Clark | Clark and Race

Steven Taylor discusses some disturbing race baiting by Gen. Wesley Clark. One expects this sort of thing from Al Sharpton, not someone trying to position himself as the sensible alternative to Howard Dean.

Id rather hear what Clark has to say on palling around with ethnic cleansers.

Read about what the Civil Rights Commission found to know what he’s talking about. This is not news, people.

And Mark, General Clark didn’t “pal around” — he fought the Pentagon in order to fight the murderers, and he won.

Clark will parrot whatever his cruel puppet masters (Bill & Hill) tell him to say. Race baiting was one of Bill’s favorite pastimes (buring churches, affirmative action, etc.)

Dean’s busy grinding him into the ground, along with rest of the dwarfs.

I served with this bozo about 5 years ago. He will say anything to be the President. His ambition is without limit.

If he becomes the candidate, you will see legions of military people come out of the woodwork and let everyone know what they think about Clark. Normally, we would all herald the opportunity for “one of ours” to be the President— especially a combat veteran and West Point graduate.

This guy has betrayed the values of the Army and the fine institution that educated him. It is a shame…

Monni,

Perhaps you missed the picture of ol’ Wes clownin’ around with Ratko Mladic. I find the idea of someone who “fights the murderers” by jokingly wearing one their military hats to be laughable indeed.

If it weren’t so repulsive, I mean.
