5. Actually
It isn't the truth and has pretty much been debunked dozens of times here at DU.

1) He was a registered independent who voted for Republican presidential candidates pre-Clinton.

2) Arkansas didn't actually have formal party registrations until several years ago so most folks there weren't registered Democrat or Republican.

3) It's pretty hard to see ex-Clinton supporters, Andy Young, Charlie Rangel and many others actually standing up for a Republican in the Democratic primary.

Of course, it makes a nice little soundbite to repost over and over. Fortunately for Wes Clark, it's the sort of negative attack that actually works to his favor with most of the electorate. So keep using it, please.
