| Michael Moore Calls Bush a Deserter at NH Clark Rally |
| 2004-01-18 |
| Severely EFL...most of the rest is just the usual "who did what today on the campaign trail" stuff... Michael Moore, a Weasley Clark supporter, introduced the Democratic presidential nominee at a campaign rally here Saturday by saying he looked forward to debates between Clark, if he wins the Democratic nomination, Heaven help us all if that happens and Bush. "I want to see that debate: the general versus the deserter," Moore said to enthusiastic applause at a packed rally in a high-school gymnasium, probably more like a cafeteria....can’t imagine him ever going in a gym reiterating a line he uses frequently. Clark, asked later by reporters if he agreed with Moore’s characterization of Bush as a "deserter," said: "I’ve heard those charges. I don’t know whether they’re established or not. He was never prosecuted for it. The question in this election is can we bring a higher standard of leadership to America." Bush served as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard from May 1968 to October 1973, mostly flying F-102 fighter interceptors. He did not go to Vietnam. That’s still more than Mikey ever did.... Bush spent most of his time in the Guard based near Houston, but in May 1972 he received a three-month assignment in Alabama with the 187th Tactical Recon Unit in Montgomery while he worked on a political campaign in the state. Retired Gen. William Turnipseed, a commander at the Alabama base, said during the 2000 presidential campaign that he never saw Bush appear for duty for that unit’s drills. Bush maintains he was there, but records have never been produced to document that Bush was there. or to document that he wasn’t there, either, but I digress.... At a news conference after the rally, Clark insisted, "I’m not going to get into the issues of what George W. Bush did or didn’t do in the past." "I’ll just have this bloated sack of unhygienic goo do it for me....do you like my new sweater?" But he also declined to criticize Moore’s "deserter" remarks. What’s that old saying? Silence implies consent. "I’m delighted with Michael Moore, I really appreciate his support, he’s a fantastic |

| #5 I know where you're coming from but saying you can't comment on someones military record unless you were actually in the military just doesn't sound right to me. Even a windbag like Mikey Moore. There's enought to bag on him about without treading into neo-Chickenhawk type attacks. |

| #2 You may be right OP. But 30 years ago we were still in the Cold War. And 10 years ago we were gripped by the Clintonian Era. As long as someone keeps his personal views from interfering with his job, they're usually not fired. It was only when he jumped the Politcal Gun in trying to keep the Soviets from occupying that airport that he was dismissed. He's still being a soldier and General. Except now he's fighting in a Political War, where his views are the weapons. Most likely his former colleagues are hanging their heads in shame. |

| #1 "I’m delighted with Michael Moore That much bs is enough to disqualify the piece of unspent fecal matter from holding any political office. I'm also wondering why the United States spent 30 years supporting this moron. He should have been purged after achieving captain's rank. |
