kicking this thread, and expressing my support! I sure love all you guys!!! :loveya:

Oh yeah, and I want to see the evidence that the ...ummmm, the 'person' who posted the original offending post on the other thread that prompted this thread.... I want to see how much he gives! What's HIS donation # and amount???? :shrug: After all, he claims to be a Clark supporter!

Here's the link:

30 minutes to go.

Happy New Year :grouphug: gotta run back to my guests.

[Loren645]

42. I just donated.

Felt good.

[Jerseycoa]

44. Oooh, Loren

I wish I knew when they were updating. I can't stand the suspense.

:crazy:

[WillyBrandt]

45. Final Tally: Around $900

Depending upon how you count it, and given that we've got some incomplete information above, this raised between 700 and 1100 bucks for the good General.

Not so bad. "Ignored"--this is for you!
