Ah, those diversity-loving liberals. You know, the kind who would stifle free speech with their Orwellian "Fairness Doctrine," who threaten legal action against mom-and-pop T-shirt makers who criticize MoveOn.borg. Wesley Clark would now take things one step further, whacking Rush Limbaugh off the Armed Forces Newtwork radio airwaves...

Wesly Clark endorsed Hillary. I give you below (in the first post) the link to the article:

Reuters Sep. 15th, 2007 article where Wes endorses Hillary.

Do some checking and see if Hillary has plans to have Wes as a potential running mate, and if she is going to use him to reach out to some she has alienated in the past.

Ashley Wilkes...aka, the Mad Bomber of Bosnia is a joke.
A very sad and pathetic old joke.

This Wesley Clark?

Transcript of today's show.

RUSH: (laughing) Putting it in perspective. Now, General Clark, let's talk about him just a second here before we go to the break, the mad bomber of Bosnia. Is this the same Wesley Clark who did nothing to try to prevent the mass murder of 800,000 Rwandans? Is this the same Wesley Clark who was in a position to insist the Clinton administration and the United Nations send help to that region to try to stop the mass murder of 800,000 Rwandans? Is this the same Wesley Clark who has never had to answer for his indifference to that genocide, and, worse, in the face of this genocide, in a public investigation, has never had to answer for it? Is this the same Wesley Clark who was once a Republican who supported President Bush but then changed parties so he could run for president and then attack President Bush? Is this the same Wesley Clark who could not muster any popular support for his hilarious run for the presidency?

You see, this is why the mad bomber of Bosnia can't read a transcript or listen to an audio and speak truthfully about them. He's no longer a general. He's just another in a long line of liberal hacks, ladies and gentlemen. Now, General Clark, we all appreciate your service in the military, but what you're doing now has nothing to do with your service. It has to do with your decision to play mud ball with the left. I don't know about you, Mr. Clark, but I go to bed at night with zero problems. How do you sleep, sir? How do you and the rest of the Clinton administration sleep knowing you did nothing about the genocide in Rwanda?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I'm going to go back, I'm going to stay on the mad bomber of Bosnia for a moment, ladies and gentlemen, and that is General Wesley Clark. Do you remember, Michael Moore called George W. Bush a deserter, and Wesley Clark stood up for Michael Moore's right to say that? This is a NewsMax story, January 22nd, 2004, during General Clark's ill-fated run at the Democratic presidential candidacy. "In a response that could turn out to be General Clark's worst blunder yet..." and that's a tough call, because there were so many of them, "...the presidential hopeful said his supporter, firebrand filmmaker and propagandist Michael Moore, had a right to call President Bush a military deserter." We have the audio sound bite. It was a debate in Manchester, New Hampshire, January 22nd, 2004. Peter Jennings said, "General Clark, this is really a simple question about knowing a man by his friends. The other day you had a rally here, and one of the men who stood up to endorse you, was the controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. You said you were delighted with him. At one point Mr. Moore said in front of you that President Bush, saying that he'd like to see you, the general, President Bush, to be called a deserter. Now, that's a reckless charge not supported by the facts, and I was curious to know why you didn't contradict him and whether or not you think it would have been a better example of ethical behavior to have done so."

THAT was and is the true objective here. Don't want any of the Armed Forces having a conservative opinion now, do we?

Shocker.../s

He'll get his Hsu money back if Hillary is kept clean before being elected.

I remember when Randi Rhodes was on Air America saying some pretty vile things....not a peep out of the Libs.

I wonder...do the Liberals really think they’re getting one over on people or is just part of their plan to take advantage of the average ignorant American?

Not all lefties are thrilled to associate with the Mad Bomber of Bosnia either. This comes from antiwar.com but they source their material.

At the beginning of the Kosovo conflict, CounterPunch delved into the military career of General Wesley Clark and discovered that his meteoric rise through the ranks derived from the successful manipulation of appearances: faking the results of combat exercises, greasing to superiors and other practices common to the general officer corps. We correctly predicted that the unspinnable realities of a real war would cause him to become unhinged. Given that Clark attempted to bomb the CNN bureau in Belgrade and ordered the British General Michael Jackson to engage Russian troops in combat at the end of the war, we feel events amply vindicated our forecast.

(snip)

This is the guy who received the Kosovo Campaign Medal after having been granted a waiver, although according to an article in Stars and Stripes (European addition), no one seems to know who granted the waiver in time for the general to get the first medal awarded. Even though he led the international alliance in its 78-day blitz against Yugoslavia, the waiver was necessary because General Clark's service did not meet the criteria for the award which required service in the actual theater of operation. It appears that Clark made no effort to secure similar waivers for the thousands of service personnel who supported the effort from bases outside the combat zone.

Just a sample.

Wesley Clark is not as popular as Dick Durbin among the military rank and file.

He wants to take it a step further and have Congress regulate WHAT can be said on the air. Oh but there’s that “violence” prohibition put in by the MODS.

Betcha Weasley Clark isn’t putting the strong arm on PBS for hosting Bill Moyer’s show.

The socialists are using every angle to prevent the EXPOSURE OF THEIR REAL AGENDA AND THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM. Rush represents the truth, presents the truth, and the socialists cannot handle the truth because the TRUTH IS THEIR BANE.

Now they are acting like the STALINISTS that they really are. They have lost any sense of what is proper, as evidenced by the behavior on the floor of the Congress where the left used their presence and government power to ATTACK THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN using thier government positions and power. THIS IS STALINISM in miy opinion. A government using its power over the people to intimidate and SUPPRESS THE FREE SPEECH that exposes their lies, their deceit, their fraud, and their REAL AGENDA which is so totally ANTI-AMERICAN, that its exposure is a sure political death for the DemoRats.

Americans need to witness and listen to what these runaway criminals/Stalinists are doing, and using the government power to do it. This is serious and very bad for America.

Ashley gentle, kind? He couldn’t tell a strong woman (think Hillary, only attractive) “no” in spite of having a truly wonderful, devoted wife. He was a weenie.

There’s another one. Stephanie Miller out of Miami, Florida. I had the misfortune to hear her a couple of weeks go while on business travel.

I remarked at the time to my wife that she was the most vile creature I had heard - sounded just like Randi Rhoades.

Wesley Clark is asking his readers to e-mail members of Congress, through his website, demanding that Rush Limbaugh be removed from Armed Forces Radio. You can FREEP his "dump Rush" campaign here.

Wasn't that the purpose of the McCain/Feingold "Censure America" Act?
