Lord.....while your at it , find someone to give wesley clark his just deserves.
Never thought I would live to see the day that the Great Democratic Party of JFK would mock someone else for actually serving this country during war time and get away with it.....is there no moral compass in this nation ??
it is ugly politics like this that drive good men like el Gato Malo out of the dam campaign....could you imagine the havoc that would ensue if they ever unearthed a gem or two from my storied military career......Lynch and Duff would be interviewed by TMZ every friggin night....boy would my campaign be in trouble.....even mans best friend Gravey might swing her vote......I think I can still count on Mcribbits my pond frog though.....I din't think he watches TMZ....
"I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a
qualification to be president," Clark said of McCain on "Face the
Nation" - and then repeated it on several nationally broadcast venues.
But Obama's not about to stop using Clark as a campaign surrogate. Nor
is the onetime NATO commander about to retract his remarks about the man
who spent five years as a prisoner of war.
What a far cry from four years ago - when Wesley Clark was denouncing
criticism of John Kerry by groups supporting President Bush.
"In the heat of a political campaign," wrote Clark in a New York Times
op-ed, "attacks come from all directions.
"Although President Bush has not engaged personally in such accusations,
he has done nothing to stop others from making them. I believe those who
didn't serve . . . should have the decency to respect those who did
serve."
Now, it might be easy to dismiss Clark's comments as a pathetic attempt
to stay politically revelant.
But Clark is the eighth prominent Democrat and Obama supporter to throw
darts at McCain's military service.
They include Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who derided McCain as someone who
"dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet" and thus doesn't "care
about the lives of people."
Obama foreign-policy advisor Rand Beers said McCain's having spent five
years as a prisoner of war in the Hanoi Hilton left him "isolated" from
anti-war sentiment, meaning his national-security viewpoint is "sadly
limited."
Sen. Tom Harkin complained that McCain can be "pretty dangerous" because
his views come from "always having been in the military."
Of course, these remarks are always predicated with the line that "we
honor his service."
Baloney.
As a McCain spokesman said, "If this kind of wink-and-nod game is how
Barack Obama wants to run his
campaign, then fine. But spare us the empty talk of 'new politics' and
raising the dialogue in this country."
