Wesley Clark's Radical Left-Wing Agenda
"If you moderate Democrats and Reagan Democrats thought Wesley Clark was "a different kind of Democrat candidate," you'd better think again. Clark is taking up for these lily-livered, linguini-spined Democrats who whine that their "patriotism" is being challenged when they know very well that it's their judgment during the war on terrorism that's being called into question. They aren't to be trusted, and this is why they're not going to win the 2004 election.

He and his handlers want to redefine patriotism to make sure that it includes the rants and the rages of the hate-America crowd. That's exactly what he means here when he talks about how we must "respect dissent." If you don't hate America and this president, then you're not patriotic as they define it. Yet it's just as safe to speak out against the government in America as it is to speak to yourself alone at home."

Huh? Did Rush Limbaugh get fooled and publish a Bob Boudelang piece?

3. Ah-hah
This is all part of the alleged RW conspiracy to elect Clark, right?

Rush is playing his role very well, don't you think?

5. I don't think Clark went quite that far
but I'm willing to go out on a limb and say that your patriotism is a little off kilter if you don't hate this president. Sounds like things are going real well. I just hope that they don't kill him. Really. I think Clark is the biggest, baddest threat to the RW and neocon agenda that's likely to come along for a long, long time.

7. Because he knows them...
...has worked with them. He KNOWS HOW THEY THINK!

Some on DU imply Clark IS one of them through guilt by association. I don't agree with that. However, his knowledge of them - his years of working along side of them - is his advantage. And ours.

Think of it as a QB who knows his opposing coach's playbook.

6. Flush

Is the epitome of narrow-minded. He can only see ANYTHING from his own distorted perspective.

Clark's statements about "respecting" dissent isn't about DEFINING patriotism as "attacking" the President, but simply a statement that you are NOT UN-Patriotic if you do. This is the seeds of Limbaugh’s own hate. Sadly, Democrats have to use canards like “Well I support the troops” before making ANY statements of criticism about the misguided war effort.

Democrats are having to defend themselves because of people like Flush. Then we go out and defend ourselves and we are accused of doing what the Reich has done to inspire this defense in the first place.

The propaganda and brain-washing going on is breath-taking. Limbaugh is such an unbelievable and contemptible human being, not just because he’s an unintelligent, narrow-minded, ideological boob, but because he and his ilk are doing their best to subvert democracy.

9. when our power was off I actually listened to about 5 minutes of him
That was enough. He stated as if it were a fact that the anti-war protestors hated America and delighted in the bad situation (red:soldiers dying) in Iraq.

I went outside to have a smoke and my wife turned the dial while I was gone.

11. He states everything as fact
Edited on Thu Sep-25-03 08:35 AM by kwolf68
To state something as opinion implies that it is merely your perspective and there could be another paradigm to be explored.

Critical thinking is not something Conservatives are known for, nor is it something Limbaugh is all about, because it may open people’s minds to NOT be Conservative.

The goal is to create a monolithic cult of believers who KNOW they are right and to denigrate anyone who opposes them. The fact Limbaugh has any credibility is an indictment on our nation.

I hope we don't see this in the Democratic party, either.

10. I'm sorry...
I just can't listen to that asshole.

I just can't.

I really, really can't.

I tried, and I know there's something to be said about knowing your enemy, but the last time I totalled the car. After running down three cats and a guy in a wheelchair.

I just can't listen to him.

(A judge told me so.)
