Drudge after Clark!!!

[Donny247]

I love it!! Drudge is giving him top of the page treatment. The right is going insane!! I'm an Edwards man myself, but if Drudge and his pals are this afraid, maybe I should jump on board the Clark bandwagon!

[Speck Tater]

1. Before you consider jumping on the bandwagon

consider this from salon.com:

The most surreal moment came when the Iraq questions were getting tougher, and Clark called for his press aide Mary Jacoby. "Mary, help!" the retired general cried, in a moment that could define him, and not as the tough military leader his supporters tout him as. The soothing Jacoby reminded Clark, "You said you would have voted for the resolution as leverage for a U.N.-based solution."

"Right," Clark responded. "Exactly."

17. That's pornographic

Clark cried, Jacoby soothed him. One thing led to another...

[Brian Sweat]

2. I and the rest of the nutty Clark bars will gladly welcome you aboard,

but that is kind of a silly reason to support a candidate.

3. Add These Bandwagons to Your List...

Kerry
Dean
Clark
Gephardt

These folks have all experienced GOP bashing this election cycle. With such a boring nomination process on the GOP side, what else is there to do?

4. Talk radio wingnuts down here

have been peeing their pants since Tuesday. They are seriously bent out of shape, attacking viciously. Freeperdom is also all astir...I understand Rush is leading the charge. I think it shows pretty clearly who they're afraid of...

5. Last I heard, Drudge was after anything that wears Boxers

He's a punk- ignore him. Go read Buzzflash instead!

[MIMStigator]

7. They're terrified

McCokespoon is going down.

8. Drudge: please don't throw me into the briar patch

and please don't let the dems pick Clark.

9. I really am quite surprised by the Right's reaction

if they just played it cool, Clark might not be able to make room for himself in the large field of candidates. But by coming after Clark now, they give him free press coverage. More importantly, they make him look more appealing to liberals.

[newsguyatl]

15. there is NOTHING about clark

that is appealing to liberals...


unless you're talking about the liberals who are war hawks

10. I was once an edwards man myself

until I realized he had nothing to offer. Wesley Clark for POTUS!

11. bush tried to destroy Edwards

from the time he entered the race including a smart ass jab during the State of the Union. Such a coward, but then they're all cowards - bush, cheney, wolfowitz, rumsfeld, etc. Any Democrat is much, much superior to anything on the other side.

12. Not to sound too nuanced but....

Voting for the resolution and voting for the war are different. Didn't the resoultion just give the Pres. authority to act. In fact, wasn't the resolution passed before the last go around at the UN? So somebody who voted in favor of the resolution wasn't necessarily in favor of the war. Clark talked about giving the President leverage and that's what it did. The problem for him is that in the soundbite world, the media doesn't have time to understand his point. So his only mistake was making a reasoned point rather than flip flopping.

13. Voting for the resolution and voting for the war are different

Not to people who were against the war. It did not work for Kerry and I will not work for Clark.

14. War is sometime inevitable .. based on the circumstances ....

SURELY we avoid war when we can .... and just as surely, we make war if we must .....

That is the problem here ... we DIDNT need war in Iraq ... But 'reasonable' men can come to the reasonable conclusion that war was justified IF the litany of lies coming from the PNAC cabal were true ......

EVERY Democrat who approved of the War because of the FALSE intelligence information offered by the Criminal-in-chief can hardly be disowned because of this ..... There is no need to eat our own .....

Perhaps Clark 'may' have also 'approved' of the IWR as well, if he had received the same BOGUS info peddled by the AEI government of Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz ... not to mention Perle, Shulsky and Feith ....

Clark, like Kerry, COULD come to the reasonable conclusion to make a just war against a madman with WMD ..... IF it were actually true ....

Problem is: .. it wasnt .. it was a lie .... Kerry and Liebermann and any other congressperson who voted for IWR based on 'sex'ed up' intelligence can hardly be held completely accountable ... they had NO reason to believe, based on previous recent experience, that the information would be so wrong .....

ONLY under a Bush regime could it be so wrong ... apparently ...

Lets stop deep sixing our own Democratic candidates ..... they acted within reason based on the info given .... Even if I personally disagreed with it .....

16. thanks, trajan

"There is no need to eat our own" - some people around here apparently survive doing just that. Half the time I post I feel like I'm "playing defense" for one Democratic candidate or another.
