Breaking News: Clark's Shot At Kerry

Edited on Thu Feb-12-04 09:14 PM by BeHereNow
Well heck, I broke rule number ten on my original post
of this Axisoflogic.com article.
Trying again, because I think it worthy of reasonable discussion
and consideration.

http://www.axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/article_5107.shtml
Snip:
"This article below is both polemical and accusatory; it is a stray from what I would normally write, but I
think it needs to be said, you do not have to agree nor even like it. It troubles me enough to have written it. It was
written months ago when Wesley Clark, a consummate “insider,” corporate player upon retirement, millionaire with a
little help from his friends and stalking horse for the Bush family regime. Michael Moore has been made a fool ofendorsing this
man, but as is customary on the progressive Left, he will never admit error nor apologize, he is himself no
less arrogant and puffed-up than Clark himself. I took the piece below off my website months ago and had
only intended to run it with follow-ups had Clark miraculously gotten the nomination of the Democratic Party.
But I never believed (as you will see in retrospect) he was running “to win” but running to see to it no other Democrat
could pose a real threat to Bush & Company. His, Clark’s recent statements to the press immediately below give
further and damning evidence that Clark is a life-long Bush Republican and Stalking Horse for Bush Junior. He
leaves the Democratic race, stabbing the Democrat’s only (remaining) front runner in the heart over some bullshit“intern”
Clinton-like issue: It’s Monica Lewinski all over again. He handed Bush the race, by handily handing
Hannity Kerry’s head on Platter! Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Savage will savage Kerry; it will be felt all through the race;
trickle-down will bleed Kucinich and Dean into pale weak obscurity. Brilliant move by Bush Senior....Absolutely the chess
master’s Coup d’etat. I give you Matt Drudge’s Report:

'A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the
Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the
DRUDGE REPORT has learned. ...A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John
Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS,
where the woman in question once worked....
MORE : A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories --
stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head! In an off-the-record conversation with a
dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." attendance
confirm Clark made the startling comments.] The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned
increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision
to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT. (February 12, 2004, 11: 45 AM)'

You will now be asked to plod through way too much research and analysis (for most) to understand
why Wesley Clark (the consummate team player!) trashed the front runner running against George Bush Junior before
leaving the race, why Clark spent five months bleeding off millions (maybe as much as $50 million) of dollars any
of the other legitimate candidates would have gotten; bled off support from a significant sector of Democratic
support and endorsement (Hollywood and the Michael Moore groupies); used himself to discredit the credibility of all
the other candidates, then cut and run (The Clark campaign headquarters had just e-mailed me the day before he
dropped out that Clark was raising $1 million a week; when he suddenly dropped out of the race). Here is the
article I ran immediately after Clark announced his candidacy months ago, the piece I was only going to run if he
won the nomination, the research I think you may now find of interest after Clark set the media dogs loose on Kerry!

Interesting to note that I am being attacked for posting someone else's
analysis...someone I happen to believe is absolutely correct in his summation.
Even more interesting to note is that given the swarming bee quickness of repies
to this post, there is no way anyone could have possibly read the whole
essay. It is long...

Edited for typos- Brownshirt Jackboot techniques always un-nerve me.
Especially at DU...
