BREAKING NEWS: CLARK'S SHOT! - AT KERRY!
Something to consider...
providing you are able to set aside blind devotion and
examine other possiblities.

Snip:
"This article below is both polemical and accusatory; it is a stray from what I would normally write, but I think it needs
to be said, you do not have to agree nor even like it. It troubles me enough to have written it. It was written months
ago when Wesley Clark, a consummate “insider,” corporate player upon retirement, millionaire with a little help
from his friends and stalking horse for the Bush family regime. Michael Moore has been made a fool of endorsing this
man, but as is customary on the progressive Left, he will never admit error nor apologize, he is himself no less
arrogant and puffed-up than Clark himself. I took the piece below off my website months ago and had only
intended to run it with follow-ups had Clark miraculously gotten the nomination of the Democratic Party. But I never
believed (as you will see in retrospect) he was running “to win” but running to see to it no other Democrat could
pose a real threat to Bush & Company. His, Clark’s recent statements to the press immediately below give further
and damning evidence that Clark is a life-long Bush Republican and Stalking Horse for Bush Junior. He leaves the
Democratic race, stabbing the Democrat’s only (remaining) front runner in the heart over some bullshit “intern”
Clinton-like issue: It’s Monica Lewinski all over again. He handed Bush the race, by handily handing Hannity Kerry’s
head on Platter! Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Savage will savage Kerry; it will be felt all through the race; trickle-down will
bleed Kucinich and Dean into pale weak obscurity. Brilliant move by Bush Senior....Absolutely the chess master’s
Coup d’etat. I give you Matt Drudge’s Report:

'A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic
nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT
has learned. ...A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been
underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the
woman in question once worked....
MORE : A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that
now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head! In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters
earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.] The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned
increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision to drop out
of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. (February 12, 2004, 11: 45 AM)'

You will now be asked to plod through way too much research and analysis (for most) to understand why Wesley
Clark (the consummate team player!) trashed the front runner running against George Bush Junior before leaving
the race, why Clark spent five months bleeding off millions (maybe as much as $50 million) of dollars any of the other
legitimate candidates would have gotten; bled off support from a significant sector of Democratic support and
endorsement (Hollywood and the Michael Moore groupies); used himself to discredit the credibility of all the other
candidates, then cut and run (The Clark campaign headquarters had just e-mailed me the day before he dropped
out that Clark was raising $1 million a week; when he suddenly dropped out of the race). Here is the article I ran
immediately after Clark announced his candidacy months ago, the piece I was only going to run if he won the
nomination, the research I think you may now find of interest after Clark set the media dogs loose on Kerry!

But I'm polite, and will say no more about your post.

5. Given the quickness of you reply...
I see you could not have possibly have read the full article.
Knee jerk reactions are not going to help us.

8. No, I read the whole thing.
It's easy to speed-read where there is no underlying content.

11. Has it been debunked yet??
Seriously wondering here because I haven't been following this stuff.

I will say that doesn't sound like something Clark would say or do, to me, anyway.(commenting to reporters like that) FTR I've never bought into this Clark is a RW trojan horse nonsense, either.

10. Sorry you feel that way-
Free speech is one of the things I value about
this country, so no,
I won't go away.
If that bothers you, call Ashkkkroft.

6. I think it was the Clintons who released this
Bill and Hillary have much to gain by having Clark release this about Kerry. Bring down Kerry, set up Hillary for 2008. After all, Clark was basically a Clinton puppet, not a BUSH puppet. I think your theory is far fetched and ridiculous.

I'm sure you think that mine is ridiculous!

9. Oh yeah ...
And I guess Clark spent 38 years in the military just so he could make a few bucks consulting. Whatever.

13. Basically,
Yes, but it has certainly been more than
a "few" bucks.
READ the whole article before you respond-
PLEASE?

14. OK, I'll bite
Wesley Clark and/or the Clintons released something negative about Kerry that the Republicans wouldn't have done themselves?

Yep - sounds plausible to me. Sorta.

Actually, no.

15. 'stalking horse for the Bush family regime.'
Credible. Very credible. Hilarious. This insane shit was here to greet CLark's entrance, and it's here now that he's gone. A variant, I suppose, of the old saying 'what comes around, goes around.'
