Why didn't General Clark's wife, Gert, say anything about Clark's
Edited on Tue Jan-13-04 12:05 AM by slinkerwink
...........

Edit: This is to show you why you shouldn't attack the wives of candidates. Gert Clark isn't running for President, and her history with Clark shouldn't be questioned. Neither should the wife of Dr. Howard Dean. Judith Steinberg Dean, should not be attacked because she is not running for President. LEAVE her alone!

5. I really don't want to attack her, because one shouldn't attack
wifes of candidates here on DU, of all the places. I brought this up to see how fucking stupid it is to attack the wife or children of a Democratic candidate!

of attack.

28. Can't believe you would kick this one.
If it were mine I would be frantically starting new threads to push this one onto page 2.

10. apparently not.
I'm in agreement, wives aren't running for office, neither are children... But a revenge thread is pretty fucking stupid.

11. I agree with you....but there are so many "revenge" threads on here
that it's hard to separate the good threads from all the bad ones.

12. Ignore the asses hitting on Dean's wife

She's a fine woman with her own career and sense of individual worth. I'll take an independent female MD over some General's wife anyday.

Sheesh. And I'm not even a Dean supporter!

Here's a little tid-bit for you from someone who served in USAREUR at the time this happened. You don't even want to know what the soldiers were saying about this!

====
Was it because Clark's $120,000 U.S. Army Mercedes -- with a reported highly classified radio system aboard -- was car-jacked while his wife used it as a personal vehicle to drive to the golf course?

Limo-driving Eurocrats targeted by international carjacking gang
By Stephen Castle in Brussels
29 April 2001


Even General Wesley Clark , Nato's former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, had the embarrassment of losing his armour-plated limousine, although the car, stolen when unoccupied at a golf course, was recovered within 24 hours.

Military wifes are NOT entitled to use these official cars (which come equipped with Chauffer and STU-3's) but some of them think that well, rules are for little people ;) and use these tax-payed cars to go from hair-appointment to comissary to whatever. Very sad and the soldiers resent this very much.

15. Dean's wife shouldn't be attacked
as political fodder. That being said, I'm still waiting on the PNAC thing.

18. Slinkerwink...try reading that other thread.
The only one with a clark tag was defending dean, there were people with tags of Kerry and Kucinich questioning Dean, and atleast one dean supported remarked about Clark.

Find me an instance where a clark supporter attacked Deans wife in that thread and I'll find you one from another candidate and 1 from clark.

Your thread is misguiding seeing as how the attacks didnt even come from a clark supporter.

Are you just swinging wildly?

21. a lot of clark supporters don't have tags of Clark
and I do see a lot of clark/kerry/kucinich supports attacking Dr.Judith Steinberg Dean for having a full practice, and for wanting to help her patients out.

23. Yes, it's right up there.
There's something childishly disingenuous about stirring up shit and then innocently complaining about the smell.

20. this is so ridiculous I have to reply to myself.

Why is it you automatically take your ire out on Clark supporters?

Like I said...swinging blindly.

22. my head hurts every time i read this
crap about his wife- no his wife- no blah blah blah. meanwhile the whitehouse is in serious trouble..no, not the "big interview" but the story that was on buzzflash today. the story no one fully understands.the story that everyone overlooked- the army college`s ripping of bush and his conduct of the war. the commander in chief has lost the respect of his military. the generals are speaking out, they finally are saying what the german generals could only think-the leader is mad....

31. I have posted plenty on this
I have defended the military countless times from all the hatred here.

The PNAC chickenhawk civilians started this war, & the military opposed it. The military knew it was wrong, & they would be the ones to go & die in Iraq, not Bush, or Cheney's crowd.

Wes Clark testified to Congress, as did many other military people, not to go to war. Remember Gen Shinseki who was smeared? Remember Tony Zinni who was called a traitor.

Not only are these posts about wives stupid & devisive, but they are not holding Bush & Co accountable. The War College tried today. So let's stop bashing wives, & military (who are dying) & get constructive.
