This thing is great.

I won't even make my usual mocking "PNAC stooge" jokes. This is a great guy. Clarkistas, we've got just such a fantastic candidate.

We're going to win this motherfucker. I got my bonus today--going to donate now to help make that happen.

1. Clark had tears in his eyes when he first saw it

I read a report that the first time Clark saw this at a fundraising event, he had tears in his eyes.

[pruner]

2. so Clark was moved to tears by the story of his own life…

[WillyBrandt]

3. Are you fucking kidding?

The movie is partly about his classmates being killed, and about his family. And so we've got empty snark.

Mindless snideness. Ugh.

13. You mean Ex-Dean/Clark supporter

He was always a Dean supporter. For a while, he was a Dean/Clark supporter. But I guess now that he knows that ticket won't happen, he went back to just being a pure Dean supporter. He never switched from Dean to Clark.

16. Well, you know

That Dean-Clark thing died all of a sudden. RIP :cry:

The latest push seems to be Kerry should be going after Clark instead of Dean. We'll see if that one has O8).

I mean, who ever thought Al Sharpton would recover his beloved status amongst the Deansters? Yet, he has just yesterday. :eyes:

I find it a very fun show, Deansters at play. B-)

Begone, smilies!

19. That does seem to be the current vogue message they're pushing

The latest push seems to be Kerry should be going after Clark instead of Dean. We'll see if that one has O8).

I've seen Dean supporters making this statement in several threads recently.

27. WOW

"American Son" is unbelievable. I would encourage all fence-sitters to at least check it out. This guy is such a gift to the Democratic party it's beyond words.

[jmaier]

7. are there any limits

to how snarky we can be around here? For God's sake, I make it my mission to avoid jumping into every pro-Dean thread with some asinine remark because ... um ... well, I'm older than 15.

[MIMStigator]

23. No limits when people are trying to defend a lightweight.

we see the same thing from * supporters

[Jerseycoa]

14. Ignore this prune?

I might, but my list of Ignored Deansters is already so long, sometimes Ignore folders are taking up half a thread. I hear prunes are good for, you know, pooping. Now that scatalogical strategy must have been thought up by a two-year old. It seems on the wane, I'm delighted to see.

:boring: :freak:

17. Prune, did you watch the movie?

The first scene was the funeral of Clark's roommate. You may feel that's something worth "" but I don't. Hell, I had tears in my eyes from watching it.

[MIMStigator]

22. whereas skiing in Aspen just makes Dean giggle about.....

how he beat the system while people like Clark were putting lives on the line

[bluestateguy]

4. I just watched it

Not quite as good as the Clinton film in 1992, but still very good, and very appropriate for an electorate that is more concerned about national security than it was in 1992.

[WillyBrandt]

5. He's going to have some nice looking grandkids

And his wife's accent is great!

[texasmom]

6. Saw the video tonight

It's unbelievably inspiring. It's so powerful because of Clark, himself, but also because of the people telling his story--from family to friends to former co-workers to his former roommate to his superiors to soldiers who were under his command. His character, intelligence, kindness, and positive vision for the future are just incredibly impressive. We are so fortunate that he is in the race.

[bhunt70]

8. great!!

9. Saw it tonight

at a Clark House Party. It was terrific. He's truly an incredible man. I hope we don't blow the opportuntity we have to turn the world in a positive direction by electing him. Leaders like him come around rarely.

10. I really enjoyed that

Thanks so much for posting it. I should go more regularly to the website. My own fault. I never seem to have enough time. How long has this been up?

[Clark Can WIN]

12. It's official, I've gone over the edge.

Wes, I love you.

[Jerseycoa]

15. I've watched it twice

Thought it was very, very good. I liked the military cheering squad to offset some of the bitter generals from whom we've heard so much.

[Clark Can WIN]

18. Kick

this is a must see

[RandomUser]

20. I agree

It's a very well executed movie that ties all of fundamentals together.

[MIMStigator]

21. Unbelievable. If democrats don't nominate Clark ....

..then there's no hope for a party of idiots

[RandomUser]

24. It's a must see video

I'm really impressed and surprised by how power the video is.

[Donna Zen]

25. So I'm watching the video

when one of my childhood friends turns up on the screen. I wrote to her this summer when I was considering the candidates, because I knew she was a friend of Clark. But seeing her...well...it's just like being there.

When I read the slams directed at him by those who have zero time to find out who he is, it makes me cringe. It also makes me work harder.

[RandomUser]

26. That's so cool

Who was your childhood friend? (Only if you don't mind my asking, of course)

But it must have been a pleasant surprise. :)

28. Fencesitters - Watch "American Son"

How you can you NOT love this guy? It's insane. We've had the Bush antidote dropped right in our laps. What are we going to do with it?
