Better not mess with Clark (RIGHT)
2003-12-22
Moments after praising his opponents in the Democratic presidential race as worthy running mates, Wesley Clark said, in no uncertain terms, how he would respond if they or anyone else criticized his patriotism or military record. "I’ll beat the s--- out of them," Clark told a questioner as he walked through the crowd after a town hall meeting Saturday. "I hope that’s not on television," he added. It was, live, on C-SPAN.
(OOPS)
The campaign’s traveling press secretary, Jamal Simmons, was with Clark at the time. "If anyone tries to question Wes Clark’s character, integrity or his commitment to this country or its security, they’re going to be in the biggest fight they’ve ever had," Simmons said.
Not sure if this was ranted before, but I want to question two things here: Weasly’s patriotism and his military record. What do you call some who speaks in half-truths and outright lies that are meant to hurt their country? A patriot? I think not. What do you call a person that by passes the chain of command without at least letting that person know that your are doing so? How about threatening said Superior because you happen to be buddies with the President? And you want to question President Bush’s character and motives? Please you are not even in the same league. Gee General Clark did I hurt your feeling? Please use the email link to contact me so I can report for my beating.

#11  I'm 57 years old, and in bad physical shape. I'll take him on, three rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules. During my Freshman year at the AF Academy, I went 17-0-1, and the 1 was a fluke (slipped in my opponent's blood and cracked my head hard enough to put me in the hospital).

Well, Weasley? Are you up to this old, fat MSgt (Retired)?

#7  If you have ever read the book "Once an Eagle" by Anton Meier (sp??), the gutless Pentagon weenie antagonist, Courtney Massengale, is clearly based on Clark. Most distastful. One more of Clinton's generals.

#6  IIRC, the common Vietnam-era phrase for people like Clark was "buddyfucker".

#5  Any bets this whole episode was scripted?

And what do you call someone who would immediately resort to violence against anyone who disagrees with them? A Patriot? No, I call them a THUG.

I question Wheasle's Patriotism and his military record (and so far find both lacking). If he does not like it he should not have entered the race.

#4  What happens if Braun questions Clarke's patriotism and military record and Clark actually attacks her. (a) If Clark wins the fight he looks like a bully, a moron, and an out of control fool and he loses the black vote and the womens vote entirely (b) If Clark loses the fight he loses all credibility as the warrior of the democrats. (c) If he doesn't follow up on his threats he looks like a blowhard fool.

If I were Carol Mosely Braun I would have taken the challenge. She's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
