Reply #21: Clark serves a purpose [View All]

[Mariner]

I agree that some of the Clark supporters are too strident. But Clark serves a wonderful purpose - I don't think there's anyone better right now at taking on the right wing media. Clark won't stand for their crap, and because of his military record Limbaugh, O'Reilly and company will be playing with fire if they dismiss him. In some ways Clark is even more adept than Dean in zeroing in on the repugs'weaknesses.
A lot of people are having doubts about the war but their opinions are still unsettled. For the next couple months, I don't think Dean or Kerry or any of the other announced candidates can do as effective a job as Clark in making sure the responsibility for the Iraq disaster is placed squarely on Bush. I'm not saying Clark should be president. But I really think he can be a great asset in bringing down the unelected wimp.
